Career option whether Abap or Basis

Hi ,
I am working in a renowned Organization,nad i was trained in Basis 6 months back.
I worked on a project in Sap _ basis and Security in 3 months and its been a complete year that i am learning Basis,Now i am getting a Project in which My skill would be ABAP.
Seeking suggestions my Tl says that Abap would be agreat future.
Coming to my interest i can work in both and it will take me a months time to get into Abap.
But thinking from the career prospective Abap will ruin my entire 1 year contributed to Basis.
Please suggest from Career Prospective what should i go for?
Should i raise a Concern that my entire one year knowlwdge of Basis would not stand anywhere if i switch to Abap.
Please suggest asap.

Hi,
You have worked on system admin side (Worked on Basis), and t the same you trained on "Security" also. i would like to suggest continue in this and touch the "breadth" of this model. If you are interested, concentrate on mostly "security",
net weavers and portals integrations like that.
Coming to "ABAP" which is is complete programming language, where you can tight your hands with only "Programs" (Perhaps, With different logic's). But i can say strongly, its very powerful language.
All the best.

SAP Netweaver XI / PI with ABAP or Basis?

I have good knowledge in SAP Netweaver XI abd PI several versions, now i would like to upgrade myself , which would be best option? ABAP or BASIS? , i dont have any idea about both, please guide me....which would be a better career for me to go with....
1.Worked on XI 3.0, PI 7.0, PI 7.01, PI 7.02, PI 7.1, PI 7.11,PI 7.3 SAP Netweaver versions
2.Experienced in configuring System landscape directory,Enterprise service repository,integration directory,runtime work bench, Netweaver Administrator,message monitoring, component monitoring.
3.Worked on SDM GUI, SAP GUI,Visual Administrator,Config tool,Deploy tool,JSPM and telnet
4.Good in channel ,agreements and determination creation and integrating components
5.Worked with various transport protocols like HTTP,TCP,FTP,MLLP,MQ series and File.
6.Work with different Adapters
7.Worked in different OS like windows,unix,linux,hp-unix,solaris.
Dont have knowledge in following
1.Mapping
2.ABAP
3.Basis

I would suggest to educate yourself with SAP BPM and BRM. These are one of the interesting areas in the integration related tasks of SAP and those will change the way how to work with SAP integrations in future. This is already reality with SAP PI 7.3 and 7.31. When you are familiar with BRM, BPM you can learn eSOA of SAP.
However if you must select either ABAP or Basis, It depends the solution where you want to focus. If you want to focus NetWeaver platform and specially solutions like SAP PI, MDM etc. then learn Basis. If you want to work with SAP ERP learn ABAP.

Is it good to choose BASIS as career option with my existing skills?

Hi Basis Masters,
I have a very good knowledge of ABAP as I experienced it for 1year and also I has certified in networking CCNA and trained in CCNP. i am very much interested in SAP BASIS. is it good to change from ABAP to BASIS?. Guide me in this, please.
Thank you.

if you have a phone connection the openreach do not move lines. ordering a new line will just get a new line fron the same pole.
it would get chaotic if everyone could choose which pole they wanted for their conenction. this has been asked on the forum before

Protect sensitive HR tables from ABAPer and BASIS

Hello
We are trying to work out some security authorizations where in we can protect HR master data through direct access to HR tables through SE16 or SM30 for info type tables like PA0008 or PA0015 etc. I know that these tables have authorization group 'PA' and we can build a role using S_TABU_DIS using this autho group but we have about 30 such infotypes to be protected. If we build a role with S_TABU_DIS and Auth group='PA' we will land up protecting all the Infotypes. Other problem is that if we create a new auth group 'ZPA' for these 30 infotype tables, thats too much customization as we might have problems during future upgrades.
My question to the forum members is - What solutions were explored or implemented for such situations?
Thanks
Snehal

Dear Snehal,
Maintain all such sensitive infotypes in a Z table. Implement a proper BAdi/Enhacement that will be called whenver user accesses the transactions that you want to restrict and validate against that Z table. If the entry exists in Z table raise an error message saying 'You are not authorized' else display.
You would need to bypass this validation for users other than ABAPer or BASIS. For that you may need to maintain proper naming convention or some logic.
Please check this sample program from other thread to find BADI and enhancement for a given transaction code. You just need to create a custom program in your system by cut and paste below codes.

Alternatively, you can do the following:
1. For what ever transaction u want the enhancement .. just check for the System-->status (menu) and find out the PROGRAM name....
2. Double click on to the program name and go inside the program (Abap editor)
3. Search for "Call Customer-function " ... and u'll get some search results .. If u get results then u have enhancement in that tcode .....
4. Then it actually calls a Function module .... copy the Function module name .... go to SE80 (object navigator) click on "Repository Information system" then Customer Enhancements .... Give the Function module name in the "Components" field and click Execute ....
ull get a list of Enhancements related to that Componene....
5. Choose which ever enhancement will suit ur business need ..
6. Go to CMOD... create a project .... assign ur enhancement ... and then code ur logic.... activate ur enhancement in CMOD ....... Ur Buisness need will be solved...
For a user exit......
Finding whether there is any User Exit or not for tcode VA42
1. For what ever transaction u want the user exit .. just check for the System-->status (menu) and find out the PROGRAM name.... ( The program name would be for our scenario "SAPMV45A" )
2. Double click on to the program name and go inside the program (Abap editor)
3. Search for the word "USEREXIT" .... u ll find all the user exits in the search result .. and find ur's then ...
Hope this will help.

Which one to chose between Netwevae XI and Portal as a career option.

Hi,
I have just taken up the training in NS XI and in a dilema to chose between XI & Portal as a career option.
I have sufficient amount of experience in ABAP and wish to proceed further in any of the two.
Can any one please advice which one would be better in terms of the long career goal especially considering the Intl Market.
Regards,
Deepak.

Hi Deepak,
It is better if u go for XI since you have ABAP knowledge. Go throught the following things.
Hi,
SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) enables you to implement cross-system processes. It enables you to connect systems from different vendors (non-SAP and SAP) in different versions and implemented in different programming languages (Java, ABAP, and so on) to each other. SAP Exchange Infrastructure is based on an open architecture, uses open standards (in particular those from the XML and Java environments) and offers those services that are essential in a heterogeneous and complex system landscape

Re : select-options in abap-objects program

Dear friends,
                  I want to give select-options in abap-objects program. How to give that.
                             Thanking You
with regards,
Mani

In the transaction SE24, enter your class name, click modify.
in the tab named "Types" you have to declare two types. By example, if you want to receive one select-options that in your program that uses this class is declared like:
" P_SAKNR FOR SKAT-SAKNR".
you've got to declare two types in the class:
a- TYPES: begin of E_S_SAKNR,
                      sign(1),
                      option(2),
                      low(10),
                      high(10),
                  end of E_S_SAKNR.
b - TYPES E_T_SAKNR type standard table of E_S_SAKNR.
so, in the class method that you want to receive P_SAKNR as importing parameter. You got to do this:
method TEST importing ET_SAKNR type E_T_SAKNR.
now, in the implementation of this method you should be able to use ET_SAKNR as the same way as you usually use a parameter or a select-option. You could use it in a select with the operator IN by example..

Dear friends,

HI Mani,
It's common mix ABAP Procedural with ABAP Objects in the same program.
You should use the same way used in ABAP procedural program as Marco Cerdelli sad.
But inside ABAP OBJECTS classes you can't use is these statement type.
Don't forget to close this thread and all yours previous when your question be answered ! In case of doubt read the [rules of engagement|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/].

Hello Ferdinandino
Useful function modules are:
RS_PRINT_SELECTIONS
RS_LIST_SELECTION_TABLE (Generates list according to values in selection table(RSPARAMS))
RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS (Current contents of selection screen)
Function module RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS can provide the input for function module RS_LIST_SELECTION_TABLE.

Are you speaking about the standrad SAP roles? If yes, you can have a look at BC and ABAP roles. However, if your question is about the created roles, you should see the convention that was followed in your organization to identify the roles.
