Message Broker Releases

Although it is recommended to use the latest version of the product, versions of FSM Connector and Message Broker are not entirely dependent. This means that it is possible to use the newest FSM Connector with one of the older message brokers and vice versa but certain functionalities may not work.
After Message Broker upgrade, it is recommended to regenerate the related webservices. The easiest way to regenerate a web service is deletion of a logical port in SOAMANAGER and creating it again with the same parameters.
3070721 - Download of FSM Message Broker
Added handling for deletion in FSM of objects using their FSM guid instead of SAP key.
Bugfix: Attachments added in FSM are now properly transferred to SAP backend
Bugfix: The FULLSYNCEND message is now properly confirmed with status 41
Message Broker 4.4 - released on 15.04.2024
Windows version download
Linux version download
breaking change: Message Broker uses new SAP addresses' pool for connection (check here)
property DirectoryServiceUrl move to the new section “DebugSettings”
confirmation object returns FSM Object Id for objects created in SAP and sent to FSM
Bugfix: In case of error content of an exception was not passed to a log file which made it very difficult to analyse the root cause of a problem.
Throttling based on outbound queue size (in megabytes)
Additional data added to message broker info output.
Logging reworked, so that each log line contains account/company/message ID/sap client ID where possible.
Bugfix: Error ‘WebService System Fault: SOAP:1.001 CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_DATE_TIME’ does not appear anymore
Bugfix: when Message Broker was started in failover mode, it used to throw if GetMessageBrokerInfo was called before MB was first time activated
breaking change: AccessToken is not used to authenticate to SAP FSM cloud anymore. Instead ClientID + ClientSecret/ClientSecretSecure needs to be provided in the Message Broker configuration.
breaking change: *Secure configuration elements (PasswordSecure, etc.) are now encrypted with use of ClientId as a key, as AccessToken is gone
breaking change: *Secure configuration elements encryption algorithm changed
Message Broker can now be started in Encryption mode with command line switch (-e, /e, --encrypt, /encrypt), in which it allows generating encrypted values for *Secure configuration elements. This eliminates need to use CloudManager to encrypt passwords
Built with .NET 6.0.10 and Transporter 8.2.0
ConnectorVersion is no more in the configuration, instead MessageBroker reports to FSM Cloud its technical version number
If Transporter fails to start on Engine startup, the startup is re-tried every 30 seconds until successful, if not in failover mode. Behavior in failover mode not changed, if Transporter fails to start, the Engine is stopped and the other instance in FO cluster can take the communication.
SAP web service client state added to GetMessageBrokerInfo. That way it should be possible to monitor from SAP state of all key components
SAP -> MB connectivity - if not accessible, GetMessageBrokerInfo cannot be called anyway and throws exception
MB -> FSM Cloud connectivity - Transporter status
MB -> SAP connectivity - SapServiceClient status
GetMessageBrokerInfo web service operation reports now state of Transporter/Cloud communication
threading optimizations
Throttling is applied separately to each web service call rather than to each message. Previously throttling could have been applied excessively in case of multi-message (message package) web service calls.
Throttling is applied to each company separately. Previously it was applied globally (on MB level), which used to cause time-outs on SAP backend side, as the company queues are processed in parallel in SAP.
Confirmation sending now does not block processing of the normal messages. The confirmations used bo be sent in the main thread, blocking the processing of other messages. Now confirmations are sent in a separate thread.
Messages of type COR_CLOUD_BOUNCE (used by us to mark fullsync-end) are not send to FSM cloud anymore - they are not FSM relevant. They used to be ignored by the cloud, but recently the cloud started throwing errors. Filtering them out should solve the problem.
Confirmation bundling reworked not to lock the communication while the bundle is (synchronously) being sent by Transporter. This should improve performance of the communication in unstable network condition.
First draft of measuring allocated memory implemented. When it proves to be reliable, we may decide to apply throttling based on the memory consumption.
BTP: Added support for location ID of SAP Cloud Connector destination.
Remote MB restart support: stop Message Broker process when requested by the FSM Cloud. OS-level service manager should restart it automatically.
Handling for failover mechanism was added
New message broker makes is possible to remap existing FSM Cloud GUIDs to new SAP keys keeping existing FSM relations in place
Message broker is now capable of presenting it’s own version
Message Broker 3.2 was built against .NET 6.0
Improved handling of container restart in BTP (required also changes in SAP backend. Check SAP NOTE 3133310
Pinging Message Broker from Connector does not result in ERROR entries in the log. INFO is added instead
In case a proxy is used relevant information can be found in the log
