Tammy, you're getting slow! This took you a whole three minutes from the end of the call to post the notes! 😉
Wow, this is really interesting!
Questions:
cheers Carsten
My recollection -
1 - yes
2 - new roles come with the package
3 - will defer to speaker Setu Jha
Hello Carsten,
Please see my response below:
1. You can only test a Note in a system that is marked changeable. Typically scripts are disabled in production environment. The tool can be used in Q systems.
2. Debug authorization and a new authorization to run the scripting report is needed. Once the script is generated anybody who has debug authorization can load and test the script.
3. You sure can 🙂
Regards,
Setu
Thank you both for the explaining words!
Eager to try it out once it is on our system 🙂
