Best Practice to start with SAP NetWeaver BI (BW) to become a BI consultant

Hi there,
I have one Question. As consultant for SAP NetWeaver Portal (Development/Java), I would like to start with SAP NetWeaver BI (System Configuration, Customizing and Development with ABAP/ABAP OO) through e-learning and/or with (e)books.
A system for making practice is available.
Can someone give me a helpful guide how to start and become a BI Consultant for system administration and development within the next 12 months?
Some Questions I have noticed are:
1) The system (application) environment of BI (what is integrated in it - e. g. within the portal, there is a storage for unstructured information like documents or virtual rooms for collaboration between departments - and what does it make)
2) How does development in BI works (development environment, coding, debugging, building, deployment and test) and what is used stronger (ABAP or ABAP OO)? Here, I don't mean how to write ABAP or ABAP OO programs, only the infrastructure from development to transport to a target system
3) How is a BI system to configure as default after installation?
4) Good guides (e/books) to learn ABAP and ABAP OO (as far as possible oriented on the practive)
Of course, these are only a few Question and far from complete. Details and other important points will be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Cengiz

Hi,
1) The system (application) environment of BI (what is integrated in it - e. g. within the portal, there is a storage for unstructured information like documents or virtual rooms for collaboration between departments - and what does it make)
Document management from RSA1 transaction of BI helps to attach any unstructured documents at specific level in BI.
2) How does development in BI works (development environment, coding, debugging, building, deployment and test) and what is used stronger (ABAP or ABAP OO)? Here, I don't mean how to write ABAP or ABAP OO programs, only the infrastructure from development to transport to a target system
BI has got a separate tool and GUI to perform all the Extract, Transform and load related activities. ABAP is part of BI but you don't need much extensive ABAP learning. Basic ABAP is sufficient to write routines and extractors.
3) How is a BI system to configure as default after installation?
May be a BASIS person can help you out here about the configuration but this is not the job of BI person.
4) Good guides (e/books) to learn ABAP and ABAP OO (as far as possible oriented on the practive)
You can search for SAM Series learn ABAP in 24 days book. This book is sufficient to learn the ABAP required for working in BI.
But except ABAP you will have to completly learn the BI system to work efficiently.

How best to transform a SAP end user to a consultant ???

After working as a SAP SD consultant,I realized a need for training SAP aspirants.But,focused only on a few SAP end users locally in Hyd, as the jargon
and concepts were best suited for end users who work on live data ! Today with 10+ yrs SAP recruiting experience, I wish to address this national demand (in India firstly) by locating near the end users community / location ( North India).
I am open to valuable suggestions / inputs related to training content ex: ASAP methodology ?
Regards.
DESH

Hi Desh,
There are lot of documents available in SAP Service Marketplace if you have S user id. If you have already done a certification or working for implementation partner then you get this S user id to login into SAP Service Marketplace.
SAP ASAP methodology comes with SAP Solution Manager, so you can check through SAP Solution Manager this ASAP methodology.
In India, All CMMI level companies have their own delivery methodologies as per my knowledge, so 90% of the time they won't adopt SAP ASAP methodology... Either they go with Client methodology or sell their own implementation or support methodologies or different framework.
At the outset, it is not mandatory to have this but if you have knowlege in delivery methodology framework like Waterfall, Scrum, Agile that would be added advantage.

Junior SAP MM

Hi
I just finished training in SAP MM and i'm looking for a Junior SAP MM position in Canada. I've 6 years of functional experience, not in SAP environment. So far i've developed considerable configuration skills in this module. how should i present my resume and also get companies willing to take me?
Rash

Hi Rasham,
If u can spend money on getting certified then it would be an advantage. Since u dont have SAP experience u can get certified and use that as an advantage. This will add more value to your resume and the chances of getting job will increase.
Hope this helps
Remember to reward points as a way of thanks.

Rgds ,
SAPuser100

Hi
>>What are the things i hav to know ,if i want to become an EP consultant . ?
Thats a difficult question to answer because EP is a vast subject and there is a lot to learn. But in order to become a consultant SAP has laid down a course content which you will be able to access from service marketplace. Here's where you will find it.
http://service.sap.com -> Education, Consulting, Solution Areas and more -> Course Booking
>>I hav attended one interview , they hav asked me Whther i hav worked in any Front end,
other than PCD ..Wht r the other things i must hav to know ?
I am assuming that they would want to know if you have worked on SAP R/3 or such other front end.
>>Wht's the work difference bt Application side in EP & devlopment side in EP ?
Development in EP deals with creation of Portal applications that involves coding. You need to have a solid knowledge of Java, JSP, etc. for becoming a development consultant.
Whereas configuration deals more with the administration of EP.
Check out this link for details.

Also check out this weblog. It sums up all that I have mentioned above.
Beginning EP Development
Hope that helped.

Roles & Responsibilities for Junior & Senior consultants(Technical)

Hi Guru's,
what are the Roles & Responsibilities for Junior & Senior consultants(Technical).
what is the Role in your project?
How to answer for this question.
what is the size of cubes in your project?
Thanks,
Madhu.

Hi ,
In general Functional means, derive the funtional specification from the business requirement document. This job normally is done either by the business analyst or system analyst who has a very good knowledge of the business. In some large organizations there will be a business analyst as well as system analyst.
In any business requirement or need for new reports or queries originates with the business user. This requirement will be recorded after discussion by the business analyst. A system analyst analyses these requirements and generates functional specification document. In the case of BW it could be also called logical design in DATA MODELING.
After review this logical desing will be translated to physical design . This process defines all the required dimensions, key figures, master data, etc.
Once this process is approved and signed off by the requester(users), then conversion of this into practically usable tasks using the SAP BW software. This is called Technical. The whole process of creating an InfoProvider, InfoObjects, InforSources, Source system, etc falls under the Technical domain.
you work on a specific Application area in BW like say FI, MM, PP , etc. you are a BW functional. BW functional would not do any development but they are rather in charge of overseeing whether the specific application functionality is implemented or not. They rather look for the functionality and not for the underlying code.
Functional skills..Knowledge of taking user requirements,and designing the functional and technical specs according to the requirements,determine what customizations are required in the system.Such a person needs strong 'functional background' of the source system and the functional areas involved..example SD,Finance,MM,Utilities,Inventory Mgmt etc.
Sort of skills required by person at design and blueprint phase.
But if you are working across application areas then you are BW technical. They are the ones who do all the development like creating BW objects and activating them.
developing BW objects according to the design specs(FS and TS),data modeling skills,ABAP coding skills for routines and exits.Sort of skills required by person working in development phase of work.
Generally Technical people are expected to have some basic functional knowledge. But if they really have very good functional knowledge in 1 area then they are generally called "Techno-functional".
An SAP BW functional consultant is responsible for the following:
Key responsibilities include:
Maintain project plans
Manage all project activities, many of which are executed by resources not directly managed by the
project leader (central BW development team, source system developer, business key users)
Liase with key users to agree reporting requirements, report designs
Translate requirements into design specifications(report specs, data mapping / translation, functional specs)
Write and execute test plans and scripts
Coordinate and manage business / user testing Deliver training to key users
Coordinate and manage product ionization and rollout activities
Track CIP (continuous improvement) requests, work with users to prioritize, plan and manage CIP
An SAP BW technical consultant is responsible for:
-SAP BW extraction using standard data extractor and available development tools for SAP and non-SAP data sources. -SAP ABAP programming with BW
-Data modeling, star schema, master data, ODS and cube design in BW
-Data loading process and procedures (performance tuning)
-Query and report development using Bex Analyzer and Query Designer
-Web report development using Web Application Designer
Hope this helps,
Regards

Question on the flow of the data from SAP R/3 to SAP BW

hai bwgurus,
I am learner of sap bw ,i have small doubt in the extracting the data from sap r/3 to sap bw i.e
Extraction is always performed only on master data table not on transaction table , Am I right or wrong pls correct me with an detailed explanation ?
EmailId:[email protected]
Regards
Raju

Hi raju,
Extraction is always on Masterdata and as well as transaction data.
a transaction is event that ocurs on masters(like business example would be there will be a distributor who orders certain quantity of material so Disturbutor will be the companies sole distrubutor who comes under master and transaction data is the qty of materila he purchsed).All the transactions occur in SAP r/3 and that data will be replicated to BW for Data ware hosue and reporting.
