ABAP keyword documentation is broken

Astashonok — Sat, 09 Feb 2019 04:44:03 GMT

What's going on with keyword documentation? All links are corrupted that previously worked like a charm. When I go to https://help.sap.com/http.svc/rc/abapdocu_752_index_htm/7.52/en-US/index.htm I get

The same think with 7.51, 7.50, 7.40, 7.31

https://help.sap.com/http.svc/rc/abapdocu_751_index_htm/7.51/en-US/index.htm

https://help.sap.com/http.svc/rc/abapdocu_750_index_htm/7.50/en-US/index.htm

https://help.sap.com/http.svc/rc/abapdocu_740_index_htm/7.40/en-US/index.htm

https://help.sap.com/http.svc/rc/abapdocu_731_index_htm/7.31/en-US/index.htm

Anything changed? What's wrong with that?

And the screen says

As of July 17 2017, help-legacy.sap.com has been shut down

So there you ago. 7.52 is now considered Legacy!

Looks like someone has screwed up a redirection horst.keller might be interested that his documentation has been blocked.

And what is not legacy? AFAIK, 7.52 is the latest version

dezmond06 I didn't see any official release information of 7.53 yet, but the ABAP 7.53 documentation was recently made available, the link being broken too: https://help.sap.com/http.svc/rc/abapdocu_753_index_htm/7.53/en-US/index.htm

The official page https://www.sap.com/community/topics/abap.html also refers to ABAP Keyword Documentation (7.53).

==> But it works in German ! https://help.sap.com/http.svc/rc/abapdocu_753_index_htm/7.53/de-DE/index.htm

I could only find one unbroken, 7.53 German : https://help.sap.com/http.svc/rc/abapdocu_753_index_htm/7.53/de-DE/index.htm

Well, my comment about 7.52 being legacy was supposed to be a joke (and perhaps English as well - maybe due to Brexit?), but it appears like someone has decided that only the most recent help should be online. I'm not entirely convinced that this isn't out of benighted crass stupidity.

SAP you are awesome, making all the developers to learn German! My German is not so brilliant to read ABAP docu, haha

Somebody screwed it up, but not purposely.

I republished all releases again.

Should work now.
