    Notes regarding collaboration feature:

    The "row-lock-system" has a size limitation regarding the number of lock-able rows. The size is  determined key-combination of the table and the number of selected rows. The limitation differs based on the NetWeaver Version. 

    • NetWeaver 7.50 and earlier: 32 KB
    • NetWeaver 7.51 and later: 1 MB

    Exceeding the limit will simple ignore the row-lock-system for the selection. All other functions are not affected. 

     

    Official SAP restrictions:

    NetWeaver 7.50 and earlier: Incoming and outgoing messages are limited to 64 KB. Messages sent via system-wide access (i.e., using the connection attach handle) or AMC are limited to 31 KB.

    NetWeaver 7.51 and later: Incoming messages are limited to 100 MB (this limit is configurable via profile parameter); there is no size limit for outgoing messages. Messages sent via system-wide access (i.e. using the connection attach handle) or AMC are limited to 1 MB.

So for all data being read, the ADSO needs to be be activated with every change. Leaving several requests not activated in the inbound queue can result in inconsistent data, as any change with NextTables will result in activation of all other requests in inbound table.
    • [#441] Master data and texts can be comfortably edited together in one screen if texts are not time dependent.
    • [#444] Version field is introduced in the backend, showing the current NextTables version. Constant attribute CO_NEXTTABLES_VERSION in class /NLY/CL_TABLE_REST_V3.
    • [#453] Added a menu item to include links (URL) to be opened in a new window. This can be used to link to a certain help page or other external information.
    • [#457] Added a new options for field DISPLAY of field level meta data (SET_META_EXIT):

      1 visible

      2 not visible, but still in global filter (prefilter)

      3 only visible in table view

      4 not visible, not transferred to frontend.

      Value 2 can be used if field should not be available for the user, but still be available in the global filter (prefilter) for backend filtering. Value 4 is to be used, when data should not be sent to frontend and in now way be available to the end user.

    • [#459] Empty lines in CSV (;;;;) are recognized during the upload and a warning message is displayed to the user.
