We are doing a global deployment of SAP solution and want to find out if we should be using the SAP GUI for HTML instead of the client version as some of the global locations are small. Is there a best practice document on when we should be using a specific GUI client provided by SAP?

TechEd 2014 Summary - SAP Screen Personas, Fiori, and the simplified UX
TechEd 2014 was amazing. There was so much excitement around SAP Screen Personas, Fiori, and SAP’s new user experience (UX) in both Las Vegas and Berlin. For me, the highlight was meeting so many customers and partners with whom I had previously only spoken over email, phone, and in web conferences. Also it was great to meet several new customers that had gone live on SAP Screen Personas without the product team knowing about it.
Thanks to everyone that expressed interest in SAP Screen Personas
Thank you to the hundreds of people that attended one or more of our lecture, hands-on, and expert sessions.
I would like to thank the customers and partners that presented their successes with SAP Screen Personas:
- Patrick Conklin of Kiewit for his expert session in Las Vegas in which he showed some great, simplified screens
- Shane Kelly of RA Chisholm and Patrick for their video interview in the ASUG studio in Las Vegas in which they discussed how they are using SAP Screen Personas to improve productivity in their respective organizations
- Aditya Kothuri and James Shen of Deloitte for their expert session in Las Vegas about the process they follow with their clients for unlocking value through simpler SAP Screens
- Ira Feinberg of Return on Intelligence for his expert session on a simple process to determine how employees spend their time on various functions and where to find the best processes to simplify
- Steve Rumsby of University of Warwick who demoed his “Personas Bubble” cockpit in a couple of expert sessions and also served as a teaching assistant in the Berlin hands-on sessions. Steve Rumsby was also interviewed by Denis Browne about how he has used SAP Screen Personas at the University. We all appreciate Steve’s willingness to share his knowledge and experience. He has certainly earned his SAP Mentor status.
Also thank you to the other members of the core and extended SAP Screen Personas product team (Sebastian, Tobias, Tamas, Clemens, Sylvia, Fernando, Ralph, Dirk, and Michael) that worked tirelessly conducting lectures, hands-on sessions, demos, and interviews, performing usability testing, hosting 1:1 meetings with customers and partners, and setting the record straight about how SAP Screen Personas fits into the SAP UX strategy.
SAP Screen Personas 3.0
Several themes in SAP Screen Personas 3.0 seemed to resonate with the audiences at TechEd:
- The ability to create screens in Web GUI and render them in SAP GUI 7.40. We are still putting the final touches on this, but certain scenarios work today.
- The combination of SAP Screen Personas running in NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC). This has been possible for a while, but it is significantly easier in version 3. One area that is greatly simplified is single sign-on. Also, customers now have the choice to run Web GUI or SAP GUI inside the NWBC shell.
- The power of JavaScript in the new SAP Screen Personas 3.0 scripting engine. Some quick demos overcame apprehension from beginners. The experts immediately recognized the power of a full programming language and advanced debugging tools (integrated in the various browsers, as opposed to provided by SAP) for automating various keystroke combinations and trapping errors to present business users with a highly simplified way to consume SAP ERP screens.
- The leap in usability between the earlier versions of SAP Screen Personas and the all-new, HTML-based version 3. Sebastian and Tobias discussed this with SAP Mentor Phil Loewen.
SAP Screen Personas and Fiori
In the various user experience strategy sessions, presented in various forms by Andreas Hauser, Nis Boy Naeve, Johannes Wasserfall, and Michael Falk, it was clear from the audience questions that we still have work to do in positioning SAP Screen Personas and Fiori as complementary solutions rather than competing approaches. If you did not participate in these discussions, I covered this in a short interview, but let me recap here:
- If a Fiori app exists, use it.
- If it does not do exactly what you want, but is close, then modify it using Web IDE.
- For the other 15,000 SAP GUI transactions or transactions that you have created or customized, then use SAP Screen Personas.
SAP Screen Personas 3.0 ramp-up status
There were also many questions about the ramp-up status of SAP Screen Personas 3.0 and when we would release to the general public. We are currently in the midst of a very active ramp-up program, working with a few dozen customers and partners to exercise the product through various scenarios to ensure you have a great experience when we make it available as a generally available product. Our current plan (not a commitment!) is to release SAP Screen Personas in 2015 Q1.
Quickest path to simplified screens
For those of you that are new to SAP Screen Personas and thinking about getting started, do not wait. Your users will thank you for making their life easier. Here is how to get started:
- Download SAP Screen Personas 2.0 from SAP Service Marketplace
- Go through the discover, design, develop process (detailed on slides 8-16)
- Transport your flavors from development to QA to production and go live
- Migrate to SAP Screen Personas 3.0 when the time is right for you
Slides from sessions
UXP203 2-hour lecture on SAP Screen Personas 3.0
UXP263 2-hour hands-on session for SAP Screen Personas 3.0 (no slides available as this was a hands-on session)
EXP17583 Expert session with Ira Feinberg of Return on Intelligence (Las Vegas)

Screen Personas - Errors after transporting to quality
Hi,
We have created flavors using SAP Screen Personas 2.0 SP02 (updated to patch released on 30th October). We transported our changes from Dev to QA system and are facing issues with Script buttons and Standard buttons not functioning. The script buttons give "Step * of the executed script failed. Failed to fire action." errors.
This is working fine in Dev system (no errors in the Console) and I checked the import history in stms (in quality) and everything is fine.
I then tried troubleshooting the issue in my browser using the debugging techniques and on flavor load, I see a the following error message in the console (repeated many times).
25-11-2014 11:16:08,617192 ERROR Sap.Imagineering.Personas.Profiles.ProfileManager->ApplyChange - Error in Profile Manager ApplyChange
Also, when I click the script buttons, the following error is displayed.
25-11-2014 12:23:52,598350 ERROR Sap.Imagineering.Personas.Base.Controller.<>c__DisplayClass1d-><Execute>b__1a -

Setting connection icon in SAP Logon 730
Hi SCN community,
we'd like to distribute a new saplogon.ini with SNC-enabled systems in it.
Usually the connection icon in the SAP Logon 730 overwiev then changes to an extended icon with a key and a "certificate stamp".
You can see it in the screenshot below.
But after testing the file we noticed that the icon looked like the standard icon. We had to open the properties, didn't do any changes and then the icon changed to the "secure icon", at least I like to call it like that.
Does anybody know a solution e.g. how we can preset the icon for SNC-enabled systems?
Thank you very much for your efforts 
(these are the 2 types of connection images I've mentioned)

Do anybody use silent Logon with not EN language?
I use LogonCtrl (wdtlog.ocx size=623240):
oLogonCtrl = CreateObject("SAP.Logoncontrol.1")
I have a problem with the transmission and reception of characters of the Russian alphabet (RU)
In normal connection:
oConnection.logon(0, False)
we see on the screen dialog logon with fields of definition of language and other parameters. All parameters are assigned earlier:
oConnection.client = "qwe"
oConnection.user = "qwe"
oConnection.Password = "qwe"
oConnection.System = "qwe"
oConnection.Language = "RU"
they do not change , just click OK to confirm. In this case, all is well.
If I use the silent logon (without show logon-dialog):
oConnection.logon(0, True)
Language is not defined.
If I transfer to sap Russian characters I see in SAP unicode symbols instead of the normal Russian words.
If I get russian text from SAP, I have #### characters instead of the characters of the Russian alphabet.
All other parameters are passed correctly.
Do anybody know, is it bug in this control? Must I find another version of this control?

Rendering screens in sap personas ?
Hi,
We all know that whenever we log into the personas ,each page in Personas is cached individually and only when the page is accessed for the first time.
Is there any way to cache all the pages initially. If this can be achieved , personas can run faster without any delay. Is this achievable ?
Iam using personas version 2.

Personas: how to 'backup' flavors on the same sysyem?
Hi Personas experts,
I was trying to find a way to 'backup' some flavors that I created and want to keep. After the backup, I can delete them from Personas.
As a testing, I export a favor, then delete the flavor from Personas. Next, I want to restore the flavor by importing the flavor from the same system.
Now it is sadly found that a flavor exported from a system cannot be imported on the same system. Anyone has an idea how to solved this?
I tried a solution but it is too much complicated - I export the flavor on one system, then import it on another system, then export again the flavor, finally, import the flavor back to the original system. Any idea better than this?
Thanks.

Creating Flavors for Enjoy Transactions e.g. BP & some queries
Hi all,
I am new to personas.. Had the following queries:
1. Is it possible to create flavors on enjoy transactions e.g. BP?
2. Suppose i create a flavor for a transaction. Then i write a script on the transaction. When the script is executed will it automatically pick the flavor created for the transaction and assigned to the user? How does this work?
3. A button(not tab) in a transaction opens a new screen. Can the contents of this screen be brought into the main transaction?
regards
Nitesh
