We report on a 22 ks target of opportunity (TOO) XMM-Newton observation (ObsID 0560180101, starting on 2008-07-18.26 UT) of the field of the optical nova M31N 2007-12b (see ATels #1324, #1329, #1332) which was identified with a transient bright supersoft X-ray source (SSS) in January 2008 by Swift (see ATel #1360). While this nova is no longer detected with the XMM-Newton EPIC cameras, the supersoft transient in the globular cluster Bol 111 was still active.
