  • Get started with SAP Security

    Hi Guys,
    My company will implement sap very shortly and I have an opportunity to get in to it.
    I have some user level knowledge of SAP. What is the best way to practice. I have access to the system. I read some material on sap website. Can some one point me to get started to learn.
    Thanks,
    MS.

    SAP software is huge and there are so many different areas into it. It is best to undergo training to get started on SAP. Since your company is going to implement SAP soon, most likely you will be imparted training depending upon your role. But if you want to take initiative and have ambition to get into an SAP role, you may need to put extra effort.
    SAP Education (a division of SAP) and SAP Education Partners (e.g. Siemens Information Services, NIIT and a lot many) provide trainings - classroom, virtual and e-learning. But that may cost you a lot. There are several online training providers who provide SAP training at reasonable price. You may Google and find a good one. The SAP forums may also help you in your search. You already have SAP system access, so you are spared from sending money on this front. Otherwise it too may cost you depending on your usage.
    Still if you want to look for resources which can help you do things on SAP system, all I can tell you is that there is no such organized SAP Handbook. You may go through a book on using SAP and for general information. Yes, for different topics you will get tutorials which guide you step-wise-step. For example, suppose you want know how for LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) which uploads data from your local system to SAP system so that SAP users can make use of it. You can search for LSMW and you will find information (e.g I found this in Google search results: LSMW FAQs) which will help you to carry out the task. The point I want to make is you need to know what you want to do and then you can search for the required information.
    Probably in ABAP (SAP Programming language), it's possible to get started. You can go through an SAP Press Book "ABAP Objects" from Horst Keller and Sascha Kruger which starts you with your first ABAP program.
    If you want an overview of SAP software and various solutions in the mySAP Business Suite family (which you will come across while implementation and after-wards at your company), the following series of articles may help you:
    PART-1 What is SAP?
    PART-2 Evolution of SAP ERP Software
    PART-3 Introduction to SAP Business Suite
    PART-4 SAP definition of terms and its various offerings
    Hope it helps:-)

  • Getting started with SAP Netweaver

    Hi there,
    I am an IT professional with 7 years of development/project management experience in MS technologies.
    I want to learn SAP Netweaver, but very new to SAP!
    What is the Pre-requisite to learn Netweaver? Should I know ABAP to get into the Netweaver platform?
    Please advice me and provide some useful materials to getting started with Netweaver.
    Thanx.
    Aslu

    Hi Aslam,
    there was a recent thread about a similar question of yours, please check out First time in  SAP  Netweaver
    There are so many NetWeaver components so your question is a bit hard to answer.. But if you want to keep on programming, you really don't need ABAP much. NetWeaver is mostly about Java (Web App Server & Enterprise Portal programming), but you have touching points to both .NET and ABAP.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to get started with iTunes/iMatch

    I am trying to import my library of 3000 mp3 songs into iTunes/iMatch/iCloud. I have subscribed to iMatch. The problem is that there doesn't appear to be any guidance about how to do this, what the difference between iTunes, iMatch, and iCloud is, where the music is stored, and so on.  The only thing I found was an article on the iTunes support site that said "Using iMatch is easy."  I didn't find that to be the case.
    I have now created an unholy mess that I have no idea how to get out of.   My iTunes media folder has four albums in it, all of which have one copy of some of the songs in AAC (m4a) format.  Meanwhile, in iTunes, I have seven albums, some of which are in my iTunes library and some of which aren't.  When I look at the music collection in iTunes, I have four or five copies of each song.  I am really unclear where these songs are residing (in the Cloud maybe?), why there are so many copies, and so on.
    Obviously, just randomly flailing is not going to solve this problem.  So are there in fact any instructions for how to do this rather simple task and keep everything organized and understand what is going on?

    First, iCloud and iTunes Match (not "iMatch") are not the same thing. Apple uses the term "iCloud" interchangably, but that is just confusing for most people, unfortunately.
    Enabling iTunes Match is as simple pulling down the Store menu in iTunes and selecting "turn on iTunes Match." That's all the guidance there is. The process will then scan the iTunes library and "match" or "upload" all the tracks it can. The original tracks on the computer's internal HDD stay right where they are and are not changed in any way. Nor is the location of the iTunes library magically changed to the cloud.
    I strongly suggest you stop being concerned with what the files in the iTunes Media folder look like and let iTunes manage the files. If you're going to use iTunes then you should only interact with the music through iTunes. Trying to manage the files in the Finder/Windows Explorer is only going to frustrate you. You can group albums together by editing the ID3 tags by highlighting the tracks of an Album and doing a Get Info...
    So if you post back with some specific questions we will do our best to help you.

  • Getting started with SAP BW

    Hi!
    I already have read SAP courses BW305 and BW310 and went through [SAP BW example |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/46/8df2e4ebf268e5e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm ].
    I have a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 system and SAP ERP IDES 6.0.
    Now I would like to continue to gain practical experience.
    What could the next step? 
    Of great interest for me are:
    - a case study/example where I can load and analyze data from SAP ERP IDES ECC 6.0
    - a case study in area bw bases consolidation
    - other practical topics
    Any helpful information/SDN blogs, etc. will be very appreciated!
    Thank you very much!
    Thom

    Hi Thom,
    You can find many in SDN. Please find below a very few links which might help u...
    You need to majorly concentrate on Modelling and Business content.
    Start with modelling and then have a look at Business content objects. Then go for extraction and then for reporting. If you have R/3 along with BW with you, that would be good enough to work with.
    Consider a Business Cycle like Manufacturing Industry Life cycle from scratch like Establishing the manufacturing industry till production of goods where all the modules are involved.
    <y suggestion is that you better take suggestion contacting a BI consultant directly and take his help in understanding teh realtime scenarios and case studies.
    You may find many case studies in SDN but if you have physical guidance that would be great enough to gain much grip about the functionalities of the scenarios.

  • General questions on how to get started with Oracle OEPE and databases

    My company has a server in the cloud, written using Ruby on Rails. The server is designed to work with a browser, so it communicates via standard HTTP.
    The server has an SQL database.
    The server sends and receives HTTP requests from clients, which are then used to either update the database or retrieve information from the database.
    The database can be edited from a separate admin dashboard.
    I have recently rewritten our client software as a native android app. The new app makes calls to the server that look like browser calls. I have used Eclipse to develop the Android app.
    Sounds pretty standard so far, right? :-)
    I now want to replace the Ruby on Rails server with a new Java server that I will write. I want to use Eclipse to develop the new server. During development, I want to be able to have the new Android app communicate with the development server software that will reside on my desktop.
    So I was thinking that Oracle's tools might be perfect for me, if only I knew which tools to use. There are lot to choose from. :-)
    I believe that all I need is OEPE and a database. I would like to keep it pretty simple. I don't want to learn 20 new tools. It will be enough effort to become proficient in OEPE and a database.
    I looked at "Oracle Database Tools >> Connecting to an Oracle database" in the help files for OEPE 12.1.1. I tried going through the help files for Database connections, but I got to a "New Connection Profile" form that asks me for a SID, a user name, a password, etc. I don't have any of those. I tried to enter some data in the forms and ping the database, but I could not get any results from the ping. So my first question is: Do I have to sign up for an Oracle database in the cloud or is there a database contained within the OEPE software that I just installed. I will have to do the former anyway when I eventually deploy my new server software, so maybe the right thing to do is sign up for the "database in the cloud" service now, and use it during development.
    The other question I have is about getting a simple application client and server application sample. I found a "hello world" example at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13224_01/wlw/docs103/guide/webapplications/workshopJSP/tutorialJSP/TutorialJSPMakeJSP.html, but that is for WLS 10.3 and it doesn't seem to match the 12.1.1 software very well.
    So does anybody know where I can find a simple client and server sample program for WLS 12.1.1?
    If I can get these two questions answered, I can start making some progress.
    Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me navigate this minefield.
    Jim

    I wanted to add some information to my previous posting.
    1. The server I will develop will communicate ONLY with Android and iOS native apps, so the interface will not be HTML or XML. The information sent by the server to the client will be JSON. The information sent by the client to the server will be HTTP parameters, usually in the form of URL-encoded form data. This is not a browser-to-server server interface, so JSP is probably not appropriate for the server. The communication protocol will be HTTP.
    2. I don't need anything fancy on the server side. The server will simply be a Java program that emits JSON responses to the client and receives URL-encoded form data from the client. The server program will also make database queries and update the database.
    3. I don't understand how my native Android app will be able to communicate with my development server code running on my desktop. I want that communication to be over the internet, but my desktop does not have a static IP address, so I don't see how the app will be able to address the development server software on my desktop PC. I don't want to deploy the server software into the cloud every time I start a debug run, but I don't see any other way for my app to be able to address the server code over the Internet.
    If anybody has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing them.
