Not liking new software tools based on hana

[former_member197870]

Dear experts,

Being frank,I am not liking the transformation,the way sap has lead on its development tools in these past years.

I have been on ABAP as well as PI for last 15 years. Midway I had been firmly speaking against using oops.Even copying a program has become herculean task as you need to copy 100 of includes and then at last you get messages "Enhancement implementations cannot be copied".

But sap is making life miserable of developers day by day.Finally I would like to change from sap technology.

Plain fact,nobody likes complexity and knowledge of 5-6 programming languages/tools/platform to achieve trivial tasks.It gives you a feeling of heartattack even on listening a requirement from someone.Majorily because we are not in age where customer can afford to wait for even 15 days to meet a single requirement.Please suggest,should I leave sap or what next career could I aim for ??

Dear Aditya,

I think you should read careful through Custom Extensions in SAP S/4HANA Implementations - A Practical Guide for Senior IT Leadership. I think exactly the "copying a program" had lead to many lock in situations for customers that make upgrades cumbersome and error prone. With clear separation on an architectural level customers can get back more agility.

Best regards
Gregor

Hello adishar

Here are my two cents.. I have been in the same boat as yours i will say you are still better as you have exposure to PI i was only an ABAPer. What changes in last few year for me was this realization I am developer and for a developer these languages are nothing but tools develop a piece of art. One thing which is core and common to all different professions is, never forget to learn something new each day! So if you ask me today we are Developer and we will learn whatever it takes to develop and design the beautiful piece of art. Isn't Fiori beautiful? So why not learn it.

Trust me learning these open source technologies will help you in a long way in shaping your career bro. So take it with a pinch of salt but trust me all it takes is to say i want to learn.

Thanks

Nabheet,

I think you can learn what is comprehendable ?

These so called sap developers have taken total fulcrum in their own hands.They have exposed limited functions for you to implement.Total work is driven by their base classes and we are simply puppets to do limited work sets.Why should developers tolerate this ??.It makes us in coffin and they are enjoying the full cream of code beauty.

We can build better solutions than them.You develop a solution and leave for sap to understand.

Even their developers will be seen struggling.

But we are not in a war.

Its a common sense as a company you deliver simply workable solutions.

If you cant deliver easy way of modification,then support companies yourself.

No sap jobs are needed.
