Hi,

There are various options:

1. Netweaver/XI

2. BW

3. EP

But ABAP would still be requried. You can also learn JAVA. Advanced ABAP concepts viz BADI, BAPI, USer-Exit, IDOC etc.

Hi Naveen,

Its great that ur company wants u to upgrade. First see which area interests you. Then if u know a bit of java u can go for EP or XI. you can go for BIW with Java. Also consider what your company actually wants you to be in. Consider all these facts and then take time do the research and then learn a new technology. Since the direction you are going to take shud be there for sometime to come in future.

All the Best

Hi Naveen,

Yes Webdynpro also has good scope. You can also look for MDM/APO.

It completely depends upon your interest. As such ABAP is always going to be there. Its not going to be completely obselete.
