Career  for ABAPer

Hi all,
I am an ABAPer with one and half year of experience.
Worked on Reports,BADI,Enhancements,BDC,smart forms.
1)I wanted to know if its really worth to switch to Netweaver after having around one and half years of ABAP experience as in india promotions are faster and one remains technical person for around 7 years only as in case i take some netweaver component at this stage i will have to start from zero .
2)Otherwise if its really worth to switch to SD instead of netweaver(I do not have functional experience as i joined as fresher).
3)Further marketwise(Salary) is there too vast difference between an ABAPer and Netwaver technical consultant as it will again take one and half year to learn new Netweaver component and by the time i will be having 3 years of ABAP experience in case i decide to remain inABAP.
In other words which one is better option between one and half years of Netweaver experience or 3 years of ABAP experience or abap and functional exp.marketwise and careerwise.I will be really thankful if somebody can give a bit descriptive explanation in this regard.
Thanks.

Hi Sandeep,
                       You are on the right track and working with good area's of ABAP, So try to continue the same. In between try to acuire some skills in NW components like Portal, XI where they need ABAP knowledge. So by another 1.5 year you wll be come a NW Consultant. Don't think about switching to SD since you don't have any knowledge in domain.
All the Best.
Hari.

    Hi
    Web Dynpro for ABAP - Getting Started
    Web Dynpro for ABAP is SAP’s new standard UI technology for developing user interfaces in the ABAP environment. In the long term Web Dynpro for ABAP will be the successor of the traditional screen (“Dynpro”) based user interface technology which is based on the SAP GUI. Available with NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) Web Dynpro for ABAP provides the same declarative UI development paradigm as Web Dynpro for Java directly out of the NetWeaver ABAP Application Server. Web Dynpro for ABAP allows the development of user interfaces directly within the ABAP Workbench (SE80) and the Web Dynpro runtime environment is a central part of the ABAP server and can be used in any SAP solution based on NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) without the need of an additional server installation.
    Web Dynpro for ABAP allows the development of user interfaces in a declarative way by providing a mighty framework which abstracts the rendering technology from the core UI definition tasks. The Web Dynpro developer declares the layout and behavior of the UI without caring about HTML, JavaScript, browser specifics or the HTTP protocol. Instead the focus lies on designing graphically Web Dynpro components based on the Model View Controller model, which enforces a clear separation between the UI layer and the underlying business logic.
    This declarative Web Dynpro programming model enforces the developer to focus on the tasks of
    Designing the layout of the visible views (where should the table be placed, do I need tabs, how should the button look?)
    Declaring the flow and behavior of the application (flow between views, which event is triggered by which button click, etc)
    Defining the data binding (which internal table is displayed in a specific table, etc)
    Implementing the event handlers and controller methods.
    Without making any assumption about the used rendering technology, like which browser should be supported or if the Web Dynpro application will be later displayed in a web browser via HTML at all or in another kind of client with completely different rendering capabilities.
    The Web Dynpro Frameworks provides all important UI features directly out of the box:
    All elements (tables, buttons, trees, dropdown list boxes, etc) necessary for state of the art user interfaces are provided by the Web Dynpro Framework in the form of predefined UI element libraries.
    Complex features and behavior of UI elements.
    Internationalization of the UI. All visible strings in a Web Dynpro ABAP UI are handled by the translation system and are translated in the same translation environment like other ABAP language dependent resources. All texts are displayed automatically at runtime, dependent of the user’s credentials.
    Accessibility features are directly built into the framework and UI elements.
    A unified rendering engine generates at runtime the data which is sent to the specific client application, which is not limited to browsers but includes the NetWeaver Business Client.
    All this is available in the established environment of the ABAP application server and well known capabilities like the transportation and change management system, security environment, test and performance analysis tools or remote debugging can be used like in common ABAP development.

  • E2E Diagnostics for ABAP system

    Hello,
    I want to know steps involved to configure E2E Diagnostics for ABAP stack. I need to get workload analysis, Exception Analysis, Change analysis.. for ABAP Stack under RCA workcenters.
    Can anyone figure out all steps in managing and managed systems.
    Cheers

    Hello Das,
    Follow all steps in solman_setup (initial, basic and managed system configuatioN) carefully and patiently. You must ensure everything is executed, then you will ensure that the Managed System connectes to Solution Manager through RFCs, SMD Agent and Introscope Agent.
    To illustrate my point here, please check the image in page 4 of SAP note:

    Hi sandeep pande ,
    1) First if you shift your career from ABAP to BI, then it is better for you as u r updating yourself with advanced technologies i.e upcoming technologies(Netweaver) like BI(BW), PI(XI), EP, MDM,....
    2) Now Netweaver technolgies r hot in the market i.e either of the Netwaever technolgies i.e it helps in money wise as well as career wise.
    3) for BI we require ABAP knowledge. i.e if u check the BI at infopackage level , U see that ABAP coding is there 2 extract data.
    4) BI with ABAP is preferable.
    These r the details of BI which will gain u confidence in it:
    SAP Business Information Warehouse
    SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is the name of the Business Intelligence, analytical, reporting and Data Warehousing (DW) solution which is one of the major enterprise software applications produced by SAP AG. It was originally named SAP BIW, (Business Information Warehouse), but is now known as "SAP NetWeaver BI".
    SAP BW consists among other things of components for data management (Data Warehousing Workbench), extensive data modeling capabilities, an embedded analytical engine, a suite of rich front-end analytical tools refererred to as Business Explorer (BEx), and operational tools used for importing the most current transactional data into the system. It may be helpful to consider layers that make up the structure of SAP's BI solution:
    Extraction, Transformation and Load (ETL) layer - responsible for extracting data from a specific source, applying transformation rules, and loading it into SAP BW system.
    Data warehouse area - responsible for storing the information in various types of structures, including multidimensional structures called InfoCubes.
    Reporting - responsible for accessing the information in data warehouse area and presenting it in a user-friendly manner to the analyst or business user.
    Planning - Provides capabilities for the user to run simulations and perform tasks such as budget calculations.
    SAP's BI application is a very pervasively employed data warehouse / analytical enterprise software solution, often utilized heavily by companies that essentially run their business on SAP operational systems such as SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP, traditionally known as SAP R/3). SAP's BI solution contains a large number of predefined "extractors", a very significant amount of pre-defined business content in the form of InfoCubes, master data (i.e. objects representing the entity for "Customer", or "Material"), authorization roles, query views and reports all delivered in the software by SAP. Some of the significant benefits of this approach include the ability to leverage SAP's substantial business knowledge from many years of developing extremely sophisticated software systems for the world's largest companies, typically shortening project development cycles in the process. The pre-defined business content can be modified to meet an organization's specific requirements, while at the same time taking advantage of general aspects of these delivered data models and reports that are somewhat foundational and have broad application in business, government, and education.
    SAP BW is now part of a suite of SAP applications called SAP NetWeaver. Other components of SAP NetWeaver include SAP Enterprise Portal (EP, called SAP NetWeaver Portal as of Release 7.0), Web Application Server (WAS), SAP Process Integration (PI, or previously XI, i.e. eXchange Infrastructure) and Master Data Management (MDM).
    The 7.0 version of SAP BW was released in June 2006 as part of the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (aka 2004s). This new release includes many new features, such as next-generation reporting and analytical features, major data warehousing enhancements, and possibility to use innovative techology for query performance optimization called "BI Accelerator". BI Accelerator (or BIa) comes as an external applicance, i.e. complete hardware with pre-installed software. BIa requires separate licence fee.
    From SAP NetWeaver 7.0 on, the term SAP BW is obsolete, and instead it is referred simply as "SAP NetWeaver BI" - i.e. "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI".
    According to SAP, more than 12,000 installations of SAP's BI solution exist.
    SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) is SAP´s Data Warehouse solution. It has been specially developed to allow you to gather and analyze all kinds of statistical information in the best possible way. 
    The SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is a core element of mySAP.com. SAP BW is an enterprise-wide information hub that enables data analysis from R/3 and other business application, including external data sources such as databases and the Internet. SAP BW also offers easy integration with other mySAP solutions, such as mySAP Supply Chain
    Management (mySAP SCM), mySAP Strategic Enterprise Management (mySAP SEM), and mySAP Customer Relationship Management (mySAP CRM).
    SAP BW is a comprehensive end-to-end data warehouse solution with optimized structures for reporting and analysis. To help knowledge workers quickly mine an enterpriseu2019s business data, SAP BW is equipped with preconfigured information models and reports, as well as automatic data extraction and loading methods. 
    With an easy-to-use Microsoft Excel-based user interface, you can create, format, and analyze reports, and publish those reports to the web. Built for high performance, SAP BW resides on its own dedicated server. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and reporting activities are therefore separated, and system performance is not compromised.

    As you see above I am trying to create 'DYNFLIGHT' along with the 2 attributes which are inside this node. The structure of the node that is, no.of attributes may vary based on some condition. Thats why I am trying to create a node dynamically.
    Also I cannot define the structure in the ABAP dictionary because it changes based on condition

  • Using the Execute Preloaded Option for ABAP Dataflows in SAP BODS

    Hello All,
    This is regarding the use of Advanced Option in SAP Application Type (ECC) Datastore settings in SAP BODS 4.2, where there are two options to select from for ABAP Execution Option property: (1)Generate and Execute and (2) Execute Preloaded. Since our ECC client is often locked by BASIS team even on DEV environment, we would like to make use of the second option 'Execute Preloaded' so that we could extract the data from ECC tables without having to ask the BASIS team to unlock the ECC client every time before extraction.
    The problem is that we are getting an error upon generating and uploading the ABAP program to ECC client. I have searched the blogs and so far I have only found that there are certain ABAP programs or function modules that come with SAP BODS which need to be installed by BASIS team on ECC side to allow the ABAP dataflows to be generated and uploaded to ECC server. I would appreciate it if anyone could provide a list of which function modules BASIS needs to install on ECC or a blog that provides details around using this option.
    So far, from the SAP BODS designer, we are performing below steps but getting an error upon generating and uploading the ABAP dataflow program:
    1. Create a test ABAP Dataflow using SAP ECC datastore. Provide the ABAP program options.
    2. Right click, select Generate ABAP Program.
    3. Once the ABAP Program Generation Dialog box appears, check the box "Upload Generated Program".
    4. Upon clicking OK, we are getting the following error:

  • Follow-up webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12

    Hello,
    I wanted to get a follow up to this thread,
    Re: webdynpro for abap using portal theme nw2004s, sp12
    We are having a problem with the way reports developed in Web Dynpro for ABAP displayed in the portal (the pop-ups and dropdowns look out of wack).  The issue appears when we wrap the reports into portal themes (either standard or custom).  As per the thread (the link for which I posted above), the suggestion was to apply WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter to the WDP, however our system doesn't have this parameter in the system, but it seems like I can create my own parameter. Can some on give me all of the properties assigned to WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET in table WDY_APP_PROP_DEF.
    Thank you

    Hi Brad, I was trying to apply the note 1033496 but our ABAP servers does not have the WDFORCEEXTERNALSTYLESHEET parameter available in WDY_APP_PROP_DEF table.  All other notes are not applicable to our issue.
    The portal is NW2004s SP12, the ABAP server is NW2004 SP11

  • N4S: Web Dynpro for ABAP layout editor not working

    Have problem in Layout editor in Web Dynpro for ABAP
    I have installed NW04S Testdrive on 64bit Linux and able to login.
    SE80 is working alright.
    Next I create a Web Dynpro Comp. / Intf. and create a component.
    I double click on the View name "V_Default" . The Layout editor opens on the right side. Change into Edit Mode.
    The "View Elements" panel on the left side of layout editor is missing. This is where we select the various elements like "Textview" etc.
    Even the right click on the "ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER" to insert elements using context menu does not work.
    In summary I am not able to add any element in WD4A Layout screen.
    Is there any special plugin required to be installed?
    How to solve this problem?

    you cannot develope Webdynpro for ABAP using ECC5
    This is available with netweaver 2004s (WAS7.0) for which ramp up is going on right now and the general availability is expected sometime around 1st quarter for 2006.

  • Import Data from Office Control (Web Dynpro for ABAP) into internal-Table

    Hello,
    I have a question concerning the Office Control UI-Eelement in Web Dynpro for ABAP:
    How can I import spreadsheet data from the Office Control into  a internal-table?
    I have an Excel-sheet (without any data) which is shown initially in the Office Control. First the empty Excel-Sheet will be loaded and in the second step data from an alvxml-transformation will be loaded into the Excel-sheet with the method 'activatexmlsource'. This works so far. When I change the loaded data in the Office Control and save it it will be stored as XLS-File. The problem is that I'm not able to use existing Upload-FM because every function module I tried uses GUI-functions and WebDynpro has no GUI-functionality. I always get the error that data from clipboard cannot be imported.
    So now the question is:
    How can I import changed data from the Office control into a internal-table staying in Web Dynpro application?
    Please give some advice, if you have some useful code or ideas.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Once you save to desktop again you have made some changes to that file, this file you want to upload it right.
    Then in that case you need to use the FILEUPLOAD UI element right.
