Career for SAP Basis consultant

Dear Friends,
I am into SAP Basis, most of the jobs have been outsourced in UK as such there are hardly any jobs in sap basis . Please can u kindly suggest me what is the next best option for SAP Basis for more career opportunities. Please kindly suggest me, I don't have job for last 10 months.
Thanks.

I am trying to reply all the bullets in your post one by one.
Some of the agencies (AtoS and some others) I have got in touch with to discuss this certification have suggested doing SAP SD or MM certification, keeping my experience in view. If I do it what is your guess how soon I could find a job with this certification.
for training and certification you can go to any SAP authorized institute , you can find many depends upon which country you are presently staying.
What kind of salary will I be able to attract if I do get a job. Currently I am getting good salary by auto industry standards (around $15K). As per the information I have got the starting salaries in these roles are some times less than half of what I am getting now.
if you are already at $15K  (1,50,000 US Dollar if i correctly understand)  then you are earning much higer then a SAP consultant having a decade experience in SAP. Better look for management job. If salary is the criteria.
Finally how fast is the growth in this industry? Let us say I do the certification spend some $500 and join a company with salary less than half of my current. After doing this, as per your experience how soon will I be able to reach or exceed the salary I would have been getting otherwise (assume I perform fairly well in my SAP role ;-).
refer the above one
So finally should I go ahead with the certification?
Certification is optional , if you just have user level experience you may not be knowing all what comes within an module, i still recommend training as it give you all back ground about SAP and you can understand most of the master data piece to create a right foundation for a module.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks

  • Should i Swap my career from hardware engg to Sap Basis Consultant?

    Hi,
    I am into computer hardware and networking since last 14 years. Now i am planning to go for SAP basis certification. Will it be helpful to obtain a good career? Or i should proceed towards microsoft certification only?
    What are the basic requirements to become a SAP Basis consultant?
    Thanks in advance
    Milind

    SAP Certification is always an added advantage those who are seeking a career in SAP. Just check with the Education Partners like Siemens / Genovate / Yash etc for the pre-requisites... One more important thing is SAP Certification is much difficult that Microsoft Certification. Hope this helps

  • CAreer in SAP BASIS comaprision with SAP GRC/Security

    Hi Everyone,
    I am an SAP BASIS consultant with 2 years of experience working in a MNC company,
    I want to change my career to SAP GRC/SAP Security, i have some basic knowledge on SAP Security,
    COuld you please advice me, which one to choose,?
    Does  SAP GRC/Security has demand , and can we get oportunities to work abroad compared to SAP BASIS ?
    which one has more scope SAP BASIS or SAP Security/GRC ?
    Because in BASIS, i am not getting enough scope to work on some good things like Installation, upgrades, Migration,
    i am doing a very basic kind of work like tranports, job scheduling, monitoring, and other small activities ?
    So request you people to advice me ?

    Hi Rakesh
    I saw your post in GRC and was waiting of it to appear here
    First up - 2 years is still junior. You may find batch jobs, transports, monitoring, etc all mundane but it is a foundation and learning ground work and foundations to being a good Basis Administration. And one things for sure, an awesome basic (I name my best-techy-friend) makes a huge difference on project timelines and deliverables for the rest of us.
    Installation and Upgrades come with time. Whilst still performing junior tasks you could focus on reading up on approaches in case an opportunity in your job comes us and be prepared to prove to your management that you are ready for a bigger responsibility.
    Switching to GRC/Security would be pointless unless you have a desire to learn GRC or Security. These are my background and they are undervalued until things go wrong (insurance policy in a way).
    If you do switch you will reset your 2 years of domain experience back to 0 and you will start off with password resets and basic user administration
    It takes time to work through the ranks. It was 3 years before I got to build my first role. I spent my first few years in security on email chasing approvals, password resets, user account creation, running reports for audit - sounds familiar to what you are doing now?
    You have to master the basics before you are trusted and ready for the more complex activities. By knowing what you are doing now you will be more successful when the time comes to step up and do migrations, upgrades and installations. Support production by mastering you technical analysis skills is how you can break through being a fresher/junior
    Regards
    Colleen
    Ps - if your motivation is more than "good things" happy to answer questions specific to security and GRC.
    Also, boring doesn't mean it can't get interesting nor does it mean it's a worthless activity: SPAU transport imported before patching!!

    Hi,
    Just use Trinidad's, I don't think 11g has an equivalent and Chris suggestion won't really work in this case as visible="false" is the same as rendered="false" for decoding purpose and you want it to be decoded in your case. Another poor man's solution would be

  • System copy tools for SAP Basis 46C.

    Hi All,
    I need to do system copy for SAP Basis 46c. I have a query regarding the tools used for system copy. It is written in the SAP Documents and we need to use the latest version of the system copy tools (i.e. R3load,R3check,R3ldctl,,R3szchk,R3trans).
    I need to do the Heterogeneouse system copy
    Source :- Oracle 9.2.0.8 , AIX 5.3
    Target :- Oralce 9.2.0.8 (Or 10.2.0.4 if possible) , Sun Solaris
    So my question is
    1) Am i suppose to use only the tools (i.e. R3load,R3check,R3ldctl,,R3szchk,R3trans) which are compatible to relase 4.6C (Kernel 46D_EXT, latest path level is 2541)  or
    2) Can i download and use the Latest version of system copy tools (i.e. Withe release 7.00 for R3load,R3check,R3ldctl,,R3szchk,R3trans) to do the herogeneous system copy of SAP Basis 4.6C ??
    Please reply.
    Thanks

    > Yes we are aware about the certified consultant. But before going for such a big project we wanted to find out the possibilities how we can minimise system downtime and optimize the process therefore wanted to have some information earlier.
    Exactly that is the use of that consultant Those are experienced people who have done lots of migrations in the past, they know the possibilities of the tools and versions.
    > So now i am very sure that we can use 10.2 while installation of new target system while doing heterogenouse system copy from oracle 9.2.
    Correct.
    > 1) Migration Monitor (source :-System copy & Migration optimization.pdf)
    > The Migration Monitor is downward-compatible. As new features and bug fixes are only implemented in the latest version, SAP urgently recommends that you always use the latest version available.
    You can use it of course but support of it is not "built in" - there's no clicker to check as is in newer versions of sapinst. You will need to modify the R3S file at the "correct place" to make use of it.
    > 2) Distribution Monitor (Source :- Distribution Monitor (version 1.9.1) Usersu2019 Guide)
    > Restrictions:-The following restrictions apply to the current implementation:The DM does not support system copies of releases lower than SAP_BASIS 6.20
    So you can't use that option.
    > 3) PACKAGE SPLITTING (source :-System copy & Migration optimization.pdf)
    > The package splitting option is available and integrated into the system copy tools R3SETUP and SAPinst since SAP R/3 4.0B SR1.
    The "old version" is a perl script, you'll need to make sure you have perl installed.
    >
    > 4) TABLE SPLITTING  (source :-System copy & Migration optimization.pdf)
    > AVAILABILITY:
    > Table splitting can be used for ABAP systems with SAP kernel 6.40 or above
    So that is also not usable.
    > 6) R3LOAD OPTIONS - (source :-System copy & Migration optimization.pdf)
    > R3load option '-fast' (<= 4.6D) or '-loadprocedure fast': These options are available
    > u2022 from SAP kernel release 6.40 for - DB2/UDB - MSSQL - Oracle (see SAP Note 1045847 - Oracle Direct Path Load Support in R3load)
    So it's also not built in for Kernel 46D_EX2.
    > Request your final comments on the above points and Need to know whether parallel import and export can be done for 4.6C (46D_EXT Kernel)  release using migration monitor. Please reply.
    As I said before and as is written in the documentation, it can be used but not "by default", you'll make sure you stop at the right place with your migration to configure it manually (or the consultant will do).

  • PI 730 - XI Content for SAP BASIS

    Dear Support,
    When I searched the SAP Marketplace for "PI 730 - XI Content for SAP BASIS", I have found the files which has .SCA extension instead of .tpz or .zip file extension.
    Am I looking into a wrong directry if so, could you please help me in pointing to the correct directory?
    Otherwise, could you please let me know the way to Import the Design Objects onto PI 730 system?
    Thank you,
    Nikee

    Hello
    The 7.30 SAP Basis content is delivered as a *sca file. You need to extract the *tpz file from this and import into the ESR in the normal manner. See the kba #1637955 PI ESR Content for SAP BASIS 7.30 for further details.
    P.S. point 6 of the previous post is incorrect - "Under this you can get XI CONTENT PI_BASIS". It is available under XI CONTENT SAP_BASIS (not PI_BASIS)

  • Req suggestion to start up Career for SAP consultant

    Hi all,
    Can u suggest me how can I start up my career as SAP Consultant in SD or WMS, I have 7 + years of  Experience in Both the modules as End user now I want to start up my career as consultant... Can u plp guide me how to Start up and what are required for the same?

    Hello Surender,
    It good that you have chosen a path to be an SAP Consultant.
    As a end user for more than 7 years, you will be familiar with business process and with SAP technicalities too.
    So, you can go ahead and give certification exam. If you feel you need a training before giving certification, You can have a formal training in SAP authorized education partner and then apply for certification.
    While going through this, i wish to tell you some things which a person should keep in mind while going for certification.
    Kindly do Remember, SAP Certification is not a Job Guarantee Program. Certification may add a value to it if you possess enough domain knowledge.
    Companies Need Consultants who have good experience and knowledge in Business scenarios.
    So, if you are good with Business process and have a valid SAP certification, then it will be easy for you to crack the interviews and get a break in your consulting career.
    Regarding to your question about which module to choose SD or WMS, It is up to you to choose a module, Learn and Excel in that.There is no standard answer for choosing a module.
    I would suggest you to choose a module in which you know the business process more.
    All the best for your SAP Consulting career.

  • Career as SAP analyst/consultant

    Hi,
    I am exploring the option to build my carrier in SAP analyst/consultant field.
    I have more than 5 years of experience of sales and business management in automotive industry. At the same time I have worked on or used SAP as a business user for these 5 years.
    I am quiet conversant with the business process, material movement, orders/approval flows etc.
    I have the desire and will but I am looking for some answers to convenience myself that it will be a good decision to move in this direction financially and in terms of career growth also.

  • Generating Proxies for SAP Basis Objects?

    All,
    Is it possible to generate proxies for your interfaces under SAP Basis Component?
    1. I checked in SPROXY on my R3 and the SAP Basis Component is not displayed  here.What I also noticed is that none of the SWCV's containing Pre Delivered Integration Content is displayed in SPROXY.
    Is it necessary that the options , <b>All Objects are Modifiable and Original Objects</b> be selected for Proxies to be generated on the SAP Shipped SWCV's?
    2. As a work around ( one which did not work ) I created a Depenedency in the SLD for my SWCV on the SAP BASIS Swcv and I am now able to see the BASIS Objects in the IR under my Custom SWCV .
    But even then in SPROXY , (basis Objects )message interfaces are not displayed.
    Has anyone tried something of this sort? Is there some setting we need to do to enable proxy generation for SAP Delivered Components?
    Regards
    Bhavesh
    PS: I am able to see my custom SWCV in SPROXY and trigger proxy calls Successfully.
    I can generate a Custom Messge interface using the Message Type of the SAP Basis Component and create the Proxy to this Message interface . But, I just want to know if anyone has had success with the above concepts

    ><i>but they are already generated... do you see that ?</i>
    I did notice it. But didnt dig deep enough . Will give this a real close look tom morning .
    <i>>>>>Does this imply, that we cannot generae proxies on SAP Basis Components?
    indeed</i>
    That answered my Question  Thanks for the info.
    I guess I will have to create a message Interface will the Message Type from the BASIS Component and use this Message Interface.
    The only issue I am now wondering with this approach would be, what if the Message Type structure changes during some SP upgrade? Due to some new feature being added?
    Any experiences to share michal?
    Thanks a bunch for all those inputs.
    Regards
    Bhavesh
