Lets Log in to the SAP Cloud ...

Planet SAP

moved into the Cloud in 2012.
It was the beginning of a new Era,
as even I myself
moved all my things into the Cloud
in the same year.

No more failing hard disk,
or a need to duplicate data to multiple hard disk
anticipating possible failures of the old one.
All you need to do is now to
duplicate your data into multiple Clouds.

I follow SAP into the Clouds,
I was a dedicated SAP disciple,
I am also very much a Cloud person now.

Even now, when I teach SAP classes,
I would always say, lets log into the Cloud
first thing in the morning.

But secretly, before the class begins,
I pray
to have a peaceful day
in the SAP Cloud.

Usually my prayers are never answered !!!
I always have BAD Cloud days.

When SAP is a bit slow in processing a transaction,
I would then say to the students
"Do not walk away from your seats yet;
well, no need to fasten your seat belts,
we are experiencing turbulence in the SAP Cloud,
be patience as it will be over soon."

Occasionally, it happens as in Murphy's Law,
as no matter how well one knows the IMG,
there are days where parameters you configured
just does not seem to work when you demo in the Application,
And it is really quite embarrassing
in front of a class when you confidently
try to show something which does not work,
you get what I mean !!!
I would then say to the students
"The SAP Cloud seems to be behaving quite strange today,
I hope we are not in the wrong Cloud,
You guys go for a tea-break and
I will check on the Cloud conditions,
trust me,
it should return to normal when you come back"
To be honest, most of the time when this happens,
it is usually a slight mistake in my configuration settings,
It is usually my silly mistakes; 

When the students return from the tea break,
I would then say to the students
"The SAP Cloud was very stable, its made in Germany,
it was my silly mistake,
I was the one who caused the Cloud issues,
we are in Good SAP Cloud Conditions now"

Sometimes in the middle of an SAP Exercise,
the system just hang and log us out.
I would then say to the students
"The SAP Cloud is witnessing a terrible
thunderstorm, we have no choice
but to aboard the system or otherwise
we will "crash", this is only for your own safety,
don't worry as soon the Cloud conditions allowed,
we will take off again back into the SAP Cloud"
It did seem that such cases happen
almost around or just before Lunch Breaks !

Every Friday as I make my closing remarks
in my SAP class
I would then say to the students
"I believed you have enjoyed and learned something
in the SAP Cloud,
I know it has not been easy,
as in life there are always ups and downs,
sometimes turbulence and sometimes thunderstorms,
but don't worry
we will continue to strive
to serve you better the next time
you log into our SAP Cloud.
Have a nice weekend
while you are not in the SAP Cloud.
We look forward to
see you again in our next SAP Cloud encounter."

And by the way ...
All my teaching notes using Microsoft One Note
are in another Cloud

See, 

I have truly embraced the 
Cloud culture
I am a Cloud Person
