Support for replacement of CRLF character in “Replace all occurrences” mapping conversion
The mapping function “Replace all occurrences of parameter A with B” (/EBY/PDBO_MAF_REPLACE) has been extended to allow replacement of the new line character (CRLF) when a long text is transferred to a text field. To replace this character, enter the string “CRLF” in the first “Text” field in the mapping conversion parameters.
Customer include to allow addition of long strings in file upload
The customer include CI_EBY_UPLOAD_FIELDS was added to the structure /EBY/_SUPLOAD_FIELDS to allow the addition of strings when uploading data from external files. /EBY/_SUPLOAD_FIELDS offers 52 field values each with 100 characters. By adding long CHAR fields starting with FIELD53 to the customer include, for example, of type TEXT8192, it is possible to transfer long strings for long texts, notes or attachment data.
Process Director is fully compliant with S/4HANA On-Premise 2020.
Improved performance for message exception handling
The configured settings for message exception handling are now buffered to improve performance.
Consistent order of fields in customer master maintenance popup
The fields in the popup that appears when creating a new customer master maintenance request now appear in the same order in the SAP GUI and the Web Application.
