Introduction

K2 connect 4.7.1 allows for a clean install or upgrade from a previous version of the product.

 

Download

The K2 connect installation package can be downloaded from the download’s page available on the K2 Partner and Customer Portal site. See the Installation details below for more information.

Enhancement

Added logging for destinations. When adding or modifying destinations in K2 connect you can set the LOGENABLED and LOGPATH fields. When enabled, tracing is activated and files are generated in the specified directory. Full RFC traces are generated.

Bug Fixes

  • Currency and Decimal fields were not transferred correctly to and from SAP.
  • K2 connect version 4.7 Test Cockpit threw an "Input String was not in a correct format" error.
  • An error occurred when generating SmartObjects stating 'Service with name "" not found'.
  • SmartObjects did not handle null-termination characters in string types returned from SAP.

Important Considerations and behavioral changes

  1. From K2 connect 4.6.11 (4.10060.870.0) onwards the SAP NetWeaver RFC libraries are required. The new dlls are not redistributable from SourceCode Technology Holdings, Inc and must be obtained from services.sap.com. Once downloaded the new NetWeaver RFC libraries must be copied to the respective system folders. The zip files for each architecture (64 and 32 bit) will contain four files. All four files need to be copied.
    The 32bit files go to c:WindowsSysWOW64
    The 64bit files go to c:WindowsSystem32
  2. In K2 connect 4.6.10 or later the installer includes the required ERPConnect dlls. For new installations, it will no longer be required to install ERPConnect before installing K2 connect for SAP. For upgrades, there is also no need to upgrade the ERPConnect software as the new K2 connect installer will automatically do this for you.
  3. The installer will update K2 connect 32-bit and 64-bit installations. One installer is used for new installations as well as upgrades. When performing an upgrade, the current K2 connect installation will be uninstalled and the new version will be installed. The existing settings will be retained such as the K2 connect license key, however, it is important to select the correct database during the installation.
