My currently client feeds non-SAP dbs via a mixture of csv flat files - but without having problems of them being malformed - and via SAP XI/PI middleware thing.

yes a lot of the self service stuff has moved back onto the backends
but BPM will keep wdp4j alive with ce soa apps for mdm and pi
anyway, I don't care what they're programming in, I'm basis with focus on the non-a systems
the systems the old basis dinosaurs are scared to touch - just the way I likes it

done some interesting stuff this week
got bpm transports in the ce landscape via nwdi to work with charm and cts+ close coupling attaching the assembly to an stms transport request
and it works
today deploying jars from an upgraded mq into pi using the jspm and specially modified sda as the container
that's the beauty of .Net, you're learning every day

You have very little control over what 'something' is.
Sadly many design and Process bods rule out this along with common sense when building appilcations and processes.

stay away from all the Java based components, they're mine
you lot stick to anything involving the gui and leave the rest for me
so that means anything running on J and also MDM
if it involves the gui I'm not interested

Now I ******* hate it because i have to use it to fill in my hours and make my timesheet and the bloody thing doesn't work, you have to fill in your hours, some secretary who's invariably off sick has to then accept them, before sending them to a random PM to accept and only then I can print the bloody sheet and get it signed by my own PM. And all the while SAP fails to recognize the dates I've filled in using the little calendar provided in the app, bla bla bla what a load of overpriced overrated overblown bollox.

The could not even get my name on the office door correct. It read's 'Scot Scooter' and of course the error has filtered to every electronically registered file in the universe, including SAP.
Except they managed to work my middle name into the equation.
Log on using firstname.lastname they said.
So please tell me. What do you have for my firstname.lastname?
Just use firstname.lastname.
Got my login name right by standing over the guy while he did it.
Eventually.
Course certificate still came out wrong.
