ABAP or SAP Basis Administration

Hello,
i want to learn SAP. As modul i don't know, which one is better? (ABAP with Netweaver or SAP Basis Administration.)
Which one do you find better and why?
i would be appreciated, if you would inform me.
Best regards,

I recommend you to go for SAP Basis , Which is less stressful than ABAP programming with OOPS concept
What an unfounded statement.
Which one do you find more stressful?
Which one earns more Money?
People don't join a career to avoid stress or to make money out of it (those are just consecuenses). You should consider your options based on your talent, your experience, your ability to learn.

What are the sap basis administrator tasks for SAP CRM 7.0

Hello Guys,
I am an SAP BASIS administrator. I have never worked on any CRM system.
Now a days people in market talk much about wheather you have worked on CRM.
I have no idea how CRM basis administration is different from the basis administartion of other products based on netweaver.
I would appreciate if someone throw some light on "SAP basis administration of CRM system".
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Some excellent documentations are available in:- https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/crm-inst (search for the operation guide pdfs, if required you can also check inst/upg docs). User your S user id/password to login.
From my experience, in practical field most of the issues you will face with qRFC/BDoc message flow handling and JAVA stack administration. Stress on these two areas and go through the guides, CRM admin won't be a major issue.
Once you go through the basic operation guides and start working on the system then you will come to know there exists many CRM specific trx(SMW02,SMWP..etc) codes and CRM related tables(CRMPAROLTP,CRMRFCPAR.. etc),bgd jobs/reports - which you have to take care at times.
Thanks

Getting into SAP Basis Administration

Hi,
I am interested in getting into SAP BASIS Administration. I am currently working as a Windows System Administrator and have been in the IT industry for over 10yrs and looking for a change somewhat...i have very little programming experience, just some scripting here and there. How difficult is it to get into this area? I live in the U.S. Any companies willing to hire someone for entry level BASIS position or mentor? Thanks.

Hi Zylan,
You can refer the below SAP website for authorized training centres in your country.
https://training.sap.com (Visit 'Training locations')
And for details about BASIS, you can refer the below post (especially refer reply from Kiran Kumar).
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3184501
As I had said earlier, if you wish to start without training then you need to be part of an organisation where SAP is implemented.

SAP Netweaver XI VS SAP ABAP VS SAP BW

Hi Guys,
I'm an SAP BASIS administrator. But I am thinking of a career change in my company and if I will be given a chance, I am choosing between the three below.
SAP Netweaver XI
SAP BW
SAP ABAP
I am confuse on which of these three is the best one.
I like BW because many says that this is very in demand.
I like ABAP because I love programming. But I am afraid that this will not be in demand in the future because of the (Netweaver - is it true?)
Lastly, knowing that Netweaver is new in SAP, I am thinking that this will be popular and in demand now and in the future.
Could you guys share your thoughts about this? Which one is the best to choose from the three.
Thank you in advance.
Erwin

Hi,
In my view as you are already experienced in BASIS you shall go with it and cover the all stacks of NetWeaver and be the NetWeaver BASIS consultant. Here you can have exposure of all the stacks XI/EP/MDM etc and as a BASIS person you will have more opportunity as well if you are able to handle it.

SAP Basis administrators role on new dimensional products like BW, EP, SRM

Hello All,
I have been working as a SAP basis administrator and still fail to understand what are the main administrative roles as a SAP BASIS administrator on new dimentional products like BW, EP, SRM, MDM etc. aprt from installing them and basic security work.
The respective technical consultants are already present like BW consultant, EP consultant but in the intervies/job portals they ask a SAP Basis administrator for administrative experience on new dimentional products.
Can anyone clear these doubts.
Thank you

My opinion if it need for your enterprise (and you can learn it on sap courses for example) not problem to administrate this products, every BW or EP or SRM has a part of Basis adm. and every of them are on ABAP or JAVA .... But special settings and configuring BW for example are under BW administartors protection...
It differs from the opportunities of Enterprises and knowledge of a particular person ...
Regards.

SAP Netweaver Administration

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am working as a Weblogic Application Server Administrator/Engineer for past 5 years. I want to make a career change and enter into SAP world. I want to stay in the Administration world though I have 5 years of Java development experience.
Recently I am doing some research and trying to understand SAP Basis Administration and SAP NetWeaver Administration. I understand that SAP Basis Administration is for previous R/3 Systems and NetWeaver is SAP New platform which replaces R/3 system.
I request to clarify above understanding if I am mistaken.
I have been looking at Job posting in NetWeaver administration and I get SAP Basis job posting reponses. I am confused with this ...
Should I learn both SAP Basis administration AND SAP NetWeaver Administration to enter into SAP Administration world
Can anyone shed some light on this
Thanks --Gopal

Hi Gopal,
SAP Netweaver consist of 2 application platforms, The first one is the R/3 abap system (this is where the Basis come from) and the second one is the J2EE that serve as platform for the SAP Enterprise Portal.
Basically a good Netweaver administration should have good knowledge about both.
Follow the link for the product description

SAP BASIS - Can System Admin experience (Non-SAP) transfer into SAP Basis?

Greetings everyone, I hope you are well this weekend.
I've heard how great SAP careers are for the dedicated and I'm doing my research to find out if an SAP career is viable and if so which is a good entry point. I've read a book by John Von Aspen and in his book he suggests starting out in a customer service rep position for an SAP company as an end user to use as an entry point, but for my background is there another way?
I'm a computer science graduate of DeVry in Atlanta with Technical Support experience and I'm currently working in an IT customer service position. My career has only begun and I'm in the process of mapping out the best route to start in SAP. I'm looking into BASIS as a starting point out of all the functional modules and technical roles available but I am open to all areas. If the next point in my career map were a System Administration role, and if I were to have a few years experience in that role, could I transfer the skills gained into an SAP BASIS administrator? Between now and then I would have done much self study from books and any online courses I could afford. However would I still be short of what a hiring manager is looking for if I don't have an direct experience with SAP Basis?
If such a path would not be viable, what would be the next best step to take coming from Tech/Customer Support?
Thank you,
Sabir

Hi Sabir
I have not read his book so cannot comment too much on that. However, I did a quick search and saw his background is CRM. Perhaps his recommended career path was an example based on his background?
It sounds like you are a planner which is a good trait to have if you are determined to switch over. What sort of technical support are are you doing? If you are a recent graduate you might be able to look to apply to graduate programs in some consultancies (I won't mention names but if you google SAP consultancy graduate position you will find a heap of names).
As far as getting across to Basis the sort of research you could do is look at the SCN communities for System Administration and see they times of themes of the questions. To transition from general system administration to SAP you could look at skilling up with Databases (e.g. Oracle), Operating Systems, Networks, etc. These skills will compliment the Basis skill set but also protect your investment should a SAP job not work out - you still have skills to be valued elsewhere.
In relation to training and education, you want might to research about the SAP Learning Hub. If you are good at self-teaching and learning online this would be a good way for you to invest in training and go at your own pace and keep your cost down. There is a free discovery edition for you to see what the course content it like but it does not give you much of the system administration component.
I would hold off going for any certification (cost) unless until you some experience (unless ofcourse, it becomes a requirement for the job).
The final bit for getting into SAP is investigate the companies that use SAP. Keep looking out for job opportunities to join one of them and then find a way to move into the SAP system administration area.
Good luck with it all and if you have any specific question let us know
Cheers
Colleen

SAP Basis/Abap components with diff Version inEnterprise Service Builder

Dear Experts,
We have PI 7.4 system in our environment, when i check content in ESR, i have found different versions components as below.
SAP ABA 7.30
SAP BASIS 7.02 & SAP BASIS 7.40
I would like to know, since system is 7.4 version, do I need to maintain SAP ABA & Basis with 7.4 content only. Would there be any impact on developments/Models which are done using above version of ESR Content if I upload 7.40 Version content.
If I am not wrong developments/Models done with above versions would work with 7.40 too, but keen on to know what would be impact if I upload
7.40 Content in system.
Is there any possibility migrate developments/models/object to *tpz from above versions to 7.40 , if required.
I have checked SAP Note 1632370 - Maintenance of ESR Content (XI Content),SAP Note 1865292 - SAP NetWeaver 7.4: Import of ESR-Content,
and also link Importing ESR Content - Configuring Process Integration (PI) After Installation - SAP Library
still i dont see any information related to PI 7.4
SAP Note 1632370 has attachment where it only provides 7.30 version related ESR information.
Regards
ks

Hi Giridharan,
Thanks for reply.
I have gone through sap note 1868799 - SAP Basis ESR content versions after PI upgrade had clarified my questions.
There is no issue with seeing multiple versions of the SAP Basis content in the ESR or in the Integration Builder.
The Communication Channels will continue to work as normal using the old SAP Basis version.
The SAP Basis content contains the Adapter Metadata.
New adapter features are delivered with this Adapter Metadata.
If you have no business requirement to use any new features, then you don't need to make any changes to the existing channel configurations.
If you do have a requirement to use any new features, then you will need to change from the pre-upgrade version to the new PI version.
New channels can use either the older SAP Basis versions or the new SAP Basis version (it makes more sense to use the newer version).
Regards
sk
