Certification Required for India

Hi All,
Is the certification required for consultant level positions in India.
Regards,
M

Hi Manisha,
Certification is not necessary for consultant positions in India, but if you are certified then this will be an added advantage for you.
Companies doesnot look for certified people only, the first criteria for consultant is how good domain knowledge do you have? Do you have experience in that field or not, if yes then how good you have worked in earlier project. When you have certification then its an added advantage for you than the others who are appearing for the position for interview.
In short certification is not must, but having is always an extra edge over others.

  • Certification required for HANA SPS Upgrades?

    Hi
    I was just asked by the Hardware vendor what type of certification we need, to perform the HANA Support Pack Upgrade to stay in compliance for warranty.
    Am I correct in assuming thatthe HA200 - HANA Installation and Operations certification is what they're speaking about or is there something else required?
    Ken

    Hi Ken,
    To be honest, I never thought about certification requirement for HANA updates. I'd be surprised that you need certification for that.
    Maybe Hay Bouten will be able to answer that.
    In the event that you are interested in certification for HANA administration then one of the following is the one you would want to start with.

  • Windows App Certification Toolkit fails on Certification requirements for Windows desktop apps Point 5.5

    Using the latest Version 3.4 of Windows App Certification Toolkit to check Windows 8.1 compatibility our Installer was not approved on:
    Certification requirements for Windows desktop apps
    5.5 Your app installer must create the correct registry entries to allow successful detection and uninstalls
    But all necessary settings are done and after the installation of our application we will find all settings in the registry.
    We use an MSI Installer embedded in a bootstrapper exe. The MSI Installer is made with the WiX Toolset V3.6.
    The same Application Installer got approved on November, 2014.
    We checked this issue against the latest version of MSThreatModelingToolkit installer which also was made with WiX toolset and it fails, too.
    So is there a higher restriction or do we miss anything?

    Hi Wibudev,
    I would suggest you to double check if you have miss something in registry, per documentation mentioned, the installation module must create the following registry entries during installation:
    DisplayName
    InstallLocation
    Publisher
    UninstallString
    VersionMajor or MajorVersion
    VersionMinor or MinorVersion
    WACK 3.4 is the latest version, I don't think there would be any higher restriction but I will recommend you to test with another computer to see if the validate fails again. Sometimes the issue could be on the PC environment.

  • Certification requirement for Collaboration Architecture

    Hi All,
    Our company wants to get Cisco Collaboration Architecture Specialization for which there is requirement of Exam Implementing Cisco Unity Connection (642-263). I have previously done Implementing Cisco Unity Connection (642-262). Would this be valid for achieving the specialization or I need to re-exam 642-263?
    Regards,

    Create a custom global condition called "OS Architecture x64" and use it as an existential rule.  You are either x64 or are not x64 (implying x86... you'll be on the next version of ConfigMgr when 128-bit Windows comes out...).
    For the rule, use a WQL query to look at the architecture of the OS.
    Win32_OperatingSystem
    OSArchitecture = '64-bit'
    I hope that helps!

  • Hardware Requirements for Android Adobe Air Installation or certification requirement?

    Hi, Friends,
    I am newbie on Adobe Air and tried to install Air apk on my android ICS device from Google Play.
    However, it complains that the device is not compatible with the software package.
    I wonder if there are any hardware requirements or certification requirement for new android phone device on the market.
    Regards
    -Charles

    Well, my theory is it only works on 4g phones, at least with Metro PCS phones!
    Using the following 3g phones, I got "device is not compatible"
    - Hawai ascend  OS  (3g)  ~incompatible
    - HTC (3g) ~incompatible
    - Samsung Admire (3g) ~incompatible
    But after buying my $300+ 4g LG phone, also from Metro PCS, the Adobe AIR installed sucessfully.
    Also, I as fyi, noticed that Adobe Air app did not show up in the Google play list on the 3g phones.
    I hope this info helps.

  • Anyone know of "Address Layout Key" for India?

    I am currently using 001 in the country code settings (transaction OY01), but I am concerned that this is not technically correct. My key user in the country appears to be indicating that there is a dash between the city and postal code for address data in India. I have been reviewing note 117557 amongst others, but nothing clearly stands out for India.
    Anyone have any insights into this further?
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Michael,
    The system I am on is SAP_APPL, SAPKH47022. I checked in the configuration and key 010 points to "Postal code before city without country code". This would not meet the address requirements for India. The closest one that I seem to have available in configuration is 008 "Singapore (postal code after city)". This seems to get things aligned as per my business user's request and what I can see on the India Post website. Again, I appreciate any help or insight you can provide.
    BR, Jay

  • Hands on requirement for java certification

    which java certifications do exactly have an hands on requirement?
    because if i look here
    http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=320
    it says i just need to take the exam to become certified. other certifications have assignments and more exam but nowhere is an hands-on requirement listed (that i could find)
    however if i look here http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D61748GC10
    it says "This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Java SE 6 Developer Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement."
    So my question is where exactly can i find which certification has which hands-on requirement. i wouldn't want to start on the self-study (or a non-official course) just to find out that i need the real course to get my certification.
    Edited by: 881933 on Aug 27, 2011 8:23 PM

    Without looking at specifics .... i am not massively up to speed with the Java certifictions, one key point is the the hands on requirement is about to change.

  • What level of certification is required for ECC 6 upgrades?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm already a ceritifed SAP technology consultant (up to NW2004), however need to update my certification for ECC 6 (netweaver 7).
    What is the appropriate exam to sit (eg associate or professional) to be allowed to perform productive SAP ECC 6 upgrades?
    Thanks
    Shaun

    Hi everyone,
    Major update on the "do you need to be certified" topic ...
    I finally got a reply from SAP Education regarding two queries I had regarding what level of certification was required as a basis "guy" to perform production SAP installations and upgrades.
    SAP Education wrote:
    You don't need to be certified to do installations. In reality, customers will have much more comfort having an install done by someone who is certified rather than someone who isnu2019t, but ultimately itu2019s the customeru2019s call.
    I then asked if this was applicable for SAP upgrades also ...
    SAP Education wrote:
    Hi Shaun,
    Indeed it is.
    Best of luck!
    I then went on to clarify that their is no support implications for customers who don't you certified Basis personel to perform their upgrades/installs:
    Shaun wrote:
    So your saying that although itu2019s preferable to be certified ... you donu2019t have to be, and there is no impact to the support provided by SAP?
    SAP Education wrote:
    Ultimately, SAP cannot mandate for individuals (excluding those employed by SAP) or SAP Partners to be certified to work on projects. However, customers and partners will employ the consultants to work on the projects, from what we have seen recently customers and partners are now asking for SAP certified consultants to work on implementation and upgrade projects.
    Thus we suggest to have an advantage to be employed on future SAP projects that you are certified in the solution you will be working on, or upgrading to.
    Example: If you are looking to work on an upgrade from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0 the customer would look for certified consultants in CRM 7.0
    So it is solely up to you if you wish to certify yourself in the latest release of the solution you are working in.
    I then rang SAP education and had a very pleasant discussion with one of the ladies there.  She went on to explain that the requirement for certification really became an optional thing a few years back.  SAP was no longer in a position not to support customers regardless of who they use to perform their upgrades/installs since a customer continues to pay their yearly maintenance costs - thus SAP is obligated to provide support.

  • List of Manual Setup required for iSetup to work

    Hi All,
    This is Mugunthan from iSetup development. Based on my interaction with customers and Oracle functional experts, I had documented list of manual setups that are required for smooth loading of selection sets. I am sharing the same. Please let me know if I anyone had to enter some manual setup while using iSetup.
    Understanding iSetup
    iSetup is a tool to migrate and report on your configuration data. Various engineering teams from Oracle develop the APIs/Programs, which migrates the data across EBS instances. Hence all your data is validated for all business cases and data consistency is guarantied. It requires good amount of setup functional knowledge and bit of technical knowledge to use this tool.
    Prerequisite setup for Instance Mapping to work
    ·     ATG patch set level should be same across all EBS instances.
    ·     Copy DBC files of each other EBS instances participating in migration under $FND_SECURE directory (refer note below for details).
    ·     Edit sqlnet.ora to allow connection between DB instacnes(tcp.invited_nodes=(<source>,<central>))
    ·     Make sure that same user name with iSetup responsibility exists in all EBS instances participating in migration.
    Note:- iSetup tool is capable of connecting to multiple EBS instances. To do so, it uses dbc file information available under $FND_SECURE directory. Let us consider three instances A, B & C, where A is central instance, B is source instance and C is target instances. After copying the dbc file on all nodes, $FND_SECURE directory would look like this on each machine.
    A => A.dbc, B.dbc, C.dbc
    B => A.dbc, B.dbc
    C => A.dbc, C.dbc
    Prerequisite for registering Interface and creating Custom Selection Set
    iSetup super role is mandatory to register and create custom selection set. It is not sufficient if you register API on central/source instance alone. You must register the API on all instances participating in migration/reporting.
    Understanding how to access/share extracts across instances
    Sharing iSetup artifacts
    ·     Only the exact same user can access extracts, transforms, or reports across different instances.
    ·     The “Download” capability offers a way to share extracts, transforms, and loads.
    Implications for Extract/Load Management
    ·     Option 1: Same owner across all instances
    ·     Option 2: Same owner in Dev, Test, UAT, etc – but not Production
    o     Extract/Load operations in non-Production instances
    o     Once thoroughly tested and ready to load into Production, download to desktop and upload into Production
    ·     Option 3: Download and upload into each instance
    Security Considerations
    ·     iSetup does not use SSH to connect between instances. It uses Concurrent Manager framework to lunch concurrent programs on source and target instances.
    ·     iSetup does not write password to any files or tables.
    ·     It uses JDBC connectivity obtained through standard AOL security layer
    Common Incorrect Setups
    ·     Failure to complete/verify all of the steps in “Mapping instances”
    ·     DBC file should be copied again if EBS instance has been refreshed or autoconfig is run.
    ·     Custom interfaces should be registered in all EBS instances. Registering it on Central/Source is not sufficient.
    ·     Standard Concurrent Manager should up for picking up iSetup concurrent requests.
    ·     iSetup financial and SCM modules are supported from 12.0.4 onwards.
    ·     iSetup is not certified on RAC. However, you may still work with iSetup if you could copy the DBC file on all nodes with the same name as it had been registered through Instance Mapping screen.
    Installed Languages
    iSetup has limitations where it cannot Load or Report if the number and type of installed languages and DB Charset are different between Central, Source and Target instances. If your case is so, there is a workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Edit AZ_Prevalidator_1.xml to match your target instance language and DB Charset. Zip it back and upload to iSetup repository. Now, you would be able to load to target instance. You must ensure that this would not corrupt data in DB. This is considered as customization and any data issue coming out this modification is not supported.
    Custom Applications
    Application data is the prerequisite for the most of the Application Object Library setups such as Menus, Responsibility, and Concurrent programs. iSetup does not migrate Custom Applications as of now. So, if you have created any custom application on source instance, please manually create them on the target instance before moving Application Object Library (AOL) data.
    General Foundation Selection Set
    Setup objects in General foundation selection set supports filtering i.e. ability to extract specific setups. Since most of the AOL setup data such as Menus, Responsibilities and Request Groups are shipped by Oracle itself, it does not make sense to migrate all of them to target instance since they would be available on target instance. Hence, it is strongly recommended to extract only those setup objects, which are edited/added, by you to target instance. This improves the performance. iSetup uses FNDLOAD (seed data loader) to migrate most of the AOL Setups. The default behavior of FNDLOAD is given below.
    Case 1 – Shipped by Oracle (Seed Data)
    FNDLOAD checks last_update_date and last_updated_by columns to update a record. If it is shipped by Oracle, the default owner of the record would be Oracle and it would skip these records, which are identical. So, it won’t change last_update_by or last_updated_date columns.
    Case 2 – Shipped by Oracle and customized by you
    If a record were customized in source instance, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
    Case 3 – Created and maintained by customers
    If a record were newly added/edited in source instance by you, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date of the record in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
    Profiles
    HR: Business Group => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
    HR: Security Profile => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
    MO: Operating Unit => Set the Operating Unit name for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Operating Unit onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set if required.
    Navigation path to do the above setup:
    System Administrator -> Profile -> System.
    Query for the above profiles and set the values accordingly.
    Descriptive & Key Flex Fields
    You must compile and freeze the flex field values before extracting using iSetup.
    Otherwise, it would result in partial migration of data. Please verify that all the data been extracted by reporting on your extract before loading to ensure data consistency.
    You can load the KFF/DFF data to target instance even the structures in both source as well as target instances are different only in the below cases.
    Case 1:
    Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
    Target=> Loc1, Loc2, Loc3 (Mandate), Loc4, Loc5 and Loc6
    If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, Loc4, then locations will be loaded to target instance without any issue. If you do not provide value for Loc3, then API will fail, as Loc3 is a mandatory field.
    Case 2:
    Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
    Target=> Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2
    If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3 and Loc4 and load data to target instance, API will fail as Loc3 and Loc4 are not there in target instance.
    It is always recommended that KFF/DFF structure should be same for both source as well as target instances.
    Concurrent Programs and Request Groups
    Concurrent program API migrates the program definition(Definition + Parameters + Executable) only. It does not migrate physical executable files under APPL_TOP. Please use custom solution to migrate executable files. Load Concurrent Programs prior to loading Request Groups. Otherwise, associated concurrent program meta-data will not be moved even through the Request Group extract contains associated Concurrent Program definition.
    Locations - Geographies
    If you have any custom Geographies, iSetup does not have any API to migrate this setup. Enter them manually before loading Locations API.
    Currencies Types
    iSetup does not have API to migrate Currency types. Enter them manually on target instance after loading Currency API.
    GL Fiscal Super user--> setup--> Currencies --> rates -- > types
    Associating an Employee details to an User
    The extract process does not capture employee details associated with users. So, after loading the employee data successfully on the target instance, you have to configure them again on target instance.
    Accounting Setup
    Make sure that all Accounting Setups that you wish to migrate are in status “Complete”. In progress or not-completed Accounting Setups would not be migrated successfully.
    Note: Currently iSetup does not migrate Sub-Ledger Accounting methods (SLA). Oracle supports some default SLA methods such as Standard Accrual and Standard Cash. You may make use of these two. If you want to use your own SLA method then you need to manually create it on target instances because iSetup does not have API to migrate SLA. If a Primary Ledger associated with Secondary Ledgers using different Chart of Accounts, then mapping rules should be defined in the target instance manually. Mapping rule name should match with XML tag “SlCoaMappingName”. After that you would be able to load Accounting Setup to target instance.
    Organization API - Product Foundation Selection Set
    All Organizations which are defined in HR module will be extracted by this API. This API will not extract Inventory Organization, Business Group. To migrate Inventory Organization, you have to use Inventory Organization API under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. To extract Business Group, you should use Business Group API.
    Inventory Organization API - Discrete Mfg & Distribution Selection Set
    Inventory Organization API will extract Inventory Organization information only. You should use Inventory Parameters API to move parameters such as Accounting Information. Inventory Organization API Supports Update which means that you can update existing header level attributes of Inventory Organization on the target instance. Inventory Parameters API does not support update. To update Inventory Parameters, use Inventory Parameters Update API.
    We have a known issue where Inventory Organization API migrates non process enabled organization only. If your inventory organization is process enabled, then you can migrate them by a simple workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Navigate to Organization XML and edit the XML tag <ProcessEnabledFlag>Y</ProcessEnabledFlag> to <ProcessEnabledFlag>N</ProcessEnabledFlag>. Zip it back the extract and upload to target instance. You can load the extract now. After successful completion of load, you can manually enable the flag through Form UI. We are working on this issue and update you once patch is released to metalink.
    Freight Carriers API - Product Foundation Selection Set
    Freight Carriers API in Product Foundation selection set requires Inventory Organization and Organization Parameters as prerequisite setup. These two APIs are available under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. Also,Freight Carriers API is available under Discrete Mfg and Distribution Selection Set with name Carriers, Methods, Carrier-ModeServ,Carrier-Org. So, use Discrete Mfg selection set to load Freight Carriers. In next rollup release Freight Carriers API would be removed from Product Foundation Selection Set.
    Organization Structure Selection Set
    It is highly recommended to set filter and extract and load data related to one Business Group at a time. For example, setup objects such as Locations, Legal Entities,Operating Units,Organizations and Organization Structure Versions support filter by Business Group. So, set the filter for a specific Business Group and then extract and load the data to target instance.
    List of mandatory iSetup Fwk patches*
    8352532:R12.AZ.A - 1OFF:12.0.6: Ignore invalid Java identifier or Unicode identifier characters from the extracted data
    8424285:R12.AZ.A - 1OFF:12.0.6:Framework Support to validate records from details to master during load

    Appendix_
    How to read logs
    ·     Logs are very important to diagnose and troubleshoot iSetup issues. Logs contain both functional and technical errors.
    ·     To find the log, navigate to View Detail screens of Extracts/ Transforms/Loads/Standard/Comparison Reports and click on View Log button to view the log.
    ·     Generic Loader (FNDLOAD or Seed data loader) logs are not printed as a part of main log. To view actual log, you have to take the request_id specified in the concurrent log and search for the same in Forms Request Search Window in the instance where the request was launched.
    ·     Functional errors are mainly due to
    o     Missing prerequisite data – You did not load one more perquisite API before loading the current API. Example, trying to load “Accounting Setup” without loading “Chart of Accounts” would result in this kind of error.
    o     Business validation failure – Setup is incorrect as per business rule. Example, Start data cannot be greater than end date.
    o     API does not support Update Records – If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If the API does not support update, then you would get this kind of errors.
    o     You unselected Update Records while launching load - If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If you do not select Update Records, then you would get this kind of errors.
    Example – business validation failure
    o     VONAME = Branches PLSQL; KEY = BANKNAME = 'AIBC‘
    o     BRANCHNAME = 'AIBC'
    o     EXCEPTION = Please provide a unique combination of bank number, bank branch number, and country combination. The 020, 26042, KA combination already exists.
    Example – business validation failure
    o     Tokens: VONAME = Banks PLSQL
    o     BANKNAME = 'OLD_ROYAL BANK OF MY INDIA'

    o     ; EXCEPTION = Message not found. Application: PER, Message Name: HR_ORG_SOB_NOT_FOUND (Set of books not found for ‘Setup Business Group’)
    Example – technical or fwk error
    o     OAException: System Error: Procedure at Step 40
    o     Cause: The procedure has created an error at Step 40.

  • Questions on setting up PeopleSoft FIN AP Business Unit for India with TDS

    Hi,
    Does anyone here have some advice for me on how to handle AP transactions for a business unit set up for India with TDS (withholding) and statutory reporting.
    We are configuring AP BU for India in our existing database which has other BUs for other countries not using withholding. For India the way we understood on statutory is that all invoices must be recognised for withholding at the time of invoice entry or payment which ever ealiest. For PeopleSoft we always have to create voucher before we can make mayment so the earliest occurace will be at voucher entry that withholding should be deducted (at voucher post).
    The problem that we are encountering is that if we have prepayment invoice, we can use prepaid voucher to record this. However, when we receive the final invouce and entered into PeopleSoft the voucher post reversed the original withholding lines and recreate in the final invoice with final invoice amount. This could be in different period. As for the India rule the way we understood this is that the entries that created at prepaid should not be reversed, also those withholding might already be paid to the goverment in prior period before receiving the final invoice. The final invoice should have withholding calculate just for the difference of the invoice balance.
    Our other problem is on the statutory reporting that all transactions should be recorded in that particular period. Our current setup has AP close period at the end of each month which means we cannot enter invoices raised in previous period or have adjustments put in the period that already closed.
    Any help and advice on how companies that has India AP business unit deal with the above mentioned issues are much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Thanks Marc Sachdeva.
    I don't mean where to set up withholding. I have alredy configured all withholding details and everything works fine in AP.
    However, as India statutory comes in, I'd like to know how other companies handle cases like accounting entries for transactions in specific period if your system has AP/GL closed periods. Normal cases would be put entries in the next accounting period. But as my understanding on the Indian rules is that withholding must be recorded at the time of entering the invoice. So how should adjustment be made.
    Another thing is the prepayment invoices, using PeopleSoft Prepaid voucher would cause the accounting entries for withholding lines to be reversed and then re-recorded when posting the final invoice (that matches with the prepaid). I would like to know how companies are dealing with such case as the TDS lines could be revsersed and recalculate in different accounting period. Also if the period that it revsered the TDS % could have changed and when the reverse happens it will recalculate withholding based on the new rate for the whole of invoice amt.
    For example an invoice of 10000 INR, 50% is to be recorded and paid in advance so raise the invoice of 5000 INR in Feb. TDS is 10%.
    - So vendor will be paid 4500 and 500 is for withholding.
    - In April then receive final invoice of 10000 INR, record into PS as 10000 but matched to prepaid so the remaining invoice is 5000. withholding rate in Apr is now 15% so 15% should be applied to the remaining invoice of 5000 INR. As the prepaid voucher option reversed withholding lines and recalculate with final invoice total so the withholding to be deducted is calculated at 15% = 1500 (10000 * 15%).
    - As the prepaid invoice withholding might have already been paid in March before the rate changed, the final invoice should have withholding of 750.
    I'm not sure if my understanding of recording withholding for India is correct and whether it really needs to be recorded in the month that invoice is raised. As the way I understood and have been told it has to be recorded in that month. I.e. invoice received on 30 April must be entered into accounting period of April. Our business close AP/GL about a week before the end of month so if we receive invoice on 30th April but our AP/GL already closed on 25th Apr then 30th Apr invoice should go to May accounting period. As statutury requirement is to record this into April. How does anyone handle this?
    Thanks.
