  • 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 to start with SAP

    Hi Friends,
    I have 3 years experience in Software Industry. I an working in Financial Services as a Support Analyst. I want to start my career in SAP - ABAP now. I don't much about SAP-ABAP. I have got access on to SAP server for practice. Can you please suggest me some good links for new starters or some good e-books to start with SAP-ABAP.
    Thanks All.

    Hi Sunil,
    Thanks for your reply. Actual I have not done programming so much in these 3 years but I am familiar to all basics of prgromming. Why I want to go in ABAP as in my 3 years I have worked on technical part in my project..
    As I have spent only 3 years in Industry, I don't think it is a big deal to start my career with a new trun with ABAP prorgamming. Once I learn ABAP on my own I can shift to any of SAP-ABAP project within my company.
    I will visit the link given by you.
    Thanks,
    Jatinder

    Hi Thom Heinemann  ,
    The following websites containing PDF & PPT docs on BI will gain u confidence :
    What is a BW datasource?What is meant by maintaining a datasource?
    A BW datasource is a structure which is created in the source system and replicated to the BW system. Maintaining a datasource in a source system is doing any changes related to the datasource. It could be adding/deleting fields or checking the flags in the datasource like the hide and selection flag. Also, if the datasource is provided in the LO Cockpit, changes can be made there too depending on how the extraction of data is ...

    Creating SAP BW data source definitions

    An InfoCube describes a self-contained dataset (from the reporting view), for example, for a business-oriented area. This dataset can be evaluated with the BEx query.An InfoCube is a set of relational tables that are created in accordance with the star schema: a large fact table in the center, with several dimension tables surrounding it.
    In its esence, Infocube is a data container. Data containers are used as a basis for analysis and reporting processes in SAP BW. Infocubes in SAP BW serve exactly this purpose. Infocubes in SAP consist of Key figures and characteristics. You can find some detailed information on key figures here. Simply speaking, infocube is any repository which contains data. Moving on to the types of infocubes. In SAP BW, there are basically two classes of infocubes. These are:
    Basic Infocubes - These are also called as physical infocubes.
    Remote Infocubes - These are also called as virtual infocubes.
    The basic difference between the above two types of infocubes is that basic infocubes are physically stored in the same SAP BW system as their meta data description. Remote infocubes are stored on a third party custom SAP BW. Both the above types of BW infocubes consist of key figures and characteristics. These characteristics in turn are divided into 16 dimensions. More on that in another post.

    Extract Structure
    In the extract structure, data from a DataSource is staged in the source system. The extract structure contains the amount of fields that are offered by an extractor in the source system for the data loading process. You can edit and enhance DataSource extract structures in the source system. To do this, in the BW Administrator Workbench choose Goto à Modeling à Source Systems à Your Source System à Context Menu (right mouse click) à Customizing Extractors à Subsequent Processing of DataSources.
    Transfer Structure
    The transfer structure is the structure in which the data is transported from the source system into the SAP Business Information Warehouse. It provides a selection of the extract structure fields for the source system.
    Use
    The transfer structure provides BW with all the source system information available for a business process.
    An InfoSource in BW requires at least one DataSource for data extraction. DataSource data that logically belongs together is staged in an extract structure in an SAP source system.
    In the transfer structure maintenance, you determine which extract structure fields are transferred to the BW. When you activate the transfer rules in BW, an identical transfer structure for BW is created in the source system from the extractor structure.
    This data is transferred 1:1 from the transfer structure of the source system into the BW transfer structure, and is then transferred into the BW communication structure using the transfer rules.
    A transfer structure always refers to a DataSource from a source system and an InfoSource in BW.
    You get to the maintenance of the transfer structure using the InfoSource tree of the Administrator Workbench. The context menu of the source system belonging to an InfoSource provides you with the maintenance marker using the function Maintain Transfer Rules.

    SAP Business Information Warehouse
    SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is the name of the Business Intelligence, analytical, reporting and Data Warehousing (DW) solution which is one of the major enterprise software applications produced by SAP AG. It was originally named SAP BIW, (Business Information Warehouse), but is now known as "SAP NetWeaver BI".
    SAP BW consists among other things of components for data management (Data Warehousing Workbench), extensive data modeling capabilities, an embedded analytical engine, a suite of rich front-end analytical tools refererred to as Business Explorer (BEx), and operational tools used for importing the most current transactional data into the system. It may be helpful to consider layers that make up the structure of SAP's BI solution:
    Extraction, Transformation and Load (ETL) layer - responsible for extracting data from a specific source, applying transformation rules, and loading it into SAP BW system.
    Data warehouse area - responsible for storing the information in various types of structures, including multidimensional structures called InfoCubes.
    Reporting - responsible for accessing the information in data warehouse area and presenting it in a user-friendly manner to the analyst or business user.
    Planning - Provides capabilities for the user to run simulations and perform tasks such as budget calculations.
    SAP's BI application is a very pervasively employed data warehouse / analytical enterprise software solution, often utilized heavily by companies that essentially run their business on SAP operational systems such as SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP, traditionally known as SAP R/3). SAP's BI solution contains a large number of predefined "extractors", a very significant amount of pre-defined business content in the form of InfoCubes, master data (i.e. objects representing the entity for "Customer", or "Material"), authorization roles, query views and reports all delivered in the software by SAP. Some of the significant benefits of this approach include the ability to leverage SAP's substantial business knowledge from many years of developing extremely sophisticated software systems for the world's largest companies, typically shortening project development cycles in the process. The pre-defined business content can be modified to meet an organization's specific requirements, while at the same time taking advantage of general aspects of these delivered data models and reports that are somewhat foundational and have broad application in business, government, and education.
    SAP BW is now part of a suite of SAP applications called SAP NetWeaver. Other components of SAP NetWeaver include SAP Enterprise Portal (EP, called SAP NetWeaver Portal as of Release 7.0), Web Application Server (WAS), SAP Process Integration (PI, or previously XI, i.e. eXchange Infrastructure) and Master Data Management (MDM).
    The 7.0 version of SAP BW was released in June 2006 as part of the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (aka 2004s). This new release includes many new features, such as next-generation reporting and analytical features, major data warehousing enhancements, and possibility to use innovative techology for query performance optimization called "BI Accelerator". BI Accelerator (or BIa) comes as an external applicance, i.e. complete hardware with pre-installed software. BIa requires separate licence fee.
    From SAP NetWeaver 7.0 on, the term SAP BW is obsolete, and instead it is referred simply as "SAP NetWeaver BI" - i.e. "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BI".
    According to SAP, more than 12,000 installations of SAP's BI solution exist.
    SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) is SAP´s Data Warehouse solution. It has been specially developed to allow you to gather and analyze all kinds of statistical information in the best possible way. 
    The SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) is a core element of mySAP.com. SAP BW is an enterprise-wide information hub that enables data analysis from R/3 and other business application, including external data sources such as databases and the Internet. SAP BW also offers easy integration with other mySAP solutions, such as mySAP Supply Chain
    Management (mySAP SCM), mySAP Strategic Enterprise Management (mySAP SEM), and mySAP Customer Relationship Management (mySAP CRM).
    SAP BW is a comprehensive end-to-end data warehouse solution with optimized structures for reporting and analysis. To help knowledge workers quickly mine an enterpriseu2019s business data, SAP BW is equipped with preconfigured information models and reports, as well as automatic data extraction and loading methods. 
    With an easy-to-use Microsoft Excel-based user interface, you can create, format, and analyze reports, and publish those reports to the web. Built for high performance, SAP BW resides on its own dedicated server. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and reporting activities are therefore separated, and system performance is not compromised.

  • Starting with SAP FICO

    Dear,
    Plz guide me on Starting with SAP FICO.
    I am engineering graduate & wants to work on SAP FICO.
    Completed studying -- Accounting for Non Accountants.
    But now i am in a dilemma as for now which topic to start with.
    Someone says TFIN20, TFIN22, TFIN50 etc & some says to start with AC205 series Pdf's.
    So plz guide me step by step method as to which Pdf book should be started - from starting to end to learn SAP FICO in serial order.
    Also do provide me links for the updated pdf's of SAP FICO ECC 6.0.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Vivek.

    So plz guide me step by step method as to which Pdf book should be started - from starting to end to learn SAP FICO in serial order.
    until you work on it and solve some real time problems you don't get full knowledge in SAP module. so try to work on SAP system.asking for authorized books/links is against the Rules of SDN forum. search for FI & co (separate certification for both) in GOOGLE, SDN. you will get so many links & documents.

    As far as I know the SAP BUsiness Explorer car retrieve data either from a universe or from the SAP BWA. So hat you should be looking for is information on how to set Excel files as data sources for universes.

  • Getting started with SAP BW

    Hi!
    I already have read SAP courses BW305 and BW310 and went through [SAP BW example |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/46/8df2e4ebf268e5e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm ].
    I have a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 system and SAP ERP IDES 6.0.
    Now I would like to continue to gain practical experience.
    What could the next step? 
    Of great interest for me are:
    - a case study/example where I can load and analyze data from SAP ERP IDES ECC 6.0
    - a case study in area bw bases consolidation
    - other practical topics
    Any helpful information/SDN blogs, etc. will be very appreciated!
    Thank you very much!
    Thom

    Hi Thom,
    You can find many in SDN. Please find below a very few links which might help u...
    You need to majorly concentrate on Modelling and Business content.
    Start with modelling and then have a look at Business content objects. Then go for extraction and then for reporting. If you have R/3 along with BW with you, that would be good enough to work with.
    Consider a Business Cycle like Manufacturing Industry Life cycle from scratch like Establishing the manufacturing industry till production of goods where all the modules are involved.
    <y suggestion is that you better take suggestion contacting a BI consultant directly and take his help in understanding teh realtime scenarios and case studies.
    You may find many case studies in SDN but if you have physical guidance that would be great enough to gain much grip about the functionalities of the scenarios.

  • Getting started with SAP Netweaver

    Hi there,
    I am an IT professional with 7 years of development/project management experience in MS technologies.
    I want to learn SAP Netweaver, but very new to SAP!
    What is the Pre-requisite to learn Netweaver? Should I know ABAP to get into the Netweaver platform?
    Please advice me and provide some useful materials to getting started with Netweaver.
    Thanx.
    Aslu

    Hi Aslam,
    there was a recent thread about a similar question of yours, please check out First time in  SAP  Netweaver
    There are so many NetWeaver components so your question is a bit hard to answer.. But if you want to keep on programming, you really don't need ABAP much. NetWeaver is mostly about Java (Web App Server & Enterprise Portal programming), but you have touching points to both .NET and ABAP.
    Hope this helps,

    MS.

    SAP software is huge and there are so many different areas into it. It is best to undergo training to get started on SAP. Since your company is going to implement SAP soon, most likely you will be imparted training depending upon your role. But if you want to take initiative and have ambition to get into an SAP role, you may need to put extra effort.
    SAP Education (a division of SAP) and SAP Education Partners (e.g. Siemens Information Services, NIIT and a lot many) provide trainings - classroom, virtual and e-learning. But that may cost you a lot. There are several online training providers who provide SAP training at reasonable price. You may Google and find a good one. The SAP forums may also help you in your search. You already have SAP system access, so you are spared from sending money on this front. Otherwise it too may cost you depending on your usage.
    Still if you want to look for resources which can help you do things on SAP system, all I can tell you is that there is no such organized SAP Handbook. You may go through a book on using SAP and for general information. Yes, for different topics you will get tutorials which guide you step-wise-step. For example, suppose you want know how for LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) which uploads data from your local system to SAP system so that SAP users can make use of it. You can search for LSMW and you will find information (e.g I found this in Google search results: LSMW FAQs) which will help you to carry out the task. The point I want to make is you need to know what you want to do and then you can search for the required information.
    Probably in ABAP (SAP Programming language), it's possible to get started. You can go through an SAP Press Book "ABAP Objects" from Horst Keller and Sascha Kruger which starts you with your first ABAP program.
    If you want an overview of SAP software and various solutions in the mySAP Business Suite family (which you will come across while implementation and after-wards at your company), the following series of articles may help you:
    PART-1 What is SAP?
    PART-2 Evolution of SAP ERP Software
    PART-3 Introduction to SAP Business Suite
    PART-4 SAP definition of terms and its various offerings
    Hope it helps:-)

    Hi
    This thing has been discussed many times. This is not advisable that you take loan for starting your career in SAP until and unless you have hundred percent job surety which is almost impossible. You have to sacrifice your prior non IT related experience. When you start career in SAP you start from scratch. Please check this blog where I have shared some tips and my personal experience as well. There are also many other blogs and threads in Career Center which can go through. This query was supposed to be posted in career forum and now some moderator can move it there. You'll get better responses from there.
