Getting Enterprise Architect & BPM Certified

Hello,
I am an independent SAP Consultant specializing in Managing Projects end to end. I need some direction and advise on how best to streamline my leaning and horn in on a combination of speciality areas. I am highly interested in getting certified in the following areas: Enterprise Architecture and Business Process Management. Please can you advise on the best way I can archive this? Again my focus is to get certified.
Thanks,
Ini

Hi Ini,
I can only comment on the SAP Enterprise Architecture certification as that's the one I have. I haven't attemted the BPX Certification...
You could do the Togaf Certification & it will have a significant amount of what is contained in the in the SAP Enterprise Architecture Course. However, the problem is that SAP have added some significant additions to the Togaf methodolgy & that is only covered in SOA200. The other issue is that you can only get that conent in the SAP Material covered in SOA200.
Your best option is to attend the SOA200 SAP Academy. Then read up on some high level overviews of various SAP Netweaver Technologies like: SAP BW, SAP PI, SAP Portals. Get an understanding (high level) of how each one works. Once you've covered the SOA200 course material well (you'll need to know the steps in each phase of the Architecture Metamodel) and you have a fair understanding of how SAP Netweaver Technology works, then attempt the certification. The Netweaver questions in the certification are not in the SAP Enterprise Architecture course material.

  • Certified Associate SAP Enterprise Architect

    Could anyone certified on 'Certified Associate SAP Enterprise Architect' give some guidelines to prepare for the exam?  Would be great if you can share your experience on writing this exam.

    I was able to clear this exam few months back . I have seen many people asking about this certification. There is so much to share in terms of experience, but here i would like to highlight few things:
    First of all read through this exam and preparation courses here : [http://www12.sap.com/services/education/certification/certificationrole.epx?context=%5b%5bROLE_C_SOA_CER%5d%5d%7c]
    This is neither an typical technical exam nor an functional domain specifc course. This mainly is about big SOA engagements in an organisation. Following are major areas of exam:
    Concepts:
    SOA history, the SOA overview, journey of SOA so far within SAP, how SAP has adopted SOA model in its practices and many more conceptual points in and around SOA.
    SOA Engagement:
    In SOA 200 course you will find different phases illustrating how should SOA transformation happen in any company based on several conditions. This also includes what is the best practice to convert an traditional running software enviornment to SOA oriented enviornment.
    SOA Governance :
    How to get engaged in effective SOA cycle and what rules/templates to follow.
    Apart from concepts there are courses for real time studies on Provisioning and Consumption sides of SAP SOA.
    Related to this you also need knowledge of SAP netweaver tools and how do these tools help in provisioning and consumption and in overall SOA practices.
    In general, this is first level course for a person who wants to be an Enterprise Archictect. But I feel there would be a long way to go after this for anyone to become an SOA EA. This course forms a basis of understanding about the buzz word SOA and related scnearios. But a practical engagement is then necessary to move in the direction of an EA.
    I think we are(should be) not allowed to come up with the question paper, but I can give you some hints on the pattern asked in this certification:
    The questions are arranged mostly as per the chapters of different courses - SOA100, 200, 110 and Netweaver.
    If you read whole SOA 200 it is easier to clear the certification exam because SOA 200 is the important part of whole learning. The major focus is on Introduction chapters of SOA and several definitions besides different phases (view/matrices/templates).
    Netweaver topics are huge and it is not possible for anyone to cover all the stacks of Netweaver like PI, MDM, BI, Composition via CAF/CE..
    which means that there can be some technical questions which will not be possible to answer unless you have worked on that area throughly. So its better to go with best knowledge on these topics before appearing in the exam or just leave on your luck otherwise ).
    SOA100 is very interesting in reading and for understanding as well. The questions are very easy also to answer in this area.
    I would say this course should be more considered as interesting learning and its not safe to leave any topic or chapter among these courses for exam as all the courses contribute to questions in the exam.
    Hope it helps .

  • Off topic: Substitutes for "Enterprise Architect" on Linux?

    I really like Enterprise Architect, but don't really relish installing Crossover Office and the 1001 Abominations that are required to support EA under Linux - yet I'm mostly developing in a Linux environment these days.
    Can anyone recommend a Linux-compatible product - free or commercial - that's in the same league as EA, particularly for building ER diagrams?
    I know this isn't technically a Java question, but perhaps there's a Java based product that fits the bill.

    dcminter wrote:
    I can always get by with a notepad and a fountain pen; I tended to use EA for its reverse engineering capabilities; I worked on one project where the project managers insisted we document the whole system by using Together to reverse engineer class diagrams and sequence diagrams from the Java code using Together. The class diagrams were not bad bu the sequence diagrams had so much irrelevant detail that they were unusable.
    the ER diagrams made good aides memoires, made it easy to spot silly mistakes in the DB design, and are great for communicating about the DB design, but I rarely use them up front.I don't do much complex BD design - I rely on people who know what they are doing.
    >
    I think Canonical's the best thing that's happened to Linux (even if it does keep reverting my Java config to GCJ (spit) for its own mysterious reasons). I've used various flavours of Linux for years, but gave it up on the desktop because it was too painful to maintain. Finally it's become easier to manage a Linux desktop than a Microsoft one!
    It'll be really interesting to see if people start porting these significant developer applications to Linux, or if decent dedicated replacements will spring up to replace them - or if this is just a blip before Linux gets trampled by its commercial rivals.I would like to change my Wife's computer from Windows XP to Ubuntu but I don't think it's quite there yet. Very close but still a little way to go.

  • Any sample Questions for BEA Enterprise Architect certification..

    I am a certified BEA's Enterprise architect aspirant. However I have no idea about the kind of question which might be asked there.
    Anyone who has taken this certification before or know what kinda questions may be asked in there.. please share :)
    I have about 5 yrs of experience in web technologies with about 1-2 yrs in Weblogic. Also, I have recently cleared Sun'd SCWCD1.4. Can anyone tell me if this qualification is good enough to take a shot at BEA's arch test :)
    Thanks in advance.

  • Power designer's Data Architect, Enterprise Architect and Information Architect

    Does anyone have product differences between Power designer's Data Architect, Enterprise Architect and Information Architect?

    Dear Rahaman,
    Please refer to the PD 16.5 packaging options below and you can't miss the differences.
    DataArchitect\DM includes Shell/Core*, XML, PDM, LDM
    DataArchitect\RE  includes Shell/Core*, XML, PDM, LDM, Repository
    Information Architect includes Shell/Core*, XML, PDM, LDM, Repository, DMM, CDM, BPM
    EnterpriseArchitect includes Shell/Core*, XML, PDM, LDM, Repository, DMM, CDM, BPM, OOM, EAM, EA Frameworks
    ** Shell & Core includes UI, Gap and Impact Analysis Tools, Reporting Tools, RQM, Free Model, and other common components
    There exists different modeling features you can use in each of packages in PowerDesigner 16.
    If you want to use a repository for storing models and sharing them with other modelers, you should have at least DataArchitect/RE option.
    And, If you should use OOM, then it is required that you have the EnterpriseArchitect option.
    Best Regards
    Jerry

  • Info about how to get an Add-on certified

    Hi all...
    I was looking at the portal on how to get a add-on certified, but didn't find any information. Anyone know where to get information on this subject?

    Hi Rasmus,
    There is a brand new page into SDN talking about B1 AddOns certification.
    To access the SDN page for B1 solution certification go to http://www.sdn.sap.com
         -> Integration and Certification Center (under "Quick Links" on the right)
              -> Integration Scenarios (alphabetical)

  • How to add TIMESTAMP data type in  Enterprise Architect...?

    Hi all
    There is no data type of timestamp in Enterprise Architech. There is only
    DATE type. I have ERD prepared from Enterprise Architech. How to modify
    DATE type to TIMESTAMP type.
    How to add TIMESTAMP data type in Enterprise Architect or in ERD ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pal

    Have you asked this question of the vendor of Enterprise Architect? They may have a later version that supports the various TIMESTAMP data types. If your ERD tool doesn't support a data type, other than talking to the vendor or working around the problem (i.e. generate DDL to a text file and edit it before applying it to the database), you're probably out of luck.
