XI or General ABAP certification?

Hi friends.
greetings for the day.
this is Prashant.I have around 3 years of wrking exp in General ABAP....for certification Siemen's HR people suggested me to go for XI(exchange Infrastructure) certifaication rather than General ABAP.....so i have no idea about scope and benifits of SAP XI .plz suggest me if ON-LINE training in SAP XI would be good choice for me or not..bcoz i have planned to do this certification by taking education/personal loan....so i thought to take suggestions from you b4 taking a huge loan.
need your valuable suggestions.
thnx
Prashnat Tiwari

Hi Prashant,
Certification is only an added advantage to ur career not a need. I wud suggest if u r workin in any company and have 3 yrs exp in ABAP then give certi through SAP Tech Ed as the price will be less around 12k whereas it will b more in institutes.
  XI is basically migration within SAP. Since there are a big bunch of ABAP ppl Siemens might have asked you for XI certi. To be more clear about XI follow this link:
/thread/929581 [original link is broken]
But i would rather suggest that instead of taking loan for mere certification get some hands on exp in any company and apply thru SAP Teched for certification.

Priyanka

  • Abap certification 4.6B to 4.6C Relevant documents requested

    Hi all,
    I prepared ABAP 4.6B (2000) certification material for my ABAP Certification. After I find that 4.6B exam is not available and they said only 4.6C (2003) available. Please can any one list the exact differences in between these two exams (I found that the difference is ABAP Objects - BC 401). Please confirm this and let me know if we have any other differences. Please provide the BC-401 document ( Mail it to [email protected]). I am struck at the moment.
    Please provide me any other info and other suggetions.

    Hello Mallela
    There should not be a big difference in the exams between 4.6B and 4.6C.
    Even at the Netweaver exam (6.40) which I passed 10 month ago a big portion of the questions were dealing with "basic" stuff. I you have not taken any exams yet I like to mention that you do not have to write down any answers but it is a multiple-choice test:
    - either a single answer is correct (then you will see radio-buttons at each possible answer) or
    - serveral answers are correct (checkboxes)
    Sample question: "Which modifications are possible with sorted internal tables?" => Of course you cannot append to such a table but must insert your entries.
    So, if you have a firm stand on BC430 (ABAP Dictionary), have developed quite a lot (-> BC400 basics of ABAP) and have some general understanding of ABAP-OO (BC401) you will be on the safe side. Also, have a general knowledge of the SAP Technology (guess corresponding to BC050) like the client-server technology.
    Official documents like the BC401 documents cannot be shared because SAP would not allow this. In any case, you will find plenty of information in the SAP online help.
    Finally, I highly recommend the weblog "ABAP 46C to 640 Delta Training" (/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2005/05/15/abap-46c-to-640-delta-training) by Thomas Jung, mainly as appetizer for you when you make the switch from 4.6x to 6.40.

  • Need info about c_taw12 abap certification exam

    Hi All,
        I have 3 years of experience in SAP ABPA and i would like to write the ABAP c_taw12 exam. Can any body please let me know what is producer to apply?  What are the exam criteria (mean experience)? Please provide me more detail information about the ABAP certification exam.

    <b>http://www.sap.com/asia/services/education/centres/index.epx</b>
    You can contact the education center nearest to ur location, they would guide you how to apply.
    They generally ask for 1 year working expereince in the company from which u r applying, but its not mandatory. If u r company sponsred, then no such pre-requisites.
    If u have 3 years exp in ABAP then clearing the certification wont be that tough, just follow the 5 books that SAP provides. The certification tests the conceptual knowledge of the candidate.

  • ABAP Certification questions

    Hi,
    2 questions on ABAP certification:
    1)  Are there any courses that are MANDATORY prior to taking the certification exam?  In other words, could I take the exam without having taken any formal courses if I should choose to do so?
    2)  What is the cost in USD to take the exam?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Andrew,
    This question should be rather posted at [SAP Certified Professionals|SAP Certification;, but I htink moderators will move that for you.
    As for the questions:
    1) There is no mandatory course, only recommended ones. If you feel strong enough with basics you don't need to take any of these. What SAP suggests is to accomplish TAW10, TAW11, TAW12 courses (depending on cert.exam you want to take). Either ABAP Developer for SAP Netweaver 2004 or latest one ABAP Developer for SAP Netweaver 7.0. Both are mostly covered in mentioned courses. Second one just requires some WEB dynpro knowledge and Unicode. You don't have to attend any of them, just look for the meterials and get prepared with them. TAW10 and TAW12 can be easily found in net, TAW11 is hard to get, but still you can learn from other SAP materials covering same topics.
    2) I don't know the cost in US, in Poland it cost me around $650 for Associate exam.
    Check directly on http://www.sap.com/usa/services/education/certification/index.epx for pricing and further details.
    Good luck!

    Marcin

    >

    Actually with a few changes you are close to a solution here.  There is way to get the output of the report and convert it to HTML.  You will need to have a little wrapper application around your report. You will have to run this wrapper as a background job or via RFC (pointing to destination NONE). Here is a sample:
    * SELECTION SCREEN LAYOUT                                              *
    selection-screen begin of block two with frame title text-002.
    parameter: prog like sy-repid.
    parameter: vari1 like raldb-variant.
    selection-screen end of block two.
    .....Other Processing....
    submit (prog) and return
               exporting list to memory
               using selection-set vari1.
      call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
           tables
                listobject = itab
           exceptions
                not_found  = 1.
      if sy-subrc ne 0.
        leave program.
      endif.
      call function 'WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT'
       exporting
    *    REPORT_NAME         =
         template_name       = 'WEBREPORTING_REPORT'
        tables
          html                = html_tab
          listobject          = itab.
    Once the data is converted into HTML it is more usable from WD.  You can't really display it directly within WD, but you could push it out as a file attachment from WD using cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response.
    This is a lot of work and I still think it might be easier to fire a linkToURL or Exit Plug and navigate to the ITS/WebGUI.

    Thanks,

    Hey buddy,
    If you are planning for a certification program now.....
    There are two options to get certified.....
    1. Classroom Training
    2. E-Learning
    1. Classroom Training.
    Here you get a Trainer during the Course.
    5 weeks Time Constraint to complete the program.
    Certification on 25th day of the course schedule.
    No looking back into the topics again once the schedule starts.
    2. E-Learning
    Here you wont get a trainer, but you have the option to place    your  doubts on the e-learning way.
    You need to complete 200 Hrs according to your flexi timings  ranging from minimum 5 weeks to max 4 months.
    Certification only on completion of 200 Hrs of e-learning.
    You have an option of looking back if some topics are not clear in you mind.
