1 year experience in NetWeaver installations- Whats next ?? help needed..!

Hi Gurus,
   Iam a BE graduate(electronics) and have been working in a small company  basically doing plain installation of Netweaver ,XI, ECC systems installations will little configurations.
I feel there is no much future in this domain.
  I want to switch team or take other roles to help me reach my goal of becoming a <b>Funtional Consultant</b><u></u>..
If I am given  a role of <b>funtional tester </b>will it be okay to take this role.. or a role in <b>support</b> will help me reach the goal.
Please help me in this regard.!!
PS: replies will be appreciated and rewarded...

I agree with what you say about new technologies coming along but they will all need basis input to get them up and running.  Visual Composer isn't all it is cracked up to be (in my opinion) but that's a separate issue...
Whilst I'm sure the E-SOA achitecture will enable functional people to implement some business logic I still believe there will be a large requirement for technical people - functional people will only be able to build fancy xApps based on underlying services which will still need to be built by a developer, on a system installed and configured by a basis person.  They won't be able to magic functionality up out of thin air!
You're right that functional people have more exposure to business processes (development people do as well in my personal opinion - in 10 years I've worked as an ABAP developer, PP/MM functional consultant and more recently Web development (portals, Web dynpro, etc.) and all along I've gained wide business process experience with the benefit that I've worked in most of SAP's modules not just 1 or 2.)   I've kept up with most of SAPs new technologies but never had to unlearn anything - in fact most technologies serve as good foundations for newer solutions.  The trick is to keep learning!
The key thing here for you is possibly your MBA desires - I'd say this leads more to you moving towards functional work as you will no doubt gain more relevant experience that will help your goals.
My experiences have taught me a really good consultant has a good understanding of numerous areas of SAP and technical knowledge is always useful on a project regardless of the functionality being implemented.
Hope this helps
Gareth.

    If I do SAP certification from Siemens after quiting my job then will it be helpful. My current CTC approx Rs. 8 Lacs per annum.
    Whether Siemens can provide good placement with a reasonable hike in salary with this profile.

    Please post in the correct forum.
    Moderator: You may please move this thread to right forum.
    SAP Certification is not a bench mark for good job. It is only a stepping stone to expand yourself. There are many people successful without certification. Many people are unsuccessful with Certification. At the end of the day, everybody looks for money, but the passion drives you. You should learn SAP with passion. That passion brings you money. If you want to learn SAP just for the sake of getting some decent hike, better not to learn. I am not discouraging you, but learn SAP with passion, then other monetary benefits will follows you. If I am in your position, I do not bother what salary I am getting, but join because I am getting job to work on SAP. That's what you should consider. Once you get real experience, then you can dictate the terms with Employers.
    All the best.

  • EMU 1212m installation problems! Help needed!

    Hello everyone. Hopefully someone can help me out, getting my 1212m back to working.
    A month ago, I bought a new computer and I put a EMU 1212m into it. It worked fine, until some other audio devices had bad drivers and made windows crash so many times, I decided to format my hard disk and install XP over again. Well, that worked out fine, computer is running very smoothly but I cant install my 1212m anymore. Windows does find new hardware, which it names "multimedia-audiocontroller, pci slot xx, etc" in the device manager. When I start the EMU setup from the original CD, it says "setup has not detected any supported hardware on your computer" and it closes down right away.
    I already tried this:
    - multiple installation CD's
    - multiple EMU drivers (internet, etc)
    - chancing PCI slots
    - disabling on-board sound via Bios
    - cleaning up registery settings from earlier installation attemps.
    - manually select the drivers on the installation CD. It installes the drivers and then Windows says: this device will not start.
    I can try whatever I want, but the message keeps on showing up everytime I start a setup. I don't know which actions to take next, so I desperately need some advice here.
    any help will be much appreciated!
    thanks,
    Hugo

    I just bought a 1212M and have had similar problems. I assumed the website drivers would be newer than those on the accompanying CD as is the case with most products -- WRONG! I got the same symptoms you describe with the internet drivers, only when I used the CD did it work -- and to my amazement, the CD drivers seems to be newer than the internet downloads (excluding the 2.0 beta drivers of course).
    Another complication I had was that I left my perfectly working X-Fi in the computer while installing the 1212M .... the drivers seem to confuse the two cards, which doesn't help. In fairness, the Emu documentation does warn about this, however I eventually got both to work together. If you have a second soundcard in the same computer, even one built into the motherboard, disable it and see if that helps. The Creative (SoundBlaster) drivers are notoriously hard to uninstall cleanly, so if necessary follow Martin Walker's excellent advice over at Sound On Sound (http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar0...pcmusician.htm).

  • IPhone SDK custom installation, what do I need?

    FYI, I will be developing iPhone Apps only and don't want to install unnecessary things.
    Options are:
    Developer Tools Essentials (Required.)
    iPhone SDK (Obviously need.)
    System Tools (Do I need? It's checked by default.)
    UNIX Development Support (Do I need? It's checked by default.)
    Mac OS X 10.3.9 Support (Know I don't need, not developing anything for OS X, particularly not an old version.)
    WebObjects (Do I need? It's NOT checked by default.)
    Thanks.

    Hi--
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    System Tools (Do I need? It's checked by default.)
    I would suggest "yes." That's the installer for the performance tools. Shark, especially, can be invaluable for profiling your code.
    UNIX Development Support (Do I need? It's checked by default.)
    I'd suggest "yes." It's command line tools you might want at some point (to help in automating builds, etc.). Some aspects of scripting with OS X can also be made easier if you have the UNIX dev support installed.
    WebObjects (Do I need? It's NOT checked by default.)
    Definitely not, that's a web application framework you'd use if you were building a web site.

  • Hello, I bought my macbook pro and I want to update the last version 10.8.2, but it is asking me for the 10.8. What do I need to do?

    Hello mi mac has Mac os x (10.7.5) and I want to update to the latest version 10.8.2. I already downloaded, but it's asking me for the 10.8 before beggining the installation
    What do I need to do?
    Thanks!

    If you downloaded 10.8.2 form the Apple Support web site then that version is only an incremetnal upgrade for people already using M/L .. it won't get you M/L.. you'll need to buy and download the software from the Apple App Store first. It will cost you $19 first to buy it. This is the full version.
    Although it sounds as if you may have already requested the "free OS X Mountain Lion Up-to-Date Program " from Apple.. again, you'll have to go to the Apple App Store to download that version.. you may be asked to enter your redemption number Apple gave you. When they sent you the redemption number, did they also give you a website link to click to download the App.?
    Be sure to back up ALL your music, photos and other personal files before you upgrade to M/L.

    Jeff,
    after trying to find, and use screen shot, i tried to access reader
    downloader... instead, found an offline version of reader. after
    installation started getting false reports that appeared as avg pop-ups.
    Within task manager, was able to detect virus / worm running 6 - 8
    services. immediately disconnected my 'net connection. closed all active
    services being run by rogue process. determined it was using two files
    named "lastalive0.dat" and"lastalive1.dat" to determine it's own status...
    upon stopping it's services it controlled, it would soft re-boot to
    resurrect another hijack attempt. tried workaround using secondary boot
    (win 7) to no avail. after two days, i transferred personal data to
    removable media and am in process of installing debian version of linux.
    i thank you for reply and apologize for my tardy response, it was my first

  • My 4TB G-Drive failed after (Firewire) installation of Maverick.  A 1TB G-drive using USB works.  What next?

    I have an IMac running OS X 10.9.1.
    I purchased a new 4TB G-Drive.  After installation with Time Machine the drive correctly made backups for about 2 weeks.  I installed Maverick.
    Then I began to see the message “Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder”
    I called G-Technology. Using the erase function of Disc Utility we received the message “Disk erase failed.  Disk Erase failed with the error: Couldn’t unmount disk”. It was determined that the disk was bad and I returned it to the vendor.
    A second and then a third disk experienced similar failures after only two backups.  G-Technology then said the problem was a computer problem
    I called Apple support and allowed them access to my computer.  After their intervention the disk worked for two backups and then failed.
    I purchased a 1 TB G-Drive yesterday.
    I thought I would give it a test and so I made it the backup drive for time machine.  It made a primary backup and has been continuing to back up without the feared error message.
    I went to the internet and have discovered that my problem has been experienced by others. It only occurs after an upgrade to Maverick.
    It also only occurs with a Firewire connection.
    The new drive has a USB connector.  It works fine.
    What next?

    Which iMac (please be very specific) and also why have you not updated to 10.9.2?

  • I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

    I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud.  Any thoughts?

    There are two aspects to iCloud.  One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud.  The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
    First to get an iCloud account:
    If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration).  If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
    Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
    To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7).  Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
    The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html  You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
    So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address.  You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

  • I have completed my sap fico training, but i don't have any experience. I am an MBA finance having 6.6 years experience in accounts. Then can I get job in SAP field? & what type of course will do after MBA Finance? i want to do career in SAP Fico.

    Hi,
    I have completed my sap fico training, but i don't have any experience. I am an MBA finance having 6.6 years experience in accounts. Then can I get job in SAP field? & what type of course will do after MBA Finance? i want to do career in SAP Fico.

    Hi Mahesh,
    as you have more than 6 yrs. experience , you can opt for sap field but the main thing is that still if your job hunt will get ended, you will be considered as ab fresher, so are you ready for those bucks you will get after you will become a sap FI/CO consultant.
    Please understand one thing , if you wnats to make your career in sap field, you are most welcome, when it comes to a job for you in SAP FI/CO , you have to consider in your brain only middle or small size industry, because as far as i concern no single major company will provide you exposure to work with them (if you will get, its your good fortune). So, if you have decided to take a step ahead in sap FI/CO i will not give you negative thinking, if you are ready to negotiate in your renumeration in starting your career, then you can take a foot ahead, but look a job in middle size or small companies only, i think through this you will get any exposure more easily.

  • Will a Certificate help a 2 year experience person?

    Hello all,
    I have about 2 years experience in SAP , mostly in FI, GL, OTC, OTP and a little bit in CO.
    I am currently in US and having a job as SAP Functional analyst.
    Is it s good idea for me to do SAP certification?
    Which certification I can take and hjow much it costs?
    Regards

    Taking up Certification will always add advantage to your profile.
    To your questions whether it will help you in career or in future is based on how you taking it.
    I hope presently you're working with SAP FI and you have almost 2 years Domain Experience. So if you're comfortable with SAP FI process flow and interested to move up in same platform. Then it is the right choice.
    And please do not expect sudden change in job or Salary hike, it might be difficult for you to find the perfect fit of SAP FI consultant opening in market. So be prepared mentally for that.
    Just go through this posting, this will help you to understand the certification usage better:

  • What is expected from a two year experience ABAPer

    Hi guys,
    After working in ABAP for one year... what will be the expected experience from a two years experience ABAPer?
    I have three years of experience in .NET and one year experience in ABAP.
    I have finished my training a year ago in ABAP.
    Any suggestion?
    William Wilstroth

    Hello William,
    This is a rather difficult question, due to it's highly subjective nature. What an employer wants is something that cannot really be predicted.
    some of them might want very strong skills in SAP Script and SMARTFORMS, while they really may not care if you have not worked on BDC. Some may want very good knowledge about the BADI and User-Exits concepts, while they don't mind if you are not familiar with LSMW, for instance.
    If you're looking for a job, then please read the job requirements carefully. That is the best source for the kind of information you're seeking.
    Regards,
    Anand Mandalika.

    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
