Version 1.17.1

Release Date: July 25, 2026 Release Type: Release Candidate

This was a Release Candidate published to the staging channel; its content was validated and is included in 1.18.0, the first release on the single product version line. The headline of this release is the ESR repository facade, RFC function browsing with automatic schema generation, and the unified Connections workspace.

Backend Server​

New Features​

  • ESR repository facade: MIP can directly answer a partner system's repository (ESR) browser requests, so the interfaces deployed in MIP flows become discoverable from the design tooling without maintaining a separate repository. Includes a capture/hybrid mode to ease migration, a query and public-WSDL service, and authentication of incoming repository requests against MIP user credentials.
  • RFC function browsing and automatic schema generation: When configuring an RFC connector, users can test the connection, browse the remote function modules on the target system, and automatically generate request and response schemas from a function's interface, removing manual schema authoring.

Frontend Server​

New Features​

  • Connections suite — XI/PO, RFC/IDoc and web services: Connect to a PO/XI system, browse its software components, and import ESR service interfaces with cached WSDLs; browse RFC destinations and import function interfaces, materializing their import/export schemas as flow resources; and discover web services through a WS-Inspection (WSIL) catalog and import selected services.
  • Single-credential mode and improved service-user management: An optional mode where each connection carries one automatically named credential created atomically with the connection, plus a paginated, sortable, searchable two-panel service-user view scoped by role.

Frontend Web​

New Features​

  • Import XI interfaces with progress and where-used: Import interfaces with multi-select of software components to scope large catalogs, preview and download pretty-printed WSDL, follow live import progress, and see exactly which flows use an imported interface before you change it.
  • RFC connectivity — browse, explore, test and schema copy: Browse and select remote function modules from the flow node, explore the RFC catalog from a dedicated page, test destination connectivity, view interface schemas as JSON or XML, copy schemas in and out, and reuse imported objects as mapping schemas.
  • Unified Connections workspace: RFC, XI Proxy/PO and web-service connections are consolidated under a single tabbed Connections page in Operations, with inline BASIC credential creation for PO connections.
  • Web services (SOA) browser: Discover web services, view a WSDL outline, generate sample requests, and selectively import chosen services into MIP.
  • Unified credential management and service users: Credential management is streamlined into the edit pages with per-credential enable/disable, staged create-with-credentials, consumer OAuth2 binding, and single-mode hardening; service users get two role-split panels and a secure password generator with one-time reveal.
