This issue was hard to reproduce since it was happening rarely and randomly. Typically, the issue was most likely to occur if there was only one server connection (i.e., REG_COUNT=1). * Bugfix: destination management runtime Destinations were replaced (shown as REPLACED in trace files) even though the destination configuration did not change. However, critical parameters that warrant a destination replacement were provided by the configuration in a non-normalized manner; for instance, SYSNR="5" (instead of SYSNR="05"). Those were considered modified, as the destination always holds normalized values, whereas the configuration may provide values that were not normalized and hence different. * Bugfix: SAPRouter string handling When trying to establish a connection to an ABAP system, which is configured to use load balancing, the connection shall be established via a SAPRouter, and the saprouter string has a trailing /H/, establishing the connection failed. * Enhancement: Support for saplogon.ini Applications that want to reuse logon parameters maintained in a saplogon.ini file on the current host can do so now. For a complete documentation of the new feature see the API documentation of class SAP.Middleware.Connector.SapLogonIniConfiguration. * Enhancement: new property on IRFCParameter Introduction of property IRfcParameter.DefaultValue. See API documentation for details. * Enhancement: logging The dev_nco_rfc.log file entries were enhanced to contain the process ID so that it's easier to correlate them with the corresponding trace files. * Enhancement: logon procedure Improved logon procedure for languages available in Unicode SAP systems only. Some languages like Armenian, Georgian, Vietnamese, Macedonian and many others are available in Unicode SAP systems only. If logging on with such a language to an SAP ABAP backend system, it was mandatory to specify an additional destination configuration parameter like RfcConfigParameters.Codepage (CODEPAGE) which was indicating a unicode communication type, otherwise such logons failed with an RfcLogonException showing the error message "Select one of the installed languages" although the appropriate language was installed. This logon procedure has been improved so that it does not require any additional communication code page destination property anymore in this case. The unicode communication type is now automatically detected and used for logging on with such new SAP system language keys. Please see note 895560 (https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/895560) for details on languages that are only available in Unicode SAP systems. * Enhancement: DNS caching configuration With the new properties GeneralConfiguration.DNSCacheTTL and GeneralConfiguration.DNSNegativeCacheTTL it is possible to configure the behavior of the DNS caches in NI. See API documentation for details. In addition, the GeneralSettings section in app.config has been extended to support dnsCacheTTL and dnsNegativeCacheTTL. * Enhancement: CPIC tracing Instead of having to set the environment variable CPIC_TRACE for turning on CPIC trace, NCo now offers GeneralConfiguration.CPICTraceLevel. Thus, it is possible to adjust the CPIC trace level at runtime without having to restart the executable. See API documentation for details. In addition, the GeneralSettings section in app.config has been extended to support cpicTraceLevel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Notes 3.0.7 * Bugfix: monitoring RfcDestinationMonitor.GetConnectionsData() always returned an empty list. Now, all RfcConnectionData belonging to the destination are returned in a list. * Bugfix: repository - dynamic metadata lookup When using RFC_METADATA_GET for roundtrip optimization, the metadata might be faulty (e.g., character fields had the wrong length). This happened exclusively in connection with parameter metadata in the case when the type of the parameter was a predefined type (defined through a predefined field of a structure). * Bugfix: connection management Peak connection limit was exceeded although the number of active connections did not exceed that limit. This happened after communication failures (RfcCommunicationException), because those connections were not removed from the list of active connections. Eventually, that list is clogged up with invalid connections. * Bugfix: communication runtime When not configuring the language in a destination, English was used instead of the default language as configured for the corresponding user in the backend. In case there is no language provided through the configuration, the NCo runtime internally added English as configured value for the language, which was not correct. * Bugfix: communication runtime An ArgumentOutOfRangeException with the message "Length cannot be less than zero" was thrown when invoking a function module a function module that is implemented on top of VM container, i.e. a function module implemented in Java, e.g. CFG_API_CREATE_CONFIG. The call stack of the exception was similar to the one below Parameter name: length at System.String.InternalSubStringWithChecks(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length, Boolean fAlwaysCopy) at SAP.Middleware.Connector.RfcConnection.ReadRfcCDestination(Int32 length) at SAP.Middlew
