This is a cross-posting of this question on answers.sap.com. Has the SQL Anywhere topic been deleted, along with all the questions and posts? As of 6:56 AM EST on September 26, 2018 the following link no longer works: https://www.sap.com/community/topic/sql-anywhere.html Instead of going to the SAP SQL Anywhere community like it used to, it redirects to the Browse Community Topics on this page: https://www.sap.com/community/topics.html An attempt to search for SQL Anywhere yields No matching records found |
Well, according to the Community heads, it's no bug but by design, see the "What's New" article. To cite:
Apparently, according to the powers that be we are dealing with either a product with no "SAP product experts" or without relevance (or both). - Gladly, there still are some experts here... Nevertheless, the following link to the questions with the "SAP SQL Anywhere" tag still works: https://answers.sap.com/tags/67837800100800005169 As before, don't use the "SQL Anywhere" tag as that is restricted to Japanese questions (for whatever reasons). And as a funny effect the new design does not allow nested comments anymore, as discussed here. - I shared some ranting there but then again, the official answer is:
Resume: It is really all too funny (*) that this forum works well with OSQA (and enhancements) whereas the SAP Community Q&A developers obviously have been unable to make a proper design work with OSQL's big brother "AnswerHub" for two years now. (*) "Funny" as long as this excellent forum stays in plase, that is. 2
A reason to give another big thanks to Graeme and everybody else from the SQL Anywhere team involved:) - Thanks that this forum follows the Watcom Rule and usually simply works as expected. - As mentioned, that cannot be considered as granted.

The question is wrong! It should have been... Product Announcement: This forum is now the only SAP SQL Anywhere Community!With the redesign and demise of sap.com/community/topic/sql-anywhere.html, this forum has become not just the best, but the one-and-only SQL Anywhere community in existence. ...and that's a good thing! Hm, but I did also answer your cross-post over there... FWIW, both you and me would never have asked real questions there, because the experts are here. That won't change, I guess.

> over there Over where? :) Seriously, there is no "over there" any more, and it is a real benefit not having to check two places to see if anyone needs help. Alas, not everyone can escape, but some can :)... PS I changed your "call a bug a bug" page link to an image link... excellent choice!

It happens all the time to me, when I right mouse click on "copy link address" or some other choice, instead of "copy image address".
