SDN meets Labs - Abstract
As a lot of SDN members I attend the SDN Event in St. Leon Roth. I was impressed by the ideas and technical solutions shown at the event.
On my drive back from St. Leon Roth and the following days in the office I try to put business scenarios together to approach the market.
I had to explain that I'm working for a business in Austria (Partner of SAP) focused on the Health market.
Out from my view I will be a challenge for all of us (SAP + Partners) to built solutions on top of the hot technical stuff. This solutions need to have a clear benefit (in financial terms) for each customer otherwise it will be hard to sell this things.
I opened this topic not because I want to tell everybody that new things are useless, in the opposite I belief that in our fast moving eco systems its very important to set the pace with inovations and ideas - this is driving the IT business. But it is also very important not to get flashed by the technical base only - we need to built hot and salable things on top of this.
This are my thoughts so far.
Last but not least i want to say that i enjoy the Event starting from the first minute - graet thing.
Hi Siggi,
Sorry I missed you at the end of the event. I was busy all the time and thought at least one of the SDN sessions I should see.
Now you didn't get your well deserved 1K T-Shirt. Rest assured we will send it to you. But I am more bummed that I didn't meet you and now I don't have a face to your post.
Hope in one of the next events we will be able to shake hands, Mark.

SDN Meets labs, Walldorf Event
Hi SDN,
today, before I left, I wanted to pick up my t-shirt (1K SDN) at the walldorf event as it was offered by Mark Finnern. But looking around, I couldn't find anybody to hand out the t-shirt. I could have taken it by myself, but this is for sure not very nice. This is not a real issue, but just a little negative point in the overall good organization an my good impression on the event.
regards

Frankfurt 6th of February SDN Meet! Who is coming?
Hi SDNers,
If you live or work in or close to Frankfurt Germany and would like to meet and hang out with your fellow SDNers for an unofficial evening at the Lorsbacher Tal Appelwoiwirtschaft <a href="http://www.lorsbacher-thal.de/en/index.html">Lorsbacher Tal Appelwoiwirtschaft</a>. Then swing by that pub on Monday the 6th of February starting at 7pm.
I will be there and Benny and let's see who else is interested. Benny called them and they said we don't need reservations, after all it is Monday evening. May be we can surprise them a bit.
If you coming please add to this thread and let us know if you bring friends. Really loved our unofficial events before the SDN Meets Labs.
Really looking forward to it, Mark.
Address is: Grosse Rittergasse 49-51
D-69504 Frankfurt (Alt Sachsenhausen)
More details in the <a href="/people/mark.finnern/blog/2006/01/31/frankfurt-here-we-come">Blog</a>Hi Ramki,
Not sure if you are in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you are, than please join us this Wednesday the 5th of April for an SDN Meet at the San Francisco Airport Marriott: 7pm at the bar.
The first 5 non SAP SDNers will get a prize. Key SDN Team members will be there.
See you there, Mark.
P.S. More details in a Weblog post soon.
P.P.S. I was asked about pictures from the first SDN Meet, unfortunately I only took three with my bad resolution Treo camera Finally I found the time to load them and they are in the SDN Group on flickr:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/sdn/ Check it out, bring your own camera for this event and put me to shame, not that that is tough. -
Poll: SDN Meet in the US East/Midwest - Which City?
Hi All,
The SDN meets always seem to be happening in the west! I think it is high time one happens in our side of the U.S. Since Mark has not gotten around to my post Frankfurt 6th of February SDN Meet! Who is coming?, let us find out which city would attract the most number of members and bring it to the SDN staff's attention!
My choice, I would not mind Washington D.C, Chicago or New York as long as it is on a Thursday/Friday evening.
Cheers,
Ramki Maley.Hi Ramki,
There is an event that may interest you: <a href="http://www.asug.com/events/asug2006/education/sappresence.cfm#did">SAP NetWeaver Developer Info Days</a> 17th and 18th of May in Orlando. (Just after ASUG)
It cost $250 and it is a quite interesting line up. Rumour has it, that Mister SDN Thomas Jung will be there and may be we can even twist Craig Cmehil's arm to stay a couple of days longer after Sapphire. I hear his boss is leaving him not so subtle messages in the forums about what he should do
Check it out, we will announce more about it here on SDN.
All the best, Mark. -

About future for SAP XI?
Hi Experts,
Im new to SAP.
Im an MCA fresher and im planning to go for SAP XI training with my friend's suggestion.
Just i wanted to know the openings for XI and Future for XI.
Can i start my career as XI fresher?
what are the basic requirements i should have if i go for XI training?
Kindly do needful.
regards,
Arvind.Hi Arvind Subramaniam ,
>>Can i start my career as XI fresher?
Yes. It is a good Netweaver technology & u can either try as a developer or at Admin side. But there r good oppurtinities as a XI Developer.
>>what are the basic requirements i should have if i go for XI training?
XI is configuration type & maximum stuff wil be mapping . But , sometimes there arises a need to import JAVA code into XI. Hence if u know JAVA/J2EE it's a added advantage.
All the best for u'r success in future!
These r some excellent websites on basics of XI which familarizes u with XI:

Hi All
How much development work is required in typical SAP XI projects where integration is limited to SAP products only (e.g BW, ECC, SRM).
Is XI development means actually writing Code in Java or just configuration using SAP provided tools.
Thanks you allHi julio puppert ,
XI is maximum configuration work but if u know java it's a added advantage & some times there arises a need to import JAVA code into XI to achieve the functionality using UDF(user defined functions)
These r some excellent websites which make u understand what is XI & wt r the scenarios which we come across in XI:

Switching from Microsoft Web technolgy to XI
Hi All,
I was working in developing web appilicatons using Microsft technologies (C# and ASP.Net) for the last 2.5 years. recently i was trained in SAP ABAP and SAP XI.
I had a short stint with an Abap project and XI project to follow. How would you comment on my switcning form my earlier platform to XI. Is it worth switching or should i continue in my previous platform itself.
Also if you suggest XI what are the other courses i can pursue like BW or EP.
Thanks
RakeshHi Rakesh Ramanath ,
1)First of all I would appreciate u'r decision for switching into XI b'coz for career growth & better oppurtinities (i.e In SAP(ABAP,XI,EP,..best salary packages r offered in market)
2) Since u may have gained ful knowledge on OO Concepts it wil help u in learning EP, WebDynpro etc.
3) U can pursue either BW or EP . There r equal oppurtinities . For EP u should know Advanced J2EE Concepts.
The following r excellent websites on XI which gain u confidence on learning XI:
