Connectivity	Integration	Neo	JCo Runtime for SAP Cloud Platform - Fixes	When using JCoRecord.fromJSON() for a structure parameter, the data is now always sent to the backend system. Also, you do not need to append the number of provided rows for table parameters before parsing the JSON document any more. Depending on the configuration of certain JCo properties, an internally managed connection pool could throw a JCoException (error group JCO_ERROR_RESOURCE). In a thread waiting for a free connection from this pool, an error message then erroneously reported that the pool was exhausted . This error situation could occur if the used destination was not configured with the property jco.destination.max_get_client_time set to 0 and the destination's jco.destination.peak_limit value was set higher than the jco.destination.pool_capacity. This issue has been fixed.	Changed	2018-12-06

Connectivity	Integration	Neo Cloud Foundry	Cloud Connector Fixes	Release of Cloud Connector 2.11.3: An issue in RFC communication could cause the trace entry com.sap.scc.jni.CpicCommunicationException: no SAP ErrInfo available when the network is slow. This issue has been fixed. The Windows service no longer runs in error 1067 when stopped by an administrator. In previous releases, the connection between a shadow and a master instance occasionally failed at startup and produced an empty error message. This issue has been fixed. The Cloud Connector does not cache Kerberos tokens in the protocol handler any more, as they are one-time tokens and cannot be reused. For HTTP access control entries, you can configure resources containing a # character.	Changed	2018-12-06
Connectivity	Integration	Neo Cloud Foundry	Cloud Connector Enhancements	Release of Cloud Connector 2.11.3: If the user sapadm exists on a system, the installation on Linux assigns it to the sccgroup, which is a prerequisite for solution management integration to work properly, see Configure Solution Management Integration. Restoring a backup has been improved. See Configuration Backup. The HTTP session store size has been reduced. You can handle higher loads with a given heap size. Cipher suite configuration has been improved. Also, there is a new security status entry for cipher suites, see Recommendations for Secure Setup.	Changed	2018-12-06
Connectivity	Integration	Neo	HTTP Destinations	The OAuth2 Client Credentials grant type is supported by the Destinations editor in the SAP Cloud Platform cockpit as well as by the client Java APIs ConnectivityConfiguration, AuthenticationHeaderProvider and HttpDestination, available in SAP Cloud Platform Neo runtimes. See OAuth Client Credentials Authentication.	Changed	2018-10-11

See Consuming the Connectivity Service (Cloud Foundry Environment) and Configure Principal Propagation via User Exchange Token (Cloud Foundry Environment).	Changed	2018-09-27
Connectivity	Integration	Neo Cloud Foundry	Cloud Connector 2.11.2	Release of Cloud Connector 2.11.2 SNC configuration now provides the value of the environment variable SECUDIR, which you need for the usage of the SAP Cryptographic Library (SAPCRYPTOLIB). See Initial Configuration (RFC). On Linux, the RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) now ensures that the configuration of the interaction with the SAP Host Agent (used for the Solution Manager integration) is adjusted. See Configure Solution Management Integration. The Cloud Connector shadow instance now provides a configuration option for the connection and request timeout that may occur during health check against the master instance. See Master and Shadow Administration.	Changed	2018-08-16
Connectivity	Integration	Neo Cloud Foundry	Cloud Connector 2.11.2	Fixes of Cloud Connector 2.11.2 In a high availability setup, the switch from the master instance to the shadow instance occasionally caused communication errors towards on-premise systems. This issue has now been fixed. You can now import multiple certificates with the same subject to the trust store. Details about expiration date and issuer are displayed in the tool tip. See Set Up Trust, section Trust Store. You can now configure also the MOC (Multiple Origin Composition) OData service paths as resources. The Location header is now adjusted correctly according to your access control settings in case of a redirect. Principal propagation now also works with SAML assertions that contain an empty attribute element. SAP Cloud Platform applications occasionally got an HTTP 500 (internal server error) response when an HTTP connection was closed. The applications are now always informed properly.	Changed	2018-08-16
Connectivity	Integration	Neo	HttpDestination Library	The SAP HttpDestination library (available in the SDK and cloud runtime "Java EE 6 Web Profile") now creates Apache HttpClient instances which work with strict SNI (Server Name Indication) servers. Use cases with strict SNI configuration on the server side will no longer get the error message Failure reason: "peer not authenticated", that was raised either at runtime or while performing a connection test via the SAP Cloud Platform cockpit Destinations editor (Check Connection function).

ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	Until now, it was required for the EML consumers to fill the `%control` structure to indicate whether a field was provided by the consumer or not. The `READ` and the `MODIFY` statements in EML now provide a `FIELDS ( field1 field2 ... ) WITH` option with a field list for reading, creating, and updating an entity's instance data. That means, all fields to be read, updated or are required for creation an entity's instance are specified in the field list. When using the `FIELDS` syntax, the EML consumers do not need to fill the `%contro`l structure any more. See Entity Manipulation Language (EML).	New	2019-12-09

ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	Consumption of Fixed Values of Customer-Defined Domains	You can use the newly released CDS views DDCDS_CUSTOMER_DOMAIN_VALUES and DDCDS_CUSTOMER_DOMAIN_VALUE_T to read domain values and their texts of customer-defined domains. Both CDS views are generic for all customer-defined domains. Therefore, you need to specify the requested domain as a parameter of the CDS view. See ABAP CDS Views.	New	2019-11-06
ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	You can now define the OData service namespace in service definitions with the annotation `@OData.schema.name`. See OData Annotations.	Changed	2019-11-06
ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	SAP Cloud Platform, ABAP Environment 1911 enforces the proper assignment of result values in action implementations when result parameters are declared in the corresponding action definition. Whereas actions returned the input entity if the result parameter was not filled in the action implementation before 1911, they now return the value of the result parameter as specified in the action definition and exactly according to its implementation. To avoid that a Fiori UI shows initial values, if nothing is returned, you must fill the result parameter for all actions. See Developing Actions.	Changed	2019-11-06
ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	The business object test double framework is now available. This framework allows you to mock your business objects to make them available for testing.	New	2019-11-06
ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	It is now possible to navigate to associated entities using more than one navigation for both, V2 and V4 services.

New	2019-11-06
ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	You can now use metadata extensions to define CDS annotations outside of the corresponding data definition of the CDS projection view. The use of metadata extensions allows the separation of concerns by separating the data model from domain-specific semantics, such as UI-related information for UI consumption. See Adding UI Metadata to the Data Model.	New	2019-11-06
ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	You can now define a mapping contract for applications that include unmanaged or managed business objects based on CDS entities on the one hand, and legacy data types (and functions) that are generally older and implement the behavior or parts of it. The general syntax for field and control (information) mapping in a behavior definition is the following: mapping for LegacyType control ControlType corresponding { EntityField1 = LegacyField1; EntityField2 = LegacyField2; ... } See Using Type and Control Mapping Business Objects.	New	2019-11-06
ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	You can now integrate Additional Save for each entity of a given business object with managed implementation type.

The actual implementation of Additional Save takes place in a local saver class as part of the behavior pool. See Integrating Additional Save in Managed Business Objects.	New	2019-11-06
ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	You can now integrate Unmanaged Save within the transactional life cycle of managed business objects. In order to integrate Unmanaged Save into the save sequence as a part of the managed runtime, you must first add the corresponding syntax (`with unmanaged save`) to the behavior definition and then implement the saver handler method as a part of the behavior pool. See Integrating Unmanaged Save in Managed Business Objects.	New	2019-11-06
ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	Until now, the implementation of business object entity's operations and actions had to be done in the Local Types include of the behavior pool associated with that entity. Since the Local Types include can only be changed by one developer at a time, the efficiency of development would be significantly reduced in case of larger implementations. As a solution, the groups can be now used to divide operations, actions and other implementation-relevant parts of the business logic into several groups for behavior implementation. See Using Groups for Large Implementations.	New	2019-11-06
ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	You can now define elements in CDS projection views that are not persisted on the database. These virtual elements are defined with the new syntax element `virtual`. Their calculation is done in a separate ABAP class, which is called during runtime via an ABAP code exit for virtual elements. See Using Virtual Elements in CDS Projection Views.	New	2019-11-06

ABAP	Enterprise Extensions	ABAP	ABAP RESTful Programming Model	Server-side paging has now been implemented to improve performance for OData calls. If the OData client does not provide paging query options, the default paging restricts the response to 100 data records. If $top is set to values greater than 5000, the response is reduced to 5000 data records. Following from this, unmanaged queries require at least the implementation for paging. If the corresponding methods are not implemented and the unmanaged query does not return the respective information, there will be a dump during runtime. See Implementing an Unmanaged Query.	Changed	2019-08-09
