Changing role from Technology consultant to Development consultant

Hi Gurus,
I'm XI technology consultant and I've been working in this field for past 1 year now I'm planning to change the role from Administration to Development.
1. How difficult/easy it is?
2. Anyone does this before?
3. Is it possible to utilize both skills in a project? If yes then how?
4. Any benefits in doing this? (in terms of Job Opportunity, Salary)
5. Any other comments
I have little knowledge of ABAP and few XI scenarios.
Thanks in advance.

HI,
1. How difficult/easy it is?
A) It is not difficult as u have a experience in XI BASIS part. In Develoopment there are two things which you need to do.
1) Integration directory:
   Which is the design where u wil design ur interface. Which has step by step process.
just search on SDN for different scenarios.
2) Integration Directory:
  it is configuration part which has all the adapters so depening upon the scenarios u ahve to the specific adapters.
2. Anyone does this before?
A) may be many people has done.
3. Is it possible to utilize both skills in a project? If yes then how?
yes it will be advantage for u as many project require to create SLD,BS,TS,roles,transport but ususally in project these activities are carried by BASIS people.
4. Any benefits in doing this? (in terms of Job Opportunity, Salary)
Thats depends upon the company requirements.
5. Any other comments.
Just search on SDN as there are many blogs which helps in understanding the different scenarios.
Go to below thread for help:
/thread/143337 [original link is broken]
XI for starters
I have little knowledge of ABAP and few XI scenarios.
ABAp knowledge has advantages too.

    Hi
              I need the Roles of  Functional Consultant and Technical Consultant in upgradation from 4.6b to ECC 6.0.
    Thanks
    Anto

    Dear Anto,
    In Technical SAP,Upgrade from 4.6 to 6.0- the role of any fucntional consultant would involved integrated with the technical Consultant.
    The phase starts with the technical Patches apply to the latest stack level which will done by the BASIS Consultants.
    Once the System preparation is happened, the next phase is with SPDD phase, Thru this transaction the dictionary Objects-Database elements, database tables and structures of teh latest system can be
    compared with the old system.
    This results in the version modification results between the old and New versions. During this phase the involvement of the Functional Consultant needed for the tech guy, to identify the functional chnages between the two version (Old and New). Which helps for him either to Reset to Original(ie., adopting the new one) or Adopt Modification in previous system(ie., adopting to older functionality)
    Once this is done, the System Upgradation will be done by the BASI, the system will be replaced with new system. At teh end of this phase SPAU phase starts, which inturn reults with version difference in the field namely, Programs, Reports, Screens, Messages, Notes an Function Modules. Here too the involvement of functional consultant neede to determine either reset to original or to go with Adopt modification from the older design, as explained earlier.
    At teh end of the, moreover the functional consultant role involved in testing the Entire processes and transactoin in the system for system dump and bugs, in necessity to correct teh same and results with nil errors in production client.
    Also the Zprograms invloved in the older versions, needs to be examined for the actual need, and to be justified with adoption in the newer version or by adopting to the updated functionality in the newer version.
    Hope this may give better clarity in the involvement of the Functional Consultant in the Updgrade project.

    If the project is of technical up gradation then with no functionality changed, Then the job of abap consultant is critical, right from creating spdd and spau, interfaces, debug the new programs and fix the bugs if exists in the new programs. The functional consultant has to test the new system from functions point of view; functional consultant is responsible for taking user acceptance test before going on live to the new system.

  • In PP Interface related issues the role of functional consultant

    In PP Interface related issues what is the role of functional consultant .  what is the approach steps to analyse and resolve the issues  in XI, interface, idoc, etc.,

    For issues relating to interfaces, a functional person would need to diagnose what is causing the issue & thereby informing the technical person where to fix it, if the issue is due to system setup.
    As regards to the steps, I just wish there was a manual which read something like
    10 steps on how to analyze....
    unfortunately there is none that I have come across or even if one is ever written on those lines will be very specific, so not much of use for your need. A good approach would be to have a clear understanding of what the interface is supposed to do, which would assist you in fixing the issues.

    Functional consultant is a broad term used for all functional people working on a project. You need to identify the area you are working on, hence would have different roles and responsibilities for the same.
