datadirect-product-compatibility.pdf
Changes Since 8.0.1 GA
CVE-2022-41853 - Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code
('Unsafe Reflection')
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several Progress DataDirect ODBC drivers utilized a version of HyperSQL
Database that was vulnerable to remote code execution described in
CVE-2022-41853. All impacted drivers have been patched to fix this
vulnerability. For details on impacted drivers and fixed versions, refer to
the following KB article:
https://community.progress.com/s/article/DataDirect-ODBC-Critical-Security-
Bulletin-November-2022-CVE-2022-41853
Enhancements
------------
* The product package now includes .pdb files. These files contain debugging
symbols that can be used for diagnosing and debugging issues in the driver.
* The driver is now compiled with a Visual Studio 2022 compiler for Windows
platforms. As a result, you must have Microsoft Visual C/C++ runtime
version 14.40.33810 or higher on your machine to run the driver.
* The ICU library files that are installed with the product have been
upgraded to version 74.1. As a part of this upgrade, the ICU library
file names have changed:
- For the 32-bit driver: From ivicu28.dll to ivicu.dll
- For the 64-bit driver: From ddicu28.dll to ddicu.dll
This upgrade is available starting in build 08.02.1072 of the ICU
library files.
Changed Behavior
----------------
* The installer program now requires you to install a JRE that is Java SE 11 or
higher before running the installer. In earlier versions, the JRE used by the
installer program was included in the product. However, to avoid potential
security vulnerabilities, the installer program no longer includes a JRE.
Instead, the installer program uses the JRE in your environment to allow for
the most secure version of a JRE to be used.
Notes:
- This change does not affect the JVM requirements for the driver. For the latest
driver requirements, refer to the Product Compatibility Guide:
https://docs.progress.com/bundle/datadirect-product-compatibility/resource/
datadirect-product-compatibility.pdf
- The installer program cannot remove the already installed JRE files from the
install directory automatically. Remove them manually.
- To install the 32-bit drivers on 64-bit Windows platforms and start the SQL
engine service, the installer requires the 32-bit version of Java SE 11 or
higher installed on your machine and defined on your path.
Changes for 8.0.1 GA
Enhancements
------------
* The driver has been enhanced to support BW/4HANA and other SAP ODATA V2
services exposed through the SAP Gateway.
* The driver has been enhanced to support CDS views that require parameters.
* The driver has been enhanced to support HTTP Header authentication for use
with the S/4HANA sandbox hosted at https://api.sap.com.
* The driver has been enhanced to determine the maximum size of VARCHAR columns
within the result set metadata using the new Maximum Varchar Size connection
option.
* The driver has been enhanced to support a default value of 100000 and a
maximum value of 1000000 for the Web Service Fetch Size connection option.
Changed Behavior
----------------
* The installer program has been updated to no longer install common components
for drivers that do not use them. As a result, the installer program no longer
installs the following common components for the SAP S/4HANA driver:
- OpenSSL library files, such as ivopenssl30.dll, ddopenssl30.dll, fips.dll, and
openssl.cnf.
- Curl library files, such as ivcurl28.dll and ddcurl28.dll.
If the files are not used by any other DataDirect driver on your machine, you
can safely remove them from existing product directories.
Release 8.0.0 Features
The Progress DataDirect for ODBC for SAP S/4HANA driver supports SQL read-write
access for ODBC applications to S/4HANA. To support SQL access, the driver
creates a relational map of the S/4HANA data model and translates SQL statements
to S/4HANA OData requests. In addition, the driver employs a SQL engine
component that provides support to SQL constructs unavailable in S/4HANA. This
functionality offers a number of advantages, including support for reporting
data and metadata in a form that ODBC applications are ready to use.
Features:
* Supports SQL read-write access to SAP S/4HANA
* Supports all ODBC Core and Level 1 functions and some Level 1 and
Level 2 features
* Supports S/4HANA data types through data type inference
* Supports custom fields, including many fields added through third-party
plug-ins
* Supports basic (user ID and password) authentication
* Supports SSL data encryption
* Supports the handling of large result sets with paging, and the
Fetch Size (FetchSize) and WSFetch Size (WSFetchSize) connection options
* Includes the DataDirect ODBC Driver Configuration Manager for quick
configuration and testing of your driver. This Configuration Manager allows
you to:
- Configure data sources
- Generate and edit connection URLs
- Test connect data sources and connection URLs
- Execute SQL commands for testing
- Access connection property descriptions and the full product
documentation
DataDirect ODBC Driver Configuration Manager
The driver includes a browser-based configuration tool, the DataDirect ODBC
Driver Configuration Manager, that allows you to generate and test connection
URLs that you can use with your application. You can launch the Configuration
Manager by opening the ODBC Administrator from the Progress DataDirect
program group and creating or configuring a data source for the driver.
The Configuration Manager will open in your default web browser. For more
information, refer to the user's guide for your driver.
Notes, Known Problems, and Restrictions
The following are notes, known problems, and restrictions for the driver:
Specifying values for the same connection option multiple times
---------------------------------------------------------------
The driver does not support specifying values for the same connection
option multiple times in a connection string or DSN. If a value is
specified using the same attribute multiple times or using both
long and short attributes, the connection may fail or the driver may
not behave as intended.
Inaccurate Error Message for Unsupported Delete Operations
----------------------------------------------------------
If you attempt to execute Delete operations against SAP OData services that do
not support them, the driver will return the following inaccurate error
message: "Expected a string but was BOOLEAN." Contact Technical Support if you
encounter issues.
Filtering by NULL Values in columns associated with NOT NULL constraints
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updating a NULL value in a column associated with a NOT NULL constraint in a
schema table updates the value in the respective column as an empty string.
To filter based on a NULL value in this scenario, specify an empty string in
the WHERE clause of a SQL statement. Contact Technical Support if you encounter
issues.
Update and Delete support on services with E-Tag validation
------------------------------------------------------------
The driver does not support update or delete operations on services that
require E-Tag validation. If you execute update or delete operations on a
service requiring E-Tag validation, the driver returns a 428 error.
Services with non-standard paths
--------------------------------
The driver does not connect to services specified by the Service List
(ServiceList) option that have a different relative path than the standard,
which is https://<hostname>/sap/opu/odata/sap.
NULL and empty values service inconsistency
-------------------------------------------
When a column without a value is queried, the driver returns a NULL instead of
an empty string. All filter operations require the use of empty strings for
such columns.
Connection issues when specifying ExtendedOptions
-------------------------------------------------
When specifying a value for the Extended Options (ExtendedOptions) option in
the Configuration Manger, the driver currently adds the option and its value to
the Connection String field. However, the ExtendedOptions attribute is not
supported in Connection Strings; therefore, attempting to connect with the
generated connection string or executing a test connect with the configuration
manager will result in the an "Invalid attribute in the connection string: XO"
error.
To work around this issue, manually edit the connection string to remove
"ExtendedOptions=" from the connection string; then, specify the value of
ExtendOptions as semi-colon separated options in the string.
For example:
Driver=<driver_name>;HostName=<host_name>;ExtendedOptions=WorkArounds2=4096,
WorkArounds2=8192;
Becomes:
Driver=<driver_name>;HostName=<host_name>;WorkArounds2=4096;WorkArounds2=8192;
Out-of-memory Errors
--------------------
The driver has been designed to handle large result sets that result. However,
out-of-memory errors can still occur. The following items outline how to reduce
the likelihood of out-of-memory errors for your environment.
* Reduce Fetch Size (FetchSize) to reduce demands on memory. By lowering the
maximum number of rows as specified by Fetch Size, you lower the number of
rows the driver is required to process before returning data to the
application. Thus, you reduce demands on memory and decrease the likelihood
of out-of-memory errors.
* Increase the JVM heap size. By increasing the max Java heap size, you increase
the amount of data the driver can accumulate in memory and avoid
out-of-memory errors.
126 Error When Modifying Data Sources on Windows 10
---------------------------------------------------
You may receive a 126 error when adding or configuring a data source stored
on a network location. This might be caused by the settings of the User Account
Control (UAC) security feature on Windows 10. To work around this issue:
Important: Implementing this fix disables security safeguards that are designed
to protect your machine. Before starting, refer to the following Microsoft
documentation for potential risks associated with disabling the UAC feature:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/
windows/what-are-user-account-control-settings
1. From the Start menu, type regedit in the search field; then, select regedit
from the results list. The Registry Editor window opens.
2. Navigate to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
3. Right click on the subkey; then, select New > DWORD Value.
4. Rename the new value EnableLinkedConnections.
5. Right-click EnableLinkedConnections, and then click Modify. The Edit DWORD
Value window opens.
6. In the Value data field, type 1. Click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor; then, restart your computer.
Driver WorkAround Options
Progress DataDirect has included non-standard connection options (workarounds)
for the driver that enable you to take full advantage of packaged ODBC-enabled
applications requiring non-standard or extended behavior. Refer to the chapter
"WorkAround options" in THE PROGRESS DATADIRECT FOR ODBC DRIVERS REFERENCE for a
description of these options.
