Limitations

1. Currently, the component documentation does not contain JSON schemas for each object types. The documentation contains only request examples and links to SOAP service documentation.

2. The component does not comply with OIH standards.

3. Get New And Updated Objects Polling trigger currently supports only few objects, please see full list.

4. Due to a platform feature ‘retrieving sample’ timeout a sample may not be retrieved during the component setup process. It is not a bug as it is caused by a heavy-weight Java process for serialization/deserialization of JAXB structure for SAP’s WSDL. Which is normally of huge size. We are hardly working on this issue and it will likely be fixed in the nearest releases. But for now please be patient. As this issue is only for UI retrieve sample functionality it will NOT affect you in runtime.
