Mapping-Based Message Packaging

Changed

Mapping-based message packaging is now supported by all receiver adapters that support message packaging (for example, the WS adapter), regardless of whether they run on the Adapter Engine or not.

Security

Changed

A P4 logon to the Enterprise Services Repository and Integration Directory based on the message server is now supported. This logon is required in a high availability environment and you have to make particular entries in the exchange profile.

Security

Changed

In the Adapter Engine (Java SE) you can manage certificates and use them for SSL authentication.

Security

Changed

Security has been enhanced as follows:

• The new dialog user SAP_XI_SUPPORT is available. This provides read access to certain administration pages of the J2EE Engine of the Integration Server. This user is necessary for SAP support employees working with Solution Manager Diagnostics (SMD).

• An RMI/P4 logon to the Integration Repository and Integration Directory based on the message server is now supported. This logon is required in a high availability environment and you have to make particular entries in the exchange profile.

Service Metering

New

Service metering gathers information about a service caller, transfers it to the service provider, and counts on the service provisioning side how many times a service is called and by which service caller.

Service metering is performed for the XI message protocol and the WS message protocol. Service metering is automatically enabled after support package stack installation. By default, only non-sensitive data is transmitted to internal or external service providers in a compatible way.

Service metering can be configured in AS ABAP in transaction SOAMANAGER. Service Metering can be configured in PI in the Integration Engine on sender-side, and in the Integration Directory. Only if the service provider is allowed to receive more detailed information about the service caller, set the metering level to higher than the default.

Software Logistics

Changed

Transports Using the Change and Transport System There are the following enhancements for transporting XI objects using the Change and Transport System (CTS):

• You can now call the Web UI of the Transport Organizer directly in the Integration Builder to create a transport request, or to classify an already existing transport request as a standard request.

• In the Integration Builder transport search, a link to the corresponding transport request in CTS is included in the attributes of a completed export or import.

Software Logistics

New

Transports Using the Change and Transport System You can include the following Objects in one Change and Transport System (CTS) transport request and transport them together:

• Integration / Enterprise Services Repository design objects

• Integration Directory configuration objects

• ABAP Mappings

This also enables you to use some of the advantages of CTS that were previously not supported when transporting SAP NetWeaver XI objects, for example the modeling of complex transport landscapes.

High Availability

New

A new concept is available for setting up a high availability environment for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI). To do this, you need SAP Web Dispatcher for load balancing, and you must reconfigure your HTTP, RFC, and RMI connections so that they can be used for load balancing. You must also make various configuration steps in other components of your PI environment.
