Neptune DXP - SAP Edition 24.14.0 release notes

While using this kind of report, if the volume of data to be retrieved was higher, a blank screen displayed to users for a few seconds until the data was displayed. This caused confusion and the perception that the report was not working properly or that there was no data to be displayed. A proper busy indicator is now displayed.

When you want to save an API within the API Designer that has a transportable development package assigned and your system is configured with ChaRM CSOL, you will get an error and cannot continue. In addition to this fix, you might need to implement SAP Note 2904531 - "CSOL error causes runtime error (without SAP GUI)". It addresses a CSOL-related runtime error that occurs without SAP GUI by introducing the IV_DIALOG parameter in the function module TR_APPEND_TO_COMM_OBJS_KEYS, preventing the dialog call that triggers the issue.

Comparing versions in the Version Management app of the App Designer is now ~ four times faster. Large apps benefit most from this performance improvement, as their load times previously increased the risk of timeouts and limited the ability to perform comparisons.

After upgrading the SAP system to an S/4 version, the neptune.ValueHelpField stopped presenting the drop-down menus with the pre-defined values for the search fields when available. This occurred because the selection method of the search help in SAP changed to a CDS View preventing the proper determination of the checktable for those fields.

When values displayed in the drop-down menus of the search help fields contained special characters, an error occurred when opening the neptune.ValueHelpField and the app stopped working. We now escape these values to prevent this from happening again.

When using the Icon Explorer to set the src attribute of an object, the first object where this is invoked was changed for every subsequent call, even when changing to different objects. This now works as expected.

When you bind an image from the Media Library to a path such as /neptune/public/media/iso7010/m002.jpg, the system only locates m002.jpg if it exists in the specified iso7010 folder. A fallback mechanism now covers paths without a folder, for example /neptune/public/media/my_image.jpg. In this case, if my_image.jpg exists in the media root, that file is used. If does not exist, the fallback searches the entire Media Library and returns the first matching file it finds.

If the SAP Integration Hub is installed in the system, the Hub API library object is available for the consumption of Hub API data in apps.

Cockpit applications that contained events such as beforeDisplay had an increasing number of these events being triggered, each time the application was closed and opened again.

Because the SELECT clause used to retrieve the tool information relied on incompatible data types, some databases (for example, SAP MaxDB) produced a dump with the error “Data types must be compatible”.

When using the Icon Explorer to set the src attribute of an object, the first object where this is invoked was changed for every subsequent call, even when changing to different objects. This now works as expected.

When a user has the Neptune role /NEPTUNE/READ_ONLY, it should be possible to open the Cockpit and display all Cockpit tools in read-only mode. This was not the case, as after opening the Cockpit, the user received a Not Authorized dialog without the possibility to display any Cockpit tools.

If the SAP Integration Hub framework is installed in the system, the Hub API Designer is available in the Cockpit for management of Hub APIs.

If all tiles were hidden in the first tile group, the tile group was still used for the initial launchpad display. The first display of a screen/tile group now checks if the tile group should actually be displayed.

Calling AppCache.Load with only APPLID and no additional parameters now adds a hashNavigation object to the URL. Calling AppCache.Back and using the browser back button will now work as expected in this scenario.

When navigating between multiple apps many times, window.history kept track of all navigation and took the user back through all the states with AppCache.Back() or window.history.back(). If an app at some point was closed, either by calling neptune.Shell.closeTile(), or by closing the tile from the opened apps menu, the tile/app hash was still present in the window.history stack. Doing AppCache.Back() could in some cases encounter a hash from a tile that was closed, opening the tile/app again with full init/beforeDisplay. When a closed tile/app is encountered in the window.history, the launchpad now goes to #Home.

Calls of APIs within a launchpad that has an external alias configuration failed with a 404 "No API found" error. Now, APIs can also be called through a valid external alias path.

Once the limit of the counter field for the Most-Used tile was reached, dumps occurred in the SAP back-end system. The limit of this field was increased.

When using a launchpad or mobile client that has the Remote Debug framework enabled, calls to the SAP system statements (to record the console) triggered sap.ui.core.BusyIndicator.show(). This is now removed as the busy indicator might have led to a blocking of the UI (especially with slow internet connectivity).

The Master Client setting was not considered in /NEPTUNE/CL_NAD_APPCACHE when determining the new tile layout and tile group layout within a launchpad or mobile client.

The library preloading was improved to dynamically load required libraries when Neptune apps are running inside the Fiori launchpad.

Selecting Hide Mobile Client Header in the configuration now completely hides the header. It is no longer possible to bring the header back by pulling down on the screen.
