SAP Screen Personas Performance in the real world

I've read the blogs, Personas are amazing the user does much less clicking, etc, but in the real world is anyone using this in production, for a widescale deployment?
I've tried this in my system and although it's cute, and at first people have fun clearing all the fields they never used, I felt the performance was severely lacking, and worst of all is that it inherits all the problems of SAP GUI for HTML, specfically bad formating. I don't use SAP GUI for HTML because some transactions don't work well in it, namely FBCJ, CV01N, etc. Do you feel this problem is fixed by Personas?
It's the same as NWBC, awesome, great, but when I try to use it in production... the consistency just isn't there. I need a reliable GUI and both NWBC and Personas crash one too many times.
Am I seeing this wrong? Are you succesfully using this in production?
Best regards

If you compare Personas to native SAPgui in unaltered transactions, then for sure Personas comes off worse. Its interface into the backend system is the HTMLgui, which isn't as responsive as a native SAPgui, and then it adds another layer on top. That layer is getting more efficient all the time, but still in most cases Personas is a little slower than HTMLgui.
But that's missing the point of Personas. Look at this blog - Simplifying a multi-screen transaction with Personas. Here I simplify a transaction that requires a user to do a lot of clicking around to find all the information they need. This can take 30-60 seconds to get to everything. My Personas flavour takes a little while to render - maybe 5-6 seconds. That feels a little sluggish at first sight, until you realise it has everything the user needs in one screen with not further clicking or scrolling. Slow to render? Yes. Slower that the equivalent in SAPgui? Absolutely not. Being conservative, this saves our users 20-25 seconds each time they run the transaction. Automation is the key.
Yes we are running this in production, and our users love it. Performance is not an issue for us or them. We have only 80-90 users using this live at the moment. There are customers with 10x that many Personas live in production.

Performance in the real world

Choosing between a 15" 17 Quad Core 2.0 or a 13" i7 Dual Core i7 for regular business use. I have a 2006 MBP 2.16 speed machine and I am sure that the 2011 13 or 15 will run much faster. But my current 2006 MPB has dedicated graphics and I wonder how important that is for using Powerpoint, etc. I do not do any heavy graphics/photo work. Mostly just office apps. No games.
Whatever model I end up with is going to be hooked up to an external monitor. I would also likely increase the ram from 4 to 8 gigs.
Comments welcome!

Not really in your case. But if you plan on using this computer for a while it may be worth thinking about what your future needs might become. It never hurts to be prepared even for a future you don't presently anticipate.

Discuss SAP NetWeaver in the Real World Series

Hello SAP NetWeaver Platform forum denizens! I, Jennifer Lankheim, am a senior editor of SDN.
Our recently launched series, "SAP NetWeaver in the Real World" has generated some heated Letters to the Editor, as it were, so the SDN editorial team thought it would be a great idea to open a forum where SDN community members could discuss the series. For example, do you think there was a better technological approach for Iridium Motors? Do you agree or disagree with any statements made in the articles?
We, the editors, would also love to hear what you think about the series in general - has it captured your interest? Would you like to see more SDN content like this in the future? Would you like to see REAL case studies, detailing REAL implementations? Let us know!
Cheers,
Jennifer Lankheim

How do I send Firefox information about It's helpful for Mozilla's engineers to be able to measure how Firefox behaves in the real world. The Telemetry feature

It's helpful for Mozilla's engineers to be able to measure how Firefox behaves in the real world. The Telemetry feature provides this capability by sending performance and usage info to us. As you use Firefox, Telemetry measures and collects non-personal information, such as memory consumption, responsiveness timing and feature usage. It then sends this information to Mozilla on a daily basis and we use it to make Firefox better for you.
Telemetry is an opt-in feature. Bring it to me

Hi Terrancecallins,

New Enterprise Manager Book on Advanced EM Techniques for the Real World

Dear Friends,
I am pleased to say my first EM book can be ordered now.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control: Advanced Techniques for the Real World
[http://www.rampant-books.com/book_1001_advanced_techniques_oem_grid_control.htm]
Please let your colleagues and friends and clients know – it is the first book in the world to include EM 11g Grid Control. It is a great way for people to understand the capabilities of EM.
Oracle’s Enterprise Manager Grid Control is recognized as the IT Industry’s leading Oracle database administration and management tool. It is unrivalled in its ability to monitor, manage, maintain and report on entire enterprise grids that comprise hundreds (if not thousands) of Oracle databases and servers following an approach that is consistent and repeatable.
However, Enterprise Manager Grid Control may seem daunting even to the most advanced Oracle Administrator. The problem is you know about the power of Enterprise Manager but how do you unleash that power amongst what initially appears to be a maze of GUI-based screens that feature a myriad of links to reports and management tasks that in turn lead you to even more reports and management tasks?
This book shows you how to unleash that power.
Based on the Author’s considerable and practical Oracle database and Enterprise Manager Grid Control experience you will learn through illustrated examples how to create and schedule RMAN backups, generate Data Guard Standbys, clone databases and Oracle Homes and patch databases across hundreds and thousands of databases. You will learn how you can unlock the power of the Enterprise Manager Grid Control Packs, PlugIns and Connectors to simplify your database administration across your company’s database network, as also the management and monitoring of important Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and the nuances of all important real-time change control using Enterprise Manager.
There are other books on the market that describe how to install and configure Enterprise Manager but until now they haven’t explained using a simple and illustrated approach how to get the most out of your Enterprise Manager. This book does just that.
Covers the NEW Enterprise Manager Grid Control 11g.
Regards,
Porus.

3G vs 3Gs in the 'real world'?

HI I currently have the iphone 3G and am due an upgrade soon. I have no idea what phone to go for if any, as I don't think there's any other phone worth having other than the iphone. Therefore the only logical upgrade is the 3Gs. I know all the spec differences on paper, but what are they like in the 'real world'. Has anyone had both and can tell me if there is any noticeable difference (other than the video camera)? The thing I'm most interested in is the speed. Is there a real difference in apps and on the internet?
Cheers, Toby

I know its been awhile since the origional post, but i thought i'd post my 2 cents anyway.
For speed, i've noticed a big difference between the two. I sold my 3G to my dad so i've compared the two, and pretty much every aspect of it is faster, and more fluent, like scrolling between pages of apps, or moving apps around.
Also GPS searching facebook are faster as well from what i noticed.
And like the other person mentioned, more gigabytes, so you can get more space.
Also the video recording is nice, considering most phones have it anyway, now you can have it on your iphone as well.
im sure you won't regret getting the 3Gs if you loved the 3G

SAP Screen Personas 3.0 - Inconsistent behaviours and features after installation

Hi,
Our company installed SAP Screen Presonas 3.0. We followed up Personas installation OSS notes and instalaltion check list.
The Personas Health Check displays no issue (see below).
However, we do get inconsistent behaviors from Personas 3.0:
- Assign background button, Stretch button, Upload button don't work
- Unassign image isn't possible
- Fill color button and Bold icon don't work with a theme assigned to the transaction
- Images and buttons aren't aligned when a flavor is displayed (compared to when a flavor is edited)
- the link to personas via Chrome through https doens't work any more (after update of kernel at patch 22).
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks,
Christophe

Some of those, particularly the image issues, are familiar. Others not - I've never had issues with Chrome, for example. Does https work in other browsers? That would be very strange. Not working in all browsers sounds like a kernel installation issue.
There's a newer kernel now - pl24 was released just a day or two ago. There should be a new Personas client note tomorrow. I suggest applying both of those to see if any of your issues go away. If not, ask here again, but also create OSS messages for them to make sure they don't get lost.

Error message when switching SAP screen personas flavors

Hi,
After we made some screen personas flavors, when we switch one flavor to another, we got an error message like "Error: Unexpected behavior has been detected, connection is shut down. Login again."
According to a previous thread,
Screen Personas: Error: Unexpected behavior has been detected :
He said when he upgraded to Personals 2.0 SP01, the problem was solved.
But we are already using the latest version Personals 2.0 SP01 and Silverlight 5.
Does anybody got some solution?
We appreciate your help!

Hi Qiang,
Please make sure that you have the updated version of personas by implementing the respective service pack note mentioned here.
https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/notes/1964257
Also make sure that you target system kernel patch is not very old.
Lastly, there are some pre-requisite kernel notes which have to be implemented.

SAP Screen Personas problem in a script for FS00(G/L Account Display) screen

We are facing a problem when we are developing a simple script for FS00(G/L Account Display) in SAP Screen Personas. Let me give you a brief of the problem:
We have taken two text fields in the dashboard from which the values will be copied and will be pasted in corresponding text fields of G/L Account and Company Code in FS00 TCode.
When we are giving both the values, then script is working fine and it will navigate to the customized Personas screen where all the details are shown.
But when we are leaving any one/both fields blank and execute the script option, then the pop to enter G/L Account/Company Code is coming:
If we are setting the basic FS00 TCode view as default then after the pop-up we are able to enter the respective G/L account number or company code and everything is running fine.
If we are setting our customized personas screen as default screen, then the pop-up keeps on appearing and therefore we are not able to give the inputs (G/L account or company code).
And even if somehow manage to get rid of the error and enter the correct GL account and Company Code then also the details are not displayed. The F4 search help to pick the G/L account number and company code is not working, somehow the Personas screen seems to be locked here.
Please let us know if someone has already encountered this type of situation before and what should be the solution of this.

Hi,
You could ensure that both of the text fields are not empty on your 'dashboard' before executing the FS00 tcode. This would negate the popup from ever appearing.
To do this you can use the "IF <text field control ID> Is Empty" statement in your script and then output a custom error message to another text box if the condition is true. then use an "IF <text field control ID> Is NOT Empty" statement to copy the value/s execute the FS00 tcode if the condition is true.
Now if you're going to check multiple fields for entries before executing the FS00 you'll have to get a little more creative and do something like I did in one my scripts (thanks again to Steve Rumsby for the tips) and create a 'check field' where you can enter values for items checked successfully and then use a little bit of javascript to count up the checks and check the result before executing the next part of the script.
Another idea is to check for the existence of the popup and navigate past it in your script, to do this you can use the "IF <control ID> control exists" statement.
Either one should work.
