I had this funny error message in SAP the other day. I can’t remember the context, but standing alone, out of context, it is pretty funny. Also note that while it looks like an error message it is being signalled as a success message, which makes it even more humourous.
Arrggh, the scripts are escaping! They are taking over the world!

Thomas Otter author of the great blog, Vendorprisey has joined SDN.
And, what is more, he has opened with a great post on Global HR.
Having worked with an HR company for several years and some of those involving Global corporations, I will be very interested in following this conversation.
Welcome Thomas!

Dan McWeeney has some great ideas. He also has a sence of humour. Both of these are very good attributes in a developer.
In this post on innovation he has some good pointers about Agile or should that be agile, Steve? However you spell it. This post from Dan has some simple points about agile in stark contrast to the rant from Steve I posted yesterday.
Joel also had some interesting thoughts about agile recently too.
Obviously there are ways and means of doing this stuff. I am interested in Dan’s comments because he works with this wonderful German software product too and I am trying to surf and or catch the wave of scripting enthusiasm and find ways of working that work better and smarter.
Can agile work in a process where a lot of the work is configured rather than programmed? I am still on this agile / scrum learning curve and I am trying to decode the whole schmozzle.
So for this reason I am glad to hear that it is working for somebody.

There is a nice new format for linking to the SAP Service Market place to retrieve SAP Notes.
It is described in the SDN Blog linked above but this is so useful the information is worth repeating.
The url format is as follows:
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/note_number
so just replace note_number with a note number and you are away.
Just for example:
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/726719
You will need a Service Market Place (SMP) Login to access this.
In the BSP workbench (transaction BSP_WD_WORKBENCH ) you may well have the option Component Controller when there are no Component Controllers in your application. If you do and you click it, SAP will short dump on you.
Short text
Exception condition “COMPONENT_NOT_EXISTING” raised.
The CRM_IC application does not have this option.
A new BSP application viewed in the BSP_WD_WORKBENCH also has the options Application and Windows. These are obviously from the Web Dynpro world.
These options are not always available in the workbench so it must be doing something clever to work out if these options are meant to be available or not.
So here is a word to the wise… if these options, Application, Component Controller and Windows don’t make sense for your current piece of work then don’t click on them.

This thread gives some pointers to custom BOL (Business Object Layer) Development.

My latest assignment is a (fairly sizable) piece of work to customise the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Interaction Centre Web Client (ICWC or IC Web Client).
It seems that we are boldly going where no person has gone before and I am finding the documentation of the ICWC a little on the thin side.
So, from today I am going to start documenting all the little ICWC secrets I find. I trust this will be useful for someone. I am expecting it will serve as a helper for me but if you are one of the 3.14 people reading this blog and happen to be working with the ICWC AND you find this helpful, then lashings of ginger beer all around!

When searching for some documentation on the SAP CRM ICWC. I found this little gem of a blog with a few posts by some frustrated consultants.
Glad that someone is sharing the fun of the Interaction Centre Web Client.
