Missing history in ABAP Development forum

When I look at the main page of the ABAP Development forum, I only see two pages of history. When I look at a sub-forum, I see lots of pages. Is it just me? (I have set my display to 50 items per page.)
Just noticed - same behavior here in Community Discussions.

For me it is still only 4 pages (I'm on 25 per page) in "Community Discussions". However in the sub forums e.g. "Suggestions and Comments" I can browse to older pages, as opposed to my previous statement.
It's not really a problem from my point of view, as the response time seems to be slightly better.

Reg: History of ABAP development objects

Dear Experts
Is there any function module or table available to get the information of created, change and Version information of both z and standard abap objects?

Hi Hatsan,
Thank You for the reply,
I tried that table but when i give an abap report name or function module name it is showing 'No Table entries found'.
I also found out that by using the table TRDIR we can get the history of reports and TFDIR to get the history of function module.
it will be good to find the correct source in which these entries are maintained ie with tables information.

Separate ABAP sub-forum for ABAP HR developments?

Dear Moderators
Can we have a separate category under ABAP for ABAP-HR developments?
This would be helpful for many ABAP-HR issues to be addressed at the earliest and also search a solution in the relevent forums only.
Please give it a thought.
Regards,
Rupesh Mhatre

Moved to suggestions & comments.
This request has some history:
Separate ABAP-HR Forum?
Moderators cannot decide that, it's up to SCN administrators. I believe they want to see enough demand for a sub forum before creating it, and no good arguments against.
Personally I'm undecided. We don't have sub-forums for all other SAP modules. I know HR/HCM is technically different in some ways, but don't know enough about it to really make a call.

ABAP General forum - 22 pages of posts in one day - wtf ?

I don't have a project right now, so I was perusing the ABAP forum for whatever looked interesting.
I noticed 22 pages of posts just today 11 Feb. With 15 posts per page that's 330 post/replies in one day!
WTF is up with that, a little too crazy isn't it ?

The turnover in the ABAP Development forums has always been fast (hence also the temptation to duplicate post, instead of following up with more infos from having made some headway on your own while waiting for answers)...
Since a few days, there has been a steady increase and it is very busy at the moment.
I am not sure what the equilibrium thread-per-minute rate is before people reach the search-first-coeffecient, but it is approaching hopefully.
I am trying to look on the bright side of it...
Cheers,

Save ABAP development history - Recommendations?

Hi,
We are analyzing the best way to save our ABAP development history. We
need SAP's comments on the following possible solution for our needs.
The possible scenario is as follows. The complete development history
is situated in our project development system. To ensure its (dev. history) future
existence we would like to export it and import it into our production
system, plus set the STMS-parameter VERS_AT_IMP to ALWAYS.
In this way we will save the dev. history from day zero and create a
version master on the production system for the future. Future system
copies will contain the dev. history but a version change will only
occur when you set a program into production.
This way we will safely contain a version master.
Questions:
1. Is the above scenario feasible?
2. What consequences mite we encounter when importing the dev. history
into the productions system?
Regards
Erik Elvhage

Link to Developer forums missing

I have previously posted topics in 'Developer Forums -> Software Development 101', but am unable to locate a link to the Developer Forums from the Discussions page. In order to get back to the developer forums I must click 'My Posts' on the side bar. Am I missing something?

The only way to get to the Developer Forums group is via the top-leve Mac OS X Technologies forum: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=162

What happen to julius thread in ABAP DEVELOPMENT?

It was reformatted by the new 5000 characters per post limit
I am busy working on a solution to split them and move each part to its own respecting sub-development forum - but have not got to it yet. Sorry for being slow.
The FAQ and memorable discussions thread in the Security Forum is affected as well, but there is only one forum... :-((
Any creating ideas on how to fix that one (other than removing information from it)?
Cheers,
Julius

Actually it is happening since couple of week. Might be you have found yourself in this situation now.
Also there are two thread already open on the same. Perhaps you missed them.
Improper display of threads
And outstandingly "what happen to julius thread in ABAP DEVELOPMENT?" Nice Subject Line
Perhaps, It looks [Line of the day|Re: Line of the day!] !!
P.S. Subject tempered (Or Perhaps corrected)....;-)
Anyways,
@ Julius: Since there is 5000 Characters Limit has been introduced for keeping the forum neat, undersized and informative as much as possible rather than long bulky programs.
But My Question is What about the Programs and Threads which had already been posted in last 5-6 Years of SDN(now SCN)?
I can see all the previous threads also have been affected!
So Does SAP having any Programmer In their team of Michael Goeck or David Branan(Who is working from behind the scene ) to introduced the restriction of 5K chars based on Date?!?

ABAP Development and "End User License"

Hi all,
I'm happy to join to SDN!!!
I newbe in the forum, and therefore I don't know if I post in the right section.
I'm a Netweaver Architect and ABAP Developer.
In the past I worked as java developer, and with other programming languages.
I have a doubt: is it possible (or forbidden by SAP AG??) to develop an ABAP package (which, obiousvly, contains Z / Y Abap objects) and apply an "End User License" on it, i.e. on the ABAP code written? (I mean that the copryrights are mine, and I give an "End User License" to my customers (that buy the license), in order to get and run my abap code). I would avoid to sell my Abap package, but, if possibile, I would only give it according a "Use License".
May I do this thing without any problems, or have I to consider other aspects, like ask to SAP to reserve a namespace, or obtain SAP Netweaver certification for my ABAP solution, or other things?
(Infact the "End User License" that I mean is different from "SAP End User License")
Please, let me know your opinion and how or who could solve my matter.
Many thanks to all.
Best Regards,
Albert

ABAP development license for integration certification

Hello to all the forum members,
My company is interested in certification some ABAP development that was developed for one of our costumers.
The development was done using a developer license of the costumer and as we understood, ABAP development license is a pre-requisite to the integration certification process in order to receive your own name space.
Could you please let me know if the costumer developer license is enough for us to start with the integration certification process.
Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,
I also have something I want to present as "Powered by NetWeaver".
Maybe we can combine forces and marketing?
please contact me at: [email protected]
I will call you back.
BTW, I live now in Canada...
thanks,

ABAP development thru portal

I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this but I could not think of another one to post into. Our company wants to start using the portal to for accessing SAP as opposed to fat client. I am trying to work with se80 and I find that it is not as good as the fat client. one thing I am finding is that when to click on a function, in the fat client you would be taken to the code for the function but in the portal it does not. It seems like delevoping thru the portal would really be a challange. Is anybody doing development thru the portal? are there tricks that you do or is there special setup that you do in order to do development?
thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
The Portal is meant to replace the SAP GUI from the user's standpoint. The idea is that users would be able to access all applications (SAP or non SAP) through a single (web-based) user interface instead of having to log on individually to each of the systems.
However, this does not apply to the developers. Developers will still have to do ABAP development using the SAP GUI and dynpro development using the NWDS (for Java Web Dynpro) and SAP WAS (for ABAP Web Dynpro). This is not going to go away.
Hope this helps in clarifying your doubts.

From an ABAP developer to a functional consultant

Hi,
I need some advices to help me improve my work as a junior functional consultant. I have been an ABAP developer for 2 - 3 years and then I moved to the role of functional consultant.
I have read that there is a higher probability to become successful as a functional consultant if you have a business background rather than a technical background...I have been moved to a junior functional consultant role for more than a year - I've been reading books on configuration and functional process flows and unfortunately the assignments on the project I'm working on are mostly specific developments rather than configuration of standard flows which gives me litlle exposure...
What can I do to improve my functional skills and is it true that it is more difficult to become a functional consultant if we have a technical backgorund?
Thanking in advance anyone who would reply.

What can I do to improve my functional skills
Gain experience and be open-minded. It's pretty much the only way to improve your problem solving and thus your "functional" skills.
Is it true that it is more difficult to become a functional consultant if we have a technical backgorund?
I don't think it can be expressed that vastly. I would personally always choose someone with a technical background over the one who talks about "Business" and essentially doesn't really know what he's talking about...
By the way, have you tried the Career forums?:

Code Formatting Instructions for Developer Forums

Although this topic only applies to the two Developer forums, the need for some upfront code formatting instructions in those forums is desperate. There may be hundreds of threads which include one or more messages on this subject. In my case alone, I've posted at least a dozen messages each containing these three lines:
Paste your code here.
Of course a quick search of either Dev forum on the keys +code formatting+ will find the above right away, but those who need help the most don't know code requires special formatting so won't be making that search. For the same reason, neither the excellent instructions in the User Tips Library nor the pertinent threads in this forum are likely to be discovered before they're needed. The +Help & Terms of Use+ FAQ might seem to be a good place for the instructions, but this has been proposed so many times before I'm sure it will never happen. The need is confined to the Dev forums afterall.
I think the solution would be a permanent post (similar to +How to Post a new Topic+ in this forum) at the top of both Dev forums. I don't think most developers want to see instructions on any other topic at the top of the forums, but a brief note titled +How to Post Code+ might make everyone's life easier.
Assuming most of the other developers agree, how could we make this happen?

Thanks so much for helping with this, Nubz!
Joerg's instructions are excellent. I refer to them often and I've had them bookmarked since I found Apple Discussions last year. The new Code section is great!! Very clear!
Now we just need to find a way to get users to that page. Our problem has never been with users who are interested enough in Apple Discussions to visit the Tips Library. The unformatted code is coming from first-time users--not necessarily novice coders, but programmers of all skill levels who aren't coming here to learn about the forums or relate to the community. These folks are focused on their current project, may have found no answers anywhere else, and arrive here with tunnel vision. Often there's a language problem as well.
The newly arrived OP will often start the thread with a page of unformatted code. Those of us with eyes used to filling in the missing brackets, indentation etc. can sometimes decypher the mess, but usually we need to give formatting instructions and ask the OP to repost. The frequency of this scenario has been increasing. Lately I've been posting those instructions almost once every day.
Of course that's a good sign! We've been giving good service down there and the number of newcomers seems to be reflecting that. A big percentage have turned into regulars, so I think we have a very healthy forum. It's just the formatting cycle gets old, and the time and bytes add up too.
My suggestion is this:
One yellow moderator announcement that stays in the first position on the topic page for both dev forums. The subject line is:
To format code: Paste your code here
The user doesn't even need to open the message. Only developers will see this. No change to the page header is needed. If the user does open the message, a link will be provided to Joerg's tips.

Minisap installation for abap development

Hi everyone. I'd like to install minisap in order to learn ABAP development. But I didn't manage to install it yet. Could anyone help me or give instructions on intallation or other mean to practise my learning in ABAP.
thanks.

Hi kenfo2011,
ABAP is not difficult to learn if you already have programing experience. In fact I find the language much cleaner and the utilities and tools much more efficient than many mainstream dynamic languages. To begin with ABAP, there are many many tutorials, forums, blogs and books that you will find online. As for actually getting to the interface you have two possibilities. SAP offers a development server you can install on your own system. I do not have the link on hand and it is somewhat cumbersome to install and setup the database, but you can find this on SAP page.
However, the better option is, if you currently work at a place that uses SAP, ask the administrator to get you a development KEY for their DEV, test or training systems. This way not only will you have access to execute your own ABAP code on the server, but also access to business data to report on (development server does not provide business transactions). If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.
For your first program of course:
WRITE:/ 'HELLO WORLD!'.
Good Luck and Regards,
sifter
