Is ABAP tough?

Hi friends,
Iam Gopi Kumaran,MCA graduate working in BPO.I have done 4 years course in aptech too.But somehow i came to BPO.Now Iam moving to SAP.I left Siemens since it is too cost and no assurance in placements.Iam planning to join Navo infotech in chennai and complete ABAP.My plan is that get trained in that center and look for jobs.What do you think guys?Is my plan good?Learning ABAP is tougher or easier,i think anything is easier if we put interest and learn.What will be my package if i go after finishing my ABAP?

Hi,
Welcome to SAP. First let us know how far you are comfortable in programming? Have you done any developments so far?
ABAP is easy. you can learn it easily. but you can get skilled only if you work on it.
i can say practice makes permanent.
Make sure the company which you are going to join gives you many mini projects and make you comfortable in ABAP.
All the best.
Regards,
Niyaz

How to insert a new line item in VA01/VA02 by using ABAP code?

Hi Gurus
i have a very tough requirement. the customer wants to insert a free goods after an item has been populated in VA01/VA02 automatically according to some certain rules. the input material may be a main material of a sales BOM.
for example. let's suppose there is a material A who has two sub-material B and C which is maintained in a sales BOM via CS01/CS02. when the material A has been input in the line item in VA01/VA02, its quantity input and after the ENTER key has been clicked, another material D may be displayed in a new line as a gift if the condition met. the condition relates to customer/material/quanity and these information are stored in a Z-table.
on the other hand, if the material A is only a single material(not a BOM), the gift(material D) will also be filled automatically if the condition met.
i have already enhance the FM cs_bom_explosion to filfill the requirment for BOM materials. whereas it is very hard to find the enhanment point for the single material.
so my question is where is the correct place for me to insert the ABAP code, which decides whether the gift should be given or not and furthermore inserts the new line item into XVBAP. i tried to use MV45AFZZ, whereas the data is always inconsistant if a new line has been inserted. it is very strange that there is no temperary internal table storing line item data input in the table controal of VA01/VA02. system reads the line item data , line by line, via a system kernal function call.
any hints are welcome. thanks

HI Stephen,
I have the same prolem. I modified the 5 global tables, but I don't see the new line in the screen.
Can you help me with some details?
Thx!

1)so how should i proceed to get a proper break through in this domain.
2)When is the Peak time for doing this course.
3)Is Master Degree Essential to get a break through in SAP ABAP.I have B.Sc IT
4)is Genovate /Bangalore / Mumbai is a proper place to get a breakthrough in SAP ABAP
Thanks and Regards
Samit Sarkar

Hello,
Welcome to the world of SAP ABAP! There is plenty of work at the moment, so you've chosen a good time to start.
I've been doing it for over 10 years, and I would recommend it to anybody.
As for your questions:
1) The best way to break into ABAP is do the courses BC400 and BC401. Then try to find a job where you can gain experience
2) These courses are held all the time
3) No special degree is required, you just need to know how to program BEFORE you try to learn ABAP
4) SAP is used all over the world, so don't worry about specific locations
Once you have done the training and have some on-the-job experience, then you should try to achieve certification.
hope this helps

Webdynpro Java and Webdynpro ABAP

hi all,
Im working in webdynpro java. Im confused about WD java and WD ABAP. which one we should select for what? And now a days people are telling that SAP is coming up all business packages in WD ABAP. Is it true? Which one is better either WD Java or ABAP?
Thanks,
J.Smitha.

Smitha,
It's tough question to answer. Which one to choose either Web Dynpro java or Web Dynpro ABAP , it depends on which technology you are comfortable. In relation to the business packages SAP already provided allmost all of them in java and in the future all the Business packages also available in ABAP. It's all how you want to develop the application. In sap portal world some applciation which we can develop with ABAP Web Dynpro and some applications with JAVA Web Webdynpro as SAP Web AS available as dual stack.
If someone already has a strong ABAP background and has WD for ABAP available they should probably use that. If they are a J2EE developer they should probably use WD for Java but it is likely they will also then need some ABAP support for the backend systems.
I think more customers may be asking for WD for Java projects simply because it has been around longer and is more widely available to customers where as some cutomers prefer to develop their application using ABAP Web Dynpro because of SAP propritary. But ultimately it's again all our interest and customer.
Thanks

Need info about c_taw12 abap certification exam

Hi All,
I have 3 years of experience in SAP ABPA and i would like to write the ABAP c_taw12 exam. Can any body please let me know what is producer to apply? What are the exam criteria (mean experience)? Please provide me more detail information about the ABAP certification exam.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Kannan

<b>http://www.sap.com/asia/services/education/centres/index.epx</b>
You can contact the education center nearest to ur location, they would guide you how to apply.
They generally ask for 1 year working expereince in the company from which u r applying, but its not mandatory. If u r company sponsred, then no such pre-requisites.
If u have 3 years exp in ABAP then clearing the certification wont be that tough, just follow the 5 books that SAP provides. The certification tests the conceptual knowledge of the candidate.
<b>Hope this is helpful.</b>

Delete Role Assignments directly from an ABAP System

Hi folks!
I'm working on a synchronization job and I have a particular challenge, delete Roles assigned to a user in the ABAP System.
Our use case is this: IDM is regarded as the authoritative source and as such if the user has a privilege in IDM, it should be in the backend. Easy enough!
However if the privilege is not in IDM but is in the back-end, it needs to be removed. Is there a way to do this in IDM? From what I saw in the Framework, we are assuming that the role already exists in IDM.
I suppose the work around would be to assign and then remove the matching privilege in IDM, but I really don't like that at all, for a number of reasons.
I looked in the business suite and plain ABAP portions of the framework. I'll take a more detailed look and also check the RDS, but I get the feeling this will be a toughie.
Thanks for your help!
Matt

Hello Matt,
so you want to remove local administrated role?
If the object really is to undo the local administration, I would do this:
Create a batch job, the passes would be a FromSAP, a ToGeneric and one/two ToSAP
At first a cleaning pass (the ToGeneric one) which fixes all incorrect assigned privs (re-add directly or remove, depends on what you want/need). The source tab query and destination tab script have to be written though (I guess that is the most time consuming part of the job during implementation)
The pending privs have to be considered in the provisioning script (I would prefer our own written script over the SAP delivered anytime)
Copy the Read ABAP pass for users. Remove everything but the logonuid and the role assignments (profile assignments only if needed, too). Maybe use a different table name like sap<repName>userAssignRecon. If the system is very large, this pass has to be optimized filters
Copy the role provisioning pass from the in-use plugin (SAP or adjusted one) and adjust it like this:
Source tab query: A query which selects all mskeys of users that have more assigned in the sap table as in the link view. Using the Identity Store so everything of the identity is selected
Destination tab: Remove the profiles as you haven't mentioned them. If needed I would do the same for profiles as for the roles in a second pass with the profileAssign table.
Best regards
Dominik

SAP Tech e.g. ABAP for people with non IT Background

My current position: I am a BA graduate. Working in BPO for years though i never want. I know multimedia works in ADOBE softwares like motion picture editing, compositing & designing etc. That was a hobby but couldn't turn that into a career because of very limited scopes and less salary.
My current aim: Now planning to make my career in SAP tech like ABAP as i m interested more into developing, programming works. After a lot of search, I atleast got to know that career is good into SAP ABAP (if I am not wrong).
My query: Can I do SAP tech like ABAP and make a career as I have no IT background. If ther is any course prerequisite to be done like programming/ coding etc. before doing a SAP ABAP module. Please let me know. I'd be thankful for any detailed reply or beginning steps.
Please help me make my career....
Regards,
Bryan

Developer jobs always look glamorous and attractive, specially for the non-developers. Anyone who wants to be a ABAP developer should have to make a wise and informed decision to avoid dissapointment.
Here you have to keep in mind two things
1) Firstly will you be able to master the subject
2) Second how practical is it to get a job, after learning abap.
I feel that if someone has not gone through any kind of programming syntax & pl/sql programming earlier in their career, its going to be a pretty tough thing to be good at abap.
This is totally subjective question <and we dont know much of ure background>, its better u discuss it with some ABAP consultants face to face.
Hope it helps.

SAP ABAP certificate revoke

On 23rd December 2013 I joined SAP ABAP training at Atos india pvt. ltd., Mumbai and completed my training on 24th January 2014 under guidance of Mr. Harsha. after completion of my training I prepare for my certification exam and on 7th February 2014 I had given my exam and passed with 90%.
On 18th march 2014 after 40 days of certification exam I got mail from SAP AG
‘Dear Mr. Mehta,
We are sorry to inform you that, due to exam irregularities, we are forced to withhold your certification for the exam you took on Feb 7, 2014 at ATOS Mumbai. We are however happy to be able to give you the opportunity to retake the exam free of charge. Please contact our colleagues at SAP Education India to obtain a scheduled date for your retake opportunity.
We wish you every success with your retake.
Best regards,
Sue Martin
Senior Director - Global Certification
SAP ’
I was shock after reading this mail, two of the batch-mates have not been issued re-examination who scored below 85%. We contacted SAP (India) personals via email and call but we have not been provided with any info as in why this action is been taken and they force us for re-examination after 2 months of certification exam without any server access by just remembering 4 ABAP books.
On 10th April 2014 I re-appeared for the exam and they played with us by setting up the test which is usually has to set for the SAP Experience professionals but not for the fresher’s like us. only 1 lady passed that exam with just 1% above passing marks who has working experience in industry and rest all other 17 students are failed in re-exam.
Also then 3 students who were failed with us were provided certificates even though they were failed in 2nd attempt with us.
The reason stated to us was exam irregularities which is still (after 6 months ) not been explained to us.
Also as per SAP India, when I asked to them about the scenario they just reply that its our bad luck. So does SAP Certification is calculated on luck basis.
If it was not the test takers mistake then how can SAP AG or SAP India blame us and to add to it they have takes 6 months and still we have no Certificates in hand. My whole career is at stakes.
Now again I am being forced to give exam, I am full of confidence that I can crack the exam as per my preparation but I am lacking trust.
Also I am unable to understand why the people who scored below 85% which were my batch mates were issued the certificates. Is scoring high above 85% is crime in SAP.
With no proper reason for 6 months, i am totally frustrated. The next batch after me from my center also scored above 90% so why were they not put to re-test. For us the 2nd attempt was like a professional level paper in which some questions were out from the books that were provided to me.
I still request SAP to release my Certificate, as they have released three of the batch mates from my center even though they failed as Ms Susan Martin herself confessed that the 2nd attempt paper was tough and totally practical based with 6 months of long time and they were favoured so why not me ?
I am getting company offers but I am just short of my certificate thus i have the necessary skills need for the Certificate and I deserve it as I have already cleared my exam.
Also SAP India says that every decision is taken by SAP AG. So I also request SAP India to take a stand and release my Certificate as we had already had a conversation several times.

Respected Sir/Ma'am,
          Today I completed six months after joining SAP course on 9th December 2013 last year. I gave my exam on 7th February 2014 which was the extended 2 weeks date from scheduled date so that I can prepare better for such a huge investment career.
          I gave my exam on 7th February 2014 and my hard work paid me and I cleared my exam in first attempt itself. In 6th week when I was expecting my certificate in hand I received a mail stating that I had to reappear my exam as there were irregularities in exam. I and my batch mates were shocked and thought that somebody is playing a joke with us. I called SAP India Education Head in Bangalore and she said that its a direct decision from Germany AG team in Germany. I just asked her to explain meaning of exam irregularities but she just replied us that even she doesn't know anything about this.
Not satisfied with her answer we communicated with SAP Mumbai business Head he also was unable to explain the exact cause of re-exam. me and my batch mates had decided not to give re-exam in any case as it was not a case of cheating from our side and it was just exam irregularity which was not our concern.
          But SAP India asked us to give the exam saying that its not test takers fault and definitely the exam will be cracked by us. Also they told us that same level exam will be conducted. Suddenly we got the exam date 20 days before the exam date which was on 10th April 2014. We left everything (searching jobs , giving interview, etc.) aside and again we started preparing for our exam though passing in 1st attempt keeping in mind that it may just be the same level test as it was not test takers fault.
          On 10th April 2014 our exam was scheduled which was Thursday (instead the exam takes place on Fridays only), 16 students failed and only 1 passed (the test takers were actually a group of three batches with 17 candidates) with just 61% just one percent above the passing marks and also she was a professional from esteemed company. We were totally confused and deep sorrow. Since from 10th April 2014 till date today we are not clear with what exact forensics SAP AG team is forcing us to give the exam again. It is crystal clear that though there is not any mistake of test taker we are being forced to give the exam again.
           In second attempt exam though everybody failed 3 students who were actually failed were declared passed stating that the exam was tough and completely practical based. The only difference between me and those students was the difference of just 2 correct answers but we bolt were actually failed. They were favored then why not us ?
           I am from a middle class family. I have paid 3.70 lac on loan basis and again paying 30 k for the next attempt is tough job for my family. I really want to know is there any other course where somebody is failed or treated guilty only on the basis that he/she scores high percentage.
           I am very confident that I have the required skills and still sure that I will crack the any test but I am lacking trust.
           I still want SAP to take all the conditions under consideration and release our certificate as I really deserve it because i have worked hard for it. I have received an offer letter for SAP ABAP Consultant post in one of esteemed company in India and this proves that definitely I have the required skills to work on a live system.
           Providing us the certificate which we already deserve for our 1st attempt will definitely release pressure on our minds.
Regards,
Akshay.

Teched-08 - ABAP Cerification

Hi Friends,
I am registering for Teched-08 and planning to appear for SAP ABAP Certification.
I am having the course Materials TAW10 & TAW12.
I have couple of doubts regarding the Certification :
1> How is Teched Certification exam different from those after training(fresher)? As this is for experienced persons..will it be somehow tougher..? I am little afraid as i am not getting time after office hours for study of these materials..
2> Will TAW10 & TAW12 will be enough for preparation?
3> Can i have some sites where i can practice for simulation tests or get Certification questions to prepare?
Waiting for your reply...
Thanks,
SAM.

Hi Sam,
As per my understanding there is another materials that you have to go through for this certification:TAW11 (which is e-learning)
1> How is Teched Certification exam different from those after training(fresher)? As this is for experienced persons..will it be somehow tougher..? I am little afraid as i am not getting time after office hours for study of these materials..
Its all about covering the syllabus provided by SAP for this certification. If you have gone through all the materials required for this certification, you are thru with the certification.
2> Will TAW10 & TAW12 will be enough for preparation?
You may need TAW11 (have a cross check on it)
3> Can i have some sites where i can practice for simulation tests or get Certification questions to prepare?
As already mentioned in previous reply , tehre is no site for demo test.
Thanks,
Subhash
