Is BI in demand today ?

I want to learn SAP and would like to get it into the module that is in demand at present or would be in future. I am particularly interested in a module that involves Techinical and Funcational aspects.
how is SCM or CRM doing?
Thanks for your replies.

Rob,
From my understanding of the SAP employment market and what i read, it seems that the current trend is going towards SAP XI (exchange Infrastructure) in the technical side of the house and SAP SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) in the functional one.
SAP Customers are starting to discover the great benefits of XI, which is the cornertone of the ESOA strategy.
As per your question, i believe that SCM (SD, MM, PP) will always be in demand as well as CRM but both of them do not include too much technical work.
Also Business Intelligence can be an option, as it involves technical and functional sides. The thing with BI is that breaking to the market is difficult, as most of SAP customers already realized their benefits from BW, and the number of new implementations is relatively low.
sapcookbook.com reviews the SAP labor market and send stats on trends in the market. I recommend that you'll join their mailing list.
With all that said, the question is really what YOU feel is better for you. A well paid job with no spiritual satisfaction is totally useless...
Hope you find my suggestions helpful, (points are welcome),
Gili

  • Show On Demand Getting Cut Off By Commercials

    Hi, I was trying to watch the most recent episode of Sons of Anarchy on demand today.  In the middle of the scene before the commercials each time, the show was cut off mid-scene for the commercials.  When it returned, it came back to the next scene, thereby skipping part of the episode. This is extremely frustrating; I even missed the end of the episode.

    Had the very same problem, very same show, 2 days ago. Without warning, a commercial will suddenly appear mid-scene (mid-dialogue even), and the show will then resume well past where it left off. It appears the ads are cutting in before they're supposed to, overwriting up to 60 seconds of show that would normally make up the end of each segment. I rely on OnDemand to keep caught up with this and many other shows. I'm willing to accept the lack of FF as a necessary evil, but "blacking out" entire parts of the show essentially renders OnDemand useless, which I have a hard time believing Comcast would do for the sake of a few extra ads. Please tell me there's a fix for this...

    Hi Leon,
    Thanks for your quick revert, but just wondering if Banking domain is good for FI/Co, as I guess it has more to do with Finance and not Retail Banking, I in the mean time searched another Module for Banking Industry called IS- Banking..I think, this module will be in line with the Banking Exp but whats the demand of this module in Banking sector that has to be seen!!
    Thanks for your help!

  • Error 400 quicktime

    I been trying to use the audio on ichat and i am getting an bandwith error(not enough bandwith error) Also I try to play the Apple Streaming video and I am getting a Quicktime disconnect 40 error. Is there any connection? and what do I do to fix this problem?

    It then says in the window near the bottom "Connecting" "Waiting for media" with a time, and then "Switching Transports" (This may be wrong, it goes by very fast), then with a time of 00:00:00, stops with Web Acceleration Client Error (400.3).
    After a few Google searches for "Web Acceleration Client Error" and "Web Acceleration" DirecTV I get the impression that Web Acceleration is a service that DirecTV and other satellite and DSL companies provide to their customers to ... well, accelerate web access. And from the error you're getting, it looks like this is the source of the problem, not Safari or QuickTime themselves.
    Considering that the keynote would have had very high-demand today, there's a chance this was just a temporary glitch, in combination with DirecTV's Web Acceleration. Or it could be that Web Acceleration doesn't play nicely with streamed QuickTime content or that particular stream....

  • GNC Manager demanded to see my ID in order to make a purchase today with my VISA.

    I went to GNC today, ive been to this location a couple times never had an issue like this. I went to the counter with my item, one guy came over asked me if i wanted to buy another tub of protein because its buy one get one half. Then asked me if i wanted to become a GNC member for $15. I said no thank you. Then the manager comes over, and hes like "i got this ill ring him up." Then proceeds to ask me the same exact questions the previous sales person did. Again i said no thank you. He scans the item, i pull out my wallet, shuffle through 4 cc's pull out my freedom. I notice him looking the whole time. I swiped and then he started demanding to see some ID. I said no, why should i have to show you ID? 'Ive never had to show ID to make a purchase anywhere. Ive been here before why do i have to show ID now? He then tells me its company policy, and how credit card companies require it. I told him "Thats not true, thats how you lose your visa license." He then says something idiotic "Well AMEX requires we ID everyone thats how it is." I started laughing at him "I told him you really dont want me to call AMEX and tell them you are requiring ID for purchases, they will call you so fast, dont do it." I told him i dont want to complain but he really should look it up, because this is how you lose your merchant license with them.. He just looked at me pissed when i kept refusing.  He then said whatever, and rang me up. This was a manager by the way. I was pretty shocked. Im not really sensitive or touchy, but i felt like i was being discriminated against. Im a mid 20s black guy with a beard and I had on a baseball cap. Im wondering if he felt i was scamming him or something. I dont know. A gentleman was serviced before me, he swiped his card and was not asked for ID. Again im normally not sensitive, but i cant ignore the feeling. Debating if i should report them to VISA. Or call GNC corporate.  Have you been asked to see ID to make a purchase before on an unrestricted item?

    maybe im sensitive as well but id call, ive bought items from them before and i have not been Id. and especially if the person before you had not been idYeah im going to think about it may call GNC corporate and Visa tomorrow.  I used to be a cashier in retail, and i never carded anyone, nor was there ever a reason to.  In my mind i can only see it as a form of discrimination. Maybe i didnt look like someone who would use a credit card.  Creditfan1234 wrote:
    This happened to me at a merchant once and it took me for suprise. I like you haven't been asked for ID and it was a very small amount. The cashier told me it was because i hadnt signed my card on the back. Odd.At first i quickly assumed it was this also when i walked away, but i the terminal requires you to swipe yourself, so the manager never really saw or touched my card. There is only one place I (occasionally) shop where this happens on a regular basis... and it's Wal-Mart.  Every single time you go through the line with a cashier, even for a $5 sale, they make you pull out your ID, and they actually take the time to 'study' it to make sure the name is an exact match (my name is lengthy and a bit unusual, so this always takes at least a few seconds).  It's not the end of the world, but what really annoys me is that if I go through the self-checkout, just a few feet away, no ID is required of anybody!  For the life of me I cannot figure out the logic in this, since of course anybody actually using a stolen card would simply go through the self-checkout and avoid the problem altogether.  As annoying as it is I try to remember it's not the cashier's fault; they're simply doing what the store management tells them to do.  I guess if it allows the management to sleep better at night a few seconds out of my day isn't that big of a deal.  For what it's worth, I'm a 40-ish white guy, so I don't think it's a racial thing, at least in my case.  Honestly, I would bristle a bit myself if I had shopped somewhere multiple times and suddenly I was being told of this new 'policy'.  Even at Wal-Mart where I've gotten used to it, it makes me feel as if they think I'm a criminal, and nobody likes that feeling, especially when you just want to pay for your paper towels.

  • Game of Thrones - Season 2 - shouldn't it be on demand as of today?

    Hi, i am am wondering why game of thrones season 2 is not on demand?  I finally got my wife into it and we watched season 1 last week,  it was advertised on our sky box in the description for one of the specials that season 2 would be on demand as of the 1st January......... And it is now the first of January and behold,  no Game of Thrones season 2!!! could you please advise on when it will be available? Regards Carl

    Hello Graham, I can help you with that question and it does appear to be backed up by other forum members quotes within this very topic.During the Christmas holidays there was avaialble on demand a prece program of the first season. The information provided by the "i" button declared that Series 2 would be available on demand as of 1st Jan 2015. Obviously that hasn't happened and the declaration I speak of has now been removed. So someone at SKY must have known of the error!!!!!!!!! It is a really shocking indictment of SKY to attract new viewers to this excellent program ( myself included) whilst wrongly giving them the on screen knowledge that the following series i.e. series 2 would be available  immmediately after the new year. to follow on their viewing SKY really does deserve any cancelled subscriptions it causes.SKY will no doubt lose out in the long run by it's customers moving to other outlets to complete the viewing of the series but that is their well deserved loss. However to expect loyal customers to remain when this hasn't been addressed before now is totally inexscusable.

  • I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac.  Any suggestions?

    I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. The drive is not listed in Disk Utility.  Any suggestions?

    Is the computer in you equipment line:
    Dual Core Intel Xenon
    (which is not a PowerMac but a Mac Pro) the one you are asking about, or do you have an older PowerMac?
    If a Mac Pro, their forums are here:
    Mac Pro
    and, as Mac Pros have a totally different architecture from the pre-2005 Macs this forum covers, you may not have the same issues that can affect the older models. If someone didn't notice your equipment line, you could get advice that doesn't apply.
    If you really have a pre-2005 PowerMac, read on.
    If the stubborn external is USB and does not have its own power brick (i.e., it gets power only from the computer's UBS ports--"bus powered"), it may not be getting enough power. As electric motors age, they can demand more power than when new, and the power available on any USB port is limited.
    The typical workabouts to making a computer recognize an aging, bus-powered USB drive are:
    Get a powered USB hub (has its own power brick
    Get a "Y" USB cable: 1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    The second gets power from two USB ports on the computer and often that's enough.
    Remember that the USB ports on your keyboard seldom provide enough power even for a thumb drive, so be sure to use the USB ports on the back of the computer.

  • How To Run a Parameterized Report Stored in Crystal Enterprise on demand

    I have been integrating into Crystal Enterprise 10 for  many years now with no problem.  We use .net to schedule and run reports as well some administration tasks.  Users can view reports through our asp.net web application using the crystal viewers.
    However, I now have a task that requires us to run a report that is stored in CE on demand.  This can NOT be done through the viewer because it will not have direct user interaction.  The crystal report has to be bundled with other documents and then displayed to the user in a single PDF.  I have everything working right now if the report has already been scheduled and ran through CE.
    What I can't figure out to do is how to actually run the report in CE on demand and immediately get the results back.  I can't schedule it (even for immediate running) because I can't have it backed up in the job server queue.  If the report was local on the machine that Integerate with CE, I think it is as simple as loading document, setting parameters, and calling refresh.  However, I need this to happen in CE with the RAS or PageServer server.  In other words, the execution of the report needs to occur on server and I need the end results.
    I have scoured the Net looking for an example but everything either talks about scheduling through Job server or on demand through the viewer.
    Hopefully someone can help.

    Thanks for the answer Elaine, but I am still not quite there.
    We already had interactive on-demand report viewing working through our web app.
    The problem is that I need non-interactive on-deman report running.  Let me explain the process a little more to help paint the picture of the process we have.
    1.  While working in our application, the user selects an "information dump" on the selected the employee.  This dump is information from a number of different places and document types.
    2.  The application then goes to each of these different information areas and converts the information to PDF format.
    3.  Application stitches all the individual PDF files into a single PDF which is what is returned to the user via the web application.  The delivery mechanism cannot change due to requirement limitations.
    Currently, the information is coming from multiple MS Word mailmerge documents merged "on-the-fly" with data for the employee and a stored HTML worksheet that is also converted to PDF.
    We now have to add a PDF version of 2 reports that are ran when the user requests the information dump. 
    I already have the code to connect to CE and get a reference to the RASReportFactory.  We do this today using the interactive viewer.  However, we use the viewer to display reports that have already been scheduled and ran.  This means we simply make a call to RASReportFactory.OpenReportSource to get the source for the viewer.
    We now can't have a viewer in this process.  I found the call to the method OpenDocument on RASReportFactory to get a handle to a ReportClientDocument.
    I know how to properly set the values for the report arguments as well as the database information.
    What I don't see is a method to tell it to run the report.  I see Save and SaveAs but this simply saves the document by to CE or to a local file with the changes I made to parms and db info. 
    What do I call to tell it to execute the report so I can turn around and export it to PDF?  Thats the million dollar question.
