New Forum in the XStep Café
|
VN:F [1.9.11_1134] Rating: 0.0/5 (0 votes cast) |
I have added a new functionality to my blog to make it easier to discuss multiple topics. So far you only could discuss questions in the area “Topic Discussion”. With the new forum you can add new topics and find those topics easier in an overview. To read topics in the forum you do not need to be logged on. If you want to create topics or reply to topics you need a registered user. This user is the same as for the blog so you might already have one.
If you want to register please press here.

As you know I have moved to a different area in the SAP organization. Nevertheless I want to keep this blog interesting for the XSteps and PI Sheet community.
Therefore I ask all of you whether you would be willing to contribute articles to this blog. If you are interested please send me a mail to arne.manthey@sap.com. I will then promote your user to a Contributor role which would allow you to create your own posts. Any new post from a contributor will go through a review process by myself though.

This is the presentation I showed you in Session 25. Please note that the new version 2.2 is currently in ramp-up with some exciting new stuff in it. However since this is a private blog I am not allowed to disclose this in public before the end of ramp-up. However you can contact your SAP sales agent or partner manager and ask for details.

PI Sheet on an iPad
|
VN:F [1.9.11_1134] Rating: 0.0/5 (0 votes cast) |
On one of my past posts last year I asked whether the iPad would be suited for working on a PI Sheet. Some of you did some tests by trying to access a PI Sheet via WebGUI and the mobile Safari browser. Since the PI Sheet is highly optimized for the Microsoft Internet Explorer this is not a good approach.
Recently I received an iPad and I also noticed that our IT department offered support for using a Citrix client on that device. That immediately brought me to the idea to try out how to work in a PI Sheet in that environment. Here is my report..

No Session today :(

VN:F [1.9.11_1134] Rating: 0.0/5 (0 votes cast) |
Unfortunately there was only one SAP colleague online with me today and therefore I decided to skip this session. Probably there was some confusion about the correct time because in Germany the daylight saving time has ended last weekend. I added a red note on the News though…
In the future please always check your local time (e.g. with this link )
