Hi,
Is there any "teaser" available on features expected from 1408 release?
With Regards,
Rahul
🙂 closer to the release to market date, Rahul. We will keep you updated about the same. Thank you.
Are we closer yet? 🙂
Btw, expecting a lot of service features this time... Would love to get some info on the SAP strategy for this product's evolution. Do they want to transfer key features from CRM on-premise system to cloud or keep giving limited features only.. The product also needs to come to comparable features of SFDC.
Stay tuned for the planned information session and we will be able to provide specific guidance. Thank you.
Please check out the recording above. Thank you.
FYI all customers should have received their upgrade email from SAP Cloud Customer Success this week. It communicated the following:
The email went to the person who is maintained in your SAP Cloud for Customer tenant as the IT Contact under the Service Control Center work center.
Hi Angela,
I received the notice but when I click on the link for the details, it just brings me to a page that says "We are unable to locate the page you requested". Is there a page where it gives the login details? I need to share with other co-workers.
Thanks,
The link takes you to the Business Center, where you receive a message:
"Please log in to access this page. You currently don't have permission to view the content."
You must click "Login" in the upper right corner and enter your Business Center user ID with password.
Yes, thats what I did and that is when I get that message about not being able to locate the page.
Hi Jeff,
Were you able to resolve the problem?
--Angela
I was able to get the web meeting data from a different source but I believe the problem still persists. I'll verify the next time I have to retrieve that info. Thanks for the follow up.
Is there already a small teaser for new features?
Please check out the recording for this information. Thank you.
The post has been updated with a video that talks to some of the planned functionality that will be available with the August 2014 release of the SAP Cloud for Customer soluton portfolio offering.
Thank you.
Dear All,
Except this video, is there any existing documentation or presentation related to the new features coming with this 14.08 Release ?
I mean, some kind of detailed explanations about each of the functionalities, with screenshots... ?
Thanks.
The referenced documentation and collateral will be available after the solution is released to market/customer, planned for 22nd August 2014. Thank you.
Please find a link to the presentation used in the recording on the post as well. Thank you.
Please find updated information and links pointing you to the official collateral that is now avaialble for the Cloud for Customer - August 2014 solution release on the Service marketplace. Thank you.
Pushkar,
I found the What's New for Admin document within our C4C test tenant under the help section. There was one point that I was interested in around the new integration between Jam and C4C - Work Patterns. The help guide mentions it but does not provide a link to the document. I search the help section for this document and cannot find it.
Could you provide me a link where I can look at this document. Below is what the Help doc is suggesting
Jeff,
Hopefully you have access to the SAP Service Marketplace.
Please refer to item
8b. at http://service.sap.com/cloud4customer
Please advise in case you face any access problems.
Thank you,
Pushkar
Pushkar,
Thanks for the link. It was helpful but a bit confusing. Can you direct me where I can find more info. Here is my issue. Looking at the guide, the first step (1.1.1.1) page 4 says to configure OAuth Server by going to the Administrator work center and selecting OAuth 2.0 Client Registration view. We do not have this view at all so we cannot get past this step.
Are the instructions incorrect or am I missing something ?
Thanks,
Jeff
Jeff,
Please find the navigation path to the configuration screens outlined below:
Admin work center:
Click on the workcenter name to open the rest of the menu
On the right hand side are the OAuth related links that allow you access to the setup screens:
When you click on the client registration link the screen should look approximately like
Further to the right is the "Configure OAuth...." link as highlighted below
Clicking on the link should give you a screen that approximately looks like this below
Clicking on "New OAuth 2.0...." and the screen should approximately look like the below:
Please advise if this does not help.
Thank you.
Thanks but as I stated in my previous message, I do not have the " OAuth 2.0 Client Registration" option in my Administrator Work Center so I cannot even get past the first step. What should we do?
Attaching my screen shot.
Hi Jeff,
You have to assign the view to the work center. To do so:
1) From the Administrator work center navigate to General Settings>Business Users (which is under the Users section).
2) Use the Find option to for search your business user and click Edit>Access Rights.
3) Under the Work Center and View Assignment tab, click Find and enter the ID - SECURITY_OAUTH_CLNT_REG. Click Locate.
4) Select the view OAuth2.0 Client Registration by checking the Assigned to User check box.
5) Click Save.
After you have saved the information, log off from the Cloud for Customer system and login again. You will be able to see the view and a common task under the Administrator work center.
Please let me know if you need further assistance on this.
Thanks,
Jenny
Thanks Maria Jennifer Selvaraj
Thanks Jenny. That was very helpful A note of suggestion. The instructions that I was using to set up the Work Patterns assumes a user has this option. It would be helpful to add a note in the instructions to indicate that if a user does not see this option to add it via the steps you described.
Thanks again!
Jeff
Sure Jeff. I will update the guide with this information.
Thanks
Jenny
