For some of us the SAP Community started off way back in 2003/2004 as the SAP Developer Network (SDN). Later after the Business Objects Community and others merged together it became the SAP Community Network (SCN) - then in 2016 it simply became the SAP Community.

I've personally seen a lot of changes to the environment over all these years but one thing has always remained constant - this is a place where you can come to ask questions, meet others and exchange knowledge.

Over the years we've had things like "Blog it Forward" that let people introduce themselves to each other. We've also had over the years forum threads and things like that to say hello.

We've even created some tutorials to help new comers as well as those like myself take more advantage of the community. Have you taken these 4 tutorials?

  • Tour the SAP Community, Explore the various features of SAP Community, familiarize yourself with community guidelines, discover how to get the most out of your membership, and earn the Tour the Community badge.
  • Ask and Answer Questions on SAP Community, Want to ask questions on SAP Community, but not sure how to start? This tutorial will help you get to know the Questions and Answers section, processes and guidelines, so you can more easily gain and share knowledge.
  • Writing and Publishing Blog Posts on SAP Community, By taking this tutorial, you'll discover how to prepare and manage your blog posts on SAP Community, get tips for better blogging, and learn how to interact with readers. You'll also earn the Blogging Savvy badge.
  • Update and Maintain Your SAP Profile at people.sap.com, By taking this tutorial, you'll explore, set up, and manage the sections of your SAP profile (people.sap.com). You'll also earn the Profile Savvy badge.

Would you be willing to introduce yourself to your fellow community members here?

Me? Well I started my path into the SAP way back in 2002/2003 when my company told me to learn it so I could install it when I cam back from my project in Germany. I'm sure some noticed the odd bit about that statement. Needless to say I dove in and as luck would have it, SAP had just launched their beta of a Community (SDN) so coming from a web application background I felt at home to go figure things out.

@Former Member Was actually one of the first people who helped me to figure things out, my question asking left a lot to be desired as I had no clue about terminology or anything else in the SAP world. Then it was a post by @qmacro about RSS and RFC's that really got me more comfortable and then I just went crazy sharing my experiences and learnings via the blog posts.

I started a series on BSP and "mini WAS" - 

I even presented at my first SAP TechEd event.

BoF, TechEd Munich ’04 – RSS, HTTP and BSP

So it's been a crazy start into the SAP world that resulted in me getting a job with SAP, learning that you don't just "install it" 😉 and now I have the pleasure of trying to help others day to day!

SAP Community is not active in answering questions. This what I see on comparing with stackoverflow.

Thank you @StephanieMarley . Today I am able to join a group and I completed all of the steps in the Tour the SAP Community 2024. Now I want to publish a blog under Enterprise Resource Planning Blogs by Members section. But 'Create a Blog' button is not clickable by my account. Is there anything else I can do for blogging?

Thanks and regards,
Merve

Welcome to SAP Community @MerveKaya!! Great to have you here. There is a wait time before newcomers can create a blog. If you have completed all steps in the tutorial, then you have done everything correctly.

Hello everyone,

I am from Germany and currently living in Saarbrücken (Saarland), which is the capital of one of the sixteen German states located in the west.

I've just started studying Business Informatics, aiming for a top-tier Bachelor's degree. I'm passionate about learning, sharing knowledge, and engaging with others. My focus is on gaining expertise in SAP and becoming a speaker on AI and IT. I believe in the power of technology and business to shape the future.

I’m sharing my learning journey here to inspire and connect with others.

My tip for anyone reading this: Stay curious and never stop learning.

 

Kind regards,

Jerry

I am a construction engineer by education, and my story with SAP began recently when I started working as a construction manager. I learned about SAP a year ago and in February 24 I passed the SAP MM and SAP SD exams. I live in Berlin but I was born in Poland. I'm trying to find a job in Berlin as a SAP Advisor and specialize in data migration. I also had an interview at BMW, but they said that they were looking for a person who knew how to migrate data from SAP to S/4HANA. I would like to specialize in data migration from SAP to S/4HANA, but in the form of a temporary contract. I would like to find a boot for the automatic migration of approximately 12,000-13,000 pieces of data within a short period of time. I am looking for an internship as a junior SAP advisor and I would like to cooperate with someone who specializes in data migration. I know that this time for migration is supposed to end in 2027. I wish everyone a nice day.
