What's New in Release 4.6A?

Using a local repository database is simpler.

Local repository file type is now .sdb.

The R/3 Logon dialog (invoked when you log online) allows you to define new destination systems, which you can then use to log on. It also allows you to change or delete existing destination definitions.

Table Browser feature allows you to view the metadata of an R/3 table or structure.

Context menu (menu you invoke with the right-mouse-button) is available at all three tabs of the BAPI/RFC detail pane. The context menu provides a shortcut to the most commonly used actions on the object you are viewing.

The filter that is used when you are in RFC functions or function groups view is displayed at the top of the hierarchy at the RFC tab.

You can mark items for code generation from the search tab too.

You can save data into a local repository from any tab in the BAPI/RFC detail pane, including the search tab.

You can run an RFC from any of the tabs in the BAPI/RFC detail pane, including the search tab.

(It is possible to run the underlying RFC for a BAPI directly from the BAPI tab at the BAPI/RFC detail pane.)

String specification for searching business objects is not case sensitive and it allows using wild cards.

When running an RFC function, specifying import parameters and looking at the resulting export parameters is done at the same dialog.

You can run an RFC from a local database (repository). SAP Assistant will log on to the R/3 system to actually run the function.

A Trace option allows you to save log of errors occurring when running SAP Assistant.

The BAPI Wizard can now generate code for HP UNIX.
