BOARDConnector 6.0.0

BOARDConnector 6.0.0

Breaking changes

  • Web API
  • /log/req_type=all has been removed
    • To fetch the full logs for an extraction the prefered workflow is:
    • Get the timestamp for the extraction from the xu.exe output or the header of the HTTP response.
    • Request the run log for the extraction with log/req_type=extraction&name=extractionname&timestamp=extractionTimestamp
    • If that does not hold the desired information:
      • There now is a 'WebLog' column when listing the extractions runs with log/req_type=extraction&name=extractionname
      • Use this timestamp to request the corresponding server log for the extraction with log/req_type=server&timestamp=serverTimestamp
  • /log/req_type=server now yields the worker instead of listener log
  • /metadata?name=extractionName has been removed
  • /parameters?name=extractionName has been removed
  • /clearResultCache has been removed
    • use 'ignoreCache' to make sure an extraction loads new data, this will not create a cache entry.
  • Behavior
  • ResultCache: default maximum age of a cache entry increased to 60 minutes.

We aim to provide a more consistent and useful Web API as part of upcoming releases.

Deprecations

  • The 'clearBuffer' parameter for extraction requests was renamed to 'ignoreCache' and does just that instead of purging the whole cache
  • 'clearBuffer' will be removed in a future release

Other

  • Web server, result cache and the engine which runs the extractions (runtime) were rewritten.
  • When running extractions the web server now responds with an HTTP error code and an error message instead of a 200 without any data or information if the SAP system yielded an error or preparing the destination failed.
  • Web server authentication: HTTPS + Designer Read access is now the same as HTTPS + Anonymous if Designer access is not restricted
  • Before one had to supply (any) Basic credentials but they were not checked.
  • Support for /THEO/READ_TABLE function module
  • DeltaQ UI fixes
