Moderators,

Pls check the below 2 links..

http://www.biexpertonline.com/article.cfm?id=2075

Above article was published in BI Expert online in year 2005.

Below blog was published yesterday with exactly same content even without knowing that screenshots were taken in BW 3.5.

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-25074#comment-295598(Link when the article was first posted)

http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-25264 (Not sure why the old document was deleted and was reposted (may be after realising the content was copied))

This is a copyrighted content and defies the purpose of having community like SAP SCN.This should not be encouraged and also it affects beginners using SCN.

Hi Vikram,

Just click the "Report Abuse" button and a moderator will address the problem. I've already done it, but if you would like to do this as well it would be fine.

Thanks for pointing this out It is helpful and important to do so!

Hi Vikaram,

I really appreciate that you read my document.

I have use the leaf function in my project and that's why I share my views. Nothing related to that I copied it from other site.

I know the screen-shots that i took from BW 3.5 version because I did my assignment in the BW 3.5 only.

Tell me one thing, the content over there is same that i wrote and the example is same that I wrote in my article.

I really appreciate if you clarify first then write down such word.

This is a public forum and every one has the right to share his/her view.

I know the terms and condition of the SCN.

Hi Neha,

Its unethical to copy others content.The BI expert online content was written in 2005 and its a copyrighted content.Having said your work is unique, you have removed the original document posted on 16/03/2012 and posted a new document with same content which shows in your "content" activity.I have saved the version you first posted and have reported the same to BI Expert online.Its clearly evident that this was a copy from a article posted in 2005

SDN Moderators:The same content is being posted twice as a blog.How is this being allowed?

Regards,

Vikram

Hello Vikram,

First of all I appreciate that you point this out. I managed to check the document that you are refering to. I would like to clarify once again, that even though the 2 documents look similar and are in BW 3.5, I have not copied any content. This was an effort to share my experience with the 'Leaf Function'.

As far as deleting and re-posting the article is concerned, I would like to apologize for my actions. I would be more careful in posting articles/ documents in future.

Regards,Neha
