Version 7.x only supports SAP Netweaver 7.5 systems. For older versions of SAP Netweaver please use version 6.9.0.

Improved

• Java 1.8 support - the PowerConnect Java agent has been re-engineered to take advantage of Java 1.8 features and remove some legacy Java 1.6 libraries and code

• New UI (beta) - The PowerConnect Java agent UI has been re-written using the SAP UI5 framework. The older Web Dynpro will remain in place and will be deprecated in a future release. The new UI is accessible at: http://<sap-host>:<sap-port>/powerconnect-java/index.html

Known Issues

• There is a known issue around PO message collection which can cause duplicate messages to be sent to Splunk for long running PO messages. This has been fixed in 7.2.0.

• There is a known issue where the PowerConnect Java agent sometimes fails to stop. This occurs when the Agent recieves a stop signal whilst it’s running an extractor that uses the http client (topology, po channel status, po performance). The stop request shuts down the http client whilst the extractor is still using it and ends up with a stuck thread. This has been fixed as a hotfix 7.3.1 and in 8.0.0.
