My boss caused an outage this weekend while I was on call by doing some totally unnecessary work. I got paged and had to bail him out. He should have known what he did would cause an outage because the last time someone did this thing it caused an outage, too, and there is an open issue on it. How much scotch is it reasonable for me to demand from him, and of what age? (My boss owns and we have a great relationship, for the record, but I feel the need to make an example of this)

Do you live somewhere with a large selection? (Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, one presumes NYC but my knowledge there is non-existant.) Why go dollars and age statement when you can go obscure? Just pick something 12-18 years $75-100 from a producer you both like, then drink it with him.

Today our SAP support team scheduled downtime for a refresh of our test system with our production system data claiming it would be 2AM-7AM. We planned our downtime until 11AM to be safe. At 1145AM I was informed that the estimated downtime was another 15 hours and they were planning to continue that plan. That was a fun argument

I was under the impression that was possible! We were told “standard SAP procedure” involved doing a full export of production, during which prod would be unavailable

I'd fire everyone I could get my hands on if a prod upgrade with downtime took 15 hours, and would hope they'd already left before realizing I didn't have the authority to do so.

Depending on the hours of the business, it may not be a big deal. I would be ok if certain things were down for over a day. But in this case, I am going to guess SAP is backed by SAN storage, so why not clone the database and export from that? I don't know anything about SAP specifically, so i could be way off base.

Realistically 24 hour downtime isn’t the end of the world for us if we plan for it ahead of time. Most production paperwork can be gotten from SAP the day before,and any post-ship stuff can be done once it’s back up. The real problem was the team in India thinking we could just extend downtime for 15 hours ad hoc. Our test system hasn’t been updated in a few years, so it runs into some issues between test and prod. Our SAP implementation is from 98 so while I’m sure there are much easier ways to do things I don’t know how or if it’s even possible in this iteration

What's wrong with having a baby seat in a vette? As long as it's rear-facing and she turned off the passenger side airbag it's all good. Making good money (by being a SAP consultant) and having a baby (that will then have a nice college fund and hopefully good medical care etc. as a result of affluent parent(s)) sounds like common sense to me.

Wibla posted:It'll quite happily bring it to it's knees when being setup, too I will readily admit to never having ridden in a Corvette, but I've tried using a car seat in small two door vehicles and its not fun. I guess it's more an unusual dedication to form over function since we live in a very congested area and no one commutes in Corvettes, much less uses them as family haulers. I recall 'Vettes having big trunks though so there's that I guess.

Stay as far away as I can while being in the same company. $JOB doesn't use SAP, but a prior job did. Based on the constant IT alerts for upcoming maintenance downtimes, SAP is apparently made of cobwebs and toothpicks.

The problem with SAP and really most ERPs is they are highly customizable and this is great for business but 95% of the time people asking for these customizations get to make the decision without any actual clue of how it will impact things as a whole and then they build customs on customs to make sure other aspects of their business aren’t broken by the first custom change and then after years of unchecked customization you run into a complete bastardization of enterprise software with everyone in the company convinced your ERP is actually trash and a complete waste of money

And also you can't update it or everything falls apart We're on an ERP written in the 80s. Tried to plan an upgrade/conversion a year ago, administration realized it would take 18+ months and $$$ so they decided to kick that can down the road a couple years
