SAP recently announced that service update 12 will include a new “Cockpit” and a preview to the new “Dashboards” functionality in the solution. It also includes other features such as queues and high speed ‘google’ like search.
They recorded a webinar/video which I have posted in hi-def on youtube. To check out how the cockpit feature works, see below:
There is a lot of discussion back and forth about reporting speeds in business and accounting applications. I recently did some benchmark testing as shown in this video below to highlight the difference.
MAS90 and MAS200 run on a flat file database. The way it is written, internal ‘hard coded’ reports run fairly quickly, but reports and external applications that access its data via ODBC (such as Crystal Reports) can be painfully slow.
This issue becomes even more obvious when reports use more than one ‘left outer join’ which means you are matching up data from two places where there isn’t a guarantee data exists to link in both tables. An example of this is an Invoice History report showing salesperson information from another table but yet MAS 90 doesn’t require a salesperson to be associated with an invoice.
We’ve recently compiled a comprehensive group of videos for Sage MAS90 and MAS200 that cover al the major modules, and key add ons. We then captured, re-encoded them into flash and have embedded them all here on this blog.
Remember you can view any of these full screen by clicking on the full screen icon in the lower right of the video.
Have you ever wanted to cut down on the number of servers needed to run your Sage MAS90, MAS200 or MAS500 server? Want the ability to ‘undo’ a recent product or OS update?
Virtualization allows you to run multiple servers within one physical box. They are easy to copy, move and even ‘rewind’ soyou can undo those changes.
Here is a recent document from Sage showing tested comp ability with various virtualization options.
One of our www.90minds.com members put together a great ‘cliff notes’ sheet on all the new features in this service release. Including:
