INSTALLATION NOTES FOR Stewardship Tier 7.4.8 AND LATER
The SAP transports for Stewardship Tier installations are now split into 2 packages and are documented separately.
-
Core—contains the functions and programs required by Stewardship Tier to extract data via RFC and load via BDC. These transports are distributed with the Stewardship Tier installation in versions 7.4.8 and later.
-
Supplementary—miscellaneous functions, programs, and utilities for supporting SAP-based projects. Contact Syniti Support and raise a support ticket to get this transport.
The code in the Core transports has been modernized to adhere to latest ABAP coding standards. Both the Core and Supplementary transports are compatible with SAP installations of EHP 7 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 [SAP_APPL 617] (based on SAP NETWEAVER 740 [SAP_BASIS 740]) or higher.
NOTE: Customers using older versions of SAP can contact Syniti Support who will assist in locating versions of the required programs and functions that are compatible with their SAP Instance.
Refer to Support Article SAP Transports for 7.4.8 and Above for SAP Transports available when running version 7.4.8.
IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES
NOTE: SQL 2022 no longer supports SQL Server Native Client. If using any data connections that rely on this Data Provider, you must switch to a new provider, such as MSOLESQLDB. Refer to SQL Server Native Client for more information.
NOTE: If psaCollate is installed on the instance you are upgrading, you must uninstall it before upgrading to this version. The collation technology is included in the product in 7.4.5 and later. To uninstall psaCollate refer to the Knowledge Base article psaCollate Incompatible with SST 7.4.5+.
NOTE: When upgrading to Stewardship Tier 7.4.5 AND LATER, data sources are automatically assigned with the Collation Type of General Latin Case-insensitive. This ensures that the ADM AutoGen continues to create SQL tables whose text columns have a case-insensitive collation.
NOTE: When upgrading to Stewardship Tier 8.0.5 AND LATER, open a support ticket with Syniti Support to request a new license in order to use Remediate, which is part of Master Data Management.
NOTE: When upgrading to Stewardship Tier 8.0.8 AND LATER, if you have a custom plug-in that is using the Messaging functionality in the framework with parameterized messages, ensure your parameters are integer values starting at o (e.g. {0}, {1}, {2}) and the number of arguments passed matches the number of parameters.
NOTE: A new, critical step has been added to the Post Upgrade section of the Installation process. After an upgrade to Stewardship Tier, users must re-create their BAPI templates. Failing to do so will cause the posting of a BAPI template to fail. Refer to
NOTE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM 7.0.6 OR BELOW: You may need to migrate your security settings to use centralized security. Users of
NOTE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING TO 7.4.2 OR HIGHER: Please be aware that any JavaScript content added is stripped away and any remaining, safe HTML is displayed to users. In Stewardship Tier versions 7.4.1 and earlier, users were permitted to enter HTML and have it rendered in the UI or included in file downloads from the UI. There were no restrictions in place on what HTML/JavaScript text was permitted, leading to potentially dangerous cross-site scripting attacks. Refer to the Knowledge base article Unsafe HTML/JavaScript removed in Stewardship Tier 7.4.2 for more information.
WARNING: Customizations made to any component of the delivered Syniti Solutions will be overwritten in the next upgrade. To preserve customizations, make a copy of the customizations prior to applying any upgrade.
A customization is a change to the underlying source code, which differs from configuration – normal setup of the software, such as setting up workflows and defining parameters via the configuration pages.
WARNING: In Mass Maintenance, the External Request Scenarios and the External Data Processing with an External Data Role functionalities are no longer supported and will be deprecated in a future release. Both of these features utilize External Data Email Account which is currently dependent on Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.0. This version of TLS is being disabled across major platforms, including AWS, Windows and Google, and mail servers are now requiring TLS 1.2 and above.
Since Mass Maintenance is no longer available to new Customers, and these two functionalities are not widely used by existing customers, per our Delivery stakeholders, we have opted to deprecate these functionalities rather than invest in the resources required to upgrade the email retrieval component that would require TLS 1.2 or above.
Enhancements
Security and Code Quality Improvements
Syniti Stewardship Tier 8.0.8 includes security fixes and code quality enhancements that affect file path handling for DataSources and dynamic file paths used in file upload and download controls.
What's Changed:
-
Enhanced security for file path validation
-
Updated handling of UNC paths in DataSources
-
Improved file upload and download control security
Post-Upgrade Verification: After upgrading to 8.0.8, confirm that file paths registered in DataSources are working properly. If you previously used a UNC path in a File DataSource, switch the DataSource type from File to Remote UNC. Contact Syniti Support if you encounter issues with file path functionality.
Custom Plugin Messaging Parameter Validation
The messaging functionality in the framework now enforces stricter parameter validation for custom plugins using parameterized messages.
Who This Affects: Users with custom plugins that utilize framework messaging functionality.
Required Changes: Ensure message parameters use integer values starting at 0 (for example, {0}, {1}, {2}) and that the number of arguments passed matches the number of parameters defined.
Chart Library Upgrade
The charting library has been upgraded to improve performance and functionality. Some chart elements may render differently with the new library.
Recommended Actions: Review existing charts to evaluate charting object priorities. Multicolumn or multiline charts may display with different layering orders or element locations.
SSL Configuration for Fresh Installations
Audience: IT Administrators performing fresh installations
During fresh installations, the system requires SSL configuration adjustments before direct login is possible.
Installation Guidance: If you have not configured IIS with SSL Certificates and enabled Secure Connections during a fresh install, edit the web.config file and remove or set to false the requireSSL attribute in the httpCookies section: requireSSL="true"
Updated instructions are included in the Installation Manual.
SAP HANA 2023 Support
Syniti Stewardship Tier now supports SAP HANA 2023 (S/4HANA 2309). This update ensures compatibility with the latest HANA environment, including BAPIs and RFC extracts.
What's New: Enhanced integration capabilities with SAP HANA 2023, providing continued support for modern SAP environments.
Data Services, Information Steward, and Information Platform Server Compatibility
Updated compatibility with the latest Data Services, Information Steward, and Information Platform Server versions, ensuring optimal performance and stability for data integration operations.
Resolved Issues
Master Data Management
-
Fixed an issue where the download feature on the Request Role page failed to generate downloads after selecting a download type. The issue was caused by an Order By statement that sorted by Role Description, a field not available in the Horizontal view. [SST-433]
-
Fixed an auditing issue where changes were not reflected in the aggregate table due to misalignment between the ReviewRoleAuditTable LastAuditID value and the maximum boaAuditID valude in Audit tables. The issue occurred when a request existed in the content WebApp Request table but no longer existed in DGE, causing a "Sequence contains no elements table will be skipped" error. [SST-407]
