Hi Ed and Thomas,
great podcast again. As mentioned before I really like the conversational style.
More please…
Cheers
Graham Robbo
Graham, thanks for listening!
Ed and Thomas,
Great show guys! Glad to hear the info about the support behind ABAP – finally there is hope. Also, thanks for the EP refresher, now I can finally make sense out of the alphabet soup. Looking forward to future podcasts, as well as the ABAP Freakshow. And Ed, now that Thomas has brought it up, we have to hear the jingle “gotta have more jingle”.
I agree with Graham, “Need more input”….
Thanks,
Terry
@Terry “gotta have more cowbell!” haha; love it 🙂
I just added a plugin for AJAX enabled comments. This should let you comment while listening to the podcast without a refresh causing the podcast to restart.
Great show, guys! Looking forward to future discussions.
One comment on the discussion on Enhancement Packages: Upon our upgrade, we had a couple of enhancements enabled by accident (delivered in the package via config), enabling immature code that didn’t work. This leads me to the question…if customers don’t enable the ERP enhancement, then it won’t be as well-tested and production ready as it would with the old technique. As you mentioned, IT shops are slow, so the majority of customers will probably leave this new functionality disabled. One beauty of SAP is that customers all over the world are fixing bugs for other customers. With this enhancement technique, that benefit is lessened.
Just food for thought….I see the advantages of both.
