Career after one and half years of ABAP experience

Hi all,
I am an ABAPer with one and half year of experience.
I wanted to know if its really worth to switch to netweaver after having around one and half years of ABAP experience as in india promotions are faster and one remains technical person for around 7 years only as in case i take some netweaver component at this stage i will have to start from zero .Further marketwise is there too vast difference between an ABAPer and Netwaver technical consultant as it will again take one and half year to learn new Netweaver component and by the time i will be having 3 years of ABAP experience in case i decide to remain inABAP.
In other words which one is better option between one and half years of Netweaver experience or 3 years of ABAP experience marketwise and careerwise.I will be really thankful if somebody can give a bit descriptive explanation in this regard.
Thanks.

Hi Sandeep,
It would be better to choose what you like the most ie feel comfortable to work. If you really want to swith to Netweaver then go for visual composer it is very easy to learn and there are lot of opportunites in US with a very high package.
It is would be best if you concentrate to become a techno functional rather than going for the Netweaver. So that you will explore more in ABAP as well as in the functional side.
Sap runs on Business process,technology may come and go but the Business still remains like SD, MM, FI etc....

    Hello Sandeep,
    The market is never static , it keeps on changing, 'Change is the only constant' . Currently Netweaver platform is the platform of choice for SAP Customers and many are involved in upgrading their systems to the latest SAP Offerings.
    You should invest in Netweaver , there are several learning courses you can take up or maybe buy books and rely on self learning.
    What career you want to choose is your personal issue, however SAP will definitely phase out ABAP in the near future (maybe a decade), so its worth investing money and time now into a product which SAP has decided to go forward with.
    On the soft skill side, you can always learn project management and people management, there are several courses out in the market for the same, this will slowly progress your career and take you away to a point where underlying technology does not matter.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards,
    Siddhesh

    i have iphone 4 and i used it for a one and half years.i used it in sri lanka and doha qatar also..,recently i update it i.o.s 7, then it was working.after i.o.s 7.0.3 came i again updeted it and now my phone network is not working.now phone is locked.pls help.

    I am seeing if I can get another battery even though I do not believe that is the issue.  It keeps giving me vdd_under which I believe is under voltage, maybe it is just a faulty battery?  It charges up like normal and functions normal (when plugged in, or above 90%) but it gives under voltage warnings and shuts down when in heavy use (using camera or going back and forth to imessage).  When just sitting idle it doesn't seem to turn off until that 55-60% mark.  It may just be a faulty battery because I feel I installed all of the other cables correctly when replacing the screen, and I don't think those connections should affect the battery anyway except for maybe the logic board cable (the 2nd cable to be unplugged after the battery cable) I guess I could clean that out as well with isopropyl just in case.
    Any other suggestions would be helpful... and I will get back to you if a new battery helps.  Thanks!

  • Multiple ZR2740w failures within one and half year

    Hello,
    i would like to ask you if it is "normal" for me to have this series of issues with my ZR2740w's (by normal i mean if this is typical problem for this model; i know it is not normal to have that many RMA) :
    1) first ZR2740w (let's call it A, bought in December 2011) died completely one month after purchase, panel got replaced via the onsite warranty by a new panel (let's call it B; RMA at end of January 2012).
    2) i bought a second ZR2740w (let's call it C) a half year later.
    3) C died one month ago after a year (end of April 2013), got replaced by probably a new or refurbished panel (call this one D) :
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NnHiEn42cM
    4) D died today, same (or very similar) issue as C; i expect a replacement panel around Friday or next Monday :
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU1wf7QsvWQ
    I wonder if it is something at my side, but i can't imagine what, everything else works fine. Socket voltage is withing tolerance (voltage here in Slovakia should be 230V, my socket has 236V which is within the +/-5% tolerance), the issue happens using any of connections (DVI/DP), from any source (tried 2 different computers with 3 different graphic cards - 2x Intel in various computers, 1xNVIDIA), using different power cables. C died when used on Eaton UPS, D died when connected directly to the socket.
    While i still have year and half left from the warranty of the older display and nearly 2 years of the newer one, i dislike this happening all the time, as it means i am usually one week without one of my displays, plus i can expect both displays dying within one year after the warranty expires, which is unacceptable for ~600€ display (that is around a half of my monthly salary).
    PS: And i don't even mentoin the "running pixels" issue of B on certain backgrounds (gray, blue and similar darker colors) - the pixels are moving from top to bottom, from half to about 3/4 of the display width; this one can be seen mostly when i am closer than 40cm from the display, further away it is nearly invisible (it's hard to catch it on camera, i hope you can see it at the first half of the video) :
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhiPDpSsa3g
    PS2: And i am not sure i will be even able to ask for refund once the replacement for D dies again, as it would be the 3rd failure within warranty, but technically the whole panel gets replaced, so not sure if that law applies in this case... Plus it was replaced by an authorized HP service, not by the seller.

    Just got a call from service centre, they will replace this display again, and if i get a 3rd failure within the warranty period they will refund me through the seller i bought the display from. Still can't understand why it happens, the only common thing between the failures of C and D is the power socket i get the power from (no issues with other devices connected to the same power line - LCD TV, AVR, two PC's, another ZR2740w, 23xi, Mac Mini), which i cannot change and not even the other ZR2740w has problems with.

  • My iPhone 5 the speakers is not working suddenly so I went to get the warranty service the open the mobil and told me it's broken so he put out of the warranty and I have to pay the fixing amount also after one and half month only come how

    I bought it from jarir book store Riyadh Saudi Arabia the work shop told me no replacement for it we will fix it this bad reputation for apple products I want somebody sort it out for me plz I have the work sheet number if needed

    We are all fellow users on here and not Apple employees.
    Is this an Apple store you are dealing with, or an Apple authorized repair service?  If it is only one and a half months old it is still in warranty, unless it has had accidental damage done to it.

  • My GF4 MX440 TV-OUT finally works after one and half a year!!!

    I bought this MSI GF4 MX440 video card in the middle of 2002. It comes with TV-IN and TV-OUT. The TV-IN works well and I can record video by connecting it to the AV-OUT of my TV. However, the TV-OUT didn’t work: after connecting the TV-OUT port to the AV-IN of the TV, the driver detected the TV correctly, but after selected clone option from nView, the whole screen of TV becomes light gray and no picture is displayed at all. I tried more than 5 different drivers (including the original MSI driver) and Win9x, Win2000 and XP, nothing works.
    Yesterday I installed TVTool, and strange things happened: when I run TVTool the first time, nothing was changed: the TV is still in light gray color. After I clicked on button “Scan” in “Adjust” tab in TVTool, the screen of computer is displayed in the TV! Even if I quit TVTool, the TV-OUT is still working. I went to the display properties and setup TV as the device for full screen display, then when I use Windows Media Player or Real Player to play a video using normal size, the movie is displayed full screen on TV automatically! It’s really amazing. After stopped playing the video, the TV comes back to display the screen of the monitor again.
    After I rebooted the system, the TV-OUT was not working initially, TV displays light gray again. But after run TVTool once without doing anything, the TV-OUT starts working even if quit TVTool now. So now when I want to use TV-OUT, I have to run TVTool once and the quit it. It is much better than nothing works at all.
    I cannot explain why this happens. It looks that the TVTool enables something in the chip of the video card. Hope this will help somebody else.
    BTW, this is my first and will be the last video card from MSI.

    i m also having the same MX440 card , i am also having one problem with it..
    i can run the TV-OUT option easily..
    but as the screen of computer is displayed in the TV, but when i try to run any movie on my PC and i want to see the movie simultaniously at the same time , it is not possible ..
    i can only see it on the primary display which is set.. , it coult be TV or monitor..
    i want to see the same movie in both the display at the same time , is that possible ?
    please someone help me ..
    thanks

  • My macbook is two and half year old, going to sleep mode randomly

    Having used this Macbook for almost two and half years, my machine has suddenly generated the problem of going to random sleep. It started as an infrequent thing, then it started happening on a regular basis, to the point that it became almost impossible to work with it. When the computer goes to sleep mode, it doesn't wake up with any key, it has to be woken up by pressing the power button lightly.
    Here are the steps I took:
    1. The normal thing I did was search Apple Forum and then reset SMC, PRam, then changed energy saving options, everything. Nothing worked.
    2. Ran the hardware test and no problems found.
    3. Ran the Macbook with all options: with just the battery, without the Magsafe connected, with Battery and Magsafe connected together, with battery removed and the computer running on Magsafe only. Random Sleep continues
    4. Thought must be a connection issue and ran to Apple Store in Kolkata, India, thinking that it could be a connection issue with the sleep-mode cable. Apple Store kept the Macbook for seven days, saying that they needed to check the machine, returned it on the seventh day saying that the machine was fine and charged me Indian Rupee 1,500/- (about $ 34). I came back home and the problem persists.
    (Here I would like to add that Apple Service in Kolkata *****, probably ***** all over India, simply because Apple is not a major player in this country. The service engineer at Apple Store was at a loss with my problem and after seven days could only say, "We have done our internal tests and found no problem with your Macbook." When I asked about the Sleep Mode sensor connection, he said, "That is working fine, we have checked that.")
    5. After coming back home, I faced the same problem, this time with lesser time gap. It would go off to sleep every one minute or so. I decided to set my computer on "never to sleep mode" in the enery saving option. Alas, that didn't help either.
    6. I redid the hardware check, only to find that my computer hasn't detected any hardware problem.
    7. Now, as a previous Windows user, I thought that the problem must have been with the OS. So, at the risk of losing all my files, I decided to reload the OS. (My original OS DVD was Leopard, but it was later upgraded to Snow Leopard by the vendor free of cost). I took backup in Time Machine, and backed up the documents in another Disk and reloaded the OS. All seemed fine so far, for about 10 minutes. I was now confident that finally I could solve the problem and was then planning to migrate my previous files to my newly loaded OS-X. Alas, I was wrong. Before I could connect the external HDD to my computer, my Macbook went back to its previous trick of falling asleep.
    I'll definitely take back my Macbook to Apple Care tomorrow, but with my experience here in Kolkata, don't know whether they would be able to solve anything. Last time I had to show them the posts in Apple Forum to prove that Random Sleep is a problem that happens to Macbook.
    PS: My Macbook is with aluminium body bought in January 2009. Out of warranty. My optical drive conked off long ago (after about 15 months or so after I bought the Macbook) and I live with an external drive.  

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I have 3.4 years of ABAP experience. Planning to learn SAP BI and Move to BI. Kindly Suggest

    Hi Experts,
    I have been working for almost 3 and half years on SAP ABAP. Now i am planning to Learn SAP BI/BW and move my carrier to SAP BI/BW Completely.
    What would be the opportunities and carrier growth in the coming years for this combination. Please suggest.
    I have read all the previous posts which were posted a year back about the same combination. But please suggest according to the present trend.
    I will definitely consider your each and every suggestion of you as a priority one to my carrier growth.
    Thanks and Regards,
    V Shankar

    HI V
    if you already know it's better opportunities then it sounds like you have already answered your question
    if you are not familiar with the concept of big data or HANA I recommend you enter those terms in your search engine or look at SCN Front page and start reading
    as far as how to retrain and transition that will really depend on your current employment situation. What would be a great combination is a mix of ABAP with HANA. Without going into further detail I think you will gain more insight by your own research
    regards
    Colleen

  • ABAP Certified and 3 years in ABAP..now thinking of next certification

    Hi Gurus,
    I am Certified in SAP-ABAP Workbench 2 years back.
    I have been working in ABAP for more than 3 years in HR and FICO...
    I have learnt BI/BW 3.5 and XI.
    Now I am thinking that it is a time for other certification and move ahead in career...
    So I am worried whether to switch to BI or XI..
    Or Go Ahead in the Functional side...
    Which side we have we have good oppurtunities...
    How about SAP-CRM,SCM etc..
    Suggest me a best thing and I would strongly focus on that...
    And I will be thankful if you provide me some links or place where we can get HR Functional stuff...

    HI Kumar,
    You are already in golden container and i dont no y r u searching for other ones .....
    abap-hr is the most demanded one now a days. you have experience in that. have you done cerrtification in it?if not do it.
    still you want to migrate ......or learn bi and xi both are best in that i can tell you to choose for BI.
    my best suggestion is to dont get migrate from present context. learn things. if you feel the move is important, then give a go.
    all the best
    happy learning,
    thanks
    karthik.

  • HT5498 Is this information still valid after one and a half years? Are the lightning-to-HDMI or lightning-to-VGA cables the only available options to send video to a TV set?

    There is a relative using an iPhone 5s and is interested in streaming video from her iPhone to an old TV set; unfortunately the TV set does not have either HDMI or VGA connectors; therefore we figured out getting a "lightning-to-30 Pin adapter", plug it to the iPhone 5s and use an old "Composite AV Cable" to do the trick. However, I found this post informing video streaming is not possible through the "lightning-to-30 Pin adapter", but -considering its post date- I would like to know if that info is still valid or if something has changed since then. Obviously changing the TV set is not an option, we have a limited "budget" to solve this.

    Thanks for the feedback Rudegar. We're not planning using airplay mirroring using AppleTV, but directly as it used to work with old iPhone 4S. Just attaching the composite video cable (30pin-to-Composite) to the iPhone 4 worked on almost any TV set equipped with composite jacks. Maybe I have to rewrite the question to "...available wired options to send video to a TV set?"

  • Dead hard drive after one 1/2 years

    My ibook G4 stopped reading discs about 4 months ago, when the computer was about 9 months old. I was unable to bring in for help until recently, thinking it was not a huge deal. Now the computer at 1 1/2 years old, has a dead hard drive. Because I couldn't back up, I have to get data retrieval and a new hard drive. Because the lame warranty is up, I have to pay $600 dollars to essentially fix a brand new computer. Upset is not the word. It seems quite neglible that a company can make a $2000 item that starts dying essentially after 6 months of use.
    The computer was used to write papers and do bookkeeping, this was not an abusive over use.
    Any opinions out there? Is this "normal?"
    I couldn't bring the computer in, due to a loss in my family, and school, etc...had I known it was much more than a virus, surely I would have! The lesson of a back up is also lost...because I was unable to back up, that is why I brought the computer in.....the day before I went for maintanence, ironically the computer wouldn't start.....

    I am sorry to hear that you've had such a bad experience. We all have life situations that make it difficult for us to make things happen sometimes. It's all about your priorities. Obviously the problems on your computer were not important enough at the time to pay attention to. AppleCare was available to you within your first year which would have extended your warranty.
    All electronic products generally come with a one year warranty. If your TV goes buggy within it's first year you would probably bring it in for repair. Afterwards it's your responsibility to repair or replace.
    Again sorry to hear you've had such a bad experience but I don't know that their's much you can do aside from making sure you let Apple know. It seems to be a common occurance on these boards and if there is a growing trend to failing HD maybe Apple will do something.

  • Hey! Please help me... When i tried to turn on my Ipad 2, it's just freeze at the Apple Logo. Please help me. I have spend 1 and half year to buy this and now :((((((((((((

    It's just freeze........................

    I have had my IPad 2 weeks. I plugged it in to charge it and it went off and wouldn't come back on. I tried holding down the sleep and home buttons at the same time and after a minute, I got a picture of the the cord with an arrow above it pointing to the itunes logo. I logged on to itunes and plugged the IPad into my computer. ITunes said it was going to reload the software but it couldn't I tried four times and it failed each time. I called Apple and after 45 minutes, the gave me a return number to send it back UPS. I thought Apple made better products tyhan this. If I had known what I know now I wouldn't have bought it. If I could get my money back, I would. (No returns after being opened!!!!!!!!!!!) I won't be buying anything else from Apple!

  • Nano replacement: status is still "Empty box shipped" after 1 and half month

    Hi All,
    I know there might be hundreds of similar discussions in here, but am really starting to worry...
    Sent my Ipod Nano back to Apple in the UK and got Royal mail confirmation that my ipod was received on the 30th ( Your item with reference XXXXX was delivered from our LUTTERWORTH Delivery Office on 30/11/11 .  Thank you for using this service.  We can confirm that this item was delivered before the guaranteed time.  You can now see the electronic Proof of Delivery for this item by clicking the button below.)
    However, my repair status still says "Empty box shipped" since then!
    I totally understand Apple must have received hundreds of these and that it may take time for them to update the repair status, but isn't there a way for me to get confirmation my ipod is actually in their hands?
    Anyone else in the same situation?
    Thanks

    This is normal. My ipod was delivered to apple in December, and I just got notified that they received it. I'm just waiting for them to sent me a replacement.
