BO professional - Should I learn SAP BI as well !!!

Hello All,
I am Business Objects Professional 2.5+ years of experience in BO.
However After SAP-BO Acquisition, I am bit worried about the skillset.
Do you think I should learn SAP BI in order to enhance my BI skills.
Which SAP BI skills would be crucial for a BO professional.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me to clear my doubt and make a decision.

Lol.
Its BWA.
@ Kuldeep Chitrakar:
Can you you suggest a next SAP skill i should learn (in BI/BW space).
Three things:
SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW)
SAP Business Explorer (SAP BEx)
SAP NetWeaver BW Accelerator (BWA)
Source: The blog above
If you are really interested then Integrated planning or the newer BPC ,BCS and some EP knowledge would add value.I have not worked on BO, so if all reporting in future turns to BO then you are master of all.

Pls suggest me which SAP module should i learn

I have done M.Sc Electronics and have more than 6 yrs experience in Life Insurance Training. which SAP module should I learn

I suggest you start reading about ERP and then about SAP. Get a basic idea of what SAP is all about and what are the major modules in SAP. Then select a module that best suits your domain experience and your interest. Once you've zeroed in on the right modules, start making enquiries if the job market is good for that module. If there's a good demand for those Consultants in the market, then plan to take up a course.
Here depending on your financial situation you need to decide if you can afford a SAP Certified training course or not. After completing the course start marketting yourself in the market using all the jobsites and professional networks untill you land yourself a job. This is the toughest part.
There are numerous threads and blogs with the same objective as yours. Read through them to get an idea.
Good Luck.

one of my friend is in to Retail domain..non SAP Domain working with one retail channel as a store manager. ...Wants to learn SAP....which module should he go for..SD / CRM / or direct IS_Retail certification...as a fresher where he will be able to get chance...???
i am working as a SAP Recruiter in some company..so i am aware that there is not much demand for fresher in this industry..

Plenty of information about Retail education on <a href="https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/RETAIL">Service Marketplace - Retail</a> where you will find course descriptions. For example:
This curriculum comprises an Overview Course (Level 2), which explains the main retailing processes in SAP for Retail, plus seven Detailed Courses (Level 3), which examine specific retailing processes and how these are mapped and controlled in SAP for Retail.
The Overview Course IRT100 (Retail Process Overview) explains the core processes of a retailing company. Based on a scenario in which merchandise is sold from stores, the course demonstrates how the store and distribution center are supplied with goods. Further process examples are the special cases of promotions and return of merchandise.

Dear All
I am Janakiraman and interest in SAP Hana learning and Certification...i am not Professional graduate...i have technical diplomo only..any professional degree must for SAP HANA 1.0 Certification learning?

Hi
Yes, if you are planning to install new system(BW 7.3). No need for migration or use oracle DB.
BW 7.3 on HANA, where HANA will work as DB for your BW 7.3.
Hope you already have advantages of using BW on HANA.

Guide me - to Learn SAP

Hi Friends,
Am willing to learn SAP HR. I am from HR Recruitment background.
Kindly help me, how to start from scratch and also help me in suggesting proper study material, where i can learn the basics of SAP and then SAP HR.
Looking forward for your valuable suggestions.
Regards
Ays

Hi,
The better way to understand any module functionally is to know the domain,
Country specific logics , Calculation Logic and statutory knowledge
Once you are an domain expert, you can map processes as per the business logic in any System.
In SAP HCM you should first know Payroll(PY module).
Why Payroll first, All the results are calculated in Payroll , All results are posted to FI from Payroll
Get to know on the Schema & PCR's for the flow logic and study the log comparing with the logical flow of the schema.
All the other module are satellite module revolving around the PY module
You get all the inputs from OM,PA,Time to PY and Output to FI modules.
Other modules part of HR practises emphasising on Trainings, Recruitment,Country specific Modules
like Compensation & Benefits.
To enhance and get to know everything on Web get to know on ESS, MSS, E-Recruitment.
I would suggest you if you are working on Indian Payroll try and learn all the concepts of Payroll
Look at your own tax sheet/ form16( Indian PY) and derive step by step calculation
Once you are thru with this try to study w.r.t. SAP PY

It will be great if you can send me study material (with screen shot).
What is the best way to practice handon? I have my own PC.How can i get SAP BW installed in it?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Rohith Kumar ,
To learn BW , u should know about DATA SOURCE , INFO CUBE , PSA, EXTRACT STRUCTURE , TRANSFER STRUCTURE etc.
Now my suggesstion try to learn BI ( BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE ) which is advance to BW.
The following websites contain PDF & PPT docs on BI/BW which will gain u confidence in it:
What is a BW datasource?What is meant by maintaining a datasource?
A BW datasource is a structure which is created in the source system and replicated to the BW system. Maintaining a datasource in a source system is doing any changes related to the datasource. It could be adding/deleting fields or checking the flags in the datasource like the hide and selection flag. Also, if the datasource is provided in the LO Cockpit, changes can be made there too depending on how the extraction of data is ...

Creating SAP BW data source definitions
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ablxhelp/v8r4m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.abx.dev.doc/abx-t-develop-sapbwdatasource.html
An InfoCube describes a self-contained dataset (from the reporting view), for example, for a business-oriented area. This dataset can be evaluated with the BEx query.An InfoCube is a set of relational tables that are created in accordance with the star schema: a large fact table in the center, with several dimension tables surrounding it.
In its esence, Infocube is a data container. Data containers are used as a basis for analysis and reporting processes in SAP BW. Infocubes in SAP BW serve exactly this purpose. Infocubes in SAP consist of Key figures and characteristics. You can find some detailed information on key figures here. Simply speaking, infocube is any repository which contains data. Moving on to the types of infocubes. In SAP BW, there are basically two classes of infocubes. These are:
Basic Infocubes - These are also called as physical infocubes.
Remote Infocubes - These are also called as virtual infocubes.
The basic difference between the above two types of infocubes is that basic infocubes are physically stored in the same SAP BW system as their meta data description. Remote infocubes are stored on a third party custom SAP BW. Both the above types of BW infocubes consist of key figures and characteristics. These characteristics in turn are divided into 16 dimensions. More on that in another post.

Extract Structure
In the extract structure, data from a DataSource is staged in the source system. The extract structure contains the amount of fields that are offered by an extractor in the source system for the data loading process. You can edit and enhance DataSource extract structures in the source system. To do this, in the BW Administrator Workbench choose Goto à Modeling à Source Systems à Your Source System à Context Menu (right mouse click) à Customizing Extractors à Subsequent Processing of DataSources.
Transfer Structure
The transfer structure is the structure in which the data is transported from the source system into the SAP Business Information Warehouse. It provides a selection of the extract structure fields for the source system.
Use
The transfer structure provides BW with all the source system information available for a business process.
An InfoSource in BW requires at least one DataSource for data extraction. DataSource data that logically belongs together is staged in an extract structure in an SAP source system.
In the transfer structure maintenance, you determine which extract structure fields are transferred to the BW. When you activate the transfer rules in BW, an identical transfer structure for BW is created in the source system from the extractor structure.
This data is transferred 1:1 from the transfer structure of the source system into the BW transfer structure, and is then transferred into the BW communication structure using the transfer rules.
A transfer structure always refers to a DataSource from a source system and an InfoSource in BW.
You get to the maintenance of the transfer structure using the InfoSource tree of the Administrator Workbench. The context menu of the source system belonging to an InfoSource provides you with the maintenance marker using the function Maintain Transfer Rules.
This website gives all definitions of Info object,infocube,infosource,datasource,commn structure,extract structure ..etc..

SAP Business Information Warehouse
SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is the name of the Business Intelligence, analytical, reporting and Data Warehousing (DW) solution which is one of the major enterprise software applications produced by SAP AG. It was originally named SAP BIW, (Business Information Warehouse), but is now known as "SAP NetWeaver BI".
SAP BW consists among other things of components for data management (Data Warehousing Workbench), extensive data modeling capabilities, an embedded analytical engine, a suite of rich front-end analytical tools refererred to as Business Explorer (BEx), and operational tools used for importing the most current transactional data into the system. It may be helpful to consider layers that make up the structure of SAP's BI solution:
Extraction, Transformation and Load (ETL) layer - responsible for extracting data from a specific source, applying transformation rules, and loading it into SAP BW system.
Data warehouse area - responsible for storing the information in various types of structures, including multidimensional structures called InfoCubes.
Reporting - responsible for accessing the information in data warehouse area and presenting it in a user-friendly manner to the analyst or business user.
Planning - Provides capabilities for the user to run simulations and perform tasks such as budget calculations.
SAP's BI application is a very pervasively employed data warehouse / analytical enterprise software solution, often utilized heavily by companies that essentially run their business on SAP operational systems such as SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP, traditionally known as SAP R/3). SAP's BI solution contains a large number of predefined "extractors", a very significant amount of pre-defined business content in the form of InfoCubes, master data (i.e. objects representing the entity for "Customer", or "Material"), authorization roles, query views and reports all delivered in the software by SAP. Some of the significant benefits of this approach include the ability to leverage SAP's substantial business knowledge from many years of developing extremely sophisticated software systems for the world's largest companies, typically shortening project development cycles in the process. The pre-defined business content can be modified to meet an organization's specific requirements, while at the same time taking advantage of general aspects of these delivered data models and reports that are somewhat foundational and have broad application in business, government, and education.
SAP BW is now part of a suite of SAP applications called SAP NetWeaver. Other components of SAP NetWeaver include SAP Enterprise Portal (EP, called SAP NetWeaver Portal as of Release 7.0), Web Application Server (WAS), SAP Process Integration (PI, or previously XI, i.e. eXchange Infrastructure) and Master Data Management (MDM).
The 7.0 version of SAP BW was released in June 2006 as part of the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (aka 2004s). This new release includes many new features, such as next-generation reporting and analytical features, major data warehousing enhancements, and possibility to use innovative techology for query performance optimization called "BI Accelerator". BI Accelerator (or BIa) comes as an external applicance, i.e. complete hardware with pre-installed software. BIa requires separate licence fee.
From SAP NetWeaver 7.0 on, the term SAP BW is obsolete, and instead it is referred simply as "SAP NetWeaver BI" - i.e. "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI".
According to SAP, more than 12,000 installations of SAP's BI solution exist.
SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) is SAP´s Data Warehouse solution. It has been specially developed to allow you to gather and analyze all kinds of statistical information in the best possible way.
The SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is a core element of mySAP.com. SAP BW is an enterprise-wide information hub that enables data analysis from R/3 and other business application, including external data sources such as databases and the Internet. SAP BW also offers easy integration with other mySAP solutions, such as mySAP Supply Chain
Management (mySAP SCM), mySAP Strategic Enterprise Management (mySAP SEM), and mySAP Customer Relationship Management (mySAP CRM).
SAP BW is a comprehensive end-to-end data warehouse solution with optimized structures for reporting and analysis. To help knowledge workers quickly mine an enterpriseu2019s business data, SAP BW is equipped with preconfigured information models and reports, as well as automatic data extraction and loading methods.
With an easy-to-use Microsoft Excel-based user interface, you can create, format, and analyze reports, and publish those reports to the web. Built for high performance, SAP BW resides on its own dedicated server. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and reporting activities are therefore separated, and system performance is not compromised.
COMPONENTS & TOOLS OF SAP NetWeaver:SAP NetWeaver BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Who should be an SAP Mentor? Please nominate! - Deadline 26th. Feb

Hi all,
The SCN Team is looking for new Mentors.
SAP Mentors are the top community influencers of the SAP Ecosystem. Most mentors work for customers or partners of SAP. All of them are hands-on experts of an SAP product or service, as well as excellent champions for product roll-in and roll-out. They have been nominated by their peers on the basis of their passion for the community and their willingness to contribute and share as well as motivate others.
Please take a look at the Blog here: /people/mark.finnern/blog/2010/02/15/who-should-be-an-sap-mentor-please-nominate
Or directly
vote here: http://bit.ly/sapmentornomination
Deadline for the nomination is Friday the 26th of February
P.S: Top 3 Contributors, of the last 30 days: 1. Gordon Du (1,730); 2. János Nagy (358); 3. Thanga Raj.K (344)

But I don´t like the concept of wikis. I don´t understand who, why, when will change my content. And I don´t want anybody to do that. But these are only my personal feelings and I can work on this.
I am also sceptical about them. I created some wikis, but no one else contributes further to them. It is however the rather "niche" type of wiki.
If you let the people to create these "personal learning paths", people will try.
There was a guy in the MM forums who documented every transaction in SAP by asking for link-farms to anything relating to the tcode. We stopped him too late.
If there were a new mechanism how to do things it would attract people. I can imagine for example Chintan Virani to run his own "Portal school your youngsters" etc.
Probably I would enrole as a fresher. I like Chintan, and in my free time look up to see his recent posts.
My offer stands if you want to do anything security related. If you initiate it, I will join for sure. There are also existing initiatives which you can join - see the functionality wishlist.
One last thing: American presidents ask who should they call to talk with Europe. There is no such number. And there is no such place here on SDN.
Regarding your reference to the "grouping" notion (BEGRU heh??) - I am currently trying to learn Hindi. Actually, Bollycat Urdu. SDN is for me a natural platform to find such people and I have many friends from India met via SDN. I also need a mentor for this but it is tough to achieve without disturbing others in the public realm.
If anyone would like to help me, then we can use the non-English playground forum. The background is to attend TechEd Bangalore 2010 and be able to understand (more or less) what is going on around me.
Cheers,
Julius

How long does it take and how should I learn...

Hi. First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
I am new to web-design (as in brand-new xD) and wish to learn Dreamweaver. With Dreamweaver being such a big application, with so many different tools etc I decided it would be best if I learned the languages I wish to use first, so as I know what Dreamwever is creating and I can 'fine-tune' my websites.
The languages I wish to learn are:
HTML
PHP
Javascript
MySQL (I am aware that this isn't a 'language', but would still like to learn how it works and use it effectively)
CSS
My questions are:
In which order should I learn these languages?
Which version of each language should I learn?
For example should I learn HTML5, with it being relatively new and not widely supported, but with the support growing so fast would it be worth just learning HTML5 straight away?
Can you reccomend any books etc for me to learn with? I am a full time college student, so will be teaching myself after college hours.
How long should I expect it to take to learn each language? (If you want to give the answer in days/months assume I will be spending 2hours per day average learning each language)
I do not want to learn every single detail about each language, but I do want to learn to a high enouhg level that I am comfortable with reading, understanding and editing my own code.
To help me understand your answers more clearly it would be great if you can just copy and paste this below (although feel free not to ):
What order should I learn these in?
Language:
Version:
How long (roughly) should it take?:
What resources van you reccomend for me to learn from?:
What experience do you have? (I'm just nosey like that :P):
Other comments:
Please feel free to copy and paste the second half (with all the questions) as many times as you like for each language you choose to tell me about.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated and please, if you for some reason find this post offensive, think back to when you were learning; everyone has to start somewhere.
Thanks for your time,
Ryan
