This is a funny Note

petr_solberg — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 07:54:26 GMT

Good morning Slackers Cool People in the Coffee Corner,

I just came across a funny OSS Note.

Why do I find it funny ? As a technician, it's always nice to know little secrets for working with SAP's products,

little gems of information, short cuts and tips and tricks, and this OSS Note describes the steps to find some

information on Fiori, and the funny thing is, the steps involved take unintuitive to a new level.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any more unintuitive, then this little gem comes along.

Nice one.

Best regards,

Andy.

p.s. please respect the OSS and do not quote the contents of the OSS Note here

I love how it's "p" and not even "v" for version.

When I read that, I thought maybe someone had a bit of fun with the reader and the step ends with something simple like "Read the information on the screen" or something like that.

I was reminded of the postcard that is attached to my monitor. It says: "Sometimes the best thing about my job is, that the chair can spin."

So I was expecting a comment like that next in the note.

I like it. It has character and tells us to read OSS notes with cultural tolerance for those who think visually. From there it is just a short step further to "When the jasmin flower has blossomed...".

Is anyone aware this OSS Note also exists in Marketplace ?

Hi Samy,

hope you are doing fine.

Yeah that's a nice one, from the days when things were easy 🙂 A bygone era.

Best regards,

Andy.

it reminded me of an Indiana Jones film, a cryptic clue to a riddle, something like, go over there, behind that tree, turn around three times, look towards the sky where the sun rays cross the horizon and to your left is the answer

Nice. When the support doesn't know what to write at the end, they just need to attach the note. ^^

@Julius: When SAP-notes go poetic... I'd read a lot more notes, when they were written like that. Sure enough I would probably understand even less than now, but at least it would be nice to read.

Woah, Andy. Thanks for this almost poetic bit (and I'm afraid there's no averting me from quoting this OSS note now and then). This is almost as awesome as the Tao of Programming or Windows Haikus. Incidentally, speaking of Haikus, *ahem*:

What version Are you?

You will get to understand.

When the flower spins.

Can somebody hack a new Version of the Note and paste my Haiku in?

Cheers, Lukas

HANA UI5?

When the jasmin flower blooms.

Ctrl-shift-alt-P.... Ahhh!.

Re: This is a funny Note

Lukas_Weigelt — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 10:04:35 GMT

Haha, here we go

P.S. gotta pronounce the "ctrl" real fast, though, formatwise, eh? 😜

Hi,

I don't find it un-intuitive. The reason is that the same shortcut works for web dynpro. So I assume that somebody from SAP said let's be consistent this time.

Cheers

Hi Martin,

you're right everything has many perspectives and from the perspective of people already familiar with the short cut, then it demonstrates consistency by following the same pattern.

Thanks for sharing that it is an existing short cut, I'll give it a try else where.

Best regards,

Andy.

The p stands for "program errors contained"...
