What’s New in 1711 SAP Hybris Cloud for Customer – Transport Management (Beta Release)

With 1711, we released a new beta feature on moving different types of content from development to test to production tenants of C4C, more popularly known as the Transport Management.

A customer would typically have multiple tenants designated with a role e.g. Development, QA, Pre-Production, Production etc. There are different ways of transferring all the content that a developer or a key user creates in the development or a test tenant. You can move the key user changes like page layouts, extension fields, code list restrictions using content transfer by downloading the XML file from the test tenant and uploading it in the production tenant. Similarly, the PDI solution needs to be assembled and downloaded as a zip file from the development tenant and then uploaded to a target (test/production) tenant. Workflow rules, BRF+ rules, analytics content etc. have their own file download/upload mechanism to move the content.

We have released a new feature of transport management to have a one single and simple mechanism to collect all the content that is created during implementation or maintenance of the product, rather than having multiple ways of downloading and uploading the content.

This is a Beta release, so currently only the key user changes are supported, however with upcoming release we plan to include more types of customer content.

With this feature, you can collect all the key user changes created for different UIs in a single transport object in the source and move it to the target tenant. This will significantly reduce the manual effort of creating, organizing, managing and controlling all the customer content. Since, it’s automated process of assembly, release and deployment, it helps reduce errors and redundancy during the deployment.

The below screenshot explains process on a high level. You can also follow the video to understand the entire process.

Since it’s beta release, you can use this feature only in the test tenants and available on request. This function is not available for use in the production tenant. If you would like to activate this function in your test tenants, you will need to create an incident from within the tenant.

Enjoy !!

If you activate this feature, you understand and agree to the following conditions: Feature is not covered by SAP support agreements or warranty obligations.

PepsiCo’s Shakti Jauhar Selects GENYOUth as the Beneficiary of SAP’s Inaugural Klaus Tschira Human Resources Innovation Award Prize

WALLDORF — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced that Shakti Jauhar, PepsiCo senior vice president of Global HR Operations and Shared Services, has selected GENYOUth, a leading U.S. nonprofit organization focused on elevating youth leadership to advance wellness in schools and communities, as the beneficiary of the inaugural Klaus Tschira Human Resources Innovation Award $10,000 prize.

The New York-based nonprofit GENYOUth empowers students to create a healthier future for themselves and their peers through a range of national initiatives, including the largest in-school wellness program, Fuel Up to Play 60 (in partnership with the National Dairy Council and the NFL), which has reached 38 million students nationwide. In collaboration with a network of business and community leaders, including SAP, GENYOUth also runs the Adventure Capital program to fund and mentor young people’s ideas for social entrepreneurship and to develop their leadership skills.

The award commemorates SAP cofounder Klaus Tschira and his vision for SAP to revolutionize human resources to help organizations unleash the full potential of their employees. Shakti Jauhar was selected as the winner at the SuccessConnect event in London earlier this year in recognition of his leadership and commitment in taking PepsiCo’s HR operations and people forward with innovation.

“There were strong candidates nominated for the inaugural Klaus Tschira Award, but it was clear Shakti shares the bold leadership signified by the man whose name is on the award,” SAP SuccessFactors* President Greg Tomb said. “Shakti has been an extraordinary partner for SAP in driving our shared vision of how technology supports a people-centric approach to business success. The selection of GENYOUth to be the charitable beneficiary of the Tschira Award is a great match as Klaus Tschira was himself an enormous financial supporter of, as well as personally invested in, impacting the experiences of young people.”

PepsiCo was an early adopter of cloud-based HR and has been a key co-innovation partner with SAP in building solutions for global HR transformation. PepsiCo today runs SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and SAP SuccessFactors Talent solutions to support its digital workforce strategy for over 260,000 employees across 80 countries.

“We’ve partnered with SAP from the start,” Jauhar said. “With our people globally now on one cloud-based HR platform, we’ve reached a major milestone. But to some extent, we are really just getting started with our journey. I am delighted to receive this recognition for our vision, but I am even more excited to select the recipient for this meaningful contribution. GENYOUth provides valuable services that nurture millions of youth across the United States and empower them to become healthy, high-achieving students.”
