What is BW and how is the career prospect for BW?

Hi All I am Navin and I am in the BPO sector and decided to shift to SAP BW and I don't know anything about programming. I am interested in joining in BW and want to know about the career prospects in that. Experts please advice me!!!!!!

Hi Navin,
Unfortunately, as I found out, everything in SAP requires coding to solve problems which are unique to each customer requirement.
The applications are configurable by clicking. But these are always limited by the functionality of configurability. Coding is always necessary for any bw consultant. In fact, many customer requirements can only be met by coding. So if you are thinking of clicking here and there to work as bw consultant, then I am afraid I have bad news for you.
Its all about coding.
You can still be a bw consultant not doing any coding and leave it to a developer to do that but then, you will soon become obsolete as the developer will learn what you know as you tell them your requirement. Learning to click here and there is simple.
To make yourself a valuable consultant , you must do the coding like BAPIs and Start Routines and Update Rules and Function modules and ..... in fact, BW developer is about an Abapper + BW configuration + functional consultant + BPX.
Come to think of it, BW consultants should be valued more.
Hope this helps a bit.

Career Prospect for SAP IS OIL

Hi Dear Community Members,
I need your valuable suggestions and insight before I move on to the Oil & Gas Industry.
I had a IT Degree and I am in the IT industry for 10 years. I am now planning to venture into the Oil & Gas Industry as this industry has an overall promising career & a job security. Therefore I had the initiative to take on the SAP IS OIL Module hoping to break into the O&G Industries, however I am unsure how SAP IS OIL has an overall impact to the Oil & Gas Sector, like :
What is the current market share for Oil Companies using SAP Solutions and SAP IS Module?
What are the career prospects for a SAP OIL Consultant? In terms of job stability and future career path
What are the markets in the US, UK and Europe for SAP IS OIL? As I am planning to migrate there.
I am looking forward to your kind advice and input. Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers,
Gary

Hi Gary,
Overall if you want to be in SAP IS-Oil, one or more of the following skill is required:
SAP PRA
SAP JVA
SAP PSA/PSE
SAP Controlling
SAP Finance
Second: Its always good if you have process experience in Oil & Gas - Upstream, Downstream or Midstream comanies. If you have not then its desirable that you have some process experience as you will feel the need of it when you are learing the above module. Without knowing the modules it is a challenge.
Third: Demand of IS- Oil is good and not bad however this is focussed in specific locations around the world like : US-Texas- Houston (Energy Hub), Canada, Middle east etc.
Fourth: Considering the fact that oil prices are down now, it will probably take 6 months to 1 year time for the boom to come. so probably this is not same time to venture immediately but learning this for near futute might prove beneficial.
Thanks & Regards

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. Tried it 10 times with the same result. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

Hi
And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
Troubleshooting note
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
Creating a new User-Account and log into this
This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
This You do by
First - close iPhoto
Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
Thirdly - now select all five options presented
THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
Screen must be set to million-colors
Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

My iPod Shuffle (4th Generation) flashes red when I put it in the USB drive. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Earlier today, I tried to use my shuffle, but for some reason, not only did it not play music, it gave a tri-tone. When I put it into the USB of my computer, the light flashed red for a moment then stopped. My iPod does not show up on iTunes nor My Computer. Can someone tell me what is wrong and how to fix this?

If the toolbar installed something into the rest of the system, you will see an entry in the Control Panel in the software uninstall applet which should be removed. You might need to make a new profile if you cannot find an extension that has something to do with the toolbar.

Hi
The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
(Or just set the fader manually in MS)
