Difference between SAP XI Dev and XI Admin

Hi,
I have worked as SAP basis Administrator and also into HR Security area. However I intend to learn XI/PI 7.0.
I need to know the difference between XI Dev and xi Admin. To my knowledge, XI Dev involves the knowledge of either ABAP or Java. Can anybody help in finding out what prequisites do we need to get into Admin site of it.
Also the scope for Admin professionals.
Your response will be appreciated <removed by moderator>

Now a days there is much compition in the SAP XI/PI development(Technical consultants...).
Every ABAPer and Java guy is learning XI/PI.
I don't know your technical ablities - I don't think so, U can develop ABAP/Java objects as like as ABAPer/Java guy.
If U know the ABAP/Java already, thats different story. U can start learning XI/PI easily.
As a Basis consultant, comming to Development area, preparing resume... and getting job is........ it seems little bit tuff.
Better you focus in NW admin only. Market for NW admin will be pertty much good( with multiple skills like DBA, all NW components installation knowledge - like APO, CRM, X-Apps...

  • Difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow

    Hello guys,
    Is there any difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow?
    Are there others workflows types in SAP?
    In all SAP Workflow Courses (BIT600, BIT601, BIT603, BIT610) only was talked about SAP Business Workflow, and nothing about CRM Workflow.
    Thanks a lot!
    Kleber

    Hello Kleber,
    There is not much of the differance between CRM workflows and SAP Business  workflows..
    Workflows are esentially part of Basis (BC) components and hence its the same across all SAP products as all these products have components of Basis(BC) in them...
    To Conclude, SAP Busines workflows and CRM workflows are the same things... However when you work on CRM, the BOR objects would be belonging to CRM and not to ECC... However conceptwise , there in no change at all.. If you learn BIT100......, you can also work on CRM workflows..

    Thanks In advance

    Request you to check your data first in your Cube/ODS, better would be to check in the data container where the data is first loaded.
    Also check if this field is getting directly loaded as 1-to-1 mapping.

  • Difference between SAP/APO/DP and the SAP/CRM solution for forecasting

    Hi,
    Can you please help me identifying the main differences between SAP/APO/DP and the SAP/CRM solution for forecasting? Advantages and disadvantages?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi LCD777,
    Forecasting at DP & CRM are altogether at different entities.  CRM involves webbased data transfer mechanism tool whereas DP is database/livecache driven tool.
    In CRM, you dont get optimised solution of forecasting out of it whereas in DP you can get as much as
    optimised solution & flexibility as per your requirements.
    DP is majorly a forecasting tool where in huge statistical method functionalities are embedded in
    whereas CRM is majorly a transactional tool wherein it involves gathering of forecast data and executing it.
    Typically, CRM will be integrated with DP containing GATP environment & ECC so that DP will plan for forecast data, ECC system drives sales order data & GATP calls for availability check and finally
    the forecast execution& transactions will be controlled by CRM

  • Difference between SAP 7.0 and 7.1

    Hi,
    We are working on NW2004 and NW2004s.
    Recently SAP announced support for SAP 7.1
    I wanted to know whats the major difference between SAP 7.0 and 7.1.
    I did not get a good link which tells the difference.
    Any link here would be very helpful.
    Best regards
    Manoj

    Well the link above is only targeting NetWeaver CE 7.1 and that's no full coverage for the NW2004/2004s features. What I mean is that CE is not a successor of NW but kind of a side-product mostly intended for developing and running composite applications. You cannot upgrade from NW2004/2004s to CE since CE will not offer you the full NW2004/2004s functionality.
    Besides CE there is only 7.1 version of PI/XI released. I beleive the full NetWeaver 7.1 will be released at some point of time but it's not the case yet.
    So:
    If you're seeking for an upgrade of your NW2004/2004s NetWeaver systems you should wait for the next release of the full NetWeaver that will eventually be based on 7.1 (except for PI systems which already have a new 7.1 release).
    If you want to have systems to develop on using the new cool features you can install some additional CE 7.1 server(s)

  • Difference between SAP 4.6C and SAP ECC6.0

    hi ,
               Can any one give me the difference between SAP 4.6C and SAP ECC6.0 .
    in respect to following points..
    Assertions and Breakpoints
    New Debugger
    New Editor
    Run Time Type Services (RTTS)
    Unicode

    HI Neha ,
    ECC->enterprise central component.ECC 6.0 is the advanced version.if we consider in technical point of view then i can give u one example.
    In the new version we have enhancement points and enhancement sections along with enhancemnts and BADI'S.SAP has provided these ,so that without going for access keys we can write our code in the enhancement points along with Standard SAP code.So now SAP has provided more user friendly environment.Also a new DEBUGGER also arrived with the new version.Now we can see more things in the new er version of DEBUGGER.
    Thanks ,

  • Difference between SAP GUI scripting and eCATT

    HI,
      What is difference between SAP GUI Script and eCATT.
      I know that SAP GUI Script can be used for transaction that have activex controls but can we use these script in eCATT also.
      If yes, how?
    Thanks,
    Priya

    Hi Priya,
    SAPGUI script will only work from an external program, may be VB or vbScript. ECATT can only execute a fixed set of commands e.g. (TCD, SAPGUI etc) or a block of ABAP code. ECATT can both work in foreground and background mode.
    In foreground mode you would be able to see the script running on your frontend whereas background mode will create a job in the SAP system.
    You can convert your SAPGUI scripts to SAPGUI commands and execute. If you strictly want to execute SAPGUI script from ECATT then you would have to save the script somewhere on your desktop computer and call it from an ABAP block in ECATT.

  • Difference between SAP BC ABAP and SAP ABAP Training

    What is the basic difference between SAP BC ABAP and SAP ABAP Training ?
    Can any one answer these? I am little confused about the learning material I searched on internet and the course provided. It has similar topics but different name. I have course like SAP ABAP ECC 6.0 (TAW10 and TAW12) but on search I also found SAP BC ABAP beside this.

    Hello
    SAP BC means SAP Business Connector

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_Business_Connector
    So you can know SAP BC ABAP is ABAP for SAP BC
    SAP ABAP/4 is a program lanuague

    For ABAP certification
    TAW10 and 12 are the right materials.

  • Difference between SAP Access Control and IDM

    Hi Expert,
    I have one question What is the difference between SAP Access Control and SAP Identity Management ?

    Ali,
    That's a good question, but a tough one.
    While both applications can do most of what the other can do, it's a matter of specialization in my opinion.
    Access Control is all about managing and controlling access to SAP system roles and has the ability to report on role conflicts for compliance and reporting purposes. (I'm sure I'm leaving a lot out, but maybe a GRC / AC expert can fill in more details)
    SAP IDM is about managing the user life cycle with regards to landscape and enterprise systems. It will handle the creation, update and ultimately the removal (or de-provisioning) of users in SAP ABAP, SAP JAVA, LDAP, JDBC, and API based applications.  It will also do Role Management through a web based UI (User management is web based as well). and as of the latest Service pack for SAP IDM 7.2, it will do attestation (limited certification) as well. It is a definite upgrade to CUA as it will work with a greater variety of systems, include workflows and approvals.
    GRC will do some provisioning, but it's somewhat limited, as is IDM's compliance abilities.
    The applications are designed to work together, however it does not have a great track record and the integration is typically heavily modified to work as desired.
    If you have specific questions, feel free to post / DM.  Obviously I am more knowledgeable about IDM, but I'll be happy to help you in any way possible.
    Regards,
    Matt
