New Direct Access gateway version 1.6.7

Direct Access gateway 1.6.7 introduces new capabilities and resolves several issues, including security vulnerabilities.

• Support for automatic port allocation when working with process isolation

  Previously, it was not possible to set the [ODBC|SAPBW|SAPSQL|SAPPACKAGE]_MAX_PROCESS_COUNT value higher than 10 when using the default port number and range settings. From this version, ports will be allocated automatically, allowing the number of concurrent reload processes to be greater than 10.

• Enhanced metadata paging when working with the SAP SQL (via Direct Access gateway) connector

  With this enhancement, when 10,000 tables or more are retrieved, the tables will be retrieved in batches of 10,000 to prevent timeouts.

To benefit from the enhancements and resolved issues, customers are encouraged to upgrade at the earliest opportunity. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation
