Adapter for Microsoft Dynamics CRM

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Adapter is new in this release and can be found under the ERP adapters. It allows reporting against the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online environment, which is a customer relationship management software package that works in the Cloud. It enables companies to manage their prospect and customer account in a centralized way. The information that can reported against includes account, account leads, campaign activity, contacts, contact orders, and workflow.

Adapter for SAP/R3

Topics:

The following have been added for the Adapter for SAP/R3.

Enhanced Function Module Functionality

To prevent and avoid the malicious injection of ABAP code in the context of a WebFOCUS query, function modules provided by Information Builders (DYNAMIC_RUN, REP_CREATE,REP_GET_B_D, REP_RUN) are enhanced to perform whitelisting of the dynamically generated ABAP4 code, by default. (See the SEC_CHK function module for the list of permitted commands).

Any command not whitelisted will be denied execution.

In addition, the function modules provided by Information Builders are enhanced with user exits by inserting calls to customer defined function modules on start (USR_EXT_ENT*), and exit (USR_EXT_EXT*). These user exits will be called with the same set of parameters as the original calling function module (IMPORT/TABLES only). A dummy version is supplied by Information Builders.

* A customer can modify these user exit function modules and implement all additions and authorizations (SAP authority checks) that are required.
