Hi Coffee Corner! Maybe you know challenges like '100 Days of Code' or '66 Day Of Data'. These challenges try to establish habits to do things regularly and consistent to make progress in topics you like or need to know. I started some days ago '100 Days of SAP Analytics' - #100DaysOfSAPAnalytics as a kind of challenge over the summer (20 weeks) to read at least one SAP Community blog a day about a (let's summarise it as) SAP Analytics. --> Initial Tweet As I'm more in strategy than in implementation of SAP Analytics my focus is possibly very broad. From BW, BusinessObjects BI, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Data Warehouse Cloud going to HANA, Data Intelligence, Machine Learning, Conversational AI to topics like SAP IQ or SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting. My experience is I find sometimes time and sometimes not to read blogs. Sometimes you see 5 interesting blogs published on one day but your day is already full to find time read all of them. Then possibly some of them lands in my bookmarks and stay there for a long time. This is especially true for longer blogs. In general, blogs help me a lot not just to understand what technologies are for but rather what can be done and when does it make sense to use or discuss them. For me blogs are very useful. But it doesn't help to know there is a blog. I need it in my head to connect it with my knowledge, my experience and other new information about these topic. Therefore I decide to read at least one blog a day (at least Monday to Friday) and send it out via social media (Twitter) to share this. This challenge even forces me to work with SAP Community blogs more intense than just reading one a day. I maintain a list with all the blogs and try to find the best (from my perspective) about this topic to make it more worth to read it. So I'm a lot in discussion with my self and read sometimes several blogs about the topic and try not to send out something what is already covered or give better insights by other blogs. My first 4 blogs are: Analytics in S/4HANA – real shape of embedded analytics and beyond embedded analytics   Data management concepts and techniques in SAP HANA Cloud SAP HANA Machine Learning with ABAP Managed Database Procedures in SAP BW/4HANA SAP (Sybase) IQ – the hidden treasure … ... more to come What I also would like is to find and read more good blogs about end user experiences as most of the blogs I currently have on my list are from SAP. Would be happy to see you following the hashtag #100DaysOfSAPAnalytics on Twitter and comment or make recommendations. Happy to hear what you think about such a challenge, if you know from similar challenges or if you see very good blogs about SAP Analytics you would recommend. ... View more

Hi, my colleague told me this morning that our CIO proclaimed, that we do no Software Development. 'We are SAP Customers and only our consultants code. We just manage the applications.' 'Ok', I thought. And how are we supposed to get things going? Hmm, actually it's just a wording thing. We do not code, we customize on code level. And if we ever(almost daily) encounter tougher nuts, we compose some macros to a bigger macro. But we don't code(officially). Can You think of more ways to mask Your Software Development? Give it an unsuspicious name. How about: Talking prose to the computer(For most of You ABAP is like PROse). Order the bytes around/Dominate the bytes. Manage the information flows(I know, I know, it's data, but information sounds more manageresque). <please add some more> Manage business processes  ( TammyPowlas ) Quantum mechanics.

Hello everyone, Here's the definition for "Hobby" from Miriam-Webster's site: Small Old World Falcon What a person does outside of his routine, especially for relaxation. In this post I would like to focus on the second definition 🙂 When the kids were younger I had less time for hobbies but in the last few years they became more independent and that freed more time for me to do things that I like. Also, in the last few years we all had more time at home and it was essential to keep everyone in the family busy so the time stuck together went by nicely:). My hobbies include: Cooking- I've been cooking since I was little. Recently I was into making dreams come true where I made my childhood's favourite snacks that you would buy in a store such as chips (also sweet potato) , Bisli (spicy fried pasta snack) and also other finger food such as Falafel, Hummus, Pita bread, Sushi and more. You can check out the pictures and other great stuff that people made in this very popular and tasty thread.         Carpentry- I was fortunate to take a carpentry course recently where we made unique shelves. I also bought my own tools so I have the flexibility to create more things at home. I love working with recycled wood which turns things that were doomed to be in the garbage to things that make my kids happy. Sports- Sports really makes feel better and calmer. I love the most a long walk on the beach but also my 6 KM outdoor run once in every two days also makes me very happy. Poetry- Sometimes in the right mood I love to write to have a souvenir of a special moment or feeling. When I was younger I wrote a daily diary and it was really good for the soul. Dancing- I love closing my eyes when in a festival or a party, concentrate on the music. Well, these are (also) my hobbies? What are yours? What makes you happy? Feel free to share in a reply just the name of the hobby, a picture, a couple of lines or even tips for first steps for other community members interested in it.   ... View more

We are just opening the doors, sweeping the floors and cleaning the windows. We thought it might be nice to bring a familiar area here so everyone can test things out a bit and get a feel for this new area of functionality we've added to the SAP Community. This area is our "Groups" or you might hear us refer to it as "Group Hub" which is the vendor term for it. This is new functionality, new features for the SAP Community and we'll not be customising it beyond what the platform offers but it already offers a lot so we are excited to try it out and see how things go! Hope to see a lot of you diving in and stopping by for a little break from the day to day here in our new Coffee Corner!       ... View more

OK - somewhere around here is a brief list of what I do.  However it is missing the quantify.  This is not the first time I've been asked nor will it be the last time.   So how do you quantify what you do? The first metric is easy - you think: On time, under budget. Really is it so easy?  There are a million and one things you are doing and that project gets stuck in the middle.  Sometimes it stays top priority.  Some times something on fire jumps above it.  So unless you plan on increasing the hours you work every week, that usually doesn't work.  If you are project manager on that team you have a bit more control.  You can advocate where your project fits and get stuff moved around so your resources stay your resources Under budget: Well I always take my estimates and double them.   Then I keep track of all the "little tweaks" people want to make on the way.   Then I let my project manager (if I have one - sometimes that's me) and my boss of what will be pushed out based upon these small changes. Next metric: Happy internal customers. Oh boy, see the comment above.  Nine times out of ten they don't get everything in version 1.  And they are changing the way they do something.   Are they happy?  Usually not.  "The old way I did things was so much better"  - Yes, I hear that. Metric: Use something New - I learned this year: I use something new that I learned that year.   Sure, I love this one.   I have to have a project that will allow me to use something new I answer questions - support very quickly: Again go back to one - It depends on where it falls.  I do let them know it's on the list.   And the best Metric of all time: Lines of code...   Number of programs... Yes, I never use that one. So do you have any suggests and/or not so great metric to add?  I'd love to see them.  It's probably going to take me to times past or future metrics.  My answer to every single one of these is that it depends.   ...

Hello Everyone, Today I would like to raise for discussion and sharing one of my most favorite topics: Cooking! (food:)). Since I was 5-6 years old I started cooking. I was amazed by the ability to make the treats and the food I liked the most, on my own. Although my skills were quite limited at the time I really enjoyed cooking:). I didn't abandon this passion and over the last few years I took it one step further and started making  my favorite snacks (that you would usually buy in a bag) and finger food like: Bissli- Spicy fried pasta Falafel- Fried chickpea mixture  Shakshuka- Tomato sauce with poached eggs  Hummus- I think I don't need to explain this one:) Sweet Potato Chips Pita bread I was even fortunate to conduct a virtual cooking workshop for approx. 200+ people and I was relived that the Pita bread came out just as expected :). I'd be happy to share with you the recipes if you'd be interested :). But more importantly I would love to hear what is your favorite dish that you enjoy cooking or snack:). ... View more

Distinguish Members if this forum, I would like to pose the question of embedded analytics in SAP S/4.  I’ve been using the BW component in SAP S/4 with SAC and it has worked a treat.  With the embedded objects and the ability to do real-time reporting using SAP Calculation views on BW  as well as using persisted ADSO it has been a good solution.  But does anybody have any blogs or info from SAP that this is to remain or will it be phased out in later releases in favour of CDS views? or better still any up to date blogs promoting the usage of BW embedded analytics. thanks all Suhail ...

So I was thinking....  Dangerous think that is...  Thinking.  I try not to do it much it hurts my head.  I was thinking if I was going to put a name to what I did what would it be?   You know those fun boxes you check off  or drop downs or...  whatever form your filling out.    So I thought it would be a fun funny thread to help people out with the perfect title for their job.   I'll start - and you just put anything you want down.   Really, it will be fun. Ready to have fun???   Give me a title. I feed, water, and love my pets. (dogs, cats and horses) I walk with my dogs. I am on social Networks almost daily. I can create tiles, libraries, and groups in Fiori. This isn't daily. I can change security settings and track down security issues.  Not daily. I answer support calls, emails, IM - not daily. I develop. I create workflows. I create/run both functional and unit test. I understand the linkages between different modules. I'm understanding some third party software. I gather specifications and give solutions. I am always learning. I go to lots of meetings. I keep track of my time. I find possible solutions that have been created by SAP. I do configuration. I work with connections to our system.    I've played with OPD, BRF+, and others I schedule transports Trackdown support issues I'm sure someday my brain will explode What would you call me?   Be nice!   Here are some of the things I thought of Dog Walker/S*t kicker configuration development design thinker  Chief cook and bottle washer Know nothing and a tiny bit of most things And of course  - an idiot...   But that isn't very nice.   So list some things about you.   And I'll come up with some interesting names and so will others.   Or you could always just simply give everyone a title.       ...

Hi Everyone, A couple of weeks I browsed through the Coffee Corner threads and I saw @TammyPowlas 's  post " A happy day for Kansas!". Reading it made me happy for Tammy and I started thinking about my happy moments. I then realized that thinking of happy moments makes me happy already:). I then thought how great it would be if we had a thread in the Coffee Corner where we share happy moments. In addition to spreading smiles across the globe, we would get to know each other better. I will start by sharing my most significant happy moments. My greatest source of pride and joy are my kids so of course my most significant happy moments would be related to them:) I remember the moment they were born, their first steps, their small and big achievements and simply their hugs. It's hard to focus on one special moment but a couple of days ago I saw them walking together (almost 5,7,8 years old) in the street holding hands, caring for each other. That exact moment  I felt like I really accomplished something in life.  Life is filled with minor and significant happy moments. Feel free to share whatever happy moment you feel like sharing. It could be SAP related moment as SAP recently celebrated its 50th anniversary but it could be also something that is hobby, travel, cooking related or whatever you feel like sharing. Looking forward to reading about your happy moments (both small and big)!:) ... View more

When I saw this question posted I thought about the Solar Winds debacle, where rogue code was "allowed" into a vendors delivery stream.  Then, when I thought about the complexities of SAP "transports" I thought no then well maybe. The original online poll closes in under 12 hours, by now, but you can see the content yourself if interested: @x0rz What is the probability of SAP being compromised for supply chain?
