Hello everyone, Do you want to see SAPUI5 Smart Controls (sap.ui.comp library) as part of OpenUI5? If yes, I’d be glad to hear your opinion on that. We had already enquiries via different channels (e.g. github). As this is huge undertaking and we have lots of open questions I’d be glad if you could share your experience and opinion on following questions: What are the typical use cases when you use smart controls? Which are the controls you use most from the library? Any control’s functionality in particular, that you find helpful? On the other hand, perhaps there are functionalities that you don't really need in your use cases. Apart from OData, do you have other backend protocols that you use? Did you have the need to use only the logic that analyzes OData annotations? For instance, because you utilized another rendering technology. Am I missing something in the list above? Please, add it in the comments. You can also check out this post for a bit more context. Thank you!   ... View more

For some of us the SAP Community started off way back in 2003/2004 as the SAP Developer Network (SDN). Later after the Business Objects Community and others merged together it became the SAP Community Network (SCN) - then in 2016 it simply became the SAP Community. I've personally seen a lot of changes to the environment over all these years but one thing has always remained constant - this is a place where you can come to ask questions, meet others and exchange knowledge. Over the years we've had things like "Blog it Forward" that let people introduce themselves to each other. We've also had over the years forum threads and things like that to say hello. We've even created some tutorials to help new comers as well as those like myself take more advantage of the community. Have you taken these 4 tutorials? Tour the SAP Community, Explore the various features of SAP Community, familiarize yourself with community guidelines, discover how to get the most out of your membership, and earn the Tour the Community badge. Ask and Answer Questions on SAP Community,  Want to ask questions on SAP Community, but not sure how to start? This tutorial will help you get to know the Questions and Answers section, processes and guidelines, so you can more easily gain and share knowledge. Writing and Publishing Blog Posts on SAP Community,  By taking this tutorial , you'll discover how to prepare and manage your blog posts on SAP Community, get tips for better blogging, and learn how to interact with readers. You'll also earn the Blogging Savvy badge. Update and Maintain Your SAP Profile at people.sap.com,  By taking this tutorial , you'll explore, set up, and manage the sections of your SAP profile (people.sap.com). You'll also earn the Profile Savvy badge. Would you be willing to introduce yourself to your fellow community members here? Me? Well I started my path into the SAP way back in 2002/2003 when my company told me to learn it so I could install it when I cam back from my project in Germany. I'm sure some noticed the odd bit about that statement. Needless to say I dove in and as luck would have it, SAP had just launched their beta of a Community (SDN) so coming from a web application background I felt at home to go figure things out. @gwolf Was actually one of the first people who helped me to figure things out, my question asking left a lot to be desired as I had no clue about terminology or anything else in the SAP world. Then it was a post by @qmacro about RSS and RFC's that really got me more comfortable and then I just went crazy sharing my experiences and learnings via the blog posts. How I started with SAP Web development… How I Started with SAP Web Development, Cont’d Becoming an SAP Web Developer, Part III Conclusions of the Web Developer integration into SAP… I started a series on BSP and "mini WAS" -  Mini me of WebAS 6.20 BSP / HowTo: Exploring BSP Development and the MiniWAS 6.20 BSP / HowTo: Exploring BSP Development and the MiniWAS 6.20 Part 2 BSP / HowTo: Exploring BSP Development and the MiniWAS 6.20 Part 3a BSP / HowTo: Exploring BSP Development and the MiniWAS 6.20 Part 3b BSP / HowTo: Exploring BSP Development and the MiniWAS 6.20 Part 4a BSP / HowTo: Exploring BSP Development and the MiniWAS 6.20 Part 4b BSP / HowTo: Exploring BSP Development and the MiniWAS 6.20 Part 5 Mini Me of WAS 6.20, the Saga continues…. I even presented at my first SAP TechEd event. BoF, TechEd Munich ’04 – RSS, HTTP and BSP So it's been a crazy start into the SAP world that resulted in me getting a job with SAP, learning that you don't just "install it" 😉 and now I have the pleasure of trying to help others day to day!

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.       ...

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

The longer it takes to get information, the longer it takes to make a decision. Business Content delivered with SAP Analytics Cloud improves that process. Partners and SAP have created packages to jump-start the implementation process by leveraging their real-world experiences with customers. Business Content includes visualizations, stories, KPIs, and models that map directly onto SAP solutions. These scenarios are aligned to specific departments, industries, or in some cases, both. Some Business Content is designed for the embedded analytics that comes with the Line of Business solution. Join this session to learn more about Business Content for SAP Analytics Cloud. Additionally, hear a recap of the SAP Sapphire & ASUG Accelerate Orlando conference. Bring your questions; we look forward to answering them.

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

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?

My favorite is dogs - basically because they live inside with me.  Provide great emotional support, and they train us really well.   My Piggy (Really a lab)  pounds on the floor with his foot when he wants me to get down and play or pet him.   If I ignore him - he then will mumble and grumble - the last try is barking at me.   Yes he rules!  He gives amazing hugs and will let me - on the occasion I need it - cry on him.  He knows all my secrets.   I'm de-aging him.   Instead of adding 1 year to his age on his birthday, I subtract one.  My cats do come in a close second place.  And yes I so lucky to have so many animals to love.  Honestly, I think they own me more than I do them. My worst - This is HARD.   Very hard to decide.   For me, even though I know they are good for the environment it is hornets.   Why?   I'm very allergic to them.  I've been known to calmly slow down and stop at the side of the road.  Next I do a little dance.   One time the stupid thing went down my top.  You guessed it, cars where driving by and I had my shirt off.  Luckily not for very long. And so.....   Drumroll here...   What is your favorite and/or  least favorite.  No psychoanalyzing- just plain fun!  I know we have another post somewhere about adding pictures. ... View more

Cryptic crosswords are the best type of crosswords. Maybe you've seen in them puzzles in the Times of London or the New Yorker (how anyone does those I don't know). I've also seen them in Israel papers occasionally (even more difficult for me since those are in Hebrew). But I rarely find people who do them, even though they are really fun. What are cryptic crosswords? All cryptic crossword clues appear as a single phrase/sentence but are really made up of 2 parts: a definition and then a description of the spelling of the word. But which side of the phrase/sentence is which  – that, you have to figure out. The best clues are those where the phrase/sentence seems like a normal phrase/sentence. Every clue also shows the number of letters in the answer, very important, since many answers are anagrams of parts of the clue. For example:   Preppy shirt emplem upset a girl a lot   "Preppy shirt emblem" refers to the Izod Lacoste icon, which is an alligator (really a crocodile, but forget about that). The second part of the clue, "upset a girl a lot", refers to how the word is constructed – "upset" suggests an anagram and "a girl a lot" is an anagram of alligator. There are other types of clues:   Praise one-time tax out loud   Here, the definition is "Praise" and the answer is "extol". The second part of the clue is a homonym, suggested by the words "out loud", with "one-time" = "ex" and "tax" = "toll" – meaning, the answer sounds like "ex" + "toll".   Scoundrel with Irish accent to be beheaded    Here, the definition is "Scoundrel" and the answer is "rogue". The second part of the clue mentions an "Irish accent", or "brogue" which is "beheaded", that is, the first letter is removed. All of these are from the latest issue of Games magazine, which I've been reading off and on since college, and which now includes 4 cryptic puzzles.     My first SAP-related clue OK, it's easy but it's just the beginning. Here's my first SAP-related clue.   Pa’s mixed up about cloud software company (3)   One more thing: You cannot be credited with solving any cryptic crossword clue unless you can decode the 2 parts of the clue, and understand why the answer fits the clue. Happy solving, and send in your SAP-related cryptic crossword clue. ... View more
