E2E Developer News 2015 | 03

[E2E]

A new maintenance release of the E2E Bridge has been released. With this edition of our E2E Developer Newsletter we inform you about the latest features and bug fixes of the E2E Bridge software components. As usual, you find all details in our release notes that are provided in our Online Documentation.

With this release, we officially announce support for SAP NetWeaver libraries. In 2009, SAP started to replace its SAP client library librfc32u.dll by a new, re-factored one: sapnwrfc.dll (SAP NetWeaver, SAPNW). Now, SAP has decommitted the old library, so the SAP Adapter of the E2E Bridge had to be changed to use the new library.

• Starting with this Bridge release, the E2E Bridge is shipped with the new SAPNW package installed.

  Currently, we will provide both packages with each xUML Runtime version: SAP and SAPNW.

  As of March, 2016, SAP will not support the old library anymore. From then on, we also will not provide the old SAP package anymore.

• Starting with this Builder Release, the E2E Builder is shipped with the new SAPNW package as part of the embedded xUML Runtime.

For more information, in particular for information on whether or how you are concerned by this change and what to do in this case, please refer to our online documentation: Migrating SAP Services to SAP NetWeaver.
