How can I migrate what SCN Blog areas I was following prior to migration of new interface? I am having a tough finding all the SCN areas that provided support in within the new interface.

My friend, you have to be a little bit more specific because if you are simply saying that you want to use search, then there would be so many questions under your question like what do you like to search or which search engine you will use, like this matters will arise. So please be a bit more specific. The existing whatever your Approved content was there in the old SCN, almost everything you can find in the drop-down Community -> Archive option. Anyways the old posts/contents you will not be able to modify or reply, hence better get used to the new. If want to post your old/unanswered Discussion-thread, then, you can recreate them with the old thread link in it & then, we would love to provide you the required assistance that you require.



Thanks,

Hi Ajay,

Please try using either the old custom Google Search, https://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=013447253335410278659:k8ob9ipscwg (from the SDN to SCN transition in 2013?)
or the new one http://bit.ly/1dx-find until the Search tool is providing the correct results. Be aware that the web crawlers have not finished indexing the blogs and other migrated content. This may impact the result set that each returns.
Note: the present onedx.find.sap.com does not include any Wiki content at this time which is where the majority of the former Jive Document landing pages ended up. The two custom Google searchs do seem to find wiki content.

Additionally, there are no communities to Follow. Now you have to Follow Primary Tags. This is, at present, a rather cumbersome procedure. First find either a Question, Blog, or Community Topic Page which has the Primary Tag in which you interested. Click on the Tag which opens a "Tag Page". Click on the faint box under the Tag: [primary tagname] which is labeled Follow. All the content related to that tag should show up in Notifications (possibly also in Activity Stream, but I have not had time to test it yet).

If there is no blog, question, or Community Topic Page with the correct tag, create a question with the specific primary tag (and Secondary tags, if desired) and make sure it contains the message that it is only for Following a specific tag (or tags). That might get you through the Moderator's screening. Then you can do the other procedure with your dummy question. Please remember to delete it after you are done following the tags.

PS, Kaushik, we seem to be covering a lot of the same ground. Feel free to copy and use anything you find of interest in my posts. Some day, hopefully soon, the majority of people will know how to use this new environment, and the major deficiencies will be fixed, so it will not require so much intervention and educating.
