DXP21.10.0021 Changelog

In the ABAP logon screen, the "Show Password" text was read from the database and therefore not shown on the logon screen.

You can now overwrite dedicated launchpad logon language using the sap-language URL parameter.

If open applications are pinned to the launchpad header and too many applications were opened, the launchpad would crash in an endless loop.

When loading a launchpad, PWA, or mobile client, 15+ models are loaded from cache. The cache counter was not isolated to only increase when getting cache from the update function. In one case this resulted in multiple calls to the ABAP backend GET_MENU_LIST method. Now the model cache is read and one dedicated callback will handle the update.

When using a PWA enabled Launchpad and an external alias the dynamic tile data was failing. This is now resolved.

Entering a username longer than the allowed 12 characters would cause a dump in the initial ABAP logon screen.

The patch number of the displayed UI5 version in "User settings" - "System" could be misleading. Previously the Open UI5 version was reflected instead of the SAPUI5 distribution version, and for certain patch versions this would show a lower patch number. This also applies to mobile clients, which will need a rebuild to get this fix.

It is no longer necessary to "Pretty print" the source code in the debugger to place breakpoints on correct line numbers. This also applies to mobile clients, which will need a rebuild to get this fix.

The launchpad pincode screen can now be controlled by the keyboard.

Running apps in a launchpad splitview would crop the applications on smaller screens, if the applications were using a Shell object.

Many of the mobile client settings can be changed after the mobile client has been built. These changes were not always adopted by the mobile client.

Cordova Android engine 12 can be selected in the dropdown in the Cockpit ("Mobile client" - "Device" - "Preferences")

As we have seen examples of automated polling requests (for updating tile info etc) interfering with the re-authentication process, the scope of AppCacheLogonOKTA has been made public, to enable checking the status of inRelog before performing ajax requests from custom apps.

When a user performs an action in a mobile client but no longer has an active session cookie, this would previously trigger a re-authentication with pin code and the user would no longer have the app(s) opened where the action was performed. Now the re-authentication takes place in the background while the user stays on the same screen, and after the re-authentication is in place, the user gets informed that re-authentication has taken place and the last action must be repeated (for instance a sync with the backend).

The list of library plugins that can be selected in the Cockpit has been updated (SQLite plugin, Barcode scanner, NFC plugin).

When you were opening the Open API Specification for an API Factory Class the Server URL inside of it was always constructed with the http scheme. This now is changed to consider the scheme that the current request is made from.

Support for GIF files has been added to the media library.

When unlocking (pin code) a PWA enabled launchpad or a Mobile Client and you are offline the afterUnlock Enhancement has not been called. This is now resolved. The ajax call to fetch changes to tilegroups, tiles and apps is now skipped during offline re-authentication. In certain vpn scenarios this call could result in a long timeout.

the second time entering the app designer in an extension app, the Import button for translations would be deactivated. This has now been fixed.

Small improvement to the extension framework to prevent duplication of code when enhancing an already existing object in the base application.

When using VizFrame properties in one app and an extension was created, this component was not loaded correctly into the extension app. This was now been fixed.

Texts longer than 100 characters were being truncated at 100 characters. Now the full text (up to 255 characters) will be exported.

Corrected a bug that prevented the commenting/uncommenting of code in scripts, when an app would be activated immediately after pressing the button to comment/uncomment. The code would not retain the change.

When creating a new app, the default theme (which is SAP Quartz in DXP 21) is now set automatically.

If you are searching special string combinations in the Neptune Web App Designer eg JSON.parse(JSON.stringify( there would be a syntax error about an Invalid Regular expression and the search would not work. This is now resolved.

Compatibility corrections for supporting both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge as browser control in SAP GUI for the Neptune App Designer.

When you were using a collective search help in the neptune.ValueHelp Field and clicked on the same elementary search help that you already have selected the search help would get empty.

In some search helps, the demandPopin property would be set to true on all columns. On small screens all the columns would popin making the select box render incorrectly.

In the program /NEPTUNE/DELETE_LOG_ENTRIES there were missing parameters referring to the API Logs.

The check for icf subnnodes of /neptune/ has been improved.

Since SAP version S/4 HANA 2021 the message returned when an object is locked has been changed to contain two variables. For these newer SAP versions, the message will now show the key of the locked object in addition to whom the object is locked by.

An error would be written to the console if the CompareWithArray function was called with a non-existing key.

When specifying SAP SICF Node in an Neptune DXP - Open Edition tile configuration, the ajax calls of the Neptune DXP - SAP Edition were routed through the standard /native/ node instead of the specified node.
