    Hi,
    I have done MCA.I joined MNC as a fresher. Then I got training on SAP ABAP. But I am alloted to a project and working on SOX compliance in application security (for SAP system) i.e. monitoring and internal auditing. Here I have exposer to diffrent IT application security control, GRC, etc.
    Now I am really confused with my future growth. At this stage of my start of career I am not able to decide whether I should switch to SAP security or be with SAP ABAP once I rolled off from this project.
    Will you please guide me for choosing the best career path? and future growth in SAP security?

  • SAP Security Career Growth

    Hi Gurus,
    Could u please provide Sap Security Consultant Career Growth

    I would suggest that a good start would be not asking for points on the security forum if you wish to be taken seriously.
    You should also aim to develop the following:
    - Good understanding of SAP Authorisation Concept (lots of people don't get the basics right)
    - Have an overview of the main business processes
    - Understand risk management from a business and a technical perspective (understand not just the how, but the why's of security)
    - Appreciation of SAP Audit.  If you don't understand what they are looking for then how can you start to secure your system.
    You can also look at SAP courses ADM940, ADM950, ADM960
    Hope that helps

  • SAP HCM Support Function reg

    Hi All
    I have 4 Years of Experience in SAP HCM End user support and I also got a job offer for SAP HCM Support from one of the big company.
    If I continue my career in SAP Support what will be my future career, whether is there any big career opportunities available in future for Support function.
    Please suggest your views
    Thanks

    I agree with Colleen,
    There is a general perception among many that Support project work is degrading, boring, monotonous, non-challenging, lack-of-learning-opportunities etc.
    Those who say this, have actually no real work experience or are ignorant of world they live in. A support project is as important as an Implementation or a Roll-out project. Most Implementation and Roll-out projects are a 100m dash to the finish line. No one is bothered whether you flew or limped to the finish-line - as long as you completed the run within a decent timeline. The real challenge of Support project is in fixing a hurriedly set-up system without taking into consideration future performance or sustainability. These points have been discussed many times(even recently).
    Even if the above reasons don't excite here's one more. All Implementation/roll-out projects are short term and you'll end up searching for projects within months of beginning one, whereas Support projects are long-term and hence give you more stability and reassurance of steady revenue.
    pk
    PS: And this comes from a person who's worked in Implementation/Rollout/Upgrade projects for 70% of his total SAP project experience.

  • DBA Job Profile as Career

    Hi Guys
    I am currently working on PL/SQL and ORACLE Database. I am thinking of choosing Oacle DBA as my career path.
    I'd like to know how's the growth of DBA's (in terms of salary) and scope in IT industry (in INDIA) compare to other IT job profile .
    I heard that DBA's have to work for long hours , it's kind of boring job ,DBA's have to provide support 24 hours and there is no personal life for DBA's, Is it true guys?
    I want to know how is DBA's job profile considering salary , personal life and all other aspects so I can choose DBA path on long term basis.
    Please give me your suggestion guys.

    I heard DBA's have to work 24*7 in shifts to maintain databases in Production Environment.All DBA's have to do so or there are other scenarios also.
    And in which case or what kind of project DBA's work in normal working hours.
    Please Guide

    Well, that pretty well sums it up ... either all DBA's work 24*7 ... or they don't.
    Don't you suppose that what is required of a DBA .. of anyone .. at a particular company ... at any company ... depends on the particular company and it's business requirements?

    And so it is with job titles.  Any given job title means only and exactly what the organization chooses it to mean -- "neither more nor less".
    ============================================================================
    You have to ask yourself why you think you want to become a dba .. or any other profession.   Is it for the money?  Do you enjoy walking a tightrope without  a net?  Is the money worth it?  I've been reading a lot of Benjamin Franklin lately.  One of his favorite phrases is "don't spend too much for the whistle."  Or one of my favorites, "Don't spend you life climbing a ladder just to discover it was leaning against the wrong wall."

    Dear,
    SAP Warehouse Management --- I can say its an extension of Inventory management activities which closely related with MM.
    The SAP Warehouse Management (WM) application provides flexible, automated support to assist you in processing
    all goods movements and in maintaining current stock inventories in your warehousing complex.
    WM supports warehousing processes by making it possible for you to
    Define and manage complex warehousing structures
    Optimize material flow using advanced putaway and picking techniques
    Process goods receipts, goods issues and stock transfers quickly and easily
    Although it is possible for you to manage warehouse inventories using the Inventory Management (IM) application component, the primary difference between managing stock in WM and in IM is that in IM, the system can only display the total stock of a material for a storage location. If a warehouse is small and easily manageable, then the use of IM may be sufficient to fulfill your needs.
    WM, on the other hand, offers the capability to manage stock quantities in each individual storage bin in highly complex storage facilities. This means that, with WM, you can optimize the use of all storage bins, mix pallets belonging to several owners in randomly slotted warehouses and know exactly where a particular material is located in the warehousing complex at all times.
    Coming straight to answer you question : will it suite with my Experience ???
    Basing on the first my reply, if you decide to move ahead with MM and Inventory activities / or / you interested in Supply Chain areas - well its definetely helpful and not only helpful more fruitful for a functional consultant with MM to get knowledge in WM activities.
    Regards,
    Syed Hussain.

  • Career Prospect for SAP IS OIL

    Hi Dear Community Members,
    I need your valuable suggestions and insight before I move on to the Oil & Gas Industry.
    I had a IT Degree and I am in the IT industry for 10 years. I am now planning to venture into the Oil & Gas Industry as this industry has an overall promising career & a job security. Therefore I had the initiative to take on the SAP IS OIL Module hoping to break into the O&G Industries, however I am unsure how SAP IS OIL has an overall impact to the Oil & Gas Sector, like :
    What is the current market share for Oil Companies using SAP Solutions and SAP IS Module?
    What are the career prospects for a SAP OIL Consultant? In terms of job stability and future career path
    What are the markets in the US, UK and Europe for SAP IS OIL? As I am planning to migrate there.
    I am looking forward to your kind advice and input. Thank you very much in advance.
    Cheers,
    Gary

    Hi Gary,
    Overall if you want to be in SAP IS-Oil, one or more of the following skill is required:
    SAP PRA
    SAP JVA
    SAP PSA/PSE
    SAP Controlling
    SAP Finance
    Second: Its always good if you have process experience in Oil & Gas - Upstream, Downstream or Midstream comanies. If you have not then its desirable that you have some process experience as you will feel the need of it when you are learing the above module. Without knowing the modules it is a challenge.
    Third: Demand of IS- Oil is good and not bad however this is focussed in specific locations around the world like : US-Texas- Houston (Energy Hub), Canada, Middle east etc.
    Fourth: Considering the fact that oil prices are down now, it will probably take 6 months to 1 year time for the boom to come. so probably this is not same time to venture immediately but learning this for near futute might prove beneficial.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Career ladder in SAP

    Hi
    Can anyone advise on what is the career ladder in SAP. It starts with working as a consultant. what are the next steps ? Where does it end ? what is the highest end ?
    Thanx
    Pankaj

    Hi ,
    Have a look at the blogs collected at SAP Career Blog Links. Specifically, FAQ: Different Career Paths in SAP and the aforementioned How did you get your start in SAP?.
    You've mentioned the first step as "consultant". It might be a cultural difference or just a terminology difference, but for most folks, the first step is junior member of the support team. Consultants, in the US, are outside folks hired by businesses for their expertise to accomplish a short term goal (project). Contractors are hired long term to do day-to-day tasks that would normally be accomplished by employees. In either case, businesses tend to want to hire folks with experience as contractors or consultants.
    The typical route for someone who did not get recruited into an SAP consulting practice prior to graduating from college is to get an entry level position in the Information Technology department or in a functional department and then gradually move from that entry level position into a support role position and THEN to leave and become a consultant or contractor.
    This is covered in Advice for Recent College Graduates (aka "Freshers") and Advice for Students Interested in a Career in SAP.
    Hope this helps!

  • SAP XI support SFTP and FTPS?

    Hi Gurus,
      I would like to find out if SAP XI supports both SFTP and FTPS. If yes, how do I perform the configuration?
    Thanks in advance.

    Business Case:
    In many implementations Business requirement is to "secure" the file/data transfer between XI and any third-party system. So there is a need of secured connection between XI/PI and any file based third-party legacy systems.
    Following solutions are proposed to cater secure connection between XI/PI and any third party systems.
    1) SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)
    "SSH File Transfer Protocol" or SFTP is a network protocol that provides file transfer and manipulation functionality over any reliable data stream. It is typically used with the SSH-2 protocol to provide secure file transfer. SFTP encrypts the session, preventing the casual detection of username, password or anything that is being transmitted. One key benefit to SFTP is its ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe. By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
    2) FTPS (FTP over SSL)
    FTPS (FTP-SSL) is a real ftp that uses TSL/SSL to encrypt the control session and if required the data session. With FTPS, the control session is always encrypted, but the data session may not be always encrypted. FTPS is a file transport layer on top of SSL. SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is a method by which an encrypted u2018pipe' or tunnel is established between the FTP client and FTP server. Once the secure tunnel has been established (which is done using 128-bit encryption techniques), standard FTP is used to transfer data over the secure connection.
    Feasibility of SFTP and FTPS in XI:
    SFTP:
    As per the latest SAP PI/XI support pack, it does not support SFTP via File Adapter.
    So alternative approach to cater this requirement from XI is to make use of Unix Script at OS level to transfer the files from/to third-party systems.
    Inbound Interface - i.e. third-party system ->XI->SAP:
          File is transferred to a folder in SAP XI landscape from the third-party legacy system using UNIX Script with secured protocol. Once the file is ready in the XI landscape, File Adapter will poll this directory and file is picked up by NFS protocol.
    Outbound Interface u2013 i.e. SAP->XI->third-party system:
          XI is responsible for writing a file into a folder in the XI landscape. These files are transferred to the third-party system by executing UNIX scripts with secured protocol i.e. via sFTP.
    Pre-Requisites:
    Public key should be exchanged between external systems and the PI system.
    UNIX shell script has to be developed and scheduled.
    Advantages:
    Highly Secured.
    Ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe .By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
    Disadvantages:
    Two-Step process i.e. XI>Temporary folder>External System and vice-versa
    Files have to be temporarily stored in XI server.
    Multiple failure points i.e. XI and Unix script execution
    Maintenance of an external UNIX script.
    Difficulty in monitoring the execution of the shell script as it cannot be monitored thru XI.
    Need to generate keys and install it in the SFTP site as a pre-requisite i.e. SFTP clients must install keys on the server.
    SFTP uses keys rather than certificates. This means that it can't take advantage of the "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities.
    Files from the XI server should be deleted/archived in a periodic manner to increase the disc space so that it will increase the performance.
    Note: UNIX shell Script can be executed as a background job u2018or' can be triggered from SAP XI through OS command at File adapter level.
    FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Using SSL/TLS):
    This is a built-in feature of File adapter in XI. But SAP Java Cryptographic Toolkit must be deployed as a prerequisite. (Refer to note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/821267 Question 28). By default following ports are used:
    Implict FTPs 990 (Control) and 989 (Data)
    Explicit FTPs 21 (Control) and 20 (Data)
    Both use cases can be combined with active and passive mode.
    Advantages:
    Direct transfer of files to/from third-party systems. It is not required to store the files in the XI server temporarily.
    Built-In feature from XI File adapter
    No extra effort in development and maintenance of Unix Script.
    Centralized Monitoring tool from XI
    FTPS uses certificates and therefore can take advantage of "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities. This paradigm makes it possible for two entities to establish a trust relationship without directly exchanging security information, which is important for some applications.
    Disadvantages:
    Requires opening multiple ports forenabling SSLin the firewall. So there are multiple holes in the corporate firewall.
    Not every FTP server supports FTPS and many that do, require a configuration change to activate the FTPS protocol extension.
    Cryptographic toolkit should be installed in XI system though it is not very complex or expensive.
    Conclusion:
    Though SFTP seems more secure as it works through one port, FTPS is easier to configure, monitor and maintain from XI point of view. However, the decision depends on many parameters like, cost/effort, flexibility in use, ease of maintenance, company security policy, failure possibilities etc.

    Hello,
    BPC 10 does not support SQL 2014 yet. It will in a future SP release but that is still tentative. BPC 10.1 SP02 is scheduled to support it but that too is tentative as well.

  • Career Advice for SAP BI veteran

    Hi SAP Community!
    I'm Mike. I had been an SAP consultant for about 13 years. The last 3 years, have not been working as SAP consultant.
    My experience:
    SAP Basis 5 years .
    SAP BPS 2 years.
    SAP BW / BI / BI-IP  6 years.
    I have never been a team leader. Always a consultant. a Doer.
    I am now in my late 30's. I would like to progress/ transition into a more suitable position.
    I have attained my PMP certification 2 years ago. But, as said, no management experience.
    In the last 3 years when I was out of the scene, I was doing all kinds of low wage jobs. It started with the financial crisis.
    Back then, not many projects were available. What made worse was SAP BI-IP had a replacement of sorts : BPC, BO and BI Accelerator.
    I had given up SAP BI for the last 3 years. Now, I want to be back into SAP line. Outside of SAP line, I feel like a loser.
    I am not sure if I should go for SAP BO training that would cost me a bomb as its again all the technical details to learn.
    I feel that I am too old to keep repeating learning technical things that keep changing. i have the ability to keep learning. I have proven this in my career. But I like to have a career using my SAP experience and use my PMP.
    I would like your kind advice how to make my next career move. What would you recommend me to do?
    Thanks for reading. Hope to hear from you.
    Best regards
      Michael

    Hello,
    I don´t have any special advice, since you´re much older and more experienced and I cannot tell how to put your skills into the best use. But.. if you would like to start with something new, "cutting edge", like BO a blog of mine could help. Check it here: /people/otto.gold/blog/2010/07/20/how-to-play-around-with-sap-and-crystal-reports-trial-versions-only Using the blog you should be able to recreate a training landscape (and it should not take you like weeks since you have "some" basis experience) and you can give it a try for free before you decide to go this way or not. If nothing else, I could spare you some money.
    Wish you all the needed luck,
    regards Otto

    the ticket which is assigned to you.
    if you are not clear about the ticket, you will respond bac to the end-user or the concerned person
    regarding the issue.  he will give u more clarifications regarding the problem he is facing.
    you may still request him to send a screen-shot of the problem he is facing to get a more clearer
    pictures. like this you will have many interactions.
    you then work on the issue and solve it.  you then do proper testing and take an approval from the enduser for the same and ask him to close the ticket.
