Career Prospects in SAP xMII

Hi All,
I want few suggestions from you guys. I am basically a Java Professional. I have 2 years experience in Java, and now, I have been working in SAP xMII for only 1 n half months. I find xMII very interesting. Can anybody please tell me about the career prospects in xMII? I am thinking of proceeding in this line. Do you people find this as a sensible decision? If yes, then how should I proceed? Any kind of suggestion or information regarding this is most welcome.
Thanks in Advance,
Lipsa.

I agree with Ryan - I see lots of demand for xMII skills, and the product is pushed considerably by SAP - I see a reference to xMII in every second SAP PowerPoint presentation (ok, maybe that's a slight exaggeration...)
I also think that some knowledge/proficiency in the technologies surrounding xMII will be very useful. Some examples of this in the SAP space could include XI/PI, Enterprise Portal, ERP, CAF, Visual Composer, etc. Some understanding of MES concepts and products would also be useful.
In my opinion, a broad knowledge of the above would help since xMII is an integration product and thus has touch points to a variety of other (non-SAP) systems...
But I guess a lot depends on how xMII is implemented...

  • Career Prospects In SAP SCM

    Hi everybody,
    I am working in freight forwarding industry and having experience of more then 10 Years in various department right from documentation to sales. I have worked with shipping lines, Inland Container depot and freight forwarders. To enhance my skills and giving it a technical edge i want to do a training in SAP SCM. As I don't have any exposure to SAP except doing some documentation work on SAP based Shipping Lines.
    I need your valuable suggestions on how should I go about it. Can I go for classroom learning directly or i need to have some experience with SAP based organizations prior to that.
    What are the career prospects in SAP SCM.
    Regards

    Hi Akanksha,
    i have done my Engineering from L.N.C.T . Indore. I know indore and its market, i don't think you will get any good training at Indore, so you have to move either Bangaluru, Pune/Mumbai or at Delhi NCR.
    As at Bengaluru you will get tough competition with fellow SCM employee, so not suggested.
    SCM market is good but its a domain specific , as i don't know much more about SCM , so just posting some useful links, from where you can gain knowledge. SCM market is consistent as far as i know, so take a foot ahead for a new begining, you will surely get what you wants .
    Here are some links, which help you in boosting your knowledge.

  • Career prospects in SAP SD

    Hi, after a long and tiring career of around 12 years in teaching as associate professor, I'm thinking of taking up more challenging careers in industry. I'm considering doing SAP SD and I'm worried about career prospects. Would anyone advise me if I'm correct in this kind of thinking...i.e., doing SAP at this age and time, would it be like risking or OK for me to move ahead? What things should I keep in mind in selection of course, institute etc for doing SAP. Pl. advise keeping my profile in picture.

    Hi Sandeep,
    I would like to give you some brief of SAP job market in India. It will help you to do further analysis and take a decision.
    For a job as an SAP SD consultant, the requirments are 2 yrs(minimum) of domain (sales) experience and some good (may be 3 yrs of hands on with SAP SD.
    The domain exp part is not important if you are applying as a fresher (the fresher needs to be SAP certified , else no chance in India)
    Am afraid, your teaching exp, even if its in marketing or sales, may not be considered (even financial product sales/ or sales in banking industry is not attractive here).
    Coming to hand on exp in SAP, its very important to have it may be as a trainee, some project work, end user etc..
    So now, you can analyse the situation and decide on what you have to do. Age may not be a constraint in this field, but you have to consider how much time, money and efort u can spend.

  • Career Prospect for SAP IS OIL

    Hi Dear Community Members,
    I need your valuable suggestions and insight before I move on to the Oil & Gas Industry.
    I had a IT Degree and I am in the IT industry for 10 years. I am now planning to venture into the Oil & Gas Industry as this industry has an overall promising career & a job security. Therefore I had the initiative to take on the SAP IS OIL Module hoping to break into the O&G Industries, however I am unsure how SAP IS OIL has an overall impact to the Oil & Gas Sector, like :
    What is the current market share for Oil Companies using SAP Solutions and SAP IS Module?
    What are the career prospects for a SAP OIL Consultant? In terms of job stability and future career path
    What are the markets in the US, UK and Europe for SAP IS OIL? As I am planning to migrate there.
    I am looking forward to your kind advice and input. Thank you very much in advance.
    Cheers,
    Gary

    Hi Gary,
    Overall if you want to be in SAP IS-Oil, one or more of the following skill is required:
    SAP PRA
    SAP JVA
    SAP PSA/PSE
    SAP Controlling
    SAP Finance
    Second: Its always good if you have process experience in Oil & Gas - Upstream, Downstream or Midstream comanies. If you have not then its desirable that you have some process experience as you will feel the need of it when you are learing the above module. Without knowing the modules it is a challenge.
    Third: Demand of IS- Oil is good and not bad however this is focussed in specific locations around the world like : US-Texas- Houston (Energy Hub), Canada, Middle east etc.
    Fourth: Considering the fact that oil prices are down now, it will probably take 6 months to 1 year time for the boom to come. so probably this is not same time to venture immediately but learning this for near futute might prove beneficial.
    Thanks & Regards

  • What is BW and how is the career prospect for BW?

    Hi All I am Navin and I am in the BPO sector and decided to shift to SAP BW and I don't know anything about programming. I am interested in joining in BW and want to know about the career prospects in that. Experts please advice me!!!!!!

    Hi  Navin,
    Unfortunately, as I found out, everything in SAP requires coding to solve problems which are unique to each customer requirement.
    The applications are configurable by clicking. But these are always limited by the functionality of configurability. Coding is always necessary for any bw consultant. In fact, many customer requirements can only be met by coding. So if you are thinking of clicking here and there to work as bw consultant, then I am afraid I have bad news for you.
    Its all about coding. 
    You can still be a bw consultant not doing any coding and leave it to a developer to do that but then, you will soon become obsolete as the developer will learn what you know as you tell them your requirement. Learning to click here and there is simple.
    To make yourself a valuable consultant , you must do the coding like BAPIs and Start Routines and Update Rules and Function modules and ..... in fact, BW developer is about an Abapper + BW configuration + functional consultant + BPX.
    Come to think of it, BW consultants should be valued more.
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Com.sap.xmii.Illuminator.logging.LHException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundErro

    Hello,
    Intermittently users get the following error when logging into the application which is built upon xmii:
    com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerResource
    At this point in the application it is trying to read information which is stored in a SQLServer database.
    We see the following errors in trace files:
    application [XMII] Processing HTTP request to servlet [Illuminator] finished with error.
    The error is: com.sap.xmii.Illuminator.logging.LHException: com.sap.xmii.Illuminator.logging.LHException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerResource
    Exception id: [00145E4D6... [see details]
    This is running on a NW JavaAs 7.0 SP18, MII 12.0 SP8.
    We've replaced the JDBC driver with one which SAP support told us would work, but that did not fix the problem either.
    We can get the problem to go away for a period of time by simply disabling and then re-enabling the Data Server connection.  It is using the IDBC Connector with a SQL connector type.  STATUS shows No. Connections Used 0, No. Connections Available 1, Max No. Connections Used 2.  Max. Wait Time 0.0.
    Ideas?

    Hi John,
    Before connecting SQL server with SAP MII, try connecting SQL server independently.
    It helps to narrow down the problem.
    If the independent connection works fine, try connecting with SAP MII with proper JDBC drivers
    Go through the SAP Note 1109274 & forum MII 12.1 - connection to MS SQL2005 database
    for more information on JDBC drivers.
    Thanks
    Rajesh Sivaprakasam.

  • Calling Webservice from Netweaver Portal to SAP XMII 12.0 using SSO

    Hello,
    we have a Netweaver 2004s based Portal and a Netweaver-based SAP XMII (v12.0) System providing Webservices.
    What we try to do is to call a webservice out of the Portal EAR Application using SSO.
    SSO-Konfiguration between Portal and XMII is done and works fine. I tested this using an URL-iView, which calls a https-URL on XMII and SSO-Authentification is done in the background.
    Now I want to call a Webservice using SSO.
    Without SSO (prodiving UID/PW), the webservice-call works fine.
    In order to use SSO with Webservice, I created a "Deployable Webservice Proxy" with "HTTP-Authentication" and "use SAP Logon Ticket" turned on.
    Then I remove Login/Password from my SOAP-Request and unfortunately it doesn't work.
    What do I have to consider in addition to the topics above?
    Can you provide any useful links with tutorials, hints, documentation, ...?
    Thanks in advance
    Andreas

    > Can you please list all the options that we have in order to implement SSO for EP and SAP GUI?
    >
    > I could not find any info in regards to the advantages and disadvantages of each SSO solution. Do you have any links that gives this information?
    If you search the forum here for the terms you have used, then you will find many of them and interesting discussions about advantages and disadvantages from different views. I think that in 1 or 2 hours you will be a guru
    > I am thinking more of using Kerberos authentication for SAP GUI and using OpenSSO (Sun's product)solution for EP 7.0.
    >
    > Do you know what SSO technologies are other companies implementing these days?
    I only know which solutions I have been involved in doing the security evaluations for and implementation support.
    I don't want to do any direct or indirect comparative advertizing here, but only wanted to point out to you that there is plenty of information if you use the search. What you need to understand is that other that SAP proprietary mechanisms and newer standards based initiatives (search for 'SAML'), this is often a 3rd party vendor question (and resulting discussion...).
    If you find a solution and want to specifically discuss it here, then this can most of the time be done in a civilized way...

  • Problem in retrieving multiple records SAP xMII from SAP using BAPIS

    Hi friends,
             In SAP xMII i called BAPI_USER_GETLIST by passing import parameters 10 and y.In r/3 BAPI returned 10 rows but In xMII it was returned only one Record.
    i want to display 10 records in sap xmii
    1) I created to connection ECC5 in Dataservices-->SAPSERVERConfiguration
    2)In BLS we placed JCO Interface inside Sequence
    3)In BLS I used ECC5 connectrion(using JCO Interface) and called  BAPI_USER_GELLIST
    4)In Links-->Transaction created two input values for "maxnoofrows","withusername" and output value is "userid".
    Input what i mapped 
    Transaction>"maxnoofrows" =====SAPJCOINTERFACE->Request>BAPI_USER_GETLIST>INPUT-->MAX_ROWS
    Transaction>"withusername" =====SAPJCOINTERFACE->Request>BAPI_USER_GETLIST>INPUT-->WITH_USERNAME
    Output what i mapped 
    SAPJCOINTERFACE->Response>BAPI_USER_GETLIST>TABELS>USERLITS >ITEM>USERNAME=====Transaction-->userid
    5)Saved the Transaction.
    6)In Query Template -->xactuateQuery selected
    7)In Datasource Query mode was selected ,Inputrarams i passed 10 and y as parameters.
    It was returned one user id from R/3 inSAP xMII
    please help me to retrive all  10 rows from r/3
    Regards
    Srikanth

    hi,
    What is the data type of Transaction output (userid)?
    Make this as XML type.
    The format which BAPI returns the result does not match with xMII XML format.
    Create a xMII XML document and configure with column name as userid. and by using repeater and XML row add all tho values to the document. Then assign whole doument to transaction output.
    Hope this will help to resolve the issue.

  • Upgrade JAXP 1.2 to JAXP 1.3 in SAP xMII

    Hi All,
    I need a favour regarding JAXP (Java API for XML Processing).
    I am currently using SAP xMII 11.5 it uses both DOM as well as SAX parser to parse the xml. Also it uses JAXP to talk with DOM and SAX.
    Now the issue is it uses JAXP 1.2 which is not handling big xml. It makes a performance issue when the size of the xml is large.
    So I need to upgrade the JAXP in xMII system.
    Also I am using J2SE 1.4.2.
    So I can’t use JAXP 1.4 or more as it is not compatible with J2SE 1.4.2. JAXP1.4 uses J2SE 5.0 or more.
    I cant upgrade Java version rather I can upgrade from JAXP 1.2 to JAXP 1.3 or some other but lower than JAXP 1.3 & it should be compatible with J2SE 1.4.2 & windows.
    Now the need is to how to implement JAXP 1.3 in an existing system which is already using JAXP 1.2
    Thanks,
    Murugappan.

    Mark:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You can try using Pacifist to extract Safari from your install disk and install it. You may then be able to upgrade it more easily, although I can't promise that for sure.
    Unless you are absolutely wedded to Safari, I find Camino to be at least as good (I think better) as Safari, and looks almost identical, so that there should not be much of a learning curve. I also use Firefox and especially like it for the measure of security it provides.
    Please do not hesitate to post back with further questions or comments.
    Good luck.

  • IChart Query in SAP xMII

    Hi
    We have an ichart object and the chart type is CUSTOM.
    pen 1 is a bar type and pen 2 is a Line type.
    Questions are:
    1. How can we set the pen 1 be set as a horizontal bar? and still maintain pen 2 as a line?
    2. On the bar shown, how do we display values. I.E. values are displayed on the BARS and not on the X-Axis or Y Axis.
    3. How to make the X-Axis lable Vertical instead of horizontal text?
    We are using SAP xMII version 11.5
    Regards
    Chethan Sreedharan

    Chetan,
    Unfortunately you can not display a horizontal bar in a custom chart. All it allows you is a bar or a stacked bar in addition to Line.
    Rotating labels is part of the 12.1 release and I am not sure on the "display data on the bar" part , may be that is availbale with 12.1 as well.
    There may be other Chart solutions available that might help you. One example being http://www.fusioncharts.com/ Have never used these myself so not sure on the technicalities of this solution.

  • Career ladder in SAP

    Hi
    Can anyone advise on what is the career ladder in SAP. It starts with working as a consultant. what are the next steps ? Where does it end ? what is the highest end ?
    Thanx
    Pankaj

    Hi ,
    Have a look at the blogs collected at SAP Career Blog Links. Specifically, FAQ: Different Career Paths in SAP and the aforementioned How did you get your start in SAP?.
    You've mentioned the first step as "consultant". It might be a cultural difference or just a terminology difference, but for most folks, the first step is junior member of the support team. Consultants, in the US, are outside folks hired by businesses for their expertise to accomplish a short term goal (project). Contractors are hired long term to do day-to-day tasks that would normally be accomplished by employees. In either case, businesses tend to want to hire folks with experience as contractors or consultants.
    The typical route for someone who did not get recruited into an SAP consulting practice prior to graduating from college is to get an entry level position in the Information Technology department or in a functional department and then gradually move from that entry level position into a support role position and THEN to leave and become a consultant or contractor.
    This is covered in Advice for Recent College Graduates (aka "Freshers") and Advice for Students Interested in a Career in SAP.
    Hope this helps!
    Best regards,
    --Tom

  • Problem in integrating Dreamweaver MX with  SAP xMII

    hi all,
    i am using Dreamweaver MX and xMII 11.5
    i have followed the steps for  <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_xmii115/helpdata/en/Getting_Started/InstallationGuide.htm#Installing_the_Dreamweaver_Add_in">Installing the Dreamweaver Add-in</a>
    <b>i am unable to find the path "http://<servername>/Lighthammer/WizardInstall/IlluminatorWizard.exe" in the server</b>
    where can i find this file
    Regards,
    Art Team

    Hello Art Tech
    You may need to register the DWWizardGUI.dll.  Here is a snippet from the help documentation:
    If selecting SAP xMII Object does not display the plug-in, open a command prompt and type "cd\Lighthammer\Illuminator\Wizards" to navigate to the folder where the DLLs are located. Then type "regsvr32 IllumDWWizardGUI.dll" which should register the dll. Dreamweaver should then prompt you for the SAP xMII server name or internet protocol (IP) address (it defaults to localhost) when calling up the plug-in; this is similar to the standalone version of the plug-in.
    I may be wrong, but as I recall, you don't have to be in any particular mode to use the plugin in Dreamweaver as you do in Frontpage.
    Kind Regards,
    Diana Hoppe

  • Error while using SAP-XMII 12.1.5 in WINDOWS 7

    Hi All,
    Iam using SAP-XMII 12.1.5 in Windows7 OS.
    Some times I face NULLPOINTER Error in javascript.It was automatically cleared when i restart the system.
    Due to this my MII screens are not working properly.Can any one tell how to clear this Error.

    This error arises in Javascript if any of your variable is not assigned and if we try to access/compare that variable with something.
    If you can share the portion of javascript or the line number which you can see in Window 7 on double clicking at the botton left hand side error icon when u run the application.Than I can tell you the exact solution for it.
    Note : You just need to initial the javascript variable before using it.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Java.lang.StackOverflowError in SAP xMII 11.5

    Hi All,
    I am using SAP xMII 11.5 and Java 1.4. I am trying to display a large iGrid using irpt file. But it is not displaying the grid. I checked log in servletExec folder,it have java.lang.StackOverflowError. How can i solve this issued? Can it be resolved by setting -Xms parameter in Java Run-time environment in server(I am using Windows 2003 Server)? Or should I need to set it in any conf file or pref file inside servletExec folder? Please advice. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Subin

    Hi Thomas,
    MII display applets are nothing else than standard applets. They are executed in the client VM mostly provided by the JavaPlugin in the browser. To give the applets more RAM use the -Xmx parameter and set it in the command line for the JavaPlugin VM. In Windows this can be found in systemcontrol->Java. 64M ist standard. Give it 250M for testing.
    Oh, sorry. Just saw that you found the exception in the server log. Same holds for the server. So try to increase RAM for server VM with -Xmx. Server VM can easily be set to 1GB (but not more than about 1.5G in a 32 bit system).
    Do you have the stack trace for this StackOverflow? Normally this points to endless recursion.
    Good luck,
    Matthias
