Competition: SAP Market Place Challenge number 1

[petr_solberg]

Good Morning Slackers Cool People in the Coffee Corner,

today's Competition is the SAP Market Place Challenge, number 1 (there will be more)...

Challenge:

Your mission if you choose to accept it is to navigate to this url https://service.sap.com/roadmaps

and open a Product Road, and to make it easy, open any Road Map

and now the good bit, the tricky part,

next you have to logon to the new SAP Support Portal https://support.sap.com and you have to find the

same Road Map document

sounds easy doesn't it

when you have completed it, post the time it took you below in the comments

let's see who finds their roadmap the fastest

Good luck

Andy.

is it cheating if you find the link https://service.sap.com/roadmaps via Home | SAP Support Portal?

If it's not, took me 5 min (had to authenticate). Release, Upgrade & Maintenance Info > SAP Release Strategy > Related Links (right hand side) > SAP Roadmaps

Though when you launch that link, it then tells you "This portal has been retired. Access the new SAP Support Portal"

This portal has been retired. Access the new SAP Support Portal

Hi Colleen,

this is the Gum Ball Rally [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gumball_Rally ] and the only rule is to get to the target.

I tried the navigation which you provided, but.... unfortunately for me, my S User is different to my SCN User,

and when I go on the new SAP Support Portal, when I click logon I automatically get logged in as my SCN User

and that User does not have the authorization to get to the RoadMaps 😞

If I want to use the new SAP Support Portal and logon with my S User, I need to close all browsers and start again.

Luckily for me for most of my Basis related subjects I can use the new SAP Support Portal as a visitor and when I click on

my Basis related subjects I get redirected to the old SMP and HTTP Basis Authentication.

Good job, you're the winner, so far 🙂

Andy.

I had same authentication issue but I received a popup defaulting my email address (which I used to logon with SCN). I overrode the fields with my S number credentials and continued. That's what I was alluding to when I mentioned having to authenticate.

Would inPrivate mode tab work?

cool thanks,

ok I clicked logged out and got redirected back to SCN,

then opened a new tab for support.sap.com and got logged in again automatically as my

SCN User and then clicked logout and then navigated to Release Strategy and then got a

logon screen and logged on with the S User and then got to the Road Maps so the lesson

is not to click the Logon button in the top level navigation

ok, I think this competition is busted you are the winner and your prize is in the post 🙂

Andy.

bugger, now I can't submit this chat because I am logged out of SCN

by the way, congratulations you tied the knot
