    Is it necessary for a BO Consultant to have knowledge on BI as a BI consultant does.? Are BI and BO both independent platforms.? What kind of BI knowledge is required to develop BO dashboards ?

    This is purely Depend on Company Environment .
    1.develop the BI reports using the 'Query Designer' : BI Consultant Responsibility.
    2.or will it be prepared by the BI consultant separately. : BI Bex queries can be designed by BI Consultant's only.
    3. if prepared by the BI consultant then upto what extent BO consultant should have knowledge in BI   :  Need to understand first difference b/w BI Reporting naming convention & BO Naming convention's ,
       Need to  understand complexity of the report , Need to check some reporting functionalities won't support in BO what ever created in BEX
    Kindly refer below doc's : Provides detail explanation   From BI to BO all Possibilities  .

    4. or BO and BI consultants need to talk with each other everyday basis  : Depends on Complexity of the Reports.
    5.Is it necessary for BO consultant to have all credential access( for BI Development in SAP Easy          Access Menu) of what the BI consultants have and do it. : Not mandatory
    6. are BI and BO consultants interdependent on each other if source is SAP BI for dashboards : Sometimes if requirement is complex (BO & BI data doesn't  matches ,then sometimes customer exit variables might create in BI not able to replicate , some times complex calculation created in BI Using some  bex query Function's)

  • Webdynpro for ABAP vs WD for Java

    How different is WD for ABAP from WD for Java?
    I have a good knowledge of WD for Java and I know ABAP. But how good and efficient is WD for ABAP? Would it be better to use WD for ABAP or WD for Java for SAP based portal development?
    Thanks in advance,
    Reena

    <i>
    1. We can embedd the Web Dynpro for ABAP applications in SAP screens in ABAP environment. I don't think it is possible using java web dynpro.
    </i>
    Yes, you probably can, since the application can be fired simply by a URL, there is not reason that you couldn't have an HTML control in your dynpro and point to this URL. 
    To answer the original question,  the development model for each is pretty much the same, just two different flavors.  I think that some things make WDA better, one being that it is totally integrated into the ABAP development workbench and the Transport/change control system.  On the WDJ side, you development locally and "deploy" your changes using the DTR and CBS.  I'm not exactly comfortable with this quite yet, which is why I like WDA better..
    Another thing is that we have some built in stuff with WDA, like automatic search help functionality,  ALV Grid, and Select-option functionality.  I do believe that SAP is working on some of these for WDJ.

  • How web dynpro abap is used for snc

    Hi folks,
               I am new to web dynpro abap.Some one told we can upgrade snc from lower version to higher version but i dont have any knowledge on snc.For upgrading snc what we must have 2 know. How web dynpro abap is used for upgrading snc.Pls provide any links related to web dynpro abap with snc.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Ravidanda,
    I have found a link that provides some information on how Web Dynpro ABAP is used in SAP SNC in the SAP Help. Here you go:

  • Need abap documenation specifically for SAP BW only.

    Hi,
    I want to learn abap specifically for SAP BW only...How much abap should i know to do bw work....and where i can find documentation of abap related to sap bw 3.5 and 7.0 version.
    Regards
    Yogee.

    HI
    generally we used the ABAP code to write Start Routines, End Routines or Individual Update Routines also exits which include variable exits.
    If you are totally unaware of the programing languages then better start learing ABAP with basic statements includes IF ELSE LOOP CASE ENDCASE etc.
    And then switch to learn how to use this statement to develop the logic.
    In BI, the basic knowledge of ABAP is sufficient, u need not go for deep and detail study, belive me its easier than BI.
    Go to ABAP forum check for any good ABAP learning materail and start working on that.
    Any query please revert back. send ur mail id to me, if possible ll send u some document for ABAP.
    Thank-You.
    Regards,

  • No Knowledge of ABAP, Can I learn SAP NETWEAVER XI ?

    Dear Friends,
    I do not have any experience or knowledge about ABAP.
    Can I learn XI or I MUST definitely learn ABAP first before I proceed to learn XI.
    Some people at various institutes told me to learn CA- Cross Applications and that would be enough.
    Please post your suggestions......
    Thanks and regards,

  • Is A Technical Consultant Necessary For eCATT Tool ?

    Hello All,
    eCATT being the functional testing tool, business scenarios are tested via it. The tool is also designed in a very user-friendly manner.
    Is technical consultants (ABAPers) intervention MANDATORY for the successful usage and execution of eCATT scripts.
    PS Jonathan, your comments will be appericable on this matter.
    Regards
    Message was edited by: SAP Developer

    In my opinion, yes - you will need some technical expertise to create worthwhile test scripts.
    But now for the long answer...
    Anyone who has taken a look at eCATT will have had the first impression that it is a technical tool - it looks a lot like an IDE, for example. Nevertheless, it would be possible to coach a non-technical user to be able to create a recording of a transaction that they know well.
    This is, of course, only the first stage of creating the script: You then have to parameterize the input/output fields, set the desired checks, ensure that the scripts are created at the correct granularity to ensure maximum re-use and so on and so forth...
    My suggestion would be a collaborative approach - end users can play an important role in specifying the scope of a test case - they can even sit down with a test expert and do the recording with them (since the test automation expert will probably not know the application all that well if at all) - but the technical expert will probably have to take over when it comes to refining the recording and chaining the scripts together.
    Should this expert be an ABAP developer? Not necessarily. A test automation expert can be anyone who is not afraid to engage with a programming environment. Sure, a basic knowledge of ABAP helps, but a basic knowledge of any programming language at all would be helpful, IMO.

    Kindly help me.
    Kannan

    hi,
    ? First log on to SAP R/3 server connections Go to SCC4 in R/3 & in Scc4 BW server. A screen opens in that logical name of the system would be opened in both (R/3 & BW).
    ? Take notepad in it save .R/3 & BW logical names go to R/3 & click SM59 to create R/3 connections click then a screen opens gives BW logical name in RFC Destination option & give connection. type 3 & give some description & then press enter.
    ? You will get another screen under it then at target host gives BW server name we will get it from BW logon change ID, IP address option & give the system no. The system no go to logon pad just drag it then you will see the name.
    ? Then click on log on securities go to log on give BW server details like No, client user Password. Then save it then click test connection tab if there are errors then it gives yellow color if they are no error the whole thing come as white.
    ? Then click on the Remote Logon then we go to BW server give RFC – SM59 & click create. Then give the server name which is at the bottom right corner give it then give the no, name, password in logon Security save it & test connection & then remote logon.
    ? R/3 - B W - R/3
    ? Logical connection source system connection is used to transfer the data from R/3 to BW. Go to BW system& click RSA1 go to source system option go to top to the source systems right click on it. Then click create then a screens opens then.
    ? PC ?Flat file , DB ? Database
    ? Select the option manual then a screen appears RFC Destination, Logical source name then click OK then it goes to opens other screen save it test connection then remote login then it go back to the then a screen opens then click only activate.

  • Is model view(BD64) necessary for EDI

    is model view created using BD64 necessary for a EDI transactions? I have created a logical system, a RFC destination and a EDI File Port.
    After all this i am trying to push a material master data using BD10 to the file port. When i do that the system gives me a message saying that master idoc created but it does not create a communication idoc. Only if i have a Model view set up in BD64 it creates a communication idoc. So my question is do we need a model view for EDI configuration?
    ~Suresh

    Hi,
    BD64 is required for master data distribution..
    If you are having a interface that sends IDOCs to the customer or receive IDOCs from the vendor..You don't require BD64 setup..
    Thanks,

    But the newest Mac notebooks do not have a firewire port.
    So he may need a TB to FW adapter, $29, a FW 400 or 800 cable, $??, and then a FW 400 to 800 cable/port adapter (If the old Mac only has a FW 400 port), $??.
    It is unknown if the old Mac has a FW 400 or 800 port.

  • I am running windows XP professional X64 Edition and it is necessary for me to instll Adobe reader 9

    I am running windows XP profession X64 edition and it is necessary for me to install and use Adobe reader 9.  Please advise procedure(s)

    If you're NEVER going to EVER open a PDF, then no, it wouldn't be necessary. But you're going to be in an extremely rare set of circumstances if that's going to be the case.
    Otherwise, you'll need it, and Reader 11 works with XP Pro.

  • ABAP runtime error for 0CRM_OPPT_H and I while running RSA3

    hello Gurus,
         I'm having problems while running RSA3 transaction for these data sources.
    0CRM_OPPT_H
    0CRM_OPPT_I
    0CRM_SALES_ACT_1
    0CRM_SALES_ACT_I.
    I'm getting ABAP runtime error for these.
    This is the error:
    Runtime Error          CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_TAB_TYP
    Exception              CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE
    I tried finding OSS notes for these, but I didn’t succeed.
    I activated the data source from RSA5, and then I tried RSA3. That time I got “Errors occurred during extraction”.
    After that I activated delta at BWA5, then I started getting runtime error.
    Even though I activated at BWA5, I am not able to see the data sources at BWA7.
    Am I missing any thing…please guide me through this….
    Thanks

    Thanks for your replay... All the DS and related tables are active..
    But wen I tried to re-generate the DS again... this is the warning I'm getting... Any idea why I'm getting this....
    The even-numbered length of the DEC field SAMPLE_QTY_ALLOW can lead to problems
    <b>Message no. R8569</b>
    <b>Diagnosis</b>
    You want to use the field SAMPLE_QTY_ALLOW in the extract structure for DataSource 0CRM_OPPT_I. This field has a field of type 'DEC' (or 'CURR' or 'QUAN') with an even number of characters.
    This can create problems since the length resulting from calculations in ABAP (for example, in extractors or Customer Exits for extraction) is too large to be inserted in the database later (PSA in BW), causing a short dump.
    <b>Procedure</b>
    This warning is only relevant when the maximum length of this field is exceeded during extraction, for example when the field is expanded in the Customer Exit through a calculation.
    More information and a remedy can be found in SAP Note 641744.
    When I search the OSS note, SAP suggesting to apply 883310 note.
    In my company we are using CRM 4.0 servie pak8. SAP suggsting to install service pak 11, but my client is not interested to upgrade to 11 as CRM people are working on service pak 8.
    By any chance we can use specific note which change the ABAP code to solve this problem... Please give me some suggetions...
    Thanks
