If you ever want to see how many radio amateurs are out there in the field doing activations (summits on the air , parks on the air even bunkers on the air) in your part of the world then this website is excellent ..
This is an interesting thread as despite working for many many years in IT I know next to nothing about SAP. I have worked with people from all parts of the IT ecosystem over the years but not SAP. It appears to be its own little closed world that some people enter but then never leave.
That observation aside does anyone know who writes or customises the SAP NetWeaver for Windows programs ? Is that the function of a highly paid consultant somewhere ? I have seen a few of these in different places and the common factor is they always look like they were written in Visual Basic circa 1992. The one I use makes the same beeping sound if a transaction fails as it does if it succeeds. If the transaction fails this is signalled by status box text saying so in a green font but if it succeeds then text says that in a red font. It takes a special mind to come up with that !
Years ago I was involved in a project to scrape certain info out of a SAP system with a web interface. It would have been easier to do it with a API but my conversations with the SAP people at work were going nowhere (is it me or do SAP IT people have no concept of how things are done outside the world of SAP ?).
Anyway I started looking through the Javascript the browser automatically downloads and found there was 10s of MBs of un optimised code only a tiny percentage of which was being used. It was horrific and it was easy to understand why the system was so mind blowingly slow.
