Contest Activities and Points – Awarded and accumulated against your SAP Community ID logged into SAP Groups.

For Devtoberfest 2022 we will be having 4 weeks of activities during the month of October, and as you may or may not know, most of those activities allow you to earn points.  These points will be accumulated in our contest. (CONTEST OFFICIAL RULES HERE).  We also have an overview about taking part in the contest here: Devtoberfest Contest - SAP Community Groups

This table below includes a sample of some events that you can earn a badge with points associated. Once that badge is applied to your SAP Community ID you will be able to see your points status change on the “for fun only” Devtoberfest Gameboard.  More events will be published in future weeks of Devtoberfest, including a list after week 3 of a special group of 20 tutorials (Scavenger Hunt) as a Devtoberfest Mission with bonus points awarded if all 20 tutorials are completed.

@FredericGirod  -- of your missing badges I think they are all there now except the ABAP Package one. I've asked the team to investigate that one again.  Some of these very common tutorials have so many people that have completed them that back assigning badges takes a while to run and seems like it might be timing out. But we'll keep running them as long as we see anyone has some missing.

@ALEJONO  - looks like we have all of your badges assigned now except for the Create the ABAP Trial User one. I reported that to the tutorial team to follow up on.  But others seem to be there now.

Hi @josh_bentley  and @thomas_jung,

I completed this week all topics and my total points 7835 but expected 8385. Difference of 550 points. I hope petoberfest points 1250 also considered by seeing the total. I know, have old badge for tutorial 'Create an SAP BTP ABAP Environment Trial User' completed in past 175 points, may still it might not be considered. Still 375 points missing, please check the calculation. Verified, all badges are available in my reputation link

A little sad, that the live sessions gives you points.. as I'm not able to attend those during my working hours. 😐

 

Nevertheless having a lot of fun right now

@Florian - you don't have to join live to earn the points or enjoy the session.  All live sessions are available on YouTube for watching any time you want.  Then there is a small questionnaire you complete to answer questions about the content in the session in order to earn the points. Those that join the sessions live have no advantage over those that watch it later.  You have until the end of October to watch and earn the points at your leisure.

I have a list of those (again the high volume ones) and have reported them to the tutorial team.  They are working on it and we should hopefully see those arrive on our accounts early next week.

Hello, 

Is the "Test yourself" question on Tools to Manage and Access the SAP HANA Cloud, SAP HANA Database correct?

I think the answer is SAP HANA Cockpit but is not working....

Any idea?

 

Thanks and regards!

@Julio ; SAP HANA Cockpit is one of the correct answers. There are other as well, please try again with multiple correct answers!

Hello @thomas_jung,

I have completely solved all tasks for weeks 1 and 2, and should therefore have a total score of 16335 points on the gameboard, but I currently have a score of 15810 points. As of today, there are 76 badges to be achieved in connection with Devtoberfest, but I have only received 73 of 76 badges. After a close check, I could see that I am missing the following 3 badges along with points, although I have already solved the tasks. Can you please check this and send me an update?

I solved the Create Your First ABAP Console Application question with this answer - 

out->write( 'Hello SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment' ).

but it tells me "Sorry, that’s not quite right." 

Did I not understand the question or is the tutorial wrong?

Hi @TMNielsen ,

You will have to remove white space as said by @imancour. The answer will be

It is not syntactically correct though!

@Foxi we are aware of some badges that didn't get assigned if you had already completed the tutorial before Devtoberfest.  The team is working on these. I believe that all but one from week 1 is now corrected.  The rest, including several from week 2, are being worked on.

@TMNielsen - for technical issues with the tutorials you really shouldn't post those here.  The chances the authors or other topics experts will see it within this forum is very slight.  Better to either use the Provide Feedback option in the tutorial itself or post in the appropriate Community Q&A Forum for this topic.

Question 11 in crossword puzzle shows 11 characters in the graphic whereas in the question it says (4,9) which equals 13 characters. Should we follow the graphic or the question? Please confirm

@muralidhar2796  - yes it is 13 - two words (no space) 4 letters in the first word and 9 in the second.

Hi @thomas_jung 

About the special event

I think the number between parenthesis in the question, it have relationship to the cryp line. Is it correct? If yes, I think there are missing numbers like 1,6,7 and other numbers are duplicated 11,4...

 

Any tip to resolve some questions like 'beret model'? It is very difficult for not english native speakers.

Thans and Regards

muralidhar2796
Explorer

Hi @jmtrujillogalan 

The numbers between the parenthesis denote the number of characters that the answer has. (11) denotes the answer has 11 characters and (4,9) denotes the answer is two words with one word of 4 characters and other of 9 characters and (2-4) denotes the answer is two words separated by hyphen(-). Hope it is clear. 

About the beret model, just google what beret means! You can easily crack! Cheers 😊
