Certification ABAP

Hi, I've been studying the books:
TAW10 ->ABAP Workbench Fundamentals
and
TAW12-> ABAP Workbench Concepts (3 books).
In this book says: "Topics for the certification test using the contents of training course TAW12 my SAP Technology-ABAP Workbench Concepts".
I want to take the certification exam of ABAP. But now, i don't know which exam I should choose:
-Development Consultant mySAP Technology-ABAP Workbench (2003)
or
-SAP Consultant Certification Development Consultant SAP NetWeaver - ABAP Workbench (2003)
I checked the topics and they are similar. The books I read are: 2003/Q2, release 4.6D or above.
Can I take the first certification test?
Thanks.

I would say the first one, unless you want to go for.......

I have TAW10_1 - ABAP Workbench fundamentals part 1 with course version 2005/Q4 ; material number 50077028 and part 2 with material number 50077029

Else, is there any book in the market which covers these topics ?

XI content certification - ABAP proxies

Hi,
can we use ABAP proxies in XI content certification ?
I mean develop an ABAP proxy in IR that will be generated in ERP
and just supply the code for it ?
thank you,

michal

Hey Michal,
I'm not sure about XI content certification, but I've heard some rumors from some friends who tried to certificate an netweaver product (containin XI, Portal, BW and ABAP development) as an xApp, and they had problems with the ABAP codes. If I'm not mistaken, they had to change all ABAP interfaces for standard web services...

Need help in deciding the right SAP certification.

Hello Expert,
Need some help in deciding upon an SAP certification. I am 4+ years experienced in SAP ABAP. Is there any value add in doing ABAP certification or should i go ahead and do something on the lines of Netweaver, MDM or CRM ???
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards,
Josin George

Hi Josin
CRM surely has a good future so you could spend time and efforts in learning more into that on the job.
As for certification, I recommend that you work for more 2 years and go for the Professional certification (ABAP) rather than "Associate". It will be a value addition for sure.
Please search these forums and also take others' opinions relating to CRM / ABAP certifications.
Cheers!

Level of Competency in ABAP for Functional consultants.

Hi ,
i just wanted to have inputs based on your experience , that what level of competence should a functional consultant should have in ABAP .
Should it be knowing the database , debugging etc. or should it be a step forward starting coding in ABAP .
As i was going through the certification details of Financials , in Application professional certification ABAP programming was a part of the requirments for the same .
I being a part of the FICO / FICA / FM modules , just curious to know what the experts have to say on this .
Dear Mentors can you please throw some light on the same based on your experience .
Regards ,
Dewang T

Matt has already said much of what I was about to say, but to add a couple of other perspectives:
There's a bit of a paradox: A top notch functional consultant can get by without ABAP if s/he knows exactly what config is where and which fields influence what. They're very rare, but I've met people like that. (More prevalent in HR which is highly config-driven anyway and with a convoluted technical side). Problem is, to get to a high level of competency requires either a lot of talent, many years experience, or ... you guessed it... ability to read and debug ABAP.
The other angle to this is what level of functional consultant? There are no clear boundaries - on the technical side you get the 'techno-functional' people as they are known, all the way towards a Business Analyst who in some cases doesn't even have an SAP logon.
In some ways it depends on the way the company/project is managed and available skills:
If the company gets their ABAP resources as cheap as possible, or offshore, then your functionals definitely need a good level of ABAP skills. If they go for a 'less is more' approach and hires a few top notch developers, then not-so-technical functional people are fine. I've worked on both scenarios and my experience is that the second can produce better results. Why? A really good developer has a sixth sense to know ahead of time which requirements will change and build appropriately configurable solutions. In the first scenario however, basic ABAP skills of a functional consultant do not cover what is good technical application architecture, and likewise an entry-level programmer won't be experienced enough to really follow best practice and avoid all the pitfalls.
On the other hand, the combination of functionals with little ABAP knowledge and budget programmers is something that can get very expensive fixing the results.
If you are thinking about contracting/consulting and working at several clients, then having skills "on the other side" is what gives you the edge, irrespective of whether you are a functional consultant or an ABAP developer.

Webdynpro based business package

Hi,
is it possible to create a webdynpro based business package and get it certified by SAP?
I understand there is an ESS business package based on web dynpro. I also understand that a business package must be deliver as an epa file and that you can only par files(and portal roles, worksets..) in the epa file.
Please any feedback on this issue.
kind regards,
Peter Ha

Hi Peter,
Yes . you can make a buisness package based on webdynpro.
You can go for a Powered by Netweaver certification
If you are going for a buisness package certification you will have to follow the guidelines set by SAP
Go to this link
http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/services?rid=/webcontent/uuid/ab919ce1-0601-0010-4384-f25a892e0dea [original link is broken]
One thing to have in mind is that SAP recommends the usage of standard function modules provided
Custom modules can be developed only if it is absolutely necessary. If you are developing custom modules you will have to go for an ABAP Add on certification.It will be quite expensive too.
See this link for more details on ABAP certification
ABAP development for certification
You should first submit a project registration guide to the integration consultant assigned to you .You should also prepare full documentation of Portal and webdynpro components used . The naming conventions can be obtained from the Vendor Guide
You can also prepare documentation as to how to deploy the ear files of webdynpro applications through visual admin.
Transport the portal structure as a package and you can import it wherever necessary.
Hope this helps you

Rohit

Expert's guidance is needed in deciding the SAP module

Hello All,
This is my first post and happy to announce that have decided to make a careen in the field of SAP. From the experts m hoping to help me in deciding the right module for me.
I have studied and have almost 4 yrs of experience in the field of HR in the manufacturing companies in India. I haven't practiced anything since 2 yrs. Now again wanna get a hold on the career and have decided to settling in the field of SAP in USA. Have done a bit of research and feels like the market for SAP HR/ SAP HCM seem bit of saturated. I am open to change the module as have bit of interest in SAP PP/MM and Master data as well. Though m open to change the module but would prefer to get into the module where in I can use my HR experience.
It would be great if you all experts can get me some guidance to help me decide the module which has a good job opportunity and the growth. I would highly appreciate your help.
Thanks,
CM

Advanced certification in ABAP

Hi All
I am a ABAP programmer with 3 yrs of ABAP experience and currently working on EDI / IDOC technologies. I wanted to go for ABAP certification but I was advised by many not to do it as exam has got very simple ABAP questions, mainly on Basic ABAP
I just wanted to know how true it is and is there any other certification for Advanced ABAPPERS ? ( Like Sun has for Java ).
Are there any certification exams for ALE Idoc , BW programming.
Amol

Hi Amol,
Your question amused me. I am also a certified ABAPer, having a rootless existance in SAP. I was working on Web technologies till last Aug and got Certified then and have been an ABAPer ever since. Unfortunately, there is no advanced certification program for ABAP but a certified ABAPer is always considered to have it all.
You are right about the exam questions. It is all basic ABAP, but you see, high rises stand on great foundations. To learn advanced topics, may be you should approach SAPLABS at b'lore as you have over 3 yes of exp and that too on hot technologies like EDI/IDOC.
I would suggest anyone to go for the certification, not to get their 2-3 lakhs spent, but for the face that you will be globally accessible being a certified ABAPer and will have great demand abroad and in India.
Good luck.
If you think this helped you, please reward me

ABAP Certification questions

Hi,
2 questions on ABAP certification:
1) Are there any courses that are MANDATORY prior to taking the certification exam? In other words, could I take the exam without having taken any formal courses if I should choose to do so?
2) What is the cost in USD to take the exam?
Thanks for your help!
Andy

Hi Andrew,
This question should be rather posted at [SAP Certified Professionals|SAP Certification;, but I htink moderators will move that for you.
As for the questions:
1) There is no mandatory course, only recommended ones. If you feel strong enough with basics you don't need to take any of these. What SAP suggests is to accomplish TAW10, TAW11, TAW12 courses (depending on cert.exam you want to take). Either ABAP Developer for SAP Netweaver 2004 or latest one ABAP Developer for SAP Netweaver 7.0. Both are mostly covered in mentioned courses. Second one just requires some WEB dynpro knowledge and Unicode. You don't have to attend any of them, just look for the meterials and get prepared with them. TAW10 and TAW12 can be easily found in net, TAW11 is hard to get, but still you can learn from other SAP materials covering same topics.
2) I don't know the cost in US, in Poland it cost me around $650 for Associate exam.
Check directly on http://www.sap.com/usa/services/education/certification/index.epx for pricing and further details.
Good luck!

Marcin
