  Notification to Remove Old IP Addresses from Allowlist [CES-781]
As part of the Next Generation Cloud Delivery program, SAP Ariba has completed its transition to a hyperscaler infrastructure, which affects all SAP Ariba cloud solutions and SAP Business Network.

  Enforced Anti-Virus Scanning in SAP Ariba Solutions [PS-15406]
This feature enforces the use of anti-virus scanning in SAP Ariba solutions. SAP Ariba scans all files uploaded using both the user interface and the SAP Ariba integration toolkit. If a virus or malware is detected when a file is uploaded, SAP Ariba displays a warning message indicating that the file is infected. Uploaded files are scanned for viruses by streaming the file contents to the virus scanning engine, so no local copies of the file are saved prior to being scanned. If a virus is detected, the file is automatically purged from the system.

  Ability to Update Company Logo for the Site in Intelligent Configuration Manager [PLICM-859]

Customer administrators can then follow the same workflow to test, approve, and deploy packages to their production site.

  Establish a Limit on Email Notifications Per Day from Test Sites [PLCS-7475]
When testing a document or workflow triggers notifications to groups that contain a large number of users or that share users between them, a flood of low-priority emails can be generated. These emails often go unread. This feature limits the number of email notifications from test sites to 5000 per day, and alerts the customer when that limit has been reached.
2305          
  Ability to Update Site Language Settings in Intelligent Configuration Manager [PLICM-887]
Customer administrators can now update language settings for their site in the Intelligent Configuration Manager workspace without having to request assistance from SAP Ariba representatives.

  Enhancements to Audit Reports in Intelligent Configuration Manager [PLICM-3207]
Customers can now securely download audit reports in the Intelligent Configuration Manager workspace. The generated audit reports are encrypted using the public key. Customers can decrypt the generated audit report files using their private key.

  Migration of legacy audit logs to SAP Ariba's audit service [PLMSG-1557]
This feature introduces a phased migration of audit logging in SAP Ariba solutions to SAP Ariba's audit service. All new audit data logged after the notified transition date will be available only in the audit service logs, accessible from the Intelligent Configuration Manager. Initially, legacy audit data logged in the one year preceding May 1, 2022 (the date on which the audit service became available) will be migrated to the audit service. In subsequent phases, legacy audit data will be completely migrated to the audit service. Until this migration is completed, legacy audit data will be available in both the internal logs of SAP Ariba applications and the audit service logs.
2305        
  Data purge capabilities in SAP Ariba solutions [SI-23]
SAP Ariba solutions now enable you to purge transaction data, audit log data, blocked users' profile information, and supplier master data in your site. For the purpose of data management, you may be required to purge data from your system after a certain retention period or you may choose to purge data simply because it no longer serves any business purpose. You can manually purge data older than a specified date. You can also configure recurring data purges based on the retention policy in your site using the Intelligent Configuration Manager workspace.
2305
Starting 2306
         
  Enforce the Use of HTTPS in SAP Ariba Solutions [SI-6537]
This feature enforces the use of HTTPS in SAP Ariba solutions. Existing HTTP URL links no longer display as hyperlinks in the user interface and email messages. If you enter an HTTP link in a URL field in the user interface, SAP Ariba now displays a message indicating that you must use HTTPS. The use of HTTP is also logged in the SAP Ariba audit service. This feature also validates that outbound endpoint URLs are HTTPS. SAP Ariba blocks the creation of new HTTP outbound endpoint URLS and blocks existing HTTP outbound calls.
