Want to move to SAP BW. Help required
Presently I am working in India in the Data Warehousing area as Business Analyst. I have considerable functional experience and very good exposure to Supply Chain. Apart from that I have some exposure to BAAN ERP package. I would like to move to SAP BW. I have access to SAP BW and want to move to SAP BW. Can any want suggest what kind of role I can fit into?
bb,
Could you tell me if you have access to a BW system for development or as an end user.
Also I suggest you have a look at BW Projects happening in your company. That would give you an idea.
Also one more thing to do would be to go thru Fu and Fu first ( BW Setp by Step ). SDN please forgive me for recommending this book, it is on an older version but it is the only one in this category. ( Someone has to write a better book ...)
Then get yourself familiar with how DW and BW work , one area where you could fit in would be in Data Modelling and depending on your expertise with Data Modeling you could sell your skills as a BW Data Modeler.
But , the caveat is that getting in head forst as a data modeler is tough , most probably you might have to:
1. Get into a support project and work your way upwards or..
2. Get certified and then go into hardcore BW.
Arun
P.S I am also a Business Analyst of the DW Practice at my company and now full time into BW.

Hi,
I think in most of BW Projects only 1 or 2 developers will be alloted to it. So most of the time you have to handle all things.
When comparing BW project with other DW projects, It is very pretty and easy job. If you have functional knowledge in the learning phase of BW ,It is very good.
So try to learn all things like Extraction,Modelling,Reporting,some sort of Sytem maintanance. And I think Work in Each part is dependent on other parts. i.e Modeling and Reporting are mutually dependent to each other.

Want to move to SAP after 6+ years of experience in a completely different field?
Hi and Good Day to all lovely people on SCN.
I have been following this site for quite a few months now, reason: I am hooked to the wonderful world of SAP.
I still haven't personally experienced it, and currently in dire need of suggestions from your expertise.
After completing my MBA in Finance & Marketing, I started working for a Multi-National Bank in its Back Office Operations.
Been 6+ years and now am planning to also explore and enhance my knowledge in IT field which would be relevant to my
current experience and help amplify the chances of improving my career.
Am confused, and unable to determine which modules should I start with to get the basics of SAP.
Hence request you all show me how to take my first steps and gradually move faster by strengthening my roots.
Request you all to show me a road map, which would help me overcome any hurdles on the way to my destination of
being certified in at least one module.
I support Foreign Exchange operations and have fair (but not in depth) technical knowledge of how two systems are linked together to get the
job done automatically. Since, basically am from Finance, I have good knowledge on different financial products. Hope this would help you to
determine which module in SAP would be well suited for me.
I request every one of you to, please help me out and guide me so that I can make most of it.
Anxiously looking forward to receive responses.
Thank you & Regards

Honest question here: Why SAP? You appear to have zero exposure or experience, including not knowing what "SAP AG" is yet you are keen to completely change your career? How did you hear about SAP? Sorry, I do not mean to be unkind.
So far you have described your background and asked what module. You've received some recommendation on what module based on a very high level summary you have provided - back-end operations can mean a multitude of work activities.
I have also tried to provide you with an alternative approach to entering SAP. In my recommendation it is not about being hired because you do have or not have SAP skill set. It is about getting a job because you have industry experience and you just happen to now work for a company that uses SAP. Once you start working for the company you then start using SAP as an end user. You get more exposure to the system from that point of view. You may even discover that SAP does your head in (it happens to all of us at some point) and you are no longer interested.
I am not a functional person nor industry qualified so I can't say which module is right for you. But the reality is no-one in SCN is qualified to tell you what pursue. Particularly, when you seem to want to change industry as well - sounds like you are planning to go back to square one whether you intend to or not. If you were to change industry, how would you achieve that? Your approach in changing industry would probably include the same steps as changing product knowledge to SAP: research, hard work, networking, job application, etc and a bit of luck and opportunity presenting itself at the right time for you to capitalise on.
How intensely you should work will also come down your natural abilities and motivation/desire to succeed in my career path.
For education, search SCN for Learning Hub. You can obtain free access to some course material which would include introduction for you to have a look and see what it's all about and what takes your interest.
But please keep in mind (and search other posts here).. a lot of freshers seek training and certification with expectation it will lead to a well-paid job. They then come here and ask why no one hires freshers or why did they spend all this money on certification when experience is sought. You have experience, just a different flavour.

Dynamics NAV/AX Technical Advisory wants to move into SAP
Hi All,
I have hit 10 years of industry experience in Dynamics NAV support, deployment and implementation and some of Dynamics AX. I am currently a Senior Technical Advisory - designing , deploying and supporting our partner channel across EMEA.
How does someone technical and in deployment business starts getting into SAP technical side?
I would really appreciate some links that can guide me step by step. I cannot afford to pay for £1000 per course but do not mind spending more than that when I have cleared basics on my own. Obviously my current company would not pay me for competitor training
I am based in Reading, UK.
Thank you very much well in advance.
Best Regards,
ZeeshanHi,
It is not so easy to learn any ERP when you have not experience. But, if you are technical guy, I suppose to start with some development training.
Now, some advices:
AX is to hard for learning if you have not any ERP knowledge.
If you are from Europe, try with NAV. If you are from US, try with GP (or NAV).
CRM is not ERP. But, if you want it, you can also try with Dynamics CRM.
I am sure that some course will not help you so much to get a ERP job. Except courses, you have to learn and train it more and more. Some company will employee you only if you have some knowledge, not course (or exam).
You have to know some functional modules, because you can not be only technical guy in ERP software, because ERP is not IT; ERP is software for business processes.
If you need advice where to go on some good course, you must tell me where you living. -

Hi all,
I am working for 3 years in SAP ABAP. Now i want to move to SAP BI. I would like to know that wether my 3 years of ABAP experience will be wasted if i move to SAP BI. What about my previous ABAP experience.
And how can i move to SAP BI.
Thansk
Mythily GupthaBefore taking training I would suggest you, go through the SAP library of BI and get an understanding of BI. When you have an rough idea, then go for training and it will be really useful. You will be able to ask lot of questions as you know already little bit otherwise you won't get time to go through the materials during training as it's so fast. Check the links:
BI 7.0: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm

Performance Optimization Self Service- SAP help requirement
Hi,
I want to know whether for SAP's help is required for performing the self service of Performance Optimization.
If we collect ST12 trace and use it to perform the self service then is the report which is generated from the self service sufficient to take further action or will I need some SAP expertise to implement / take corrective actions?
In short, whether I can do the Performance Optimization by myself or I need help from SAP?
Regards,
Vishalhi,
1) Is this service available to all the customer? (by all the customers I mean "Max Attention", "Enterprise Support" etc)
i answer this above is it, from mz above reply, have you checked
enterprise support customers can get five EGI sessions as free per year. please check
http://service.sap.com/esacademy
- click browse egis
for your second question also I answered above
Does the report itself gives suggestions or we need to provide the report to SAP
here my reply above
because Guided procedure itself the proven methodlogy from SAP, the report provides the lots of suggestions against the SAP best practices.
you can use it yourself most of the time. if still you need expert guidance from SAP, book for EGI sessions. they called as expert guided implementations, remote support. duration might vary based on the session.
again, service report is the source, you have to review yourself, if you are in EGI, sap use that report for guiding. Please review
Thanks

I have 3 +years of experience in SAP ABAP and BRFplus , want to move to australia from India.
Hello Experts,
I have around 3.5 years of experience in SAP -ABAP and SAP-BRFplus . I am based out of india and want to move to Australia.I am trained in ABAP OOPs And Webdynpro. Have worked for around 3 years in Infosys Limited and currently working as Senior Business consultant in SAP ABAP in Ntt Data North America.
I am activly looking for moving to Australia.
So kindly let me know how to go for that.
Regards,
KhushbuHi Khushbu
If you want to work in Australia you will need to research the different VISA laws etc. Trying to come "onsite" is a challenge. SAP job demand goes through cycles and sometimes it is difficult to find a position. You might want to look at the large consultancies and see if there is an opportunity for onsite work as part of the project (more than likely make sponsorship easier).
The difficult challenge - most times development work is sent offshore (not all places of course). The work kept in Australia is either they cannot outsource it (federal government and so you need to be an Australian citizen) or it will be more senior staff (10+ years experience). It doesn't mean the work isn't available but you might be competing with other established professionals.

I purchased a 3TB Airport Time Capsule to use with my Mac running latest Maverics. After 8 hours been able to configure the box using Ethernet connection but now I want to move my current backups from my small driveand it wants authentication but no box is available to provide my administrator name can anyone help ?
I overcame the permissions by allowing both paths to have read and write access to anyone but that didnt solve it until I copied it into the DATA directory which I created on the Airport Time Capsule.
I had already discovered the TIME MACHINE How to transfer backups but I am struggling still with the item and cannot currently get it to work. My setup seems to have created a wireless link to my router which is what I wanted and in that set up there are three options. I have simply gone for the extension of my network. I ignored the other option there which I cannot remember something like DNS? That may be the problem becasuse when I remove the Ethernet connector it just doesnt go anywhere.
I have also found I cannot update my TIME MACHINE software (currently 1.3) as although Apple tell me I should be able to set backups hourly daily or weekly I have only ever been able to run it hourly when i would prefer longer intervals so thought an update might be necssary.
Also tried to get an update for my Airport Utility (Currently 6.3.2 but cannot find one even though I have read there might be one available and again this might be the problem.
Have reset the Time Capsule now about a dozen times.
Following the instructions and trying to copy my existing backup it suggests you need to copy it to the root directory but that is when I get some sort of security issue and I found I could only get it to accept if I dragged my .backupdb to the DATA directory on the Time Capsule. I dont even know if I do this it will work when I come to use it.
I therefore found your reply of no more help than i had discovered but I hope you return to read this note because I really do need some help.
I am intending starting again in the next couple of days and fully documenting what I do and what I see and then as I suspect it will be no different and I will then seek an appointment at the Apple Store in Trafford Centre and if that proves unsuccessful then I still have time to return and become a dissatisfied customer with Apple for the first time in a long experience with Apple. I have noticed frightening notes on the conversations which point to problems of Mavericks working with Airport Time Machine!! So in the end it might not be me doing anything wrong. Unfortunately you do feel left out in the dark sometimes that is why I hope you can respond with a solution? -
I use iPhone 4S 8GB device. Want to move the back up from mobile device to computer. Can anyone help me on this?
It's not clear what you're asking. What mobile device are you talking about. iPhone back ups are ordinarily in one of two places: iCloud or a computer. The are not stored on the phone. If you're currently backing up your phone to iCloud and you want to back it up to your computer, you can do that using iTunes. You don't move a back up from iCloud to your computer.

Hi everyone can anybody help please, I downloaded xcode 4 from my brother user account, and I want to move that file ( which is xcode 4) to my own user account, I was trying to find how to do it, but unfortunatally couln't do it, so please need world help,
You cannot. You have to make your own download by signing into the App Store using your Apple ID then downloading the file.
If you just want to install it on your computer, then copy the file to a flash drive and transfer it to your computer. -
