Confusion for switching my career from IT Infrastructure Management to SAP Basis or not?

Hi Guru's,
I am in IT Infrastructure Management and I have more than 10 years of working experience in multiple companies. I have completed MCA, BCA, CCNA and ITIL and in my last job I was Sr. Manager IT.
I started my career as a Customer Support Engineer in 2004 and then promoted as a Network Engineer and then Team Leader and then Project Manager and then Asst. Manager IT and finally Sr. Manager IT. I switched 6 companies (ISP,IT,Pharmaceutical, Education etc.). Unfortunately my field demands lot of hard-work and payed very little(I got only 5 lac pa) on the other hand I saw several people who moved in SAP they get higher salaries and growing rapidly.
I have good knowledge of system administration and network administration. In 2008 to 2011, I worked for a Pharma company(Production Plant) where I saw SAP implementation and was little involved in it. I was involved in client Installation, SAP Solution Manager roll-out etc. I saw SAP basis syllabus and I feel it is easy for me to learn the BASIS fast rather then other SAP modules.
Now my questions are:-
Is it worthwhile for me to switch my career in SAP Basis?
Will the recruiters consider me as a fresher or they consider my experience?
What is the future growth in SAP Basis with our without certification?
Which is the best institute to get the training and job placement?
Your suggestions are appreciable.
Yours faithfully,
Anand

    request to post Icloud not working locations. for 2 days almost from Ventura CA. I think they are not being truthful about the percentage of folks affected!
    and what's with the minimalist response? We're working on it for 2 days? You can do beter than that for exsisting loyal customers can't you?

    I just spoke to a Support person with Apple.  I got the same answer, "We Don't Know", "but they are working on it...Blah, Blah.  I too live in Ventura, and have been without email since yesterday approx. 3:00 pm.
    The guy said, it's the same if you brought your computer into the shop.  We have to determine if it's hardware, or software, then fix the problem.
    Well, What about a BACK UP SERVER?  No real answer to that one.  Just, "Thanks, for your Patience."
    This really blows!!!

  • Removing AD DC from Exchange infrastructure -- Outlook complaining The bookmark is not valid

    Hallo,
    I have a setup of 2 Exchange 2007 servers 2xCAS + MBOX plus an Exchange 2010 (not in use yet), 4 AD DCs and some more servers like BlackBerry.
    I am trying to switch off one of the DCs -- an old windows 2003 server.
    I have migrated the FMSO roles, updated the DNS setting on all servers and now I would like to switch off the 2003 AD DC.
    BUT: when I do this, everything works fine:
       * Mail goes in and out,
       * OWA works,
       * BlackBerry is fine,
       * Outlook 2003/2007/2010 with previously set-up accounts works just fine,
       * adding new accounts also seems to work.
    Except for I cannot configure a new account in Outlook (any version).
    When I create a new profile and configure an account I get: The bookmark is not valid
    afrer filling in the login and password.
    I am using the HTTP proxy for RPC (Outlook Anywhere is it called I guess). I verified the rpcredirect.dll manually using a web browser -- it seems OK -- empty page as the docs say. I checked the logs of the IIS -- no problem.
    I don't know where to search on the Exchange side :-(
    I googled and found some references to GC but I have a GC on every AD DC, so it should be fine. Also I found some references to OAB but I cannot see any problems with OAB -- well I don't know much about OAB :-(
    To quick-fix the problem I finally had to start the old AD DC again, but the problem persisted. Later after checking everything that came to my mind I rebooted the Exchage where the Outlook clients connect to and now I am up and running again (this proves
    that I have the Outlook client settings filled in right).
    I really need to remove the old windows server 2003 AD DC, so keeping it up is not a solution for me :-(
    Any tips and hints highly welcome.

    Sure. I hope I am sending it in the format you assumed.
    This is now:

    this is when the AD2 was up but w/o the GC role:

    I don't know how to check which DC is being used (or what type use do you mean), but when I run the netstat on the Exchange server I see connections to ldap and msft-gc on several AD DCs like this:
      TCP    mbx:1164               AD5:ldap               ESTABLISHED
      TCP    mbx:1169               AD2:ldap               CLOSE_WAIT
      TCP    mbx:1203               AD5:ldap               ESTABLISHED
      TCP    mbx:1209               AD5:ldap               ESTABLISHED
      TCP    mbx:1213               AD2:msft-gc            CLOSE_WAIT
      TCP    mbx:1219               AD5:ldap               ESTABLISHED
      TCP    mbx:1247               AD3:msft-gc            ESTABLISHED
      TCP    mbx:1249               AD2:msft-gc            ESTABLISHED
      TCP    mbx:1251               AD5:msft-gc            ESTABLISHED
      TCP    mbx:1253               AD4:msft-gc            ESTABLISHED
      TCP    mbx:1264               AD5:ldap               ESTABLISHED
      TCP    mbx:1278               AD5:ldap               ESTABLISHED
      TCP    mbx:1279               AD5:ldap               ESTABLISHED
    So from that point of view all DCs seem to be used.
    Thanks for you time and regards!

  • Unwanted events are also logged in the view created for a specific target from the rules created using its base target

    I have created Event or Alert view using a target "My.Target" which is derived from a base target "Windows Server".
    All the events or alerts are captured correctly from the servers discovered by "My.Target" but the same view also shows the events and alerts from other servers which has a rule created with a base target "Windows Server".
    Is there any option to filter the base target at view level other than using a custom field as it doesn't work for the alerts generated using "Monitors".
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    There is a class "My.Servers" derived from "Microsoft.Windows.Server.Computer" as below -

    Created 2 views "My.Alert.View" and "My.Event.View" with Target "My.Servers" as below -
     <Presentation>
        <Views>
          <View ID="My.Alert.View" Accessibility="Public" Enabled="true" Target="My.Servers" TypeID="SystemCenter!Microsoft.SystemCenter.AlertViewType" Visible="true">

          <View ID="My.Event.View" Accessibility="Public" Enabled="true" Target="My.Servers" TypeID="SystemCenter!Microsoft.SystemCenter.EventViewType" Visible="true">
            <Category>Operations</Category>
          </View>
    </Views>
    </Presentation>
    The above views display events and alerts generated by rules targeted on the serves discovered with "MyServersDiscovery" correctly.
    The major issue here is - if there is a rule in same or any other management pack for which the target is "Windows Server", the alert or event generated by that rule is also shown in these views which is not expected.
    It seems it is because the target for "My.Alert.View" and "My.Event.View" is "My.Servers" which is dervied from "Microsoft.Windows.Server.Computer" so by default all the rules targeted on its base class "Microsoft.Windows.Server.Computer" are also visible
    here.
    Is there any way to avoid this?

  • How can we find out what website/application is requesting for a login/password from the password manager?

    When I start Firefox, the password manager window asking for master password pops up in a few seconds even when I have not gone to any specific website that requires me to login. I have the Zotero addon installed which requires login to synchronize itself. However, when I am not visiting a website and the password manager's master password window pops up, I am not sure of what application/website is requiring a password. Is there a way for me (as a user) to know what application is trying to obtaining a login/password from Firefox's password manager?

    Connect to your computer, select the iPod under devices. Under summary you will see an option to restore.

  • Looking to switch career from Java to SAP Business One

    Hi All,
    I have around 4 yrs of experience in JAVA/J2EE application development.I am planning to switch my career into SAP(in Technofuctional module).Actually, I want to switch my career from coding to functional domain(in SAP) but i don't know how to get into it.I want to work as close as to the business and get use of my technical background because that's all I got so far. Please guide me which SAP module i would choose to build my career and what steps i should  take .
    Thank You

    Hi SunnyB
    SAP Business one is an intergrated solution with all domains in one application.  Things like purchasing, materials, finance, crystal reports etc comes into one single application called SAP Business One.  Historically SAP Business One developmed by a software firm based in Israel and SAP AG acquired the company and renamed it like SAP Business One.  My suggestion would be it is a good application suitable for small and medium type businesses where business processes are not complicated.  However, if you want to make career in one specific domain listed below, you need to look into SAP's ERP modules:
    1.Materials Management
    2.Financials(Financial Accounting)
    3.Controlling(Cost & Management Accounting)
    4. BI(Business Intelligence is a reporting tool and data mining tool)
    5. HR
    6. Basis(Technical module where installation and authorisation including system security etc are taken care of)
    7. Travel Management(Application for employee/non-employee expense claims)
    8. ABAP(Advanced Business Appln.Programming owned by SAP AG)
    9. Project Systems
    10. Others that I donno at this stage but exists.
    My suggestion would be to go for anything as per your interest and not purely financial.  Of course you'll be rewarded good with any of the above modules but learn based on your interest.
    Good luck!

  • Need guidance on switching career from dot-net to MSBI

    I want to switch my career from dotnet to MSBI.
    I am having more than one year of experience in dotnet technologies.I have good analytic skills and good programming skills.I am very interested in SQL Server.I want to learn MSBI,but i don't have any idea how to start?, which one need to start first among
    SSIS, SSRS, SSAS. Which is best in these three in MSBI?
    Is my decision is good in career selection?
    will i get the better opportunities MSBI with dotnet?
    Please suggest me on this...
    Thanking you......

    Hi Shaik,
    As per my understanding, I think you can start with SSIS. It features a fast and flexible data warehousing tool used for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). Then we can use SSAS to analyze and make sense of information possibly spread out
    across multiple databases, or in disparate tables. After that, then use SSRS that retrieve the data to display data in a report.
    Besides, we always use Script task that write with C# or VB code to implement some functions in SSIS. So it can be better benefit from your programming skills.
    Based on my experience, to begin with SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), we should know what we can do with SSIS, the architecture of Integration Services, Integration Services Features and Tasks and how to design a package, deploy package and execute
    package. Then create some packages followed by some tutorials, post some threads in this forum to ask the problems you experienced or share some useful knowledge you acquired.
    The following links are for your references:
    SQL Server Integration Services
    Architecture of Integration Services

    Main process is
      PS -> MM PR -> SRM Sourcing -> SRM PO (Extended) -> SUS PO -> SUS PO Response
      GR, Service Entry and Invoice are handled in ERP
    I see an issue if we switch SRM-SUS to MM-SUS, SUS PO is created before switch and PO Response is created after switch.
    Do you have any lessens and learned topics for switching Extended Classic to Classic? Which documents have to be take care?

    Not sure why it would default to IMAP?  But any how, start the account anew, fill in the first page of info, but before clicking on the Create button, hold down the Option key until the Create button changes to read Continue.  Click continue, and proceed in a more manual process during which you can set the account type as POP.
