Farewell Session
Link to original flash recording
Thanks a lot for all who participated in this last session and your kind words 🙂
Arne & Uwe
One last thing to mention with regard to the videos in this blog: I converted all sessions from the original flash format to mp4 and uploaded them to Youtube. You see the Youtube video embedded in the session posts. However, in some of the sessions the conversion did not go smoothly (audio and video not well aligned). If you find such a video you are more than welcome to try to make a better conversion based on the original flash recording and send it to me for replacement in my youtube channel. You find the links to those original recordings below the youtube video embedded in the posts. I cannot say how long those flash recordings will stay alive though…
Dear Followers,it has been over 10 years that I shared my knowledge on XSteps and SAP Manufacturing with you. Since I moved on to a completely different topic (SAP Hybris Marketing) I relied a lot on Uwe’s participation and input in the online sessions. Now also Uwe decided to leave the area of manufacturing and therefore we decided to stop our activities with regards to the XStep Café.
It has been a very rewarding time for us and we received a lot of friendly feedback and appreciation. For this we would like to say thank you!
The blog will remain accessible and all the recordings will hopefully remain on YouTube for a very long time. There are still the links to the Adobe flash-based recordings but I fear that those will stop working at some point in time 🙁
There will be a last farewell session on the 8th of November 2017. We do not plan to present any topics – just hanging around 😉
We will generally stop answering questions via email. Unfortunately I cannot give you any other contact name for any questions on SAP Manufacturing, the roadmap or any other topic. You will need to go through the official contact channels (web site or your SAP account executive)
We encourage you to use the community to help each other:
Kind regards,
Arne & Uwe

Since you and I had problems in the past with the Adobe format of my recordings I have now decided to convert all available session videos to a more common format. I also created a playlist in Youtube and uploaded all videos there:

Question: Is it possible to convert existing process instructions for PI Sheets to XSteps? Answer: No XSteps are master data and process instructions are maintained in customizing. There is no process or report which automatically creates XSteps in the repository. You could try to manually copy the process instructions in customizing and paste them in the process instruction tab of an Step element. It might work – or not. And there would be a good deal of rework because XSteps handle a lot of data transfer with parameters and process instructions use variables which work differently. I generally recommend to use this as an opportunity to do a general rework of your manufacturing instructions and gradually move them to XSteps. It is possible to make the switch from one master recipe to another so there is no need for a big bang to convert everything at the same time.

Dear XStep Café community!
The error seems to be related to the usage of Internet Explorer 11 and SAPWinGUI 7.40 (higher patch level). Reason for the error: SAP HTML viewer control displays the HTML content of browser-based PI Sheets and electronic work instructions. These objects require SAP GUI for Windows. In this case the MS Internet Explorer is used as external browser. The current HTML files of the browser framework are not compatible with IE 11. The metadata information in the HTML file about the UX compatibility mode is missings. The HTML files of the browser framework require Internet Explorer 6.0 as compatibility mode. Solution: Kind regards
