Scope of CRM technical when moving from ABAP/4

Hello Everybody,
Iam ABAP/4 certified consultant and currentky working in cross applications. Ima intersted in moving into CRM Technical. What would be the scope and job prospect of CRM Technical in India and Abroad as well.
As i dnt know anything about CRM would it be good move. Kindly suggest me.
Regards,
Vidya Roma

Hi Vidya,
I was in ABAP for about 2 yrs although I am not a certified ABAP Consultant but have good enough experience in it. I got the opportunity to work in CRM ABAP this Feb ans since then, it has been a great learning experience for me.
When you're switching from R/3 ABAP to CRM ABAP, one thing you must be knowing that its an Object Oriented Concept in CRM ABAP
You have to know (or learn it) about BAdI's. There are a lot of BAdI's than can and (probably) will be used for all kinds of business transactions, like service orders, activities, etc. It would be advisable to learn to programming model in CRM which involves several layers like the interaction layer for example.
There are some very useful reports: CRM_ORDER_READ.
Function modules: CMR_ORDER_MAINTAIN, CRM_ORDER_SAVE, CRM_ORDER_READ.
These are 'generic' FM which can be used for 'all' sorts of business transactions.
One more important thing to know is that most of the screens are composed of (enjoy) sap controls in which BDC programming won't do you no good. But this is not a disadvantage, since the FM above are actually all you need to have.
Main transaction code would be crmd_order (or crm_order, not quite sure). With this ONE transaction code you can process all business transactions in CRM. The screen can be customized in such a way that per business transaction, the screen will look different although you are still using the same transaction code.
And there really is a lot more than this, but you will find out eventually. It is a quite powerful module in terms of flexibility, customizing, post processing possibilities. Sounds all a bit abstract right now, but you will learn to love / like it (I hope).
And if you're asking about the future of this, let me tell you that SAP CRM Consultants have got the highest billing rate comapred with all other modules.
If any more questions, please get back anytime.
Thanks
Vishal

  • I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

    I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

    Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
    When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
    Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest. 
    You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
    So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit. 
    You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:

    I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

  • When moving from a list of threads view to a thread would be nice to jump to last thread read.

    When moving from a list of threads being viewed to a thread, it would be nice to jump to last thread read or first unread thread.
    Sometimes the threads get rather long.  Sometimes I haven't read a thread in awhile & I forget where I have left off reading a thread. It would be nice to have an icon to click on to move to your last read post or the first non-read post. 
    Seems this could be implemented in javascript without too much problem.  Might be a problem of when to get rid of the tracking data.
    Robert

    This would be a new capability.   I didn't know you could jump directly to the last post in a thread by clicking on the posters name in your discussions.  However, I am interested in jumping to the first post that I haven't read.
    Since writing my original post, I realize that software doesn't know what posts I have read. Lets say there are are 26 posts in a thread.  Lets assume these are divided into three pages with at most 10 items in a page:
    page 1 -- a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j
    page 2 -- k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t
    page 3 -- u, v, w, x, y, z
    The software know that I have viewed the first three pages.  It doesn't know what post on the pages I have read.  The software would need to assume I have read all the available posts on a page.
    Now lets assume that 12 more post were added.  This results in:
    page 1 -- a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j
    page 2 -- k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t
    page 3 -- u, v, w, x, y, z, aa,bb,cc,dd
    page 4 -- ee,ff,gg,hh,ii,jj,kk,ll
    It would be nice if I could go to aa. 
    Jumping to the last post in the thread doesn't hack it. You have to spend a lot of time finding where you left off your reading.
    Intesting, the list of your posts on your homepage usings the term Last Activity were as Your Discussions uses the term Last Post. The terminalogy should be the same & should act the same.  For the existing capability of going the the last post, I was thinking of Goto Last Post.

  • Performance issue when moving from 4.6c to 6.0

    Looks like we took a performance hit when moving from 4.6c to 6.0 on the same hardware. 
    For example, our PGI on outbound deliveries now takes several seconds longer in 6.0 then it did in 4.6c.  We've noticed other SAP area's are taking longer as well.  With an ST05 sql trace on the PGI in 6.0, we see more tables being accessed, same tables being access differently taking longer.  All leading to more time to do a PGI in 6.0.
    Has anyone else noticed this increase in Response time when upgrading to 6.0 ?   
    Thanks,
    David

    Hello.
    Yes, in our system we noticed the same thing at start. The general performance seemed to get worse after upgrading. In fact, database became bigger and more memory is consumed. However, it was tuned up by our system administrator and now seems ok.
    Run the optimizer statistics and see if it get's better.

  • Flex app doesn't work when moved from original location

    I'm trying to make an image gallery in flex. It works when I run it in Flex Builder perfectly fine. The html and swf files from the bin-debug folder work perfectly fine when opened in any browser also, but ONLY when those files and all related files are opened from the default location that the application was built in. When I export a build to a different folder, the swf loads but none of the information from the xml file displays. I tried setting all of the paths of the reference files (namely the xml) in the flex app to the exact absolute location on the server, and it still didn't work when I uploaded it to the server.
    I've tried several approaches starting from scratch and they have all come up with the same issue. I'm working with an educational license for Flex Builder, I'm not sure if they jip you on those and ruin the compiled swf.
    Please help! I'm losing my mind over this.I think it has to do with something else besides the code since it works fine when I hit "Run", but if anyone thinks it will help to post the code let me know.

    when you build an application using one of the wizards (like coldfusion flex application wizard) it hard codes
    paths to cold fusion CFC's, and sometimes gets it wrong.
    If your application references cfc's (or other remote objects) then it may be necessary to adjust the flex code
    when moving the code into a different base folder.
    For example in my own application, the url is http://localhost/crm_dev_flex and the built application gets put into
    c:\inetpub\wwwroot\crm_dev_flex\bin-debug
    References in the code to components found in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\crm_dev_flex\bin-debug\components\cfgenerated
    (in the flex code these looks like crm_dev_flex.bin-debug.components.cfgenerated.<mycomponent> )
    These need to change when you move the code to somewhere else.
    Also, if you are using wizard generated cfc's then these also contain similar references that need to be changed.
    IHTH.
    Cheers

  • SOFM: Dsiplay method is not working when called from ABAP Webdynpro

    Hi All,
    I want to open an attachment from ABAP Webdynpro.
    I have approached in this fashion:
    1) Get the attachments as SOFM object key
    2) On Click of a link on Webdynpro, I am calling a function module within which I am creating an instance of the SOFM object
    3) Then I am calling the DISPLAY method
    It is not opening.
    But, if it opens when I driectly execute the function module. It open when I directly test the business object.
    Any Idea ?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Deb

    Display Method uses the Dialogue Module, You should not access such methods in web dynpro which are SAPGUI specific.
    Web Dynpro Applications are run in Browser environment which cannot understand Dialog, it can understand only HTML.
    Read the attachments and get the content and use FileDownload UI element to show it to user.

  • Reports with prompting stop working when moved from Crystal10 to crystal 11

    Issue:
    We are having trouble with Crystal Reports XI. It appears that the Crystal 10 runtime included the ability to process reports that used prompting. If we run the same report with the Crystal XI runtime, it fails.
    I can send a sample of the report.
    Error Dialog:
    Title: Internet Explorer Script Error
    Error Details:
    An error has occurred in the script on this page
    Line: 1
    Char: 1
    Error: invalid character
    Code: 0
    URL: file: /// C:/Program%20Files/Business%20Objects/3.0/crystalreportsviewers11/prompting/js/promptengine_strings_en.js
    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
    Yes/No
    Our Configuration:
    We use Merge Modules that install Crystal Reports through the browser via a CAB file that we created. It runs a setup executable
    The setup executable project that installs CR XI uses the following Merge Modules:
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of your hot fixes)
    Observation:
    When the install is finished, the folder structure under u2026. Crystalviewers11/prompting do not have any files like they do if we install the development environment.
    Question:
    What do we need to do to correct this situation?
    *why the reports with*
    *prompting stops working when it is moved from a Crystal 10 to Crystal 11*
    *environment.  I believe that it has something to do with Merge Modules*
    *because the files under the prompting folder do not populate with the*
    *merge module like they do with the full install of Crystal Reports.*
    Please help.

    We have JDK 1.6 installed.  The License Merge Module is not related to
    this issue.
    The files under \Program Files\Common Files\Business
    Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\prompting  are not being installed.
    If we copy files, into this folder structure the reports work.
    One of the Business Object's Merge Modules should install the files
    there rather than just an empty folder structure.
    I got was able to figure out how to enter a customer support message.
    They said that they could not support us because we were not on CRXIR2
    (Crystal Reports 11 Release 2).
    I found a download for CRXIR2SP4 (same thing service pack 4).
    I installed it the Merge Module names changed to include a "_5"
    Was:
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of
    your hot fixes)
    Now:
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Runtime.msm
    CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm (should have been included)
    *CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (not needed anymore)
    I will try to put a installer together with these.  If this work there
    will be some complexity around uninstalling the old one and installing
    the new one.

  • ML Automatically sorts files by name when moving from one folder to another.

    Hello, i usually used to move a bunch of files like images or mp3s from one folder to another and in Lion, when moving like 20+ files to another folder, they was being placed where you clicked.
    Seems that in ML when i move the same amount of same files, rather than placing them at the cursor, it just moves them and sorts by name. How to avoid this?

  • Remove copy from server 'when moved from inbox' option for POP accounts

    Is this option supposed to work in all cases? (or could it be buggy?:-)
    I can't get it to work with my POP account: messages are still left on the POP server, even after when they are moved from the inbox to another local mailbox on my Mac...
    Manual selective removal of messages from the server does work (thru the 'Get info' window of the 'Gear' menu at bottom of Mailboxes pane), so this does seem to be a problem with the POP server.
    Or do I by any chance misinterpret the meaning of this option?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Mail version 2.1 (752/752.2)

    You've interpreted correctly how it should work, as long as you take the following considerations into account:
    1. Messages aren't supposed to be removed from the server immediately, but rather the next time Mail connects to the POP server.
    2. It may have no effect on messages that had already been downloaded prior to you choosing that option.
    And, yes, it sometimes doesn't work as expected. It could be buggy or Mail might have problems communicating with the server.

  • ITunes Match account when moving from France to USA.

    Hi guys,
    I'm moving from France to California for work in a few month. I have a french iTunes account / iTunes Match account.
    I was wondering how to transfert them as a US account (for iTunes account I'm pretty sure it's easy, but I don't really know for iTunes Match Account).
    Thanks for you help and Hayppy New year

    You cannot transfer iTunes Store accounts across stores. If you will wish to use the US store you will have to switch over completely and start using that store. iTunes Match will have to be canceled and re-subscribed if you switch stores. See this User Tip for more information: How to Change Country with iTunes Match

  • UTF issue when moving from cf5 to cfmx7

    It's been long overdue so am moving from CF5 to cfmx7 on my hosting account.
    The issue is that my hosting account has disabled cfcontent.
    I am getting gibberish outputting utf data from my database. It works fine on cf5 but on cfmx7 I read someplace that you have to use cfcontent to output utf-8 correctly.
    Is there any work around without having to use cfcontent?
    I tried using cfprocessingdirective and cfheader tags to show utf but it didn't work. Any pointers or suggestions appreciated.
    Best Regards
    Sanman

    ok, since it's "N" you should be good to go with transferring the data (it's
    actually pretty simple). in cf5, write a page that does a simple query against
    the table(s) containing your data, i guess just select TOP 100 or so rows with
    the PK & the nText columns. simply output that query using a delimiter that you
    can parse easily (commas between columns & quotes for the nText would be my
    default choices). have a look at the output to make sure it's readable. if all's
    well, on the cf7 (or whatever) box do a cfhttp call to that cf5 page & dump out
    the cfhttp.fileContent or result if you use that. if it's still readable, then
    you can do the real xfer by:
    - backing up the original table
    - double checking that the backup is ok
    - triple checking that the backup is ok
    - adding another table w/just PK & nText columns
    - filling that with the properly encoded data
    - then do a join UPDATE against the old table
