[DevOps, CPI] Added a possibility to configure transport configuration for particular released version of CPI IFlow.

[DevOps, CPI] Added a possibility to configure not approved/imported landscape items, transport configuration now becomes immutable only for the landscape item which has been approved.

[FIX, DevOps, CPI] Fixed a bug when the latest state of CPI object was taken as a source during transport instead of specified version in transport. For example: let’s have a landscape dev → qa → prod and Iflow_x (v1) has been transported to qa. Then if user update object on qa manually, further transport to prod can use that updated version instead of the state Iflow_x (v1). Now Figaf Tool always take persisted specified version of the object. Also, we decided to block transport of the state X from system A to system B when the state X doesn’t exist anymore on system A. Use additional virtual landscape items to persist intermediate state if you want to update the state of object on system A quite often, for example A → A' → B.

[FIX, CPI] Fixed a bug when object name of CPI object was shown as hash on License page and it wasn’t possible to modify (request additional license options) that object license item. It affected CPI objects which have different displayed and technical names. Process synchronization with the license server from License tab to migrate affected entries.

[Testing Tool] Added a possibility to configure test parameters per test case on Shared configuration page.

[Testing Tool, CPI] Added two options Run steps selection strategy and Run steps filter to select steps which should be recorded/tested.

[Testing Tool] Added a possibility to extract message groups related to chosen results/test runs as new test case(s) from the test run/test suite run pages. Optionally it’s possible to link new test case(s) with the new/existent test suite. It provides a possibility to isolate problematic messages and test them separately without processing of the whole original test case/test suite all time.

[Testing Tool] Added statistics of scheduled/active messages sending/comparisons/report generations for test runs.

[Testing Tool] Added CSV export of Testing tool data with the applied filter for Test Cases, Test Runs, Test Run Results, Test Suites, Test Suite runs.

[Testing Tool] Added support of ignoring options for XML comparison.

[Testing Tool] Updated rerun function in the test suite run. Now it’s possible to select and rerun many test runs at once.

[Testing Tool] Added possibility to resend NOT_SENT messages from test run/test suite run pages.

[FIX, DevOps, Git Integration] Deleted package/object now are also deleted from settings-irt.gradle or settings.gradle.

[Change Management, Git integration, CPI] Added 2 options on Agent to update build.gradle and/or settings.gradle automatically during synchronization.

[FIX, Testing Tool, PRO] Fixed cancellation of EOIO messages. Also added support for cases when sender channel has quality of service EO but outbound message is EOIO.

[Testing Tool] Consolidated report generation from selected Test Suite Runs. The function is available on the Test Suite Runs page.

[Testing Tool] Test cases migration from PI scenario to CPI iflow. See more details here.

[Testing Tool, UI] Separate page for Test Suite Run. Navigation is available from Test Suite Runs page, Test Suite page (Results History tab), Test Run Details page

[FIX, Testing Tool, PRO] Fixed a bug when messages received through JMS due to PI redelivery were not filtered.

[FIX, Testing Tool] Fixed X12 message determination for some combinations of segment and element separators.

[FIX, Testing Tool] Fixed EDIFACT/X12 segment comparison for cases when one document has empty segment like PCI' and another document has segment with empty data element like PCI+'.

[Change Management, CPI] Added an option to synchronize only objects from selected packages.

[FIX, Operations, Monitoring, CPI] Fixed the max length of condition parameter.

[FIX, Operations, Monitoring] Fixed usage of emailTo parameter from application settings instead of email integration entry during alert notification.

[DevOps, CPI] Changed the behavior of transport flow for CPI objects. Previously, during each import it always took the state of an object from the first system in the landscape. Now it takes the state of the previously transported object. So, having the landscape DEV → QA → PROD, import from QA to PROD will take an object state from QA instead of the DEV. Transport configuration will be applied as usual.

[DevOps, CPI] Review is configurable now for each landscape item separately instead of the global config.

[DevOps, CPI] Only transport reviewers are able to process import on the target system. It has an effect only when the review is configured.

[DevOps, CPI] Added an option on landscape item to deploy artifacts after transport. By default deployment is disabled.

[FIX, DevOps, CPI] Fixed a bug when it wasn’t possible to process import if transport contains object versions which already exist on target system. Now transport of these objects is skipped, after that transport items are linked with already existent versions in CTT.

[Common, UI] Now it’s easier to get started with tool. Both login with the default user, guides to get started with adding license and agents. Updated tours to see the tool in action.

[Testing Tool] Improved EDIFACT comparison and ignoring of specific segments/fields.

[Testing Tool, PRO] Added a possibility to test aggregation scenarios. For now only integration through SAP Log Module is available. Test cases must be loaded manually.

[Testing Tool] Added an option on Agent to control a max amount of test messages to be sent to Agent system per defined interval (configured as cron expression).

[Testing Tool, PRO] Added an option to test on decentral adapter engine.

[Testing Tool, PRO] Added a possibility to test BE scenarios with mock data on PRO systems.

[Testing Tool, PRO] Support of sender agreements with EDI separator and fix of testing with sender modules in case of EDI separator flow.

[DevOps,PRO] Implemented transport of Sender/Receiver agreement.

[Change Management, Agent Synchronization, PRO] Added change tracking of receiver determination and interface determination objects (dualstack).

[Change Management, Agent Synchronization, PRO] Improved synchronization algorithm to handle large data set from SimpleQuery.

[Change Management, Agent Synchronization, PRO] Synchronization of external messages and operations is processed during the synchronization of external definitions and service interfaces. It speeds up the process, because external messages and operations are inner objects.

[Common] Added configuration to support Java 11 runtime. See that section to learn more.

[UI] UI5 libraries now are embedded within the Web application (as dependencies), now there is no requirement for having access to cloud distribution of OpenUI5.

[CTT] Added a new option on PRO Agent for synchronizing SAP ESR objects on demand. Use it if SimpleQuery can’t load metadata for all objects of any ESR type (in most cases Data Type) or if you don’t want to synchronize such objects at all.

[DevOps] Information about last ticket run is added on the ticket page (see Last Testing Result tab)

Some minor fixes and improvements

[Common] Added alternative way for requesting object licenses when Java doesn’t have access to network. It’s enough to have access to https://app.figaf.com/irt-lic/#/ in the browser. You just need to copy provided request in Figaf Tool and use it on license server UI.

Some minor fixes and improvements on UI.

[Common] Improved UI for requesting object licenses.

[FIX, DevOps] Fixed a bug when some ESR objects on target system were not linked with the ticket after transport (transport finished successfully).

[FIX, Security] Email check during authorization now is case insensitive.

[FIX, UI] Fixed a bug when landscapes were not loaded on the Create ticket dialog on the tickets page.

[Common] Added possibility to request missing object licenses from license error dialog.

[FIX, DevOps] Fixed a bug when transports created for several tickets at the same time were not linked with each other

[FIX,DevOps, PRO] Fixed a bug when all business component’s channels were attached to the ticket during dependent objects attachment. As a result, ticket has too many attached channels instead of used by chosen scenario. Now it doesn’t take channels for components/systems or components/systems for parties during dependent object lookup.

Some minor fixes and improvements on UI.

[DevOps] New development and transport workflow. See that section to learn more.

[DevOps] New migration workflow which simplifies e2e migration between 2 landscapes. Write to [email protected] to get a demo or support with configuration.

[Common] Licensing model has been changed to fit requirements of the new functionality. If you already have an Figaf Tool with old license, see notes for upgrade to 2.11 below.

[Testing Tool, UI] New generic Test Suite Runs page under Testing Tool section.

[FIX] Fixed alerts cleaner task.

[FIX,PRO] Fixed a bug where communication channel update failed due to wrongly decoded characters.

[FIX, CPI] Fixed propagation of original vendor and description during transport of integration flow.

[FIX, CPI] Fixed determination of start event during test object creation. If integration flow had a local subprocess or exception subprocess, test object wasn’t not created properly. Current limitation - integration flows with several sender endpoints won’t be tested correctly, support of current case is scheduled for future releases.

[FIX, CPI] Fixed a bug related to generated common testing classes for groovy scripts unit testing, where common tests failed when script doesn’t use messageLogFactory (added lenient = true to the mock).

[FIX, PRO] Fixed a behavior of option Don’t send message after testing for BE scenarios. Now Agent Component throws an exception after 2nd stage (After Mapping) and Testing Result for 4th stage (After Result Mapping) is not registered in the test run at all, so, it won’t be compared.

[FIX] Fixed missing default value for run_with_mock_data field for existent Test Suites (reproduced on MS SQL Server). Affected in 2.9.

[DevOps, Testing Tool, CPI] Added messageLogFactory and messageLog mock objects to common module for unit testing of groovy scripts.

[Testing Tool, PRO] Added support for Sender and Receiver agreements (Java stack) in the manual test case creation.

[Testing Tool, UI] New generic Test Cases page under Testing Tool section.

[FIX,Change Management, Agent Synchronization, PRO] Fixed missing link to business systems for communication channels.

[DevOps, Testing Tool, CPI] Added a function for generating test data and unit tests for groovy scripts, defined in the integration flow. You can learn more here.

[Operations, Monitoring] Added a Test function for rule external integrations (email and https).

[Operations, Monitoring, UI] Improved Rules and Alerts UI.

[Testing Tool, PRO] Added possibility to create test case manually using only UI form (it’s an alternative approach).

[Testing Tool, CPI] Added possibility to run test cases and test suites on virtual landscape systems.

[FIX] Fixed a bug when only default support rule was linked with new alerts (affected in 2.10).

[FIX, Testing Tool] Fixed a bug where Test Suite excel reports were not sent to specified email correctly.

[Change Management] Git integration for CPI and Api Management Agents. See that section to learn more.

[Operations, Monitoring] Possibility to send alert attachments through email or webhooks integration.

[Testing Tool] Possibility to mark Agent system as a Production system. It prevents testing on chosen Agent system.

[FIX, Operations, Transport] Fixed a bug when post synchronization failed if only ESR objects are transported.

[FIX, Testing] Fixed a bug when test suites couldn’t be run by a scheduled job.

[Change Management] Added implementation of CPI shared resources (scripts, mappings, schemas, archives). There are many places where it makes sense to have scripts that are being used in multiple iflows. But if you want to make a change to the script you will end up with separate versions. It can be a pain to maintain it and also test it. We have added an option to take a script and turn it into a shared resource. You can then add this shared script to your iflows. If you make a modification to it the new version can easily be applied to all iflows where it is used. It will also allow you to test the change in all your iflows. You can learn more about new feature here.

[Testing] Added possibility to test CPI iflows with mock data. Over the last year, we have improved the way we make it possible to test your CPI iflows. Now we have added a new option to test with a mock service hosted by the Figaf Tool application. Figaf Tool will then make a copy of the iflow you want to test. All Request Reply connections will be replaced with a call to the Figaf Tool mock data service that will respond with what needed changes in headers and payload. It means that it will be a lot easier to run a test for scripts or configurations that have been changed. If you own to use Figaf Tool hosted on your own environment you will need to specify cloud connector information to access Figaf Tool. Learn more here.

[Operations, Transport] Added a warning if a secure resource like password or certificate is are not available on the target instance. In Figaf Tool you can configure which password/certificate properties you want across the landscape. So when you transport across the landscape you will see if the values are there.

[Operations, Transport, Testing] Added improvement to the virtual SAP CPI landscape, so you can run Dev and QA on the same system. That way you can save a CPI system. Figaf now supports the Process Direct adapter in virtual environment, so you also will be able to test that functionality.

[UI] Testing Templates have been renamed to Testing Suites, because it is a more standard name for grouping a set of test cases.

[FIX, Testing] Fixed a bug when test case report generation was processing infinitely if any test run result doesn’t have a link to inbound message. Current state in general is unexpected.

[FIX, Common] Fixed a bug when it wasn’t possible to delete CPI Agent if at least one metric has been registered by SAP System Monitoring.

[FIX, Transport] Fixed a bug when it wasn’t possible to define P4 host for PRO Agent if Agent Component integration type is not used.

[Operations, Transport] Added support for PRO transports (file and CTS), added possibility to configure channels during transport. You can learn more about new feature here.

[Change Management] Added documentation of Figaf Tool tickets. This is an excel report which contains common ticket metadata, attached object versions, related integration objects, result of the latest ticket run and information about processed transports.

[Change Management] Added documentation of CPI Integration Flows.

[Operations, Monitoring] Added alerting for CPI Tenants status monitoring events.

[Operations, Monitoring] Added possibility to mute identical alerts for defined period of time.

[Operations, Monitoring] Added a scheduled task for alerts deletion. User can configure it on Application Configuration page. By default, alerts are stored for 90 days.

[UI] Home page has been changed. Now in addition to the menu tiles it contains a list of configured landscapes with most used links per each Agent system in the landscape. You can find more information here.

[FIX, Testing] Fixed null pointer exception during checking of MigrationHelper scenario (PRO, affected in 2.7.1)

[FIX, Change Management] Fixed missing updates during PRO synchronization due to wrong time zones used in SimpleQuery. Correct Agent system timezone must be configured manually on Agent dialog. Default value is GMT.

[FIX, Testing] Link to folder now is not lost after channel update

[Change Management,Operations, Transport, Monitoring] Added support of API Management agents, added change management, monitoring and transport for API Proxies with their related resources (policies, endpoints, etc.). You can learn more about API Proxy change management and transport here, about monitoring of API Proxies - here.

[Operations, Monitoring] CPI Tenants status monitoring. It includes several metrics such as CPU/Memory usage, iflow latency, processed messages. You can learn more about that new feature here.

[Operations, Monitoring] Runtime Message Monitor for CPI Agents, in addition to the possibility to define flexible filters, it allows you to configure role-based access to these filters and decide which Figaf Tool user can access to exact filter and what kind of access: browsing messages metadata only or with attachments as well. You can learn more about it here.

[Operations, Monitoring] New alerting engine in Figaf Tool. We improved its performance and throughput, made alert metadata structured, improved determination of Tracked Objects and Integration Objects (depending on alert type and system type). Since an alert is a temporary entity and doesn’t require long storage, we decided to clear them all during automated database migration because it’s not possible to correctly migrate old alerts (and actually, it doesn’t make sense). In the future releases we are going to improve post processing actions for alerts and provide a flexible strategies for notification and reprocessing (when it’s actual).

[Change Management] Test Cases coverage for PRO Agents. We improved operation mapping usage report and added additional information about actual test cases coverage and usage statistics for communication channels. You can learn more about new feature here.

[Testing] Integration with new Process Integration Testing tool, provided by SAP in SP14. For now it’s possible to create PIT test case from testing template run in Figaf Tool. You can learn more about it here.

[Testing] Added native support for regression testing of IFlows with Process Direct sender for CPI Agents. It uses special infrastructure IFlow with HTTPS sender and Process Direct receiver instead of copying full source IFlow and replacing its sender side by HTTPS sender (old approach). For now that infrastructure IFlow should be configured manually.

[Migration from Figaf Tool 1.4.*/1.5.*] Improved migration functionality, fixed some bugs

[FIX, Security] Custom roles check during authorization

[Security] Custom API-key authentication approach has been replaced by OAuth 2.0.

[Operations, Transport] Transport functionality for Integration Flows on CPI Agents. Possibility to define custom IFlow configuration which is applied during transport.

[Operations, Monitoring] Reprocessing of CPI alerts. You need to add our script to the IFlow at the specific places, that script saves needed header properties and the payload of the message. Then it is possible to reprocess an alert and resend failed message again to the origin endpoint.

[Operations, Monitoring] Improved performance of alerts handling.

[Operations, Monitoring] Possibility to trigger alerts lookup for chosen consumer manually.

[Change Management] Possibility to build and download documentation of Integrated Configurations (PRO systems).

[FIX, Change Management] Restoring of previously deleted tracked objects. When some object is deleted on SAP system, it’s marked as deleted in Figaf Tool. Then if you create a new object with the same name again, it will be added as a new version in Figaf Tool after synchronization with a link to the previous version, so, the history of your changes won’t be lost.
