Career guidance...Pls advise

Hi Abap gurus...
This is Manoj from Hyderabad, working as a SE in a MNC..I am currently having 2.5 yrs of exp in Mainframes(COBOL,JCL,IMS,DB2 etc..).
I am planning to switch to SAP ABAP as there are very few oppurtunities in Mainframes. Also,SAP is very demanding in the current IT market scenario and pay is lucrative. Would it be a wise decision to switch technology at this point of time in my career after 2.5 yrs exp in MF??? Please advise...
After learning Abap and having no real time exp in it, how difficult wud be to get a good job??
Any suggestion wud be appreciated....Thanks in advance..

Hi,
If you know COBOL and SQL, you will have familiarity with ABAP...
Depend of the place that you are...
In Brazil, if you do not have experience with ABAP, is not so lucrative and easy to get a job... And normally, ABAPer receives (payment) less than a functional consultant... =/
Good Lucky!

    Hi SAP Seniors/Experts,
    This has reference to SAP Career Guidance.
    Let me brief you, I m student of Victoria University and pursuing Master of Business in ERP at Singapore. In this course they are covering 7 modules of SAP which would be overall view of SAP system.
    I found that each module demands in depth research wherein the university is going to provide general views on each module.
    I would like to have your advice on SAP career journey. I do understood that i need to gain mastery in any one module to start employment with any organization. As such you seniors have vast experience in SAP, would you pl. advise me which module should pick up to gain in-depth knowledge looking towards to future demand. I m likely to finish Master of Business in ERP by Jan 2009.
    Seeking your guidance.
    Sincerely,

    Dear Devang Nandha,
    A very relevant question.
    I feel that you should gain good knowledge in one of the modules. Please do not select the module based on the popularity. Select the module based on your work expereince and your interest. Trust me there is enough in any module to learn and to contribute.
    Devang, you are in a very good position as you have the choice of selecting the module. Make the most of this opportunity. For any specific query, please let me know.
    Welcome to SAP world and best of luck for your future endeavors.
    Regards,

    sounds like you broke the display when you dropped it.  There's nothing we users here can do for you.
    Since the iPhone warranty does not cover accidental damage, you will have to pay to have your phone repaired or replaced.  You can bring it into Apple for an out of warranty exchange in the country of purchase, or you can find a 3rd party iPhone repair store in your area.

  • Career Guidance

    Hi! Pl give me career guidance as a Oracle Professional. I have following details:
    1. OCP (developer track) in 2002.
    2. MCA (persuing)
    3. Maintaining/Developing Oracle based ERP (Oracle9i,Forms/Reports 6i).
    4. Total Exp in Forms/Repots is 08 years.
    I m confused to join the latest Oracle Products.
    Now a days, Oralce has many latest products. So pl guide/advice me best Oracle Product to
    suit my experience.
    Oracle E-Business Suite ? Oracle Financials ? Oracle Apps ? Oracle 11g Form/Report ? Oralce 11g Java Developer ? Oracle 11g Java with ADF ? ....etc.
    Thanks & Regards.
    Sukhvinder Singh

    Hi,
    It's depends with your final goal.
    01. If you want to be a good programmer then you might need to think about moving in to Java with Oracle (Ex: ADF Faces). Here its good to move from Oracle Forms and Reports because most of the companies start migrating their Forms/Reports applications into different technologies. Mainly to Java. Even Oracle Corporation itself provide more guidance for this.
    02. Oracle E-Business Suite is one of the best ERP application. But again this application has many modules. So if you wnat to be a application specialist then you have to deside some area (Ex: HR, GL) and then expert on this. Because application specialist need to have in-depth knowledge in some area.
    03. Oracle E-Business Suite has another area for those who build new reports, integrate with other applications. For this area you don't need in-depth knowledge. (But you need to have some knowledge in those modules). But here you need to have very good PL/SQL and Report Experience. Because you have experience in Reports and PL/SQL , you need to get some knowledge in E-Business Suite and other integration techniques. (This area is always depends with the current trend. So you need to do more research on it and find whether your living area has any demand for e-Business Suite)
    04. Oracle Warehouse Builder is another good area. Because these days almost all the companies start using historical details and most of the companies understand the important to have a data warehouse application. So its a good thing to get to know warehouse builder and related ETL technologies as well.
    I just gave MY OWN IDEA with my experience. Someone else can have other ideas (sometimes against the things I mentioned here.). So all comments are welcome!!
    Thanks,

  • Pls advise how can I remove the 'Loading' icon.

    I have purchased a app called Kids Song All - 220 and I have downloaded it in itune as it has exceeded 20MB. But currently my iphone been showing "Loading'. Pls advise how can I remove the icon.

    @cor-el: Thank you for your help. Got the issue fixed.
    For those who are interested in a quick fix for this, go under (user profile depending on what OS you are using)\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\chrome , create a css file named userChrome.css (you have an example there... ) and paste in this code :
    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
    #statusbar-display { display: none !important; }
    Not sure if it's really correct, but it removed that annoying Status-bar, so I'm satisfied with it.

    Hi All,
    Pls advise any report to retrieved the list of  STR/ PR  cancellation via User ID.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Since the cancellation data of all STRs and PRs is kept in Change document.  Therefore, you should run Transaction S_ALR_87101238 with object class BANF and at the report output, set the filter on the Field name ''LOEKZ''.

  • Pls advise current info as to combining 3 iMovie projects into one iMovie. Thanks!

    Pls advise current info as to combining 3 imovie projects into one imovie.  I will finish with idvd.
    I am in a rush today to complete a video for my brother's memorial for tomorrow.  Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply, Klaus. I'm just now getting to try your suggestion to copy and paste from timeline rather than drag and drop from clipviewer. Alas, it seems to be choking terribly on the transfer. This video is not a 60 minute movie, either; it's about ten minutes. I has about 60 files to it. I did get to the point where I felt confident enough to empty the trash and save the project, so I assume the clips that are there are not still "attached" to the unedited dvs.
    Earlier I tried to export, in the advanced settings, to the full quality dv, but the quality really dropped, way too much for the intended use. I'm pretty much stumped at this point, unless I can hear some other suggestions.
    What I might try doing is simply dragging and dropping all the packet contents of the media folder into the other movie's media folder, but then I suspect I'll have to rebuild the darn thing from bits and pieces and it may be like putting Humpty Dumpty back together again...ugh.
    I'm sure I'm not the first person to face this challenge, am I? Of course, my lesson learned is to build one dvd's contents in one imovie project. If it weren't for the fact that I need to offer viewers the option to "play movie" (play all the videos as one movie) I'd simply drag each movie into iDVD and do it that way (the dvd showing each video separately).
    Would still love to hear of other possible solutions here, before trying some other forum.
    thanks!

  • IPhone 3GS iOS 6.1.3 -  camera doesn't work. Shutter won't open & camera button becomes disabled. Pls advise what to do? I have already tried resetting the phone several times.

    iPhone 3GS iOS 6.1.3 -  camera doesn't work. Shutter won't open & camera button becomes disabled. Pls advise what to do? I have already tried resetting the phone several times.

    Hello Kunmon,
    The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

    Thank you, best regards

    Several users are reporting a server problem with Software Update. Why not wait and try again later today or tomorrow to see if the problem is resolved.
    If the problem is on your computer then give this a try:
    Fix for Software Update
    See Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X.
    Delete the following files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxx.plist where "xxx" is a number.
    /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ (delete entire folder)

    my iTunes Match can not pass the step 2, it keeps repeat again and again. Pls advise. Thank you.

    Very strange.  Two items to try:
    a.  Enable iCloud Status and iCloud Download fields in Song view, sort on status and look for any 'waiting' or 'error';
    b.  If (a) looks good, establish a new user account, create an empty library and enable iTunes Match, confirm that this provides access to all Songs and is working well.
    These are seeking to ensure both no bad Songs or local Library corruption - both are relatively quick.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
