Planning on starting career in SAP - Advice

My name is Srikanth and I am from UK. I am planning to start my career in SAP. My background is in Microsoft Tech (VB6, ASP, ASP.Net, C#, VB.Net, SQL Server, Databases, Web services and Portals) .
I have 9yrs of experience in developing legacy systems such as portals for telecoms, foreign exchange, marketing, health care etc.,
I have no prior knowledge of SAP. Reason for choosing is opportunities in SAP seems to be steady all the times.
At the moment I still have a job but I am seriously considering moving my career towards SAP.
With Microsoft Tech background , 9 Yrs of experience in developing portals , applications and no prior knowledge of SAP where do I start or what to choose in SAP ?
Please help or advice.

Until now what all I hear from others, not necessarily
 in this forum is one should have strong functional
 background to learn functional modules like
 (HR, FICO, and MM etc)
What you heard is absolutely correct !!!!!!!
I have seen many people jumping into SAP without the respective domain knowledge and suffered a lot in their career.
If you are very particular and interested to concentrate on any modules you listed, what I would suggest is that search a friend who have the domain experience in that field, learn from them all basic process so that you can try in SAP on your own. Straightaway, you cannot learn modules like MM, SD, FICO if you dont have any domain experience. Sorry to say this but since I have seen many friends as like what you had expressed and later suffered a lot, thought of cautioning you.

How to start preparation for SAP Certification

Hi i am a fresher in SAP Basis wants to start my preparation to clear SAP Certification exam.
Can any one tell me what is the syllabus and how should i start.

Hi Aakash,
If you are in India, please contact SAP Education. They have separate evaluation process, without training you cannot attend unless you have trained with SAP / Authorised Training Center.

Here for each certification exam, you can see the syllabus.
You only need to study what is required for that exam, not the whole SAP basis.
Hope this helps.

How to start learning for SAP for Mobile for Non SAP user

Hi All,
I am sorry If I am asking a repeated question. I am a IT professional with couple of years experience in mainframes, core java,html, CSS, SQL etc. I am looking for a U-turn in my career and want to take a 6 month study break from my job. After some discussion from friends and searching on internet, I have came across Sybase unwired plaleform and SAP mobility. I want to learn this. But I am not able to find a clear learning path for this. I am expecting that in this forum any able person can help me by letting me know how to procced. what to learn first, what to learn second and which certification I need to go thru, which part(developerr, administrator, architecch etc)will be suitable for me.

SAP Mobility is hot now.
If you need a career change you can definitely become a SAP Mobility Consultant.
You need to talk to any of the SAP mobility consultant to get some idea on how the apps are developed or attend training provided by SAP.
Sybase Unwired Platform is the key in SAP mobility (Where business logic will be written). To become an SUP developer there is no need of any particular programming language.
My suggestion to you is learn SUP development and Android development (Since you know JAVA).
All the best.

How to start & stop SAP J2EE services.

Hello,
Can anyone tell me the steps how to Start and Stop SAP J2EE operations and how to troubleshoot the problems when the Java doesn't come-up.
Regards,
Murali

Hi,
In windows,
go to SAP management console,Right click on the SID and then start all tasks
similarly to stop,Right click,
stop all tasks
If it is linux machine,
switch to SIDadm user,by giving the command su sidadm
ex:if SID is J2E,then it will be j2eadm.and then it is startsap or stopsap.
For troubleshooting,
1.go to /usr/sap/SID/JCxx/j2ee/cluster/server0/log
look for defaulttrace.trc file.
you can get to know the errors here and find teh root cause of it.
2.you can also look for devp_trace in SAPmanagement console.
3.Before doing all this,first check if JAVA_HOME,path and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set properly and proper JDK is taken.
4.check id DB is up and running.

How to start sap on linux while booting?

Hi all,
I want to start and stop SAP automatically when the system starts or is stopped.
In earlier Suse (SLES 9) releases there was a script sapr3 in /etc/init.d which could be used for it, when the file /etc/sysconfig/sapr3 was filled correctly.
In newer releases (SLES 10) there is no such script (besides boot.sapconf, which is uesd to set the sap parameters).
Does anybody know how to start and stop sap systems using the init.d mechanism?
Thank you for you help.
Best regards
Christian

I do understand, that the function does no longer exist. But how to "create your own".
If I were to create one I'd use something along the following lines...
#! /bin/sh
# SAP startup script - sapstart
# chkconfig sapstart on - to enable on startup
# Replace SAPEXE,ADMUSR and SLOG below with correct values
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: sapstart
# Required-Start: $network $syslog $remote_fs $time
# X-UnitedLinux-Should-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6
# Short-Description: Start SAP
# Description: Startup of SAP
### END INIT INFO
. /etc/rc.status
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin; export PATH
SAPEXE=/sapmnt/DEV/exe
ADMUSR=devadm
SLOG=/var/log/saplog
SHELL=/bin/csh
# Reset status of this service
rc_reset
case "$1" in
    start)
     echo -n "Starting SAP.. "
     su -s $SHELL -l $ADMUSR -c $SAPEXE/startsap >> $SLOG &
     # Remember status and be verbose
     rc_status -v
    stop)
     echo -n "Please ensure SAP is cleanly shutdown before rebooting!.. "
     # Remember status and be verbose
     rc_status -v
     echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
     exit 1
esac
rc_exit
I deliberately left out 'stop' for obvious reasons, don't forget to create the log file.
Untested so use at your own risk !

New in BI, any suggest how to start?

Hi :
New in SAP world. Need suggestion on how to start to learn SAP business Intelligence.
My background is oracle E-Business developer. For reporting purpose, I am using Oracle discoverer, Oracle Report and BI publisher. My manager wants me find some class to learn the SAP Business Intelligence.
Question :
1) Any suggestion What class should I take?
2) In SAP, what is Business Intelligence? Is that a reporting tool? What is the role for developer in BI? Does the developer build the basic report and then user can further manipulate the final "look" of the report?
2) I found the SAP certification for SAP Business Objects BI. It suggests to take Crystal reports too. What is the relationship between Crystal report and BI in SAP world?
Any advice is welcome!
Fushan

SAP BI has many areas to master. You need to decide if you want to focus on the front-end or back-end.
For front-end, you will specialize in Business Objects Business Intelligence and learn the reporting toolset. You will need to develop skills for gathering reporting requirements, and visualizing data graphically or in tabular format.
For back-end, you will specialize in designing data warehouses in SAP BW or SAP HANA. You will need to develop skills for data modeling and ABAP programming.
For certification, go to the SAP Education site and look at the recommended courses. I also recommend the SAP PRESS certification guides (eg. BI 7.0) to help study for the exam. You can also find lots of training videos and free content online thru SAP.
