The REST tunnel is an ICF service that serves as an ABAP proxy in the back-end system. It realizes the SSO connection to external service providers such as SAP Jam and thus helps to solve cross-domain problems when addressing such providers from browser clients.
SAP Fiori applications use the REST tunnel instead of establishing their own OData services in the back-end system, if the only purpose of such an OData service would be to address an OData or REST endpoint of the service provider. From the application's perspective, the tunnel is called instead of calling SAP Jam directly.
For more information, see Configuring REST Tunnel.
Token-based protection against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is available and enabled by default for ABAP Social Media Integration.
For more information, see Network and Communication Security.
A new Social Media Integration (SMI) OData service (SM_INTEGRATION_V2_SRV) is now available. This service replaces service SM_INTEGRATION_SRV and is required to retrieve the collaboration host URL and external mapping data so that the REST tunnel can be used for the Share and Discuss features.
For more information, see the SAP Jam Integration Guide on SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/sapjam. Under Developer Information, open the Developer's Guide and choose OData API.
You can use report RCLB2_CUST_MIGRATE to conveniently migrate your Social Media ABAP Integration Library (SAIL) configuration data to the relevant ABAP SMI Customizing tables.
For more information, see Migration of SAIL Configuration Data.
A set of new Customizing activities is available in Customizing for SAP NetWeaver under to configure the optional Sending Notifications scenario.
For more information, see Sending Notifications to SAP Jam.
The formatting of the Notification tile has been updated. The formatting now comes from SAP Fiori so that the look and feel of the Notification tile is standardized with SAP Fiori launchpad tiles.
Support for using a background file upload from the SAP Gateway server to SAP Jam is now available. This is used for sharing attachments in SAP Jam.
