Freshservice: Centralized Placeholder Handling for ITSM API Calls

A new class has been introduced to centralize the retrieval of placeholder data for ITSM-related API calls in Freshservice. This class ensures consistent and efficient handling of placeholders across various actions within the ITSM process.The following placeholders are now available:

<TRKORR>: Transport request number
<LEVEL>: Transport request level name
<OBJ>: Objects included in the transport request (to be implemented for Track-It)
<CLIENT>: System ID
<APP_TYPE>: Client
<APP_TYPE>: Approval type
<USER>: User who granted the approval

Placeholder Availability Matrix:

Placeholder/Action	CREATION	AFTER_WF_A	REASSIGN	APPROVAL	IMPORT
<TRKORR>	X	X	X	X	X
<LEVEL>					X
<OBJ>					X
<SID>					X
<CLIENT>					X
<APP_TYPE>				X
<USER>				X

This update simplifies the configuration of ITSM API calls by consolidating placeholder data into a single, reusable class.

Fixed Bugs

Title	Release Note	Release Note Solution	Components	Reference
Misleading Error Message Flags All Systems as "Yellow" When Virtual System is Present in Transport Directory Check	Users encountered a misleading error message when checking the trans-directory in the "Systems and Groups" section.During the transport environment check, the first system in the group is used as the reference SID. If the first system is a virtual system, the program assumes that no transport directory can be determined for any system in the group. Consequently, if there is a virtual system in the list, all subsequent systems are incorrectly flagged as "yellow."This inaccurate error message could confuse users attempting to validate their system configurations.	The program has been corrected. The error message logic has been adjusted to accurately reflect the transport directory status for systems in the group, regardless of virtual system presence.	Configuration	SC-1852
Free TM Attribute Selection Values Deleted When Adding New Lines	Users experienced a data loss issue in the Free TM Attribute Selection feature. When adding or deleting new rows to the selection, previously entered data would be erased if the inputs were not explicitly saved before making changes.	The program has been corrected.	TM Attribute, Workflow Monitor	SC-1833
TM Attributes Not Displayed for Modifiable Transports Lacking SAP Attributes and Limited to Five Displayed Attributes	When the modifiable transport does not have SAP attributes, the TM attributes are not displayed. Additionally, if there are more than five TM attributes for a modifiable transport, only five are displayed.	The program has been corrected. TM attributes are now displayed correctly for modifiable transports without SAP attributes, and all TM attributes are shown regardless of quantity."	TM Attribute, UI	SC-1867
Incorrect Transport Level Display in the Import Information	Users experienced inconsistencies in the display of Transport Levels within the Import Information. The Transport Level is now retrieved from table /RTC/TM_REQ instead of the last import level information.	The program has been corrected.	TM Import	SC-1855
Incorrect Transport Request Displayed in System Info After SP06 Installation	The changes in the /RTC/TM_UPDATE transaction are not displayed in the TM information. This issue occurs after the installation of SP06, where the System Info incorrectly displays the outdated transport request RTCK900221.Environment: Software Version: SP06 (updated with HF2 ZIP file) Affected Module: Update Assistant/System Info Correct Transport Request: RTCK900237 Incorrect Transport Request Displayed: RTCK900221	The program has been corrected. The Update Assistant now accurately displays correct transport request RTCK900237 in the System Info section following SP06 installation.	TM Update Assistant	SC-1851
Inconsistent Import Time Display Leading to Misleading Duration Information	Users have reported an inconsistency in the system's import times display. The import time shown is shorter than the actual time taken to complete the import process. This discrepancy can lead to misunderstandings about the duration of import operations and potentially affect user workflow planning.	The program has been corrected. The import time display has been aligned with the actual import duration to prevent misunderstandings.	UI, Workflow Monitor	SC-1854
Date Format Incorrect in System Configuration for License Validity	Users encountered an unexpected date format when viewing license validity information in the system configuration. Instead of displaying the date in a standard format, the system showed an unconventional arrangement of numbers. This issue occurred when the user's date format preferences were set to a particular configuration. While the license validity status appeared correct, the unusual date presentation could lead to confusion and misinterpretation of the expiration date.	The program has been corrected. The date format display for license validity information has been standardized to align with user preferences.	UI	SC-1859
TM Logo Not Displayed Correctly Due to Christmas Logo Type Configuration Issue	The TM logo was not displayed correctly due to an issue with the Christmas logo type not being updated.	The program has been corrected.	UI	SC-1868
Incorrect German Translation of SPAU and SPAU_ENH Objects after S/4HANA 2023 FPS1 Upgrade	In the latest version, certain SPAU and SPAU_ENH objects were incorrectly translated into German, causing confusion during the upgrade process. This issue affected the consistency of language in the system and could potentially lead to misinterpretation of the objects' purposes.	The program has been corrected.	Upgrade	SC-1650
Short Dump CALL_FUNCTION_OPEN_ERROR After SP6 HF5 Update Due to Hanging Semaphores in RFC Calls	A short dump "CALL_FUNCTION_OPEN_ERROR" occurred due to an uncaught exception during an RFC call after updating to SP6 HF5. The issue was caused by hanging semaphores that disrupted the RFC communication process.	The program has been corrected. The handling of RFC calls has been improved to prevent unhandled exceptions.	Upgrade	SC-1865
Import Information Not Sorted Correctly in TM Workflow Monitor and Integration	The import information was not sorted correctly in the TM Workflow Monitor and during integration. This issue caused confusion and inefficiencies when tracking import levels.	The program has been corrected. Sorting functionality in the TM Workflow Monitor and integration processes has been improved to ensure accurate tracking of import levels.	Workflow Monitor	SC-1781
Project and Destination Fields Not Persisting After Transport Request Assignment in TM Workflow Monitor	The Project and Destination fields were not correctly saved after assigning them to a Transport Request in the TM Workflow Monitor. This issue caused the assigned Project and Destination to disappear from the list upon refresh.	The program has been corrected.	Workflow Monitor	SC-1878

	ITSM System Fails to Update After Importing Multiple Transport Requests with Subsets	The ITSM system was not being updated when multiple transport requests were imported simultaneously. This occurred due to missing transactional consistency after processing the imports.	The program has been corrected. To ensure proper updates, a COMMIT statement has been added after the Function Module /RTC/TM_IF_UE_AFTER_IMPORT call.	Integration Framework, Jira_App, TM Import	SC-1837
