CONNECTOR REVISIONS

This patch contains the following revisions since the last maintenance release:

Available as of Version CR Number Feature Description
4.7.4 18440 Extension Module Keep the value of ObjectEventId for an inbound transaction when returning the object back to the integration broker.
4.7.4 16820 Rfc-Server, ALE Modules Resolves the issue of the adapter not terminating when connectivity is lost.  The listener threads of the adapter are now terminated which allow for the proper termination of the adapter.
4.7.4 16038 ODA Resolves the issue of a BAPI or RFC beginning with a digit.  These remote functions will be prefixed with the string "Rfm_".
4.7.4 15423 All When consecutive collaboration requests exceed the number of connections specified in property MaxNumberOfConnections there is a 30 second delay between request calls. This delay happens with multi-threaded collaborations or when the SAPConnector is run in multi-threaded mode. This patch changes the default delay setting to decrease the wait-time between requests.
4.7.3 15565 ALE, HDR Modules SAPConnector trims the values retrieved from SAP thus getting rid of leading spaces. This patch retains the original values coming from SAP without getting rid of spaces
4.7.3 15585 ALE, BAPI, Rfc-Server Modules SAPConnector version 4.7.0 on ICS version 3.1.2.11 displays a RfcAbort error for an Ale outbound transaction. SAPConnector version 4.7.0 makes calls that are only available in ICS version 4.x. This patch changes the calls to reference those that are available in ICS version 3.1.2.x.
4.7.2 14888 Extension Module SAPConnector populates ObjectEventId with literal 'CxIgnore'. This patch fix doesn't populate any value for the ObjectEventId attribute so that the connector infrastructure can generate and populate the ObjectEventId properly.
4.7.1 14750 Extension Module SAPConnector trims the values retrieved from SAP thus getting rid of leading spaces. This patch retains the original values coming from SAP without getting rid of spaces.
