Enhancements
#CRAPARTitleDetails
195574Support for generic IDoc type in ALE pass-through interface
Symptom: A separate IDoc definition is required for each IDoc the adapter is expecting to process. This can become unwieldy if the ALE pass-through interface is used to process many different IDoc types.
Resolution: The ALE pass-through interface supports a generic IDoc definition. This definition can be used by the adapter to process any IDoc type. An IDoc type field in the object definition is used to indicate the IDoc type.
295236Suport for custom SAP function module in QISS interface
Symptom: QISS interface uses SAP's RFC_READ_TABLE function module to retrieve data. On some SAP systems RFC_READ_TABLE fails and causes SAP short dumps. This results in the adapter throwing "Error in ASSIGN statement in the program SAPLSDTX" exception.
Resolution: To overcome this issue, SAP OSS note # 758278 recommends creating and using a custom function module instead of RFC_READ_TABLE. Once this custom function module is created on SAP system, you can enter the custom function module name when running external service wizard. The adapter will use this custom function module at run time.
395594Support inbound split IDoc packet in ALE pass-through interface
Symptom: ALE pass-through inbound interface does not support split IDoc packet.
Resolution: Provide the option to send each IDoc in the inbound packet as an individual business object.
495622Propagate transaction ID (event ID) for ALE inbound operation
Symptom: Transaction ID (event ID) is not populated in business object.
Resolution: Transaction ID (event ID) is populated in business object.

2. If you need to use the Fix Pack for EMD, delete the connector project in WebSphere Integration Developer, import the new RAR file, and apply the enterprise information system (EIS) specific dependency files.
   a. Open the Java build path for the SCA module and remove the Connector project that is selected on Projects tab.
   b. Open the dependency editor and remove the connector project.
   c. Delete the connector project from the workspace.
   d. Import the new RAR file. Add any dependency files from EIS specific application-specific information as needed.
   e. Open the Java build path for the SCA module and select the Connector project that is selected on the Projects tab.
   e. Open the dependency editor and add the connector project if it is not already present and select Deploy with Module.
3. If you need to update deployed applications on WebSphere Process Server, do the following:
   a. Select Update for the corresponding application on the WebSphere Process Server administrative console.
   b. Select Single Module with a relative path as name of the RAR file - CWYAP_SAPAdapter.rar, CWYAP_SAPAdapter_Tx.rar.
   c. Click Browse on the local file system to select the updated RAR file that has the changes.
   d. Select the default values in the remaining steps and click Finish. This will ensure that existing configurations, for example, are not changed and that only JAR files will be updated.
