Re-design of correspondence – existing customers
Customers that are using the existing SAPscript-based correspondence

should consider the following:
Customer have to decide between existing and new request-based

correspondence functionality
No migration support of templates from SAPscript to PDF
New customizing and BAdIs are only available for the new
correspondence solution
Some limitations apply (compared to SAPscript-based correspondence)
No Archiving and no error workflow (but error worklist)
Word serial letter no longer supported
Telex no longer supported

further development

Major improvements to the curriculum have been made based on

Exclusive use of courses
Courses can be attributed for

exclusive use

curriculum

Overview What’
Author:
Learner:

In order to leverage the reuse of learning objects, authors should be able to

perform a structured search along metadata to find appropriate learning
objects:
Consistent metadata maintenance
defining own metadata fields, setting fields to
mandatory/optional
supporting existing standards (e.g. LOM, Dublin Core)
Powerful metadata search

metadata should be indexed and
made available for search
automatically
Search using TREX technology

In order to manage outdated content, authors can mark content as

obsolete:
Existing courses remain untouched
existing bookings are not affected
For new courses, the content is no longer available
when assigning the content to courses, the obsolete courses are no longer
visible for the course administrator in the publisher’s database
No physical deletion of content

Customers want to control the versioning of content:

Delta versioning for reuse objects
in new versions of objects only changed files are stored
a new version is still created for every change
no support to change existing versions
Minor changes should reduce efforts for new version

classify changes into minor/major changes
Provide update to learners

already booked learners Learner
Import as new version of existing content

new version of external content
delta versioning will be applied at check in
mySAP ERP2005 Author Learner

Release of course
Publishing of course
Batch processing to run several jobs in parallel

Learner

Customers are not forced to use the Java Plug-in any longer
Positive impact on stability and performance when a learner starts a course
Other enhancements of the content player

The error handling was optimized.

Content and Offline Player enhancements II
To avoid loss of information browser close handling & time out handling
was improved
Explicit use of Log off function not needed anymore
Closing the browser is sufficient to immediately update learning progress
Warning message prior to a session time-out
The User interface of the Offline Player was not consistent to other
components (e.g. icons, menu structure). The User Interface was
harmonized.
Replacing some icons
