<p>If there is an award for the most unimpressive support pack, I believe SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 SP8 is the clear winner. All joking aside, it is strange that SAP decided to release SP8 without adding a single new features to the product. The <a href="http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4_whats_new_en.pdf" target="_blank">“What’s new” guide</a> only provides a link to the PAM and it also fails to list any new features.

<p>If there is an award for the most unimpressive support pack, I believe SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 SP8 is the clear winner.

The <a href="http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4_whats_new_en.pdf" target="_blank">“What’s new” guide</a> only provides a link to the PAM and it also fails to list any new features. In addition, <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0134dbb-8f10-3010-5084-cf90dbb35284?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&5765993597090" target="_blank">within the PAM</a>, there is not a single mention of SP08. I’m guessing this means that someone forgot to update the PAM? The <a href="https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700001253212012E/xi4_release_notes_en.pdf" target="_blank">release notes</a> contain a section for SP08 (Support Package 8) starting on page 906. There are several hundred fixes listed between page 906 and 997. My conclusion is the SP08 is all about the fixes and we need to start moving to version 4.1 to find new features. Therefore I will focus this posting on my personal top “fixes” is SP08 because there is nothing else to share.</p>

It’s the most popular SAP workflow engine to date, allowing execution of business processes within SAP application systems. It comes with predefined workflow models, but using the modeling environment, a customer can design his own workflows, tailored for his specific business needs.</span></p>

<p>If you are interested in undergoing SAP training, you will most likely already be aware of the benefits of this qualification within your profession, but do you know what the training entails, or a bit about the history of this field? Having a good idea about what you are getting into can go a long way in helping you establish a sound basis that you can build on as you go about taking the right steps to improving your career.</p>
<p><strong>What Is SAP Training?</strong></p>
<p>SAP stands for Systems Applications and Products and it is basically utilized in data processing. You will first need to have a thorough understanding of what SAP entails before you go into the specifics around its training.</p>
<p><strong>The History Of SAP</strong></p>
<p>SAP first came into being around the 1970s and it was created by engineers who were working for IBM at the time. The reason they created this software was because they wanted an alternative to the ERP systems that were being utilized so commonly at the time. Basically, their aim was to integrate these systems to make them more functional.</p>
