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

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!!

  • Integrate 'External non-SAP Purchasing Application' with SAP SD for third party purchasing/ drop shipping?

    What is the best way to integrate 'External non-SAP Purchasing Application' with SAP SD for third party purchasing/ drop shipping?
    Details about expected process Flow.
    Receive PO from customer into SAP > SAP SD creates Sales Order > ?? SAP Integrate with External non-SAP Purchasing Application to trigger purchasing > External non-SAP Purchasing Application creates PO, Ships Material to Customer Ship to address (drop ship), Sends Shipping confirmation (FCR) & Invoices to SAP> ??Receive FCR and Invoice in SAP > ?? Initiate SAP Accounts Payable (Vendor Payments) and Accounts Receivable (Customer Invoice) > ?? Update SAP SD Sales Order with shipping status>
    Questions we need to answer;
      - How to achieve '??' steps from above process.
      - What type of Master Data we will need to configure (Say Materials Item Category, Type etc.)
      - Any standards options to configure SAP SD (Type of Sales Order)
      - We certainly don’t want to trigger SAP MM Purchasing (i.e. PR, PO etc.). How can we bypass it.
      - How to make statistical receipts against sales order line items so that SO status will be updated.
      - How to receive Invoice and FCR from External non-SAP app to trigger AP and AR transactions.
      - Are there any SAP standard configurations/ BAPIs/ BADIs available to achieve this integration.
    Any inputs on above questions are appreciable.
    Anand.

    This question is resolved. We ended up activating purchasing module and used purchasing documents PR/ PO to integrate with third party purchasing system.

  • What is BC SET in SAP BASIS related to SAP Security.....................

    Hi All,
    Please explain me what is BC SET in SAP Basis which is related to SAP Security.
    Can anyone explain in detail...
    Thanks Much.
    Swapna.D

    Hi
    Prerequisites
    You want to create a BC Set from a transport request. A transport request containing Customizing data must already exist.
    This Customizing request is a change request with which you can copy and transport the changed system settings.
    The BC Set is based on the data in the Customizing request. You can copy all the data records in the Customizing request into the BC Set, or select a subset.
    You can subsequently edit BC Sets created from transport requests.
    Procedure
    Enter the Customizing request number and Continue.
    You can search for requests with the F4 help. The request type is Workbench/Customizing requests. The request status is changeable or released.
    You get an overview of the transport objects in the transport request. To put a transport object in the BC Set, flag the row Copy.
    The Status column tells you the BC Set-compatibility of the transport object. It can have the following values:
    ·        green traffic light: The transport object can be put in the BC Set.
    ·        yellow traffic light: BC Set creation or activation problems are possible. Check whether all data records have been put in the BC Set, after you create it.
    ·        red traffic light: Table entries exist, but they cannot be interpreted. They cannot be put in the BC Set.
    ·        Cancel: The transport object cannot be interpreted or put in the BC Set.

  • SAP Sourcing 7.0 integration with SAP ERP - issue with SAP PI

    Hi All,
    We are integrating SAP Sourcing 7.0 with SAP ERP 6.0 with SAP PI 7.1 in middle. So the Sourcing will talk to PI and this intern will talk to ERP. Sourcing is on oracle 11g where as PI and ERP are on SQL 2008. All these 3 are on windows 2003 x64.
    We are following the "Configuration Guide Integration of SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing 7.0" provided by SAP.
    We have successfully configured Sourcing and PI systems as pe the document. In Sourcing, by using background jobs we are able to successfully generate files in "export" folder which is part of FTP directory.
    However the issue is with PI, we configured the "configuration scenerio" in Integration builder and point all channels to the FTP folder in Sourcing. But PI is not picking up these files.
    Is there any way to trigger this in PI system. Or do we need to do anything in sourcing itself.
    Regards,
    Siva.

    Hello Siva,
    I am thinking that you may need to deploy FTP adapter in PI to get this process work fine but not sure.
    Let's see what other experts suggest.
    Thanks,

  • Integrating SAP Java Connector with SAP XI

    Hi XI experts
    We are about to integrate our SAP ERP2004 system with a new WMS system.  The vendors of the WMS system normally integrates with ERP directly through SAP Java Connector, but we would like to put SAP XI between the two systems so we have good way of monitoring the messages beeing sent.
    I would like to make a synchronous test scenario where we send a ARTMAS idoc from SAP to XI which sends it to the WMS. After WMS system receives the ARTMAS Idoc it sends an acknowledgement back to XI which passes it on to SAP.
    The integration would then look like this:
    SAP ERP <-> SAP XI <-> WMS (Jco)
    Is this scenario possible? And if so, how would you suggest to set it up?
    I was thinking of using the RFC adapter to connect to the Java Connector of WMS, but am not sure if this is the right approach or how it should be set up.
    Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.
    Best Regards
    Chris

    I have made a setup like this:
    SAP <-> XI <-> WMS
    The Scenario is like this:
    SAP sends an ARTMAS03 idoc to XI which maps it directly to the same ARTMAS03 idoc structure (need a few changes in the future so thats why im not using IDOC tunnelling) then it uses a RFC receiver adapter to connect to our SAP gateway, where the WMS is registrered through JCO.
    When I first sent the idoc, i got a "RfcAFWException: failed to read funtionname from XML document: missing namespace declaration(2)" then after reading Q23 in note 730870, I used the RFCNormalizer xslt to change the namespace to a "urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:fuctions" instead of the "urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages". The error is now "functiontemplate from repository was <null>".
    As far as i can see the error is because the metadata repository defined in the RFC adapter cant find the function module that normally would be in the root of a RFC-XML. But I dont know how I can send an Idoc through the rfc adapter to the gateway then. Anyone got some ideas?
    Thanks

  • Configure Sap NetWeaver MDM with Sap Netweaver XI

    SAP NetWeaver MDM communicates with SAP NetWeaver XI by writing an XML file into a directory on a file server.
    Can someone gives me  an idea about the path of this file server? How can I configure it?

    Hi Stan,
    In addition to that Harrison told you,if you want automatic syndication of records ,then you must have to use syndication server.In case of syndication server the path of output file is always fixed and you cannot configure it.Path will be as follows:-
    <b>
    SAP MDM Root Directory\Server\Distributions\<server name> \ <Database instance name>\<Repository name>\Outbound\<client System code>\<Output Port Code> \Ready\</b>
    If u want  scheduled syndication of records(i.e. in batch mode) ,then u can use syndicator batch.And for manual syndication ,use syndicator .Both of these components will syndicate file where ever u want/specify on the file system.
    For more details about syndicator batch

    Hi Nicky,
    As per my knowledge, there is no separate licensing required for HANA studio. License for HANA d/b or Enterprise HANA license is sufficient.
    Installation of HANA studio will not ask for any licenses.

  • Invoice List SAP script - Problem with SAP script functionality

    Hello Friends,
    I am working on SAP script - Invoice List SD_INVOICE_LIST. The invoice list contains the underlying billing documents. As per the standard functionality, in the line items, its printing the underlying billing documents with the net value. My requirement is to dig these line items into another level, meaning, I need to display the line items of billing documents  as well(like material, material description, quantity, net price and net value of that item etc).
    The billing linte item informatin is stored in VBRP table and the VBRP structure is not at all defined in the print program of SD_INVOICE_LIST (I.E.RVADIL01). Change of standard SAP program is not an option for me here.
    In the external subroutine we can fetch these line items for each billing document in the invoice list. However, my question here is how to take these line items back to the sap script and print them in SAP script (We can print one line item but how to loop these fetched lines and print them on SAP script. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
    I think there is no standard smart form exist for the invoice list. Please also let me know if there is any standard smart form available for INVOICE List.
    Thanks in advanace for any help in this regard.
    Best regards,
    Siva

    Hi
    As you cannot change the standard, you will have to see if there are any enhancements provided in the print program. if not you have to copy into a custom one and do changes accordingly.
    Thanks,

    It is not, but it is cost effective.
    <i>2) Please comment how and with best option to integrate and also comment on cost factor ?.</i>
    iWay has an PeopleSoft adapter, but you need to buy the license (not sure how much it costs, some adapters were charged based on the data volume and some were charged straight per adapter depends how you negotiate).
