Neptune DXP - SAP Edition 25.0.0 release notes

When a function module has (an) enhancement(s) that extend the signature of the function module (for example, BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE) and you use API Factory Class /NEPTUNE/CL_DR_LIB_SRC_FUNC_X to inspect the POST /execute endpoint, you will notice that the request body payload might stay empty. This will also lead to issues in the AI Context Hub for SAP for certain function module calls.

The functions New from File, Copy and Import from File have been fixed to work properly for extension apps.

New pages for EntitySets (Worklist) or EntityTypes (Object Page) can now be generated via context menu on any OData Source (V2 + V4).

The context menu on aggregations will now only show UI5 controls that match the type defined by the aggregation.

The menu action Import from File checks whether the given file really contains an app to prevent unpredictable behavior.

The following UI5 controls have been added to the App Designer control library.

Previously, using search and replace on a TypeScript string would replace the code in its transpiled JavaScript form instead of the original TypeScript. Search and replace now correctly updates the TypeScript source file.

Previously, searching for code would return results from the transpiled JavaScript version of TypeScript files, rather than the original TypeScript source. This has been fixed and search results now correctly point to the matching TypeScript string and line in the file.

After renaming an OData Source any linked app became unusable. Renaming is now prohibited and names must be unique in the system.

The wizard step tabs in the Translate Cockpit Objects Cockpit app rendered incorrectly under UI5 1.120. The process-step arrows and icons appeared misaligned and changed state at the wrong times (for example after the TRANSLATION_INIT call finished or when switching steps). The wizard header has been rebuilt and the process steps now carry a nep-wizard="progress" custom-data marker written to the DOM, so the step tabs and their progress indicators display correctly again.

Script files inherited from the base app are now loaded correctly, even when they weren’t changed or added within the extension app itself.

After accepting the launchpad’s This app was updated, reload? prompt, the tile silently kept showing the old version of the app instead of reopening with the latest one. AppCache.checkView now clears the app’s cached in-memory view once the updated version has finished downloading in the background, so accepting the prompt correctly rebuilds the tile from the fresh version instead of reusing the stale one.

Logging in and out and at the same time switching language would load live apps twice. Live apps will now only be started one time.

Since Neptune DXP - SAP Edition 24.12.0, only the top-level entries were displayed in the launchpad’s documentation side panel tree. The side panel now correctly displays the full documentation tree, including nested entries.

The launchpad top menu now uses the UI5 overflow menu control to display the opened apps. When there are more open apps than fit in the available width, the surplus items move into an overflow menu instead of being cut off, keeping every open app reachable on smaller screens.

When an application had been changed in the back end, the launchpad prompted the user to reload it. Accepting the reload dropped the application’s start parameters (and other load options), so the app reopened without the context it was started with. AppCache.checkView now forwards the original load options to the "app updated" flow, and the standard launchpad’s appUpdated handler passes them straight through to AppCache.Load, so start parameters are preserved when the app is reloaded.

On very small mobile devices, button background & text colors would not have enough contrast.

The mobile client now respects device safe areas on iOS and Android devices with notches, rounded corners, and home indicators. The viewport is rendered with viewport-fit=cover and the safe-area insets are applied at the top-level nepMainCanvas form element, so app content is no longer obscured by the status bar, notch, or home indicator. Tested on iPad (no safe areas), iPhones with notches and Android phones with notches.

The RichTextEditor’s source (code) view text area was rendered with the browser default colors, making the text hard to read on dark themes. It now uses the SAP theme colors (--sapBaseColor background, --sapTextColor text), matching the rest of the editor.

Enabling the math button (btnMath) on the RichTextEditor previously threw [SUNEDITOR.create.fail] To use the math button you need to add a "katex" object to the options, because the required KaTeX library was never provided to the editor. KaTeX (katex.min.js / katex.min.css) is now loaded on demand from the server when the math button is enabled and passed to the editor. The math dialog also no longer closes immediately the first time it is opened: committing the editor content back to the control on blur (and on save) no longer forces a re-render that recreated the editor and dismissed the open dialog.

You can now quickly check which system role is configured for an SAP system directly from the Cockpit. A new SAP System Role field has been added under System Settings → General, showing the configured role at a glance.

Editing tiles from inside the Tile Group app no longer keeps the app in display mode although creating a lock for the required tile.

You can now configure tiles to launch native Fiori applications directly, making it easier to bring SAP Fiori content into your launchpad experience.
