Back-porting the New ABAP Editor to older WebAS Releases

[thomas_jung]

I have posted a weblog that makes a case for SAP back-porting the new ABAP editor to older WebAS Releases:

/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2005/08/09/speak-your-voice-new-abap-editor-for-older-releases

I am suggesting that if you wish to support such a development by SAP that you please reply to this forum posting simply stating what release you would like to see the new editor back-ported to. Please be realistic (no 3.0F is not realistic). What version of the WebAS do you really think you will be developing on for the next few years.

We have an opportunity to have voices heard and perhaps make a difference!

I would like to see it on WebAS 640.

[Former Member]

6.20 would be great (and realistic).

[Former Member]

I too would like to see it on WebAS 640.

[Former Member]

620 would be great.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks

Currently we are using 4.6c, but the next year we will upgrate to 620. So 620 it's a nice idea.

Let us all post our remarks in the web log. This has a high(er)visibility.

I considered that. I was hoping to get hundreds of replys so I didn't know if we wanted to clog up the Recent Weblog Discussions area with this.

However if everyone wants to post there instead that is fine by me.

I'll post this on both ('forum' and 'weblog'):

SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 with

- SAP_BASIS 620

- SAP_ABA 620

- SAP_APPL 470

- Kernel 6.40

Speaking of a challenge Serious now, the message is indeed more importnat than the means.

[Former Member]

I totally agree with Eddy:

>...the message is indeed more important than the means...

What does everybody think of making SDN an offical institution for addressing development requests to SAP (like DSAG, ASUG, etc.)?

Is there already a discussion/statement regarding this idea? (Shall i create a new forum-post or weblog? Maybe Craig or Mark are the right persons to turn to...)

Comments welcome...

Best regards

Jürgen

If the demand is good, I also considered taking this request through ASUG and trying to start a Influence Council on the topic. I am the Special Interest Group Chair for Web Technologies at ASUG, so I could introduce the topic. The more support I can show through SDN, the better the chances of getting an Influence Council approved.

Hi Thomas,

After reading all , I am totally agree with you.

WAS 640.

We are on 4.6C, so it would be nice to have the new editor on 4.6C.

[Former Member]

620 would be great.

[Former Member]

I dont care either, but we should post in a single location. I suggest Thomas Jung, as the thread "owner", makes the decision and then we stick to it.

Thomas, your turn

[thomas_jung]

I had one other personal reason for going with the forum posting; I can turn off the watch and stop getting the emails if the volumn becomes too great (once again my hope for a large turn out).

All things considered, I suggest that we stay with the Forum Posting.

[eddy_declercq]

I would like to suggest at least the latest versions:

R/3 Enterprise Edition 4.7 and Web AS 6.4

[christian_wohlfahrt]

Hi,

even I'm working on a pretty new installation, this is 'only' 620.

So I expect to have customers with 620 and 640 in the next few years.

Greetings,

Christian

[reedtzj]

I agree with Eddy - it is a reasonable level also in my opinion. //Johan

Basis 620 would be great

[Former Member]

620 would be very nice for us

[Satyabrata_Basu]

Hello,

atleast starting with WebAS 620. 4.6C would be great but we don't have them around anymore

Cheers !!

Hello,

Having only recently moved to 620 I would love to have the editor and so would my team.

Thanks,

Sam

[Former Member]

We use 46C and I would like the new editor available from 46C onwards.

[Former Member]

...4.7 would be great...

[Former Member]

I want it for 46C

[Former Member]

Most of us still working in 4.6C releases, so ... it would be nice if it works on 46.

What about building an external application such as the Graphical Screen Painter? this will provide us to build programs apart from SAP release where we're working on

[Former Member]

It will be meaningful to backport it to atleast 6.20 version.

[thomasalexander_ritter]

620 would be great

[SilvioMiranda]

6.20 would be great to us!!

[Former Member]

I'd love to have it on a 4.6C!

Andre

[Former Member]

I’d definitely agree on the 4.6C.

[Former Member]

My wish: 4.6C, but at least 6.20

Thanks

[ramki_maley]

My wish 6.20.

Thanks for all the greatr work, Thomas!

Cheers,

Ramki Maley.

[Former Member]

6.20 please.

[christian_wohlfahrt]

Hi folks!

When the plan for the next <i>years</i> is in question, then I try to estimate the lifetime of a system until a major release upgrade.

Figuring 3-5 years, I guess most 4.6C installations will get an upgrade in the next 2-3 years. Then they would profit of a 640 (or even newer) version.

But then still a lot of 620 systems will be running.

And then the time for back-porting will lead to some upgraded 4.6C systems...

I just hope, it's not so difficult and time consuming, because the new features sounded really interesting!

Christian
