THINK BEFORE DOING SAP CERTIFICATION

Dear all,
I am amit..
having 84% and 75% in highschool and intermediate
having 70% in btech mech
having 6 years of automotive experience
having passed certification in PP with 60%
  STILL NOT A SINGLE INTERVIEW CALL(only two introductory call from recruiters) for interview after 4 months of certification..very pathetic condition
i have also left my job as i found studying difficult during job and institute said me there are lot of jobs for fresher..but now when i have done it after donating 250000/- rs to them..they even not entertaining my mails and saying to me that you are not patience..
days are passing and no call from anyside
SAP certification in india has  no value if considered alone but if done with previous SAP experience then it will be beneficial..
Freshers in sap (even they have certification) will get no jobs..its clear..
You can get job in SAP certification as a fresher when
1. you have jack in a company
2. Your luck is bright
DO SAP certification
1. When you are in that SAP field( i am forcing on SAP word ) in which you are doing certification cuz everyone wil ask you in introductory call that have you worked earlier in SAP After that their technical questions which you have to pass
2.Or you have sure jack..
Its not worth the money..your life will be toooooo hard after this certification..better will be stick to your job and invest this money in MBA or business somewhere..

Thank you Nathan,
To answer your questions,
As I enrolled with SAP Education partner for the training and certification, I received the SAP authored and published books. These books are divided based on each week's training goals and concentrate completely on the clear understanding than just clearing exams.
I happened to ask institute as well as the trainer if they can share some dummy questions/ mock test papers, but all of them replied that questions will be based only and only on the books. All I am supposed to do is study religiously, which I did not but yes, I gave the best of mine.
I would like to note here the method of examination held by SAP because it may shed a light on some false claims of portals/institutes/organizations/individuals about providing SAP "so called" certification dumps.
Exam is held in presence of a proctor who is an SAP employee. He/She carries out a thorough check of attendees identity. The questions that appear on your screen are fetched nearest SAP exam server (I am from India so in my case the nearest servers belonged to Singapore). This server has bank of 1000+ questions related to a module and are fetched into the examination session created by you at random, so there's no guessing as to which question you'll really face. Sounds too dramatic, I know, but yes, that's how it is.
Now to answer your second question.....
The biggest help I could take from SCN at that moment was regarding, how to tackle the whole issue of coping with examination stress. I belong to modest means, so a lot of money was at stake for me. There are already very well written documents on SCN about do's and dont's on making it though training and certifications. I'll not go into that one because, It's altogether a different ball game and people with more than 3-4 certification have shared their experience (mine's just one) which I think is more elaborate and well... experienced.
In case you are looking forward to a certification, do let me know if anything further needs to answered. I'll be glad and willing.

Ameya Bobhate
P.S. I know it's a very lengthy reply. But now you know why it took some time to materialize.

  • Which SAP certification could I complete for technical expertise??

    I have completed my bachelors in Engineering(Information Technology) and Master in Business Administration. I am employed in Investment Banking sector right after my Masters. It has been two years now and I still have this urge to get in to the technical side rather to be Banking sectors (with no offense to my job and company). I have always wanted to do a SAP certification but somehow never got in to that. Now that I have this plan to persue a SAP certification can somebody suggest me what would be the best thing for me to choose that's happening and can find me a more technically oriented job that.

    Hi Raghav,
    for your kind information, a certification never gurantees a job in sap, so think before going to certification. If you wants to go with some technical side, you have some options like SAP ABAP, BASIS, in sap abap pure coding techniques are required, in basis it requires administration of the sap system.
    So, what you can do is, you can take training from anu sap authorised training center, they will provide you training along with certifications, please work hard during training and use each tool to get as many exposure as can be practicable, so in this way you can enter into sap technicakl side, there are many modules like webdynpro , workflow , UI5 etc which can be learned alongwith abap, but your primarily section should be abap module.
    There are some more modules in sap for functional persons those not required coding, so you can search in google for it, if find it interesting, you can also choose any one of them.
    But your main question is for certifications, so please understands, sap certification alone never fulfill your job hunt.
    If you have further queries, feel free to ask.

  • SAP Certification- Views

    HI Folks
    I am SAP MM Consultant,I just canceled my MM-Certification exam due to scheduling conflicts, and i am sure that i won`t be appearing in next 5-6 months.. So
    I just want the views of every one on the below
    In the long run of career  does SAP Certification impacts on ones professional career.
    Thanks

    HI,
    Look... it is up to ur decision in deciding when you have to take the exam... but one thing is that when u are confident to clear the exam take it and clear it.
    If you clear the exam obviously u will be reconised as a SAP certified consutant over the other non-certified consultants. you will have the upper hand in the interviews and in views with dignity.
    You will be proud as well your confidence will increase a lot.
    But in case if you are not sure in clearing then plz dont take the exam and in case if you dont clear then you will be rejected and ur confidence level will come down. trust me. it is better to be like this rather than failing in the certification is'nt it
    Thanks & Regards,
    Kiran

  • Chances of getting job after doing ABAP SAP certification as a fresher?

    Hello everyone...
    I am a fresher.
    I want to do SAP Certification in ABAP Module.
    I wanted to ask everyone about the jobs opportunities for fresher in ABAP SAP.
    Is it advisable to do ABAP certification?
    what are the chances of getting a job after ABAP certification?
    Please help me with this doubt.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Parag,
    please understand that Certification never gurantees a job in SAP, although it will boost your Resume and will provide some extent of knowledge too, but it will not impact in your job hunt, so if you wants to do Certification only for job purpose, its not advisable.
    Yes, if you wants to appear in interview with an advantage of being a Certified professional, then you can take Certification.
    The reason behind it is that in Certification exams , theoritical questions are asked, but oin real time working there are so much difference in the work profile based on industry requirements, so real time experiences are always preffered to that of Certification in SAP.
    If you have any further queries, please revert.

  • My SAP Certification Voucher cannot be used

    Hi
    I purchased a Voucher from SAP on  FEB 27 2014 worth 500$ for my SAP certification exam i.e., C_TADM70_73 and scheduled for my exam on AUGUST 15th 2014, due to some unavoidable situation i couldn't able to take certification exam on that day, and i get it cancelled it by calling Pearson customer care.
    and  now today when i am trying to schedule it for the same certification and using the same Voucher, it is saying it is saying the Voucher has been already used at pearsonview website, when i called pearsonview they said it has been used by someone else or a  voucher corrupted.
    now i am talking to SAP Education north america, see if they can fix it or at least find who used it.
    does anyone face this kind of issue before.
    here i am worried because my voucher will expire on august 31 2014(Technically i must have to use it by August 29 2014). not sure if SAP can fix this by that time.
    Thanks
    Kishore Ch 

    Normally these vouchers are valid for one year.
    If you are genuinely not used, you do not need to worry about that, it must be a technical issue. I am sure SAP Education should be able to help you.
    If it is used, they will every record that who has used, when is used and for which exam it is used.
    Please talk to SAP Education, they would be able to assist you.

  • Need help in deciding the right SAP certification.

    Hello Expert,
    Need some help in deciding upon an SAP certification. I am 4+ years experienced in SAP ABAP. Is there any value add in doing ABAP certification or should i go ahead and do something on the lines of Netweaver, MDM or CRM ???
    Please advise.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Josin George

    Hi Josin
    CRM surely has a good future so you could spend time and efforts in learning more into that on the job.
    As for certification, I recommend that you work for more 2 years and go for the Professional certification (ABAP) rather than "Associate". It will be a value addition for sure.
    Please search these forums and also take others' opinions relating to CRM / ABAP certifications.
    Cheers!

  • Does SAP create missing files TRACExx when starting up?

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a documentation regarding a system copy from a productive system to a consolidation system.
    We're using Sun Solaris 10/64Bit with Oracle 10g2 and Netweaver 7.00.
    In the directory /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS_xx/log there are several files SAP uses:
    - ALALERTS
    - ALMTTREE
    - ALPERFHI
    - ENQBCK
    - SLOGxx
    - TRACE
    - TRACE00...TRACE07
    My question concerns the TRACE-files. Only the file TRACE seems to be used by the consolidation system, but there are still eight files TRACE00 up to TRACE07 that were last accessed in 2008 and before.
    These files are filled with data from former consolidation systems that got overwritten everytime by the system copy. Now, after the new copy, the SAP system is still down. May I delete these files? Does SAP create these files new when starting up?
    Greetz, Uwe.

    Hi,
    Yes you can delete those files at any time. Check SAP Note 16513, it may help you.
    Thanks,

  • SAP Certification from Pune.

    Hi Experts,
    I've SAP domain experience of about 6 years in MM module and wish to enroll for SAP Certification course. Can I know which of these institutes (Genovate or Delphi Computech) from Pune - India are best from both training as well as placement point of view. Interested in Faculty training program.
    Also need to know if my academic qualification will hamper my placements after course completion as I'm Diploma Holder in Electrical Engg.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Mohsin

    Hi,
    Have you already worked on SAP as a enduser / coreuser ? or you just want to do the certification to come in SAP ?
    Because if you already working in SAP with any of above role then it can make big difference in matter of Salary & Position if you want to switch to other company or if you just have domain experience and want to do SAP Certification then don't depend on any job assistant or job guarantee program just focus on study and clear the certification because you are good at your domain so you can do better at SAP as well but go for faculty program only.
    You can consider doing at Genovate because they have both Instructor as well as online based program and having good experience then any other certified institute in Pune.
    Thanks,
    Saleem

  • Does SAP Support the "XML Process Definition Language" (XPDL)

    Does SAP support XPDL. IF not what is the alternative standard that they support?
    regards,
    Thomas

    As far as I know there isn't any support for XML process description language. they only alternative is OMG BPDL, which is still under work.
    Many people tend to compare XPDL to BPEL, although it is not so right. I think that this link http://kswenson.wordpress.com/2006/05/26/bpmn-xpdl-and-bpel/ explain it.

  • Does SAP ECC6 support advance tax return (rfumsv00)/GST reporting for USA a

    Does SAP ECC6 support advance tax return (rfumsv00)/GST reporting for USA and Canada?

    Hello
    I think it does.
    However please check this
    In some countries, you cannot use the general program for tax returns to create the annual tax return because of specific national reporting requirements. For these countries, SAP delivers additional country-specific programs to meet these reporting requirements.
    For the individual country-specific reports, see the General Ledger menu under Reporting ® Tax Reports.
    The program RFUSVX10 performs the data medium exchange, allowing you to transfer the DME file to a hard drive or diskette. You can find more information on this topic in the program documentation.

  • Verifying which photos will be skipped BEFORE doing an import.

    When doing an import, is there any way to tell which photos will be considered "duplicates" BEFORE I actually do the import?  It's a little complicated to explain, but I'm in a situation where when I do an import, I sometimes end up importing photos that I thought would be skipped as duplicates.  When this happens, I have to go though hundreds of photos and manually select and delete all the duplicates.  If I could see that this was going to happen BEFORE doing the import -- i.e. if Lr could give me a list of photos that would be skipped before doing the import rather than after it -- I could take appropriate actions before doing the import.
    Thanks,
    Larry

    You could set up a smart collection to pick up files with "-2" in the name.
    But why the copying back and forth? Can you not keep your catalogue pointed at the central drive? If for example you need to go offline or have local copies for a while, you could use the Update Folder Location to switch the catalogued folder between your local drive or the central one. It sounds like there''s some aspect of your workflow that's making things in LR unnecessarily awkward.
    John
    The "-2" could pick up other files.  I use dates in names, so "2009-08-20" would be picked up by the search.
    Regarding the "copying back and forth," the issue stems from the fact that the "central drive" is NOT a "Lr" drive.  The photos on this drive are accessed by more than one person using more than one application.  This would lead to complications if I actually manipulated these photos in Lr since each person would have to constantly worry about keeping everything in sync, including making corrections or changes to the folder structure.  By having a completely separate copy of everything on my own "local" drive I don't have to worry about this.  I also end up with a completely "clean" backup copy of all my photos on the main drive in case anything gets corrupt in Lr (although I do also keep ANOTHER backup of my LOCAL drive, so I have multiple redundant backups.)
    As I mentioned earlier, it's difficult to completely explain all the aspects of the setup, but suffice it to say that it evolved over time based on the issues that arose for us.  There are a LOT of factors to consider given any particular situation (too many to even list off the top of my head), but my setup satisfies "most" of my parameters in relatively simple ways.  Unfortunately, there is no way to completely resolve "every" issue (hence this thread) -- my setup is simply the best approach I've found given MY particular needs.
    In other words, given all of my (our) particular needs, I don't believe that this setup is "unnecessarily" awkward.  It's perhaps more complex than other setups, but given the situation of multiple people, multiple networked systems, and multiple applications, I think it's actually "relatively" straight forward.
