NWBC Favorites vs Easy Access (SAPGUI) Favorites

[Damean]

A question that has frequently came out among my users ... When should one use the NWBC Favorites vs the SAPGUI favorites?  Did anybody have a use case where one absolutely have no choice but to use NWBC favorite?

The SAPGUI favorites seems to be superior in capability comparing to NWBC favorites e.g.

1) It could appear in both Work Center and Favorite Panel (NWBC favorite only appears in the Panel)

2) It support Folder like structures (NWBC favorite are flat)

The only disadvantage seems to be the maintenance of the entries i.e. NWBC favorites could be maintained directly from NWBC; SAPGUI favorites maintenance have to done via SMEN,

..Also ...SAPGUI favorites could be download\upload to\from PC via SMEN. Hence allowing sharing ... I am NOT aware of such capability with NWBC favorites.

Hello Damean,

Favorites for NWBC Desktop Client are stored on the PC itself, by-default:

C:\Users\<USERID>\AppData\Roaming\SAP\NWBC\NWBC.favorites

This file stores all of the favorites from different systems in one.

Best regards

For that particular user. The user is a key in the "favorites connection".

Hi Damean,

Sorry about the delay. I had a big backlog after Teched. You are not the first customer to request this, so we are working on including it in a future release. However, I don't yet know whether this will be the very next release (ie the one with the common installer) or the one after that.

Re: your 2nd point (download/upload to PC). I will check with Melinda.
