    Take over processing not working correctly

    Fixed an issue in umbrella systems whereby if the user confirmed takeover in the “Continue processing” popup, the change of processor was not stored on the database, with the result that further actions by the user resulted in the popup being displayed again. This problem only occurred when using non-trusted RFCs. (RSPDN4140)
    [Import Guide]Note that if you upgrade an umbrella system to PROCESS DIRECTOR 7.4, you should either upgrade the remote systems to 7.4 or install the latest service packs of previous versions. If this is not possible, RSPDN4140 should be implemented on the remote systems.
    In PROCESS DIRECTOR 7.4, the order of events was changed for the CHECK and POST actions. If you have customized actions or action chains involving CHECK and POST, you should check after upgrading whether the customized functionality still works correctly. The Check and Post actions have been disabled in the Web Application document list, due to problems when processing multiple documents; Check and Post are now only possible from the document detail view. In the SAP GUI, it is now only possible to Check and Post for single documents in the document list.

    Umbrella

    Take over processing not working correctly

    Fixed an issue in umbrella systems whereby if the user confirmed takeover in the “Continue processing” popup, the change of processor was not stored on the database, with the result that further actions by the user resulted in the popup being displayed again. This problem only occurred when using non-trusted RFCs. (RSPDN4140)
    [Import Guide]Note that if you upgrade an umbrella system to PROCESS DIRECTOR 7.4, you should either upgrade the remote systems to 7.4 or install the latest service packs of previous versions. If this is not possible, RSPDN4140 should be implemented on the remote systems.
