SAP Netweaver XI VS SAP ABAP VS SAP BW

Hi Guys,
I'm an SAP BASIS administrator. But I am thinking of a career change in my company and if I will be given a chance, I am choosing between the three below.
SAP Netweaver XI
SAP BW
SAP ABAP
I am confuse on which of these three is the best one.
I like BW because many says that this is very in demand.
I like ABAP because I love programming. But I am afraid that this will not be in demand in the future because of the (Netweaver - is it true?)
Lastly, knowing that Netweaver is new in SAP, I am thinking that this will be popular and in demand now and in the future.
Could you guys share your thoughts about this? Which one is the best to choose from the three.
Thank you in advance.
Erwin

Hi,
In my view as you are already experienced in BASIS you shall go with it and cover the all stacks of NetWeaver and be the NetWeaver BASIS consultant. Here you can have exposure of all the stacks XI/EP/MDM etc and as a BASIS person you will have more opportunity as well if you are able to handle it.

SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.rar CRC error?

HI,
I've downloaded the file:
SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.rar
of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - Java and ABAP Trial Version on Linux - VMware Edition
four times and everytime a get a CRC error in the RAR file. Is the file wrong or the download incorrect?
Regards, Edwin Slee

Hi Henry.
Ive downloaded the file again. Now it is called:
SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
But it is a RAR file.
As you suggested I open the file with WINRAR 3.61 and select
Tools -> repair archive
In the directory a file:is created with the name:
rebuilt.SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
The WINRAR message box reads:
Detecting archive type...
---> RAR
Build fixed.SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
Searching for recovery record
---> recovery record not found
Build rebuilt.SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
Found SLES10SP1_Test_Drive(2)-s002.vmdk

Found SLES10SP1_Test_Drive(2)-s004.vmdk
Found SLES10SP1_Test_Drive(2)-s005.vmdk
When I open this file with WINRAR again a try to extract
SLES10SP1_Test_drive(2)-s003.vmdk I still get a CRC error, the archive file is corrupted.
I think the error isnt due to the download, because Ive downloaded the file using three different internet connections (8 times now) and all the files are identical, with a CRC error !

SAP Netweaver XI / PI with ABAP or Basis?

I have good knowledge in SAP Netweaver XI abd PI several versions, now i would like to upgrade myself , which would be best option? ABAP or BASIS? , i dont have any idea about both, please guide me....which would be a better career for me to go with....
1.Worked on XI 3.0, PI 7.0, PI 7.01, PI 7.02, PI 7.1, PI 7.11,PI 7.3 SAP Netweaver versions
2.Experienced in configuring System landscape directory,Enterprise service repository,integration directory,runtime work bench, Netweaver Administrator,message monitoring, component monitoring.
3.Worked on SDM GUI, SAP GUI,Visual Administrator,Config tool,Deploy tool,JSPM and telnet
4.Good in channel ,agreements and determination creation and integrating components
5.Worked with various transport protocols like HTTP,TCP,FTP,MLLP,MQ series and File.
6.Work with different Adapters
7.Worked in different OS like windows,unix,linux,hp-unix,solaris.
Dont have knowledge in following
1.Mapping
2.ABAP
3.Basis

I would suggest to educate yourself with SAP BPM and BRM. These are one of the interesting areas in the integration related tasks of SAP and those will change the way how to work with SAP integrations in future. This is already reality with SAP PI 7.3 and 7.31. When you are familiar with BRM, BPM you can learn eSOA of SAP.
However if you must select either ABAP or Basis, It depends the solution where you want to focus. If you want to focus NetWeaver platform and specially solutions like SAP PI, MDM etc. then learn Basis. If you want to work with SAP ERP learn ABAP.

SAP NetWeaver 7.1 CE SP05 Trial - SAP System is missing

To all:
I have completed the installation of SAP NetWeaver 7.1 CE SP05 Trial locally to my PC.
When I go into NWDC, I noticed that a SAP instance does not exist in the pulldown Windows -> Preferences - SAP AS Java. When I tried to register my Instance Host and Instance Number it says the sap instance is not currently reachable, check instance name,
So, my question is to everyone, any ideas on why my SAP System is not displayed?
Do I have to have that defined prior to registering the Instance Host and Instance Number?
I have looked at SAP MCC and made sure that for CE1, that my
Instance Host and Instance Number are there.
Thanks
IPhillips

Start the server first, then you can add it.
By the way, not NWDC, but NWDS.

Linux TestDrive SAP NetWeaver 7.02 MaxDB available in SAP Shop

We have just released a fresh version of our NetWeaver testdrive. Testdrive of NetWeaver 7.02 SPS7 is MaxDB based and can be ordered free of charge in SAP Knowledge Shop (www.sap.com/shop -> Knowledge Shop -> Documentation > SAP NetWeaver > SAP NetWeaver), material number is 50105321. A DB2 LUW version will follow within the next few weeks, we also work on a download version. We have tested with SLES10 and SLES11, RHEL6 and Ubuntu 10.10. Suse will provide a custom made SLES11 SP1 based virtual appliance with sufficient diskspace to home the testdrive. We have worked on a couple of simplifications to make the installation process even simpler than it was before.
We await your feedback
Manfred

Hi Manfred,
you mentioned, that SUSE would provide a custom made vmware image of SLES 11 SP1 to be used with this preview edition. Are there any news on wether and when this will be available ?

Hi Vikas,
thank you very much for your quick answer.
Am I getting it right that you installed the Web Application Server and the XI on the same machine? I read about the mandatory installation on two seperate machines but I hope that the installation on one machine is also possible when using the server for testing purposes.
What processor do you have? Do you think my Pentium 4 2.8 GHz processor will do it?
Very appreciative greetings,
Florian

SAP NetWeaver 04s SP7 Java Version And SAP NetWeaver 04s ABAP Version

Hello,
I would like to ask if anyone has installed both Java and ABAP version on PC/Notebook.
What did you install first and why?
When installing the second of the two, did you need to turn off or detete any part of first installation?
Any advice on the installation of both versions on one PC would be appriciated.
Thank You,
Spiro.

Hi. I have installed NW04s ABAP stack and the NW04 Java stack(slim edition) on my laptop. I installed ABAP first, then the java stack. I did do it the other way around, but the ABAP stack would not load successfully, so remember ABAP first, then java. No, did not turn off or delete anything from the abap installation.

Rich Heilman
