We are very proud to announce that Panaya won in the prestigious SAP TechEd Demo Jam in Las Vegas with ABAP Ninja.
We are especially honored to receive this award when considering the challenge. First, SAP selected only seven companies from dozens of applications. Then, the audience, comprising well over 1000 TechEd attendees, had to vote for the best application from all demonstrators.
There were seven excellent demonstrations, some of them from much larger companies such as Apple, SAP and Siemens.
Panaya won first among the non-SAP teams and SAP won the first place overall.
We would like to thank the SAP TechEd attendees for the votes, the SAP team for a superb production job and their fantastic support and hospitality. Last, but not least, we are very proud of the Panaya engineering team for solving such a difficult problem in such a short time.
And now, it’s time to unveil the Ninja!
What problem does ABAPNinja.org solve?
If you have recently upgraded to ERP 6.0, or intend to upgrade in the future, then you will most likely want to take advantage of its powerful Enhancement Framework. Enhancement Points allow you to modify standard SAP code, but in a structured way that will allow you to upgrade and deploy enhancement packs without the conflicts of traditional modifications. The problem is, that it is hard to tell which enhancement points are available for the process you want to customize. There’s very little documentation, and it could take an SAP developer several hours to find the best point.
How does ABAPNinja.org help?
ABAPNinja.org is a free web site that allows you to quickly search for the best enhancement points for your business process. You can also add your own comments and post questions to the developer community.
How did we do it?
Deciding which enhancement points impact a given transaction, directly or indirectly, is not an easy feat, to say the least. There are some 13,000 enhancement points, and over 60,000 SAP transactions, which gives over a billion possible combinations. Our engineering team have analyzed close to 0.25 Billion lines of ERP 6.0 code, using Panaya's program comprehension technology, and a grid of 50 servers over one month, to compile this huge database. Then we used Ruby on Rails to format the data as web pages.
