I want to get into SAP BI

Hi BI Experts,
I am planning to get into SAP BI , currently workig on SAP ABAP from past 3.5 years. So please guide me how to get into.
Regards,
Kali

Hi Kali,
I suggest you to go for training provided by SAP Labs on SAP BI 7.0 which helps u lot. As you are experienced in ABAP, you might have known all such things. If you want to have a kick start what are the things you need to concentrate on, i can suggest you. ABAP + BW is a good combination. If you know BW along with ABAP, market also prfers the same combination.
For BW 3.5, refer this help link from SAP:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm

(From:Re: bw 3.5 vs 7.0)
Pls Look into the following links for details :-
SAP:
TBW10 (BI Enterprise Data Warehousing)
TBW20 (BI Reporting & Query Design)
TBW41 (BI Extraction with UDI & XI and APD)
TBW42 (BI Advanced Enterprise Data Warehousing & Reporting)
TBW45 (BI Integrated Planning)
For more Inforamtion regarding BI certification Go to Servie market place
www.service.sap.com/education/
If and only if you have experience on this version BI 7.0 then go for it, Becaue the look and feel of the BI 7.0 is different from the BW 3.x. There are lot of changes in the BI 7.0.
Other wise I would suggest you to aim for 3.5 certification
You can find the required documentation at the URL

How to get into SAP Career when having 10 year experience in sales?

Dear all,
Please suggest me how to get into SAP career, I have 10 year exp in sales specialized in Channel sales in consumer durable industry in India, Is there any scope for sales professional in SAP? I dont have any experience in SAP, but want to learn and get into SAP career.....how do I begin please suggest
Thanks

vapin,
Search for online training institutes on the net. Each of these gives a demo. By attending the demo make a selection of the institute.
On Youtube too, there are lots of SD training videos. Check those.
TW
Added: A good trainer will have the following:
1 - give business examples, to explain functionalities
e.g. intercompany sale process: the process from his experience, what are the key benefits to business etc.
IMP: Functional consultant is first about understanding the business process and second about configuration etc. in SAP
2 - patience
he should not be reluctant to answer your questions properly
he should sense how you are understanding the concepts, and take necessary actions
3 - mentor
what should be your next steps - how to prepare SD, how to prepare your resume, how to prepare for interviews etc. etc.

Dynamics NAV/AX Technical Advisory wants to move into SAP

Hi All,
I have hit 10 years of industry experience in Dynamics NAV support, deployment and implementation and some of Dynamics AX. I am currently a Senior Technical Advisory - designing , deploying and supporting our partner channel across EMEA.
How does someone technical and in deployment business starts getting into SAP technical side?
I would really appreciate some links that can guide me step by step. I cannot afford to pay for £1000 per course but do not mind spending more than that when I have cleared basics on my own. Obviously my current company would not pay me for competitor training
I am based in Reading, UK.
Thank you very much well in advance.
Best Regards,
Zeeshan

Hi,
It is not so easy to learn any ERP when you have not experience. But, if you are technical guy, I suppose to start with some development training.
Now, some advices:
AX is to hard for learning if you have not any ERP knowledge.
If you are from Europe, try with NAV. If you are from US, try with GP (or NAV).
CRM is not ERP. But, if you want it, you can also try with Dynamics CRM.
I am sure that some course will not help you so much to get a ERP job. Except courses, you have to learn and train it more and more. Some company will employee you only if you have some knowledge, not course (or exam).
You have to know some functional modules, because you can not be only technical guy in ERP software, because ERP is not IT; ERP is software for business processes.
If you need advice where to go on some good course, you must tell me where you living.

Getting into SAP

Hi All,
This is Tanveer Ahmed, I am working on Mainframes technology from past 4 years into Healthcare domain, I am interested to get into SAP technology, Please suggest how can i make use of my domain knowledge in SAP industry. Also suggest me the SAP module which drives my domain knowledge further.

Tanveer,
Seeing your work experience it seems that you are a Software Engg by qualification and have worked in the developments arena. If this is correct I would rather suggest you to look for technical positions in SAP(ABAPer) which is a SAP developer position.
Else you can have a look on the Basis option also which is for system maintenance people. The last option is a functional consulatnt but this will need a background of functional experience in the actual functions of business like Sales, Finance, HR etc.
If you have a good domain knowledge of Healthcare industry you may also explore an option of domain expert in the same arean. These days the concept of domain expert is also enticing.
Hope this helps.

Getting into SAP Basis Administration

Hi,
I am interested in getting into SAP BASIS Administration. I am currently working as a Windows System Administrator and have been in the IT industry for over 10yrs and looking for a change somewhat...i have very little programming experience, just some scripting here and there. How difficult is it to get into this area? I live in the U.S. Any companies willing to hire someone for entry level BASIS position or mentor? Thanks.

Hi Zylan,
You can refer the below SAP website for authorized training centres in your country.
https://training.sap.com (Visit 'Training locations')
And for details about BASIS, you can refer the below post (especially refer reply from Kiran Kumar).
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3184501
As I had said earlier, if you wish to start without training then you need to be part of an organisation where SAP is implemented.
Regards,
Ravi

Newbie question - Is it worth getting into SAP ?

Seeing as this is still the only forum where a "Post New Thread" button is locatable, here's my opening question.
I understand it takes study, certification and some years of experience to become a sought-after commodity in SAP.
As an underpaid (never above $A40K) and under-employed IT worker over the past ten years, I've noticed that every time a SAP job is advertised, the salary is quite impressive. The most recent position, for a SAP Consultant, offered $A120K.
To those of you who have been SAPping for a few years :
Are you and your skills in demand in the job marketplace ?
Do you receive reasonable or high pay ?
What combination of study and experience (and connections ?) did it take to reach your current position ?
For someone with broad IT experience, do you consider SAP worth getting into and, if so, by what route do you recommend entry ?
That'll do for a start

hi andrew,
Are you and your skills in demand in the job marketplace ?
Yes, SAP is hot these days, and will be for some years to come.
Do you receive reasonable or high pay ?
When compared to other fields and technical domains, the answer is yes.
What combination of study and experience (and connections ?) did it take to reach your current position ?
You need to have reasonable amount of IT exposure (which you have....!!!!) and a working expeirence in the functional domain is a must to rise. Technical expertise would boost your career great guns. Though after 2- 4 years in SAP , it is preferable to be a functional guy.
For someone with broad IT experience, do you consider SAP worth getting into and, if so, by what route do you recommend entry ?
Yes, it depends upon your type of IT experience. IF you have a good functional experience (say in domains like manufacturing, sales, or finance) pick up a functional module study hard go for certification, and you are there in SAP world.
With technical expertise you need to have good ABAP knowledge, and with netweaver these days JAVA would also do, but with SAP having abap knowledge always helps.
Same route here, study hard and go for certification and gian hands on experience.....and you are there to rock...!!!!
Hope this answers your questions, Do reward

I want to get into Hotmail but it says "Windows Live Network is unavailable from this site."

I have always been able to get into my Hotmail account until about two weeks ago. I updated Mozilla in hopes that this would help but it didn't. The message I get also says that it is unavailable from this site for one of the following reasons - The site is experiencing a problem (but when I try to get into Hotmail from Internet Explorer I have no trouble). OR The site may not be a member of the Windows Live Network - it has always worked before and every once in a while still works. Can anyone help me?

We had a contaminated email and now we cannot send emails . our service provider thinks problem in 'mail' settings but did not want to get into that area. Can you advise how we look into this

we had a contaminated email and now we cannot send emails. Our service provider advises that 'Mail' settings may be compromised. but were not willing to get into resetting. How can this be fixed ?

Not exactly sure what you mean by contaminated, but there is currently no known e-mail that could impact the Apple Mail application as you have described.
Without knowing who your e-mail provider is and what type of account (IMAP or POP3) we can't advise you as to what those settings might be.
One way to fix it would be to delete the account from Apple Mail Preferences->Accounts and add it back.

Want to enter into SAP world

Dear All,
I am a Chemical Engineer with three years of work experience (1.5 year in Petrochemical Manufacturing & 1.5 year in Research & Development). I have done basic survey about SAP (Future Scope, Vertical growth, Challenging Assignments, Whopping Salary etc.) and interested to enter into the SAP world.
I would appreciate if you could guide me in the following:
1)How worth is this decision in view of long term career?
2)Does my profile match for it? which module? (I don't have any software background)
3)If yes, what is the best options out of following:
a) Job search w/o SAP exp.
b) Non-certification training from institute like Reliance Global Services in ~ 50k (affordable)+ preliminary job + good job
c) Certification from authorized institute (3.08 lakh of personal loan)+ Good Job (pay EMI)
d) Non-certification course in ~15 k (To get fundamental understanding+option c)
Your reply would be of great help. I look forward to hearing from you.

hi manoj,
Its a good option to move in to SAP. Its hot right now and will remain so for some time. So no worries on that.
regarding on how to enter, that is completly on u to decide.
Going through ur work X, it would be good if u choose some functional area on which u have worked before. for eg inventory management, or Production planning etc......
And about certification n all, a certified proff is always preffered, but its not mandatory. If u can showcase ur SAP knowledge which ever way u get it, the company will hire u. And if u r good enough, the company itself sponsers u for certification later.
So i think go for a functional module in which u r comfortable with, get the knowledge and post ur resume.......!!!!!
You will get a break.....

I just want to get into the desktop environment!

After recently installing Arch Linux0.7.2 , I am stuck at this "myhost login" screen. I type in root, but all it does is log me into root.
I've googled this issue as "my host login arch linux help" to no avail.
I've added users and passwds for users but am unable to get desktop access.
Is there a command I must know in order to access the desktop environment? Perhaps similar to 'startx' as it is in DamnSmallLinux.I cannot last much longer in this DOS environment where i seem only to be chasing my tail!!!

And in peace we have greeted you. Arch linux is what you make of it. If you need to install a desktop environment than do it.
Most guys prefer only Window Managers. Window manager just manages windows so you just add software you need to have a functional environment. No programs you will never use, just the ones you need.
Most of us like this way.
Arch linux is all about choices...that's why there isn't a complete desktop environment provided by install disks. Not anybody need it. If you need it just install it.
Other guys have provided you the links to information you need. But, if you do not want to learn and get your hands dirty than you should probably choose Ubuntu.
Ubuntu install provides you a functional desktop environment. Most choices are made for you by Ubuntu developers and the desktop environment you obtain is ready and functional.
But chances are that still in Ubuntu linux, sometimes, you will have to read a wiki to make things work. So RTFM is a tip you could get also in Ubuntu forum.
And trust me, nobody cares if you choose Windows ME over Arch linux. It's your system, it's your choice.
If you have real problems that cannot be solved by searching on wiki than ask and plenty of Arch users will try to help you for free.
