Ask and Comment About the Community Platform and M... - SAP Community

I just read Craig's blog and added a comment about updating his SAP Community book: https://www.amazon.com/rough-grayscale-look-back-Recognition/dp/149293979X/

I hope things go well.

Tammy

Thanks, Tammy! And I can't believe I'm just learning about this book... 🙂

Hi Jerry, 

My main problem with the current Q&A area is the editor. I can't wait to use the Khoros editor while answering the Community's questions around BTP. Should I expect anything new related to editor capabilities?

Also, on the Q&A area I see a lot of answers being given as comments. Will Khoros fix that somehow? 

Best regards,
Ivan

Hi, Ivan:

I don't think Khoros offers anything new in terms of the editor capabilities, and this platform's Q&A also allows participants to leave Replies or Answers, so people will have to pay attention to what type of comment they're leaving (and we'll continue to educate them on how to use the platform).

There is a public Q&A already live here, if you'd like to check it out and see what you think: https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/human-experience-management-q-a/qa-p/hxm-qa-public.

Kind regards,

Is this the queue for bug reports, or is there another channel? I'd think general comments and observations go here but stack dumps elsewhere. As they say in conference Q&A, this is more of a comment than a question.

Hi, @JimSpath :

For now, if you find a bug, please feel free to report it here.

Ah, fine.

My former account here now shows "UserName Placeholder for UXP-4318" instead of whatever nom de plume preceded. (which I read in David Bowie's voice singing TVC-15).

Hi, Jim;

I'll try to find an explanation. In the meantime, please let me know whether you went through the merging/UID process. (I think that after you do that, and log out and in again, the issue might resolve itself, but I'm reaching out to colleagues who know a bit more about SAP profiles.)

--Jerry

Hi, Jim:

Just so I'm clear: You went through the merge process (https://community.sap.com/resources/information-about-account-merge) -- not just profile linking? You used https://consolidation.community.sap.com/?continue to associate https://people.sap.com/jim.spath with your primary account?

The issue is that https://people.sap.com/jim.spath was an inactive s-user account that had been marked for deletion. In some cases, these profiles still show up with those odd names. 

Since it hasn't been deleted though, you can still merge it...if you haven't already. If you have, could you please send me a screenshot showing that the profile is merged with your primary account via SAP Universal ID? I can then forward to IT to see what might have gone wrong.

Thanks!

This is not a bug but a comment.

I am sorry to report that the SAP Passport doesn't work with the community any more.  It wasn't promised but would have made things easier.

hi, is there any information on how to integrate the new community platform into SAP Build Work Zone either via iframe, UI5 Cards/APIs etc?

Thanks for the call and the understanding. Since RSS feeds are available in the platform it's probably the best way to bring content from here to somewhere else. Now your specific request was quite a bit more detailed I won't restate things here as it really does not apply.

Where can I see the blog posts that I submitted for review?

Why do I have to upload all images manually when writing a blog post?

Why does the editor mangles all links in blog posts that I copy from a Wordpress editor?

Is there anywhere I can submit bug reports?

Does sound like a couple of possible bugs there, they can be reported here.

Hello - I was a recipient of the email. FYI, the sentence in the email that says "As we posted important details about content,.." just points to www.sap.com.

Could you point me to a spreadsheet of the posts that were not migrated (hopefully sorted by member), or provide any instructions so that I can determine that for my posts?  Also, will the graphics be recoverable from somewhere?

Thanks

Hello @LauraNevin Thank you to alerting us to the link issue in the email. You can request a list of your content that will not be migrated by sending an email to [email protected].

Hi, after the migration, will I be able to log in with my SAP Universal ID (UID) and select which account I want to use; as we have been able to do with SAP Support Portal for quite some time?  I don't recall whether that was available here before - it's been awhile since I logged in. Today I didn't get any choice, and it defaulted to my S user instead of P user - not the behavior I expect or want. My accounts are linked, and my UID login uses my P# email address;  so defaulting to the S user made no sense.  (In order to post under my personal account, I logged out and logged back in with my P# login rather than UID. But I assume that ability will go away soon.) 

Hi, @mh97:

I believe the answer is yes, but I'll try to get someone from the SAP IT team to answer you (as the SAP Community team is not responsible for SAP Universal ID).

If you have questions or request assistance on the topic, these pages might help:

* https://community.sap.com/resources/universal-id-faq

* https://community.sap.com/resources/information-about-account-merge

Kind regards,

@mh97: After migration of the community users will log in with their Universal ID to login to the community. S/P IDs will no longer be valid for the community rather user's universal ID will be the user's identity for community usage. For the Support Portal, the concept of S ID is still valid as we want to know which customer we are supporting but for community user has one identity (which is the user's universal ID). I hope this answers your question.

@kvibhasharma : thank you for your reply.  What confused me is that I had logged in with my Universal ID, but for some reason it was displaying the profile associated with my customer S-User ID (including company email address), and hadn't given me any option to select it.  But today it gave me the choices and I was able to select my personal account as expected. So maybe it was just a "glitch". I guess we will see in time. 🙂

Hi There, I edited my previous blog  - https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/guide-create-sap-s-4hana-external-gl-account-hi...  and republished it. Now, I am getting below message on the blog:

Marked as spam. If you believe this is an error, submit an abuse report.

Can you explain why I see this message and how to get rid of it.

Regards,

Just use "abuse report" link and report it. I did the same and one of the community manager can review it.   Yes, somehow there is an issue whenever we try to re-edit any posts.

Regards,
Tuncay

Hi Tuncay,

Thanks for the reply. I already did it, how much time did it took for moderator to reply?

Regards,

Jai, they should have already replied now! I hope your issues resolved! 

Hi Community Group / Moderators,

Can we have a list of moderators who can support us internally? I make some changes, publish it and it goes marked as spam and the blog is not visible at all. 

I see similar issues reported earlier but no fix, which is frustrating. Who is the moderator in APJ? Please share the details, I would like to get this re-published ASAP.

Regards,

Nagesh

I have a few questions about the new community:

• before the migration, the view statistics for each blog post were displayed when you opened the blog post. With the new layout, there are no view statistics. How can I get the view statistics for my content? I find this information useful to get to know which topics users are interested in.
• Are my subscriptions lost? If I was subscribed to a certain tag or topic, do I need to subscribe again to be informed about news?
• The formatting of migrated posts looks crappy. Will you fix that? Here's an example: Literals in ABAP - SAP Community

Thanks

Hello Andrea,

I had the same question for my Blog Posts. You can still see the Views & Comments if you go to the earlier section (from top of the page) which would list all the Blog Posts. You can then scroll to your post and see the Views, Comments & Kudos there (refer screen below).

However, it is difficult to get there and certainly NOT a welcome change. Requesting the Team responsible to review this. A newer version is expected to add to the functionality & not reduce it.

Also, the overall view can be better. Half page from top and on right side is consumed by other things and very less view area is left for the main content. There should be option to condense these.

Looking forward to help and support. We all aim to make it better for the Community 🙂

@AndreaUS All subscriptions to tags and to content were migrated. The platform offers extensive functionality for notifications, so you should be able to tailor them to receive the notifications you want/need.

Have all Blogs been migrated? I can only find three very old ones of mine that are all but irrelevant by now. 

And the user profile doesn't seem to have any ability to show blogs for a user either.

Anyone? I can't find a "Community Stuff" forum to post things in either.
I all but abandoned SCN after the last platform change, thought it might be better on the new platform but so far my first impressions are not that great. Can't find stuff, my content missing, can only see a user's forum posts not blogs, blog formatting is just horrible 😞
