What is the relevant Place to post?

[Former Member]

Hi

could any one point where the Hr-abap Quesitons be posted..

As when i am posting in the Sap-HR where no technical people will visit the same so one able to answer the same..

By posting it in Abap-general that is not accurate..

So Is there any Possibility for creating the Abap-hr category under Abap-general?

Hi Craig/Julius OR any other mods...Is creating the Extra category under Abap-general Is huge deal?

Pls waiting for u r precious reply..

Regards

Sas

Ps: As now a days There is INCREMENT in the Hr-projects expecting more technical problems and requiring more calrification....pls consider this adhoc

I don't see any imminent need for a separate forum..we have enough trouble already..if the issue is purely Technical, post it in the ABAP forums.. else use the HCM forum.. I haven't been that regular of late, but do notice that both the HCM & ABAP fourms are quite active with HR-ABAP related threads.. not sure why you feel there should be a separate forum.. before you start off saying HR-ABAP is different.. it is close to 10 years for me & I have always felt, but for a few concepts (that are no longer relevant in the ABAP Objects) it is not much different..You only need a little more insight into the Business side.. which again s probably true for any Module..

P.S. like pk said, I'm afraid of cross-posting...

Hi Suresh,

Thankx alot for turning us..

AS u mentioned..

it is close to 10 years for me 

u can easily sor it out....What is Functional and what is technical...

an object can be developed in any ways...

For ex: One of u r post which has helped for creating enhancing the infotype sutype whihc is restircted in subtype...Which can be acieved through Features as well User exits..In which one is Pure Functional and other is technical....so in the either case some thing should be trnasparent..

Lets See come to macros..where abap people never use macro's...so posting in abap wont reflect..and Hr functional also the same..so making all the things considerbale..if one HR-abap column is maintained where there is plenty of knowledge share..instead of some golden replies related to hr(So many includes u) are hidden in abap forums ..I got one more point if we are ready to maintain JOB forum so why dont a hr-abap forum....

Suresh hope u support this..

Hi,

I agree with Suresh. The difference isn't too big, so the right place will be the abap general forum. Having a onw hr-abap forum will again lead to a lot of wrong postings as lots of people having some basic abap issues but are working in the hr areas will post their questions there.

Hi Siggi ,

THanks for joining...what my point is..If a seperate hr-abap forum is done Each question & answer has its importnat...all the future troubels will be done there...which is so helpful..

Btw i dont think people will cross post...as now a days stirct moderation is effecting much..

So lets see what other says..

Regards

Sas

ps: as all valid hr-abap querries are been mixed in the abap fourm lost their identity thats true..

I let that pass. Was glad that sentence dint end with a on .

Anyways my motivation for having a seperate forum for ABAP-HR is not because of the thin like between Technical and Functional. Rather, its for increasing number of questions on HR-ABAP these days. Since theres already so many sub-divisions in the ABAP region why not have another?

Having said that, my main concern still remains to be cross-posting. Take the case of Workflow. Despite having a dedicated forum for BPM and Workflows, theres still a lot of misdirected questions here.

So that really is a bad trade-off. I wouldnt like to be in the adjudicator's chair to make the call.

I agree as well. Too many forums is too confusing for those who dont know their way around the whole site (a group to which I include myself) and will therefore be too tempting to innocently or not-so-innocently cross-post and play other games...

I made a suggestion a little while ago (and hopefully Craig and the SDN Team will forgive me for marketing it a bit), so again:

> I agree with Suresh. The difference isn't too big, ...

There are also good threads which cross the boundaries of the functional and the technical aspects where either (optionally) are the solution or both are required.

What would be really cool is if the moderators when finding such (good quality) content, could mirror the same thread to another forum as well from which expertise and subject knowledge is relevant and required.

Of course this is only sensible for good quality threads (both the question and the answers) so we need to get the noise levels down first (even if the feature were available in the software).

My 2 cents,

Julius

Well Julius..

Your 2 cents is too much For us ))...

Too many forums is too confusing for those who dont know their way around the whole site 

I Dont think so....as until proper guidence is there.

& Adding as well ... With the words of mike(In previous thread) as well its just a plug which u withdraw if that sounds are too noisy & unable to control...

What u say?

Ps: Suresh Thanks for ur wishes... I wrote u alot of explanion to you ..but u replied some other thing...Mean while If u change your opnion pls welcome..

All requests for new forums are viewed the same

1) if they are relevant

2) if they have a large enough demand

They get reviewed and provided they fit to the overall strategy (Michael's new blog with the second alternative with 2 levels of categories will make it easier to add more granual ones)

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

o thats looks reasonable and pretty good....

I have one query....

if they have a large enough demand

But How do you calculate the demand craig?

Thanks & Regards

It's typically in relation to the existing location that is being used. For example if Topic A has 1000 messages a day and someone wants to separate Topic B from A we look to see how much of the 1000 daily messages is "Topic B" if we see we have 100 daily messages we would normally consider that "enough" however if it's 1 or 2 messages we might hold off.

Likewise if 100 people support the request we might also implement it on a trial basis of 3 months but after the 3 months if there are only 10 messages we might merge it back into the original location.

We've not set formula it's all on a case by case basis and many times whether or not their is a SAP PM willing to support it or existing moderators willing to take on the additional forum.

[former_member184657]

I think its a fair suggestion. But Im also worried about all the cross-postings too.
