ABAP development for certification

Hi all,
When doing ABAP development in SAP certification which is coming under the Third Party Application Development, there it is given  like the development should be done by means of SAP ABAP Add-on development kit under a special ABAP Workbench Development license.Can anybody help me with it.Where to get the licence? how to apply it and the norms followed in custom development of rfcs.
Regards
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
You need to have an ABAP workbench development license to develop your custom BAPIs/RCFCs in your own namespace and ABAP Add-On Assembly Kit (AAK) to package and deliver your add-on component.
To get the above license and sign up for an ABAP Add-on certification, please contact your regional Integration & Certification Center (ICC):

  • ABAP Development Consultant Certification

    Hi,
    I am interested in obtaining the TAW12 / TAW12_04 SAP development consultant certification.  So I called the education hotline to find out the details.  Unfortunately, my company [which is one of the four large accounting firms] cannot afford to pay the $13,000 for me to take the two review courses [which last a total of 25 days] for the exam.  Is SAP really successful in today's competitive marketplace in charging such a ludicrous amount for such a short course?  I'm a bit surprised at the price tag.
    Is there an alternative method for studying for this certification that is much, much cheaper? 
    thanks-
    Kevin

    I know, it is expensive.  But people pay it, that's why they charge it.  There is some stuff on the internet, like sample questions, and such.  Do a google search.  Other than that, maybe read some new books, and re-read the old ones.

  • ABAP Development Video legal question

    Dear Community,
    We would like to create something like a video tutorial for ABAP development for the beginner level based on the flight data model. We might simply put it on our websites unrestriced area, membership area or we might sell this as a product.
    The system we are using for this beginner level development activity is the Netweaver Trial version, this is more then enough for this purpose.
    Here comes the question; In the license agreement of the Netweaver ABAP Trial version there is this sentence:
    "The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is "NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE". You may not demonstrate, test, examine, evaluate or otherwise use the Software Product in a live operating environment or with data that has not been sufficiently backed up. "
    I do not fully understand this sentence. Would our activity considered as "production usage" and we might get legal troubles, or a commercial video tutorial is ok?
    If we have a problem here, what could be the workaround? Subscription for a system hosted by SAP or maybe subsciption for a cheaper hosting like eg. www.michaelmanagement.com ?
    I would really appreciate your oppinion.
    Thanks,
    Jozep

    Yes, but only if you spend the future value 2 euro cents in dollars, and I don't think that Ryan Air is going to be stooping that low..

    What about screenshots of all the source code? Or a video of it at runtime?

  • From an ABAP developer to a functional consultant

    Hi,
    I need some advices to help me improve my work as a junior functional consultant. I have been an ABAP developer for 2 - 3 years and then I moved to the role of functional consultant.
    I have read that there is a higher probability to become successful as a functional consultant if you have a business background rather than a technical background...I have been moved to a junior functional consultant role for more than a year - I've been reading books on configuration and functional process flows and unfortunately the assignments on the project I'm working on are mostly specific developments rather than configuration of standard flows which gives me litlle exposure...
    What can I do to improve my functional skills and is it true that it is more difficult to become a functional consultant if we have a technical backgorund?
    Thanking in advance anyone who would reply.

    What can I do to improve my functional skills
    Gain experience and be open-minded. It's pretty much the only way to improve your problem solving and thus your "functional" skills.
    Is it true that it is more difficult to become a functional consultant if we have a technical backgorund?
    I don't think it can be expressed that vastly. I would personally always choose someone with a technical background over the one who talks about "Business" and essentially doesn't really know what he's talking about...
    By the way, have you tried the Career forums?:

  • ABAP development license for integration certification

    Hello to all the forum members,
    My company is interested in certification some ABAP development that was developed for one of our costumers.
    The development was done using a developer license of the costumer and as we understood, ABAP development license is a pre-requisite to the integration certification process in order to receive your own name space.
    Could you please let me know if the costumer developer license is enough for us to start with the integration certification process.
    Thanks,
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    I also have something I want to present as "Powered by NetWeaver".
    Maybe we can combine forces and marketing?
    please contact me at: [email protected]
    I will call you back.
    BTW, I live now in Canada...

  • ABAP Development certification

    Hi all;
    I am certified as a support consultant for incident management for SAP business all in one, but I am thinking of having a career in ABAP Development, because I am into programming more.
    I have good basics in ABAP but I wanted to know how long it would take me to be an associate developer in ABAP, and what material I need to cover in order to make sure that I pass the exam with the code: C_TAW12_70
    Any advice will be great
    ~ Amal

    Hi,
    See this link for all the areas you need to cover:
    http://www.sap.com/services/education/certification/certificationtest.epx?context=[[C_TAW12_70|G]]|
    You would have to do all of these courses, and/or gain equivalent experience. That might take 2-3 years.
    The test itself is not that hard, so you might still get through after somewhat less experience. It is a multiple choice exam.
    cheers & good luck!

  • Creating add-on deployable package using AAK for ABAP add-on certification

    Hi all,
    We are planning for ABAP certification next month.
    I have some doubts if you can clarify please.
    We have our name space registered and AAK is also installed on system.
    Now with ABAP custom development we are planning to create Add-on CD using AAK.
    For custom development I can use AAK (SSDC & SSDA) to create .PAT installable files.
    How to create installable files for customizing i.e. configuration changes ?
    We have to create BC-Set using IMG activity and follow upload - download process or any other process to be followed to install configuration changes.
    Please provide some documentation for creating installabe files using AAK and BC-Set if available.
    Thanks in advance,
    Anand

    Hi Anand,
    Has this question ever been answered?
    Is it possible to package BC-sets in a PAT file?
    if not, how do you package BC-sets for certification?
    If yes, how did you manage to do this?
    Thanks

  • Software Configuration Management for ABAP Development ?

    Hi,
    we are a software company selling a Data Capture Solution.
    For this, we are currently in the process to develop an interface for transferring the extracted data into a customer's SAP R/3 system.
    Since we want to develop this interface following certain software engineering principles, we are looking for a way to solve certain simple common Software Configuration Management issues, such as:
    - Object Versioning (Similar to file versioning in classic software development): That means being able to:
    -- Keep track WHO changed WHAT WHEN and WHY?
    -- Revert to a former version of an object (e.g. when the fix of a former defect must be revoked for some reason)
    -- Keep track which changes have been made for a certain Change Request (NOT meaning SAP Change   Requests, but Change Request for our interface development)
    - Label a certain version state as 'released' or 'tested' or whatever
    - Perform a kind of 'Branching' (Classical Software Configuration Management task), e.g. when we   release a version of our interface and start the development of a new version, we must open a   'Maintenance Branch' of our released version parallel to the ongoing development of the future release.
    When I say 'Objects', I mean everything being concerned when developing something within R/3; that can be ABAP programs, forms, tables (structure and content(!)), etc.
    We are using an SAP System version ECC 5.0 for development; as for now, we have come to the conclusion to use the versioning that comes with the Transforms, although they do not really cover the above requirements as we would like to.
    Is there anybody out there who had the same idea and solved it somehow?
    My impression is that in the SAP world, classical Software Configuration Management is not a part of the way of thinking; and that development for SAP R/3 has little in common with classical software development.
    But maybe there is an add-on or some hidden features of NetWeaver or anything that can solve these issues.
    Hope is the last to die...
    Thank you very much for any feedback,
    Regards,
    Jörg

    Thank you very much for your answers!
    @Pushkar:
    No this is not exactly what I meant;
    What we want to do is a kind of classical configuration management or at least version control of
    development objects like ABAP programs, table definitions, table data etc. that are contained within our SAP development system.
    It's not about version management of external documents imported into SAP.
    I know that there is a kind of version control via Transports, but this does not cover all classical version control mechanisms; what we are missing there is
    - the possibility of reverting to an older version of an 'object'
    - Branching / Merging mechanisms
    - the possibility to choose which changes I want to release with which transform and which objects
    - view differences between arbitrary versions of an object
    I was hoping there is maybe a kind of 'add-on' or maybe even a built-in tool that provides classical version control mechanisms or something similar.
    Thank you for further help,
    Regards,
    Jörg

  • Discussion: Why no centralize development for Java (like the one in ABAP)

    I am reading the NetWeaver Development Infrastructure, and noticed that due to the distributed development nature of Java, SAP recommend The Four-System Landscape for the development lifecycle.
    Each developers has their own local development environment, that's why it is necessary to 'reconcile' the environment using one more layer of system. Although they checked out the particular Development Object, the necessary library from the central is being copied by DTR to the local environment. However, there are still possibilities that someone changes the library, or other classes that being refered. And we are not talking only about the business logic, but other object in the persistance level too. Let's say your program refered to a certain field in a certain table, but someone else had changed the field name. Or even worse, you want to get the setting value from a certain setting table, but someone else had deleted the value of that record (for whatever reason).
    In short, I believe there are many 'reconcilliation' process that need to be done when the development environment is not centralized. These problems won't happen in the ABAP world, because you will notice the problem straight away when you activate your component, or test run it. In distributed environment, you will only notice it when you check-in your development object back, but it might be after some time lags, and you might not remember which part need to be taken care of.
    Not only this, the setting of 'correct' IDE environment in each local PC must be done properly. Again, in ABAP you just need to install SAP GUI and it will be your development environment.
    So, I had discussion with a friend of mine, and he asked, why there is no central development environment, like the one in ABAP? Hmm, to be frank, I also don't know. Performance problem? I notice that most IDE in the market based on the assumption that development will be done locally. Or is it for the convenient purpose, so that people can keep the development eventhough there is no connection to central server? But what is the cost for this convenient?
    What other people think?
    rgs,
    Hiroshi
    ps: As you might notice, this thread is not marked as question. I am just curious of what other people think about this issue. There will be no points rewarded for the replies.

    Hello Satya,
    So if it's a 'mere' technical limitation, then there should be a way to create centralized development for Java
    It might be an old mainframe environment, but from the development process point of view, centralized environment offers benefit where lots of versioning problem (library or data dictionary) can be solved.
    I used to work in a distributed development environment to create a web based FI/SD/MM related application. We have tons of classic problem of '<i>it is working in my environment, but not in yours</i>' type of thing. With centralized (read: ABAP), version integrity problem can be reduced to minimum.
    For the NWDI itself, I think SAP now moves toward embracing the open source platform to support the development environment. From what I've understood, Ant, for example will be used as the build tool. My personal opinion is, better if SAP creates it's 'proprietary' environment to centralized the java development process. Then it will save lot's of hidden cost during the implementation of new application/enhancement/maintenance in the whole supply chain.

  • SAP HANA development languages for ABAP Developer

    Hi I was just looking at some blogs on HANA. Can anyone tell me how to learn the new HANA programming languages SQLScript etc. As you know not many companies use HANA yet, so getting to use a real HANA box can be hard as of now.. What are the other options... Can I install the HANA software on my PC and use it with a few Excel files or MS-Access db just to workout what these programming languages actually do.. Ofcourse I dont have access to the HANA box(hardware that SAP talks about). I am an ABAP Developer I have access to ECC if that helps.
    Also from what I can understand the HANA box sits on top of the ECC/BW systems etc  or would HANA replace some aspects of the Application Server and sit in the R3 architecture? if the second scenario is true would most of the ABAP reports etc written using traditional ABAP have to be replaced or modified to use HANA related code in them to improve performance(I know ABAP doesnt support this yet).
    If companies start using HANA I would think most ABAP developments just querying to get data would need to be rewritten-even the webdynpro applications for performance.
    Can HANA update DBs as well?
    Would HANA programming be a required skill for most ABAP developers in future?

    Hello Sk,
    so far (with HANA 1.0 SPS 2), the only relevant languages to learn is SQL and SQL Script. Check http://service.sap.com/hana which has SQL and SQL Script Guides.
    Since you know ABAP already, you will pick these things up rather quickly. There are as you noted some concepts you have to understand in order to make optimal use of the HANA features and get maximum performance (anyone could come up with SQL or SQL script that crawls to a halt even in HANA). One key is to process everything is sets of data rather than record by record. Another important item is to keep all processing within the column engine. Also avoid joins that lead to large intermediate results. We are currently writing some how-to guides which will be publised on http://www.experiencesaphana.com/. Stay tuned!
    In terms of the architecture, I would say HANA as a database sits below the application server and/or client, for example, BW powered by HANA where HANA plays the role of the DBMS. The other option is to run side-by-side for example, connecting HANA to an existing ECC (that runs on MS-SQL). In either case, you are right; the logic (either in the application on top of HANA, or the models inside HANA) needs to be changed or created to take advantage of HANA.
    Where can you learn more? Class room training TZHANA or come back regularly to the Try section of the Experience Site where we plan to publish other options.
    Regards,
    Marc
    SAP Customer Solution Adoption (CSA)
    PS: And we certainly have plans to integrate HANA features into ABAP

  • Minisap installation for abap development

    Hi everyone. I'd like to install minisap in order to learn ABAP development. But I didn't manage to install it yet. Could anyone help me or give instructions on intallation or other mean to practise my learning in ABAP.
    thanks.

    Hi kenfo2011,
      ABAP is not difficult to learn if you already have programing experience. In fact I find the language much cleaner and the utilities and tools much more efficient than many  mainstream dynamic languages. To begin with ABAP, there are many many tutorials, forums, blogs and books that you will find online. As for actually getting to the interface you have two possibilities. SAP offers a development server you can install on your own system. I do not have the link on hand and it is somewhat cumbersome to install and setup the database, but you can find this on SAP page.
    However, the better option is, if you currently work at a place that uses SAP, ask the administrator to get you a development KEY for their DEV, test or training systems. This way not only will you have access to execute your own ABAP code on the server, but also access to business data to report on (development server does not provide business transactions). If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.
    For your first program of course:
             WRITE:/ 'HELLO WORLD!'.
    Good Luck and Regards,
