Training Suggestion: What module of SAP should start with

I am a senior technical consultant currently working for an IT consulting/service/developer company. I am an M. Sc. in Computer Science and System Engineering with 15+ years of experience. Recent assignment with Performance Measurements and Testing project for HR and CRM applications of a public corporation encouraged me to get trained with SAP.
But I don't know from where to start ?
Here is a summary of my skill sets:
- Applications and Test tools development in JAVA and C (mostly Linux based)
- Interface development for load testing of Web Services using SOAP-UI (Linux based)
- Performance test development of web based and SAP applications using HP VuGen (Loadrunner)
- Embedded system development using C, VxWorks
- Expert in UNIX (Linux), MySQL
Recent interaction with SAP:
- Performance test development for an HR and CRM modules (entry through web portal)
I would prefer to stay within technical arena. Please suggest me which module of the SAP should I start with for a formal training.
Thanks.

Hi Ravi:
Thanks for your advice.
As you said, "There are already number of consultants in the area of Basis and ABAP". Did you mean, the market is "crowded" ?
If you really suggest me "BI" is a good choice as a "technical" person, which module of the BI I could start with ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
any self-programmed programs should start with Z or Y. Otherwise it should be, that it will be overwritten if you have an sap update, new release, oss, .......
And you need a key from sap, if you want to create a program with an other beginning.

Trying to install Elements 13 and it asks for a serial number. The instructions say the number should start with 1057 but there is no code on the disks, box or envelopes the disks came in that start with 1057. I cannot activate the software without this code and it is a Christmas gift to my wife. HELP!

I had this problem. There are actually two boxes. The outside one with the photos and stuff and glued into it is another box containing the disks. That box has the serial number. Adobe was NO help with this as if no one else ever could not find it. I had to rip open the outer box.

What's the downside of starting with Logic Express?

I'm moving up from Garageband, and I record on a Macbook Pro with a Presonus Firepod interface.
I'm trying to decide whether to start with Express or Logic Studio. I think that Express will suit my needs fine, but at any rate, it seems like there's no downside as Express is $199 and the upgrade to Studio is $299. So even if I start with Express and decide I need Studio, it won't cost me any more than the full version of Studio anyway ($499).
Does anyone have an opinion?

Honestly, I think your original question answers itself. You are right on target in your thoughts. You can buy LE8 now and, if you decide to upgrade later, you can upgrade for a price that wouldn't cost you more than the original purchase of Logic Studio. I just purchased the upgrade from LE7, and the reason why I used LE instead of Logic Pro is that I refuse to use software with dongles. By adding external plugins and instruments, I was able to do pretty much what a Logic Pro user could do in my position (the extra features such as HDM support were unnecessary to me). Now, though, with what Logic Studio offers, I decided that $300 was a pretty sweet upgrade. Still, I could do a lot with LE7. LE 8, of course, is much, much better.
So, jump in to Logic Express 8 and see if it does what you want. One things for sure, though, and that is LE8 is a serious DAW out of the box for an incredible price.

Sequence should start with 000001 how?

I need to create a sequence which starts with 000001 i used this query to create
CREATE SEQUENCE sundayINCREMENT BY 1
MINVALUE 000001
MAXVALUE 999999
START WITH 000001
But the sequence is stating with 1 not 000001.

That will be because the number "000001" and "1" are exactly the same thing.
Oracle won't store the extra 0's, because it would be a pointless waste of space!
If you're wanting to display the column containing the sequence number in a particular format, why not store the sequence as a number, and then format it whenever it is viewed eg:
select to_char(1, 'fm099999') from dual;
000001

Value should start with zero

Hi experts
I have a target field whose values should generate starting from zero
I am using gen_row_num but it starts from 1
Any Suggestions Please
Thanks
Madhu

Hello
So, you need the value to be one less than the one that is generated? Simple maths suggests subtracting 1 from the generated value will give you what you require.
gen_row_num() - 1

SAP not starting with VMC parameters. SAP_ES2_03_000 file exists

Hi All,
I have a problem in starting the system. If I disable the following instance parameters, I am able to start SAP, however we need VMC as well.
vmcj/option/ps = 128M
vmcj/enable = on
vmcj/option/maxJavaHeap = 200M
It was working with above parameters, so we are sure the parameter values are correct. Eventhough some sapnote says that, we need to set the vmcj/option/ps value to higher value.
After some abrupt sapstop, we are not able to start SAP again. It is always failing with the reason /SAP_ES2_03_000 file exists. I am not able to get this file in /tmp or /proc filesystem. Is there any way to check where SAP_ES2_03_000 file is located ?
Here is dev_disp log file. we are on AIX os. Please guide me.

Can I use one purchase of Acrobat on more than one computer? I work on a desk top, lap top, and netbook. Do I have to purchase multiple copies or what? (PS -- If I start with a free trial download, how long can it be used for?)

How many times can I use Acrobat Pro on my three compters -- the desk top, lap top, the net book. Do I have to make multiple purchases?

Hi markala,
As per the End User License Agreement a single purchase of retail license for Acrobat is good for 2 computers.
If you want to install it on 3 machines you need to procure a volume license.

What happened to the 'Getting started with video' forum?

Where is it? I have not been able to find it anywhere since the change to the new forums.

Changing Status of document should start workflow

Hi WF-experts,
another issue I have to deal with:
My WF should start after the status of a document has been changed.
The process is that the customer creates a document and saves the entries (status is "in process"). Later he wants to have the opportunity to change the sales document. If he sets the status to "for approval" the WF should start (with the approval process).
First I defined the event "CREATED" as start event but that is not right. I enhanced my business object (BUS200115) with a new event and mentioned that one in the start event tab of my workflow. But it does not work.
Do I have to define an action profile?
How can I start my workflow after changing a status of a sales document which was already created?
Thanks a lot

Depending on the type of document, you can trigger the event by change of status:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c5/e4aee2453d11d189430000e829fbbd/content.htm
For example this works for "classic" SAP objects like production orders, document management documents, etc, and is a very nice way to handle it, because you can easily customize your status profile to support your business process. These status profiles are maintained in the IMG or transaction BS02 (BS22 displays system statuses for objects that use this status type).
I've noticed that a lot of newer SAP components don't support this though.
I hope it is helpful, if not in this case maybe in the future.

Which Oracle Certification Should I Start With

Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on which Oracle certification I should start with. Let me first tell you about me and my business goals. I an new to the SQL world but have a firm grasp of the RDBMS. I have also worked as a Business Analyst for a company that is doing an Oracle upgrade including the EBS. I have had to do some very basic queries. My business goal is to improve my Oracle database skills.
I would like to add Business (Data) Analyst to my job description some day. I would like to be both a Business Analyst and a Business Data Analyst. I have been asked to work as a jr. DBA in the past, and would like to continue to pursue those options. Currently, my work seems to evolve around Oracle as opposed to the other businesses out there.
Given this information, which certification would you recommend I start with. Please let me know if you require additional information. This is my long term business goal so I will take as much time as needed to get it done. I was thinking I should start with *1Z0-051 SQL Fundamentals I* (11g). Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

Any thoughts?You could get this certificate as a first steps. If you want to be expert on dba subjects than you need to go OCA and OCP certification path.
If you get to Business Analyst than you can go wiht ebs certification

But dont forget those subjects are different from eachother and need different skills to become senior on those subjects

How to Start With Digital Signature

Hi Wolfgang,
I open this thread in reference of the discuss in thread
Logon Failed using SSL Client Certificate
I copy the text:
Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks for your quick response...
I don't have very clear what I want to use or which is the best way...I'm still in researching stage...:-) and customer hasn't allready specified what he wants...
We want to research and learn as many as we can to offer to customer the best alternative...
All I know is that customer would need:
- Single sign-on to the system, including SAP systems and Portal
- Digital signing documents.
They work with a local CA called Izenpe (www.izenpe.com) and they give you a SmartCard with your key...
I've found program SSFSDEMO and it works ok: it calls 'izenpe's libraries and sign the document ok. But I find the problem that the moment I call SSFS_CALL_CONTROL function I lose program control... I would prefer customize SAP using SIGNO,SIGNA, ELSIG00, ELSIG01...transactions to allow SAP user to sign or not, but sign with my certificate...
I don't have any external security product to configure...as far as I know customer is against paying for an any other product...
I've tried to sign using SSF* functions but as I've read it only runs to sign in WAS, is it true? it is not possible to sign in local? I allways get signature with server certificate, but not with my own certificate... :-((
What do you think? How do I start? Which is the best way?
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards.

Hello Urtzi,
to build a solution that meets the customer requirements (single sign-on to the system, including SAP systems and Portal, and digital signing documents - all using digital certificates), the customer will need a certified 3rd-party solution. If you want to investigate, you should start with the SAP Software Solution Partner Catalog at [http://sspcatalog.sap.com/catalog/index.jsp], and search for SSO and digital signature.
