Hi Mohit,
Welcome to the CRM Community. Specifically what areas do you require guidance in?

This post is too vague.

SDN not working in Firefox 1.5.0.4

hello sdn people,
i would love to use SDN in my favourite browser, however this is what happens in mozilla firefox 1.5.0.4:
SDN seems to be loaded, i even get the SDN icon in the adress bar, but then it gets trapped in an endless loop and reloads the page on and on again.
is this a known issue? any workarounds known?
thank you for any suggestions!

SAP Scripting Languages on the SDN Day - Amsterdam

I would like to give a short summary of what happened on the SDN Day in Amsterdam, the 17-th Oct. 2006.
After the breakfast Craig Cmehil gave us a welcome to the event and presented the schedule. We started with a power networking session: Four 20-minute Sessions with Six SDNers per Table. As I was sitting at the Scripting Languages table, I would like to share some impressions of the atmosphere there. We talked much about the emmerging SAP Scripting Tool and how much value it will bring to all scripting projects that plan to utilize SAP backend systems. We discussed Gregor Wolf's contest and he was so kind to inform us that his test system is also available inside the SAP corporate network, so all SAP employees now can participate too. Gregor works for Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik GmbH and the award they offer for the contest is a Siteco Vistosa task light. More information about the contest can be found at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4588. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] Another key discussion was held with Björn Schotte, the chief editor of PHP Magazine, Germany, presenting also his company Mayflower Gmbh. He shared some visions on business applications of PHP and stated that PHP is definitely enterprise ready.
Then after a very short pause we started the SDN breakout sessions (3-5 in parallel). I visited the sessions of Gregor Wolf, André Labahn, Björn Schotte and after this I cooperated for the breakout session of Frank Mittag.
Session 1:
Connecting Typo3 to R/3 Enterprise via Web Services with Gregor Wolf from Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik GmbH
Siteco Beleuchtungstechnik GmbH currently implements a customer service centre into it's Typo3 based website. Typo3 is an Open Source Web Content Management system based on the Scripting Language PHP. The application will allow Siteco's customers to directly check price & availability of products from the backend R/3 Enterprise system, quotations, orders and delivery status. The backend connectivity uses Web Services utilise the PEAR SOAP Package.
Session 2:
SAP supports Scripting Languages with Andre Labahn from SAP.
This session will provide you with more insights on how SAP is supporting scripting languages.
Session 3:
Scripting Languages PHP and Enterprise Software with Björn Schotte (Chief Editor from PHP Magazine).
This session showed us a brief history of PHP and PHP in Germany. Some enterprise applications of PHP were discussed. Björn Schotte was the opinion that PHP is definitely enterprise ready and he proved it with an example of a system that his company has created for Siemens.
Session 4:
Scripting Languages Tool with Frank Mittag and Vasil Bachvarov (me) from SAP
SAP will provide a open source tool to the scripting development community that is supporting the access to SAP Backend Systems via RFC/BAPIs and Webservices. See the concept and demo of the tool and discuss this with SAP Development.
There was a pretty interesting discussion about the tool. Since the time for the last session shrinked with some minutes we had to be very quick, but Frank Mittag did a great job and succeeded to explain the basic concept of the SAP Scripting Tool and show it in action for the tough time constraint.
There were a lot of questions from the audience but it was already 18:30 and we stopped at this point. There would be a second chance for questions on thursday when Frank had the opportunity to make a more complete and comprehensive walk-through of the project.
Then we gathered in the meeting hall and Shai Agassi held a speech and made a summary of the event.
The evening finished in the BoomChicago theater where everybody received a delicious meal, drinks and a great amount of fun with the ChicagoBoom comic crew.
I would like to thank all people that made this event come true! See you soon in Bangalore.
Best Regards,
Vasil Bachvarov

I'm be there in Amsterdam as well. In fact I am leaving the US on Sunday and arriving early Monday morning in Amsterdam.
I was planning to do a little site seeing on Monday Afternoon. If anyone else is arriving a bit early as well, they are welcome to join me. It is always more fun to site see in groups. My email address is public in my SDN business card (also not too difficult to figure out ) if anyone is interested in meeting up.

Not able to see Enterprise Service hosted at SDN

Dear All
I want to access the Enterprise Service that are available at SDN and for that I created two proxies in Visual Admin.
I am trying to call those services in my Visual Composer. I am able to see the services in the Group.
But not able to see the required Enterprise Service.
When I click the + sign nothing comes under that group.
I am using VC 7.0
Can any body help me.
Thanks

Hello Everybody
The ES available at SDN cannot be accessed outside SAP network because if we see the XML of the service available, the URLs within the XML are pointing to the internal hostname iwdf1030.dmzwdf.sap.corp of the system and not to the external hostname erp.esworkplace.sap.com. Unfortunately the internal hostname is not accessible or known to the internet and that is why we are not able to connect and retrieve the interface definition.
May be it will take some time to resolve this issuse, till then have a great time.
Regards
Vivek

An Apology to SDN and a Request for Advice

After thinking about Mark Finnern's suggestion yesterday that I stop blogging so frequently, I realized that I had made an honest mistake about the way in which I was using the SDN blog area.
Let me try to explain how and why this mistake occurred.
First, it goes without saying that what SDN does well, it does extremely well. I have used the Expert Forums on several critical occasions in the past few months, and they function "above and beyong". I also keep a list of "good_sdn_links" when I see great guides and explanations in blog posts, so I don't have to bother searching for them later, and here again, SDN is doing its job extremely well.
But the fact that SDN does certain things very very well doesn't mean it is doing everything it should be doing.
What do I mean by this?
Well, many people here at SDN would agree with me that there are many things terribly wrong with the IT community today and inside the SAP community as well. Furthermoe, it's my opinion that SDN is doing nothing to try and change these things, when it in fact can and should be trying to change them.
So I decided to do my part as a "change agent" by posting a number of "perspective" posts which tried to communicate what I thought was wrong with IT and SAP today.
But here's where the mistake came in.
First, I figured from my read count that I must be doing something right, otherwise, why would my blog posts have @52,000 reads since 10/1/2006, or about 440 reads per calendar day?
Second, for all the criticism I received in personal emails about my blogs, I also received validation at SDN. Let me give you an example of this.
Two well-respected and long-time members of the SDN community indicated to me in personal emails that they had a lot of problems with my two long series of blogs on the WDA component WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMENTS and how it could be very easily converted to do many other useful things.
But at the same time as I was receiving this criticsm , I responded to Thomas Szuecs in one of his threads and therefore took an opportunity to ask him if he knew the SAP developer of WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMETNS, and if so, to convey my gratitude to the developer of WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMENTS for writing such a wonderful piece of code. He responded that he did know this developer and that this developer liked the series very much,
Third, I have received blog responses from several SDNers indicating that my "perspective posts" were registering with them. The one of these that I treasure most is from the SDNer who posted the following: "I like the way you put your finger where it hurts - keep it up."
So, you can see from the above three points how the mistake occurred - I figured that if I had 440 reads per day over four months, and if my technical posts were OK with key SAP developers, and if at least some readers were responding with indications that they understood what I was trying to do in my "perspective" posts, then I must be doing something right.
But if you've been following some recent conversations in this Forum, you'll realize that I was doing something quite wrong.
What I was doing wrong with my "perspective" posts was trying to use the blog space at SDN to effect change in the SAP community and therefore, in the larger IT community.
And if you think about it, this was wrong for a very obvious reason: SDN has this "Suggestions" Forum that I'm posting in right now.
So if I was really serious about trying to get SDN to become a change agent to help improve the SAP community and the larger IT community, then I should have been posting a particular kind of post to the Suggestion Forum, instead of "perspective" blogs.
In particular, I should have been making Suggestion Forum posts which:
a) clearly identify a problem in the SAP community that SDN can actually help to change;
b) offering a concrete suggestion as to how SDN can help to change this problem.
So - having finally realized my mistake, I want to start posting posts to this Suggestion Forum which do (a) and (b).
But before I do, I want to ask two questions up front: one about frequency and one about content.
With respect to frequency, how often should I make one of these posts to the Suggestion Forum - weekly, every other day - you folks tell me.
With respect to content, are there any topics that any one thinks inappropriate for a suggestion post? In particular, would anyone object to Suggestion Forum posts on the following topics:
a) in the SAP community (outside BI/A), matters relating to real business computation are being ignored in favor of an emphasis on tool technologies that have nothing to do with real business computation, but are important to SAP's marketing strategies; what can SDN to change this?
b) in the SAP community, not enough support is being provided to the many external SAP developers who are stuck on systems at or above 4.6c and below 04s; what can SDN do to change this?
c) in the SAP community, there is not enough awareness of deficiencies in the relational database model, and how carefully it must be used; what can SDN do to change this?
d) in the SAP community, there is not enough awareness of how various "organizational pathologies" at customer sites constrain the ways in which SAP can be used to benefit customers; what can SDN do to change this?
e) in the SAP community, there is far too little focus on SAP metadata, particularly at a time when SAP is trying to move into the Enterprise SOA paradigm.
To sum up:
1) If you think Suggestion Posts in any of these five areas are inappropriate, please take a moment to let me know.
2) If you think that Suggestion Posts should also be limited to a certain frequency, please also take a moment to let me know.
3) If you've gotten this far in reading this post, thanks very much for your patience and for whatever advice you have the time and energy to provide.

Hi Eddy -
Thanks very much for the advice; it will probably work out that way anyway because right now I'm really interested in doing a good enough initial "trial-run" that Valery/Rich will be willing to get involved in a mini-collaboration that I'm right now working to start up with an opening post in "Test/Playground".
Anyway, since you're taking some time off, I beg you to take a look at the first two paragraphs of this link:
<a href="http://www.kcoyle.net/granfalloons.html">ReCatsCradle</a>.
and also then read Kurt Vonnegut's short novel "Cat's Cradle" if you haven't already.
It is amazing how Vonnegut's notions of a "granfaloon" and a "karass" are related to various events that transpire here at SDN.
Take care of yourself, buddy.
Best regards
djh

Feedback for SAP TechEd, SDN Day, SDN Clubhouse - Las Vegas

Please give us your feedback and thoughts on the event, Clubhouse and SDN Day.

LOL!
Come on just giving you a hard time
I heard that Vegas was all around 10 times better for hands on sessions, lecture sessions, SDN Day (off the wall) and the Clubhouse.
I've not heard a negative comment yet other than the fact that people kept getting lost trying to get out of the hotel

Feedback for SDN Day, SAP TechEd and the SDN Clubhouse for Bangalore

So what did everyone think?

SDN Day -
I have already blogged on it <a href="/people/bhavesh.kantilal/blog/2006/11/07/sdn-bangalored">SDN Bangalored</a>. But , would like to again state that the concept was good and that the expectations for SDN Day 2007 are even higher! The fact that we are expecting more tells the fact that SDN Day B'lore 2006 was amazing!
SAP TechED -
Well, here my verdict is mixed. There were a few sessions that were marked as Advanced, but were actually sessions that were for beginners. Advanced Sessions need to be truely advanced.
It would have been more fun and useful if there had been an open house session where the actual Developers of the Netweaver Products or the RIG from every development area had help Open House sessions to understand and address the ideas / questions and issues of us developers. Maybe something of this sort can be arranged at the techED's 07.
There were a few sessions did actually catch my interest and were very useful as well, but overall I expected lots but got less
SDN Clubhouse:
I was there at the clubhouse every minute i was not attending a session at the Tech ED. Need I say more craig
Maybe more quizzing and more freebies next year ( human nature to be greedy and ask for more )
To the entire SDN team -- Special thanks to you people for the amazing experience! Hoping 2007 kicks off more surprises and more community events.

Bhavesh

How about two SDN "blogspaces" : one FOR points and 1 NOT FOR points ?

I suggest that the current SDN logspace be divided into two subspaces:
one for points: this is where technical and/or non-controversial messages would be posted and be rewarded according to the current rules
one not for points: this is where folks would post "controversial" messages (technical or non-technical) that would not get any point reward.
I would personally prefer to post in the "not for points" subspace, for several reasons.
But I'd prefer to see what others have to say before saying what they are.
By the way, there's a US expression "preaching to the choir". The new blog (for no points) would be for those who are not necessarily "preaching to the choir".
djh

david,
i think i do understand your intention and therefore agree with you.
IMHO, the blogsphere here on SDN, as execellent as it is, is kind of a 'posing platform' rather than a discussion space. People do post their contributions, receive their points reward and expect some congratulations and cheering if anything at all. I happened to me that people got upset when I questioned the use or correctness or usefulness of some of the content of their blogs. When it did this with the intention to discuss matters, I recognized that people actually didn't want to discuss their contributions.
Of course the things said above do not hold true for for a big number of contributors.
The same thing thing in the forums. A lot of people do provide very valuable answers but often not discuss matters when points are already given.
So having a discussion area, free of the rewards system's pressures might be a helpful addition. Something like a discussions corner. In Vienna we call this 'Kaffeehaus'
A place where you post some free thought where you don't have to justify the minimum blog reward points, where you don't have to apply the care expected in drafting a blog, etc..
Just freestyle discussion on useful or not so useful topics.
regards,
anton

JCO conn. for WAS 6.40 trial install (EP 6.0 SP9 download from SDN)

Hello,
I have a question regarding JCO connections for web-dynpro example/tutorials. I have installed WAS 6.40 sneak preview from EP 6.0 SP9 download from SDN. Installation instruction says: Choose "No SLD available"
but the web-dynpro example/tutorial asks to create JCO connections by going to web-dynpro -> content admin..etc on http:<host>:50000..Here, all the tabs relating to creating JCO connections appear to be "protected" on my screen. so I can't do anything further. By going to http:<host>:50000/sld, I also tried to add SLD server..but that is not helping. There is some "import" button, but which CIM file (in which folder etc) am i supposed to import for a simple test system? What are the steps for a bare minimum setup so that I can use the WAS 6.20 system at work-place as my backend & try out the web-dynpro examples? Do I really need SLD setup? Where is documentation about all this after one installs the WAS 6.40 JAva? I was expecting it somewhere at least in the eclipse IDE help-documentation..None of the web-dynpro tutorials explain this !
thanks

Netweaver on linux - download from SDN

Hello Kathleen,
Is this new Linux download (maxdb or db2) any different - with any additional functionality - from the DVD's that have been available for some time on sap knowledge-shop (www.sap.com/shop) ?
Also, I downloaded the NW4_TestDrive.iso_Part_a* files onto my windows 2000 pc. Then burnt a dvd with all 5 files. Then used this dvd on my linux machine and entered the following command:
cat NW4_TestDrive.iso_Part_a* > /tmp/NW4_TestDrive.iso
(ie, I created a single big .iso file in /tmp directory)
but then how do I use this NW4_TestDrive.iso ? I assume i need to do something like this:
mount -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom /tmp/NW4_TestDrive.iso
But when I enter this command, i am getting an error - something like "...not a block device ..." Where am I going wrong ? Where can find any installation document/help/faq up-front, ie before being able to use the single .iso file ?
to use this single .iso file, do I really need to burn a dvd? If so, can I do that in windows 2000 environment & use the dvd in linux env? Why are all these details left out from SDN? why couldnt there be any installation instructions provided in a separate small downloadable file?
I need help !!
thanks

Hello Anil,
unfortunately I do not have access to a Linux system right now to verify my suggestion, but I think you should rather try the following command:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 /tmp/NW4_Testdrive.iso /mnt/<dir>
of course replacing <dir> with an actual unused mount point on your system.

Why is the format of my posting on SDN forum getting messed up?

Hi,
I have a nicely formatted message in Word as usual but when I post it, or do preview, it gets messed up. This is the first time it is happening to me but I have seen other postings like that.
I don't think anyone will read such messge posting. Any help to get it properlyformatted as I post?
Thanks

Yes, I agree that Martin is very courageous and we are lucky to have him on our team and in the community and advocating community needs.
But to your other point:
It seems sometime that you are working for a 20 staff startup and not a Software giant like SAP AG.
You know Olivier, historically SDN did start like a startup (with about that size of a team group as I recall). And I hate to have to remind us of this but sometimes when you are small you are much more agile, responsive, efficient. But that is also because in those early days the "platform" team (our SDN IT) was dedicated to our community needs only, although of course we were a comparatively small community back then.
To further be candid, there are certain elements that get lost or displaced when you become a big, successful community although you can be certain that there remain some of the "original" crew enhanced with newer excellent additions (think Laure, Martin, Moshe, for example).
And core values haven't changed: (connect, contribute, collaborate). But logistics certainly have changed and we all are painfully aware of the shortcomings.
It is art and science to maintain a healthy community as a community grows. From my life experience living in a co-operative (15 years) there are cycles to the life of a community and if a community doesn't evolve and change it eventually implodes.
A lot of its fate is in the hands of its members.
That means the participants are no less "responsible" than the governing body.
If the community "outlives" its purpose, it will shrivel and die.
To your "capacity planning" comment. When the community assets and capabilities were added- blogs to forums, wikis to blogs, thought was given to the environments that would (at the time they were selected) provide the best functions and services. Platforms, capabilities and demands for specific functions also evolve and change.
