Some clear alterations have been made to JCo API using SAP JCo Standalone Version 3.0.
To ensure that SAP JCo continues to function correctly, you will need to make some changes to the coding when switching from an older JCo version (2.x) to JCo 3.0.
Below you will find the necessary information about the type of changes that have been made and actions required for the migration.
Modifications are possibly required in the following areas:
General Changes
Connection Management
Exception Handling
Metadata Model
Server Adaptations
The scope of the changes to be made depends largely on the application scenario used. There are basically three possible scenarios:
Client Scenarios
You application communicates as a client with an ABAP server.
You application has static metadata or metadata-relevant APIs.
Server Scenarios
Your application was developed on a Java application server and executes server functions, that is it processes ABAP server calls.
You also have to make some general changes in the coding independent from the application scenario.
