Suddenly missing authorization for some documents

[stephaniedaum]

Hi colleagues,

There are 2 SCN pages that are not accessible any longer, neither for myself (I created them), nor for others:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-31192
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-31228

What can I do?

(Sorry - I'm not sure whether I'm suposed to post this here. There is no SCN ticket component and no other appropriate SCN place!)

Best regards

Stephanie

Hello,

These documents were created in a personal space and all personal space documents have been deactivated to prevent them from being used to create spam on SCN. Unfortunately the content is entirely inaccessible so I cannot help you with it at the moment. 

We're working on a way to restore these but no details are available yet.

OK, for the time being, I upload the PDF to the SAP Service Marketplace and link to it from the SCN ...

[GOB]

The document DOC-31192 is referenced in an OSS Note 1783476 - Additional NetWeaver Product
System for Suite Java Systems

From OSS Note...

...

More Information

The second and third links are broken!

Why was this done?

I suspect thousands of links in OSS Notes are now broken!!

Hi Greg,

Yeah, as Jason pointed out, the links to those documents that were uploaded to the SCN, once, seem to be permanantly broken.

Since NO restore was available, I uploaded the documents to our SMP space and set new links, which are PERMANENT!

For the 2 documents you mention, the new links are:

Maintenance Planning Guide:
https://service.sap.com/~sapdownload/011000358700000639422012E/MaintPlan_Guide_71_SP05.pdf

White Paper: SAP Solution Landscape:
https://service.sap.com/~sapdownload/011000358700000130542013E/WhitePaperSAPSolLandscape.pdf

It's also all at http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29495

I will replace the old links in SAP Note 1783476. Thanks for pointing this out!

Of course I do not know what to do about the many(?) other links to no longer existing documents...

Best regards, Steffi
