Hi,
I am an abapper. I wish to get into BI/BW. I believe there are roles like ETL, reporting side of BI. Are there jobs exclusive for reporting side of BI like, BI query design etc??
do u think a skill set like abap enhancement+reporting query side of BI is a decent profile?

Munna.

Hi Munna,
ETL is nothing but Extraction, Transformation and loading in BI.
Surely, skill set like abap enhancement and BI reporting query is a very decent profile.
generally BI Consultants with knowledge of ABAP are preferd first as compare to people only with BI knowledge.
hope this helps.

Many thanks mahesh. But with business objects becoming part and parcel of front end of BI, do you think BEx query tools still have their presence in the market?
Thanks,

Hi
BI and with ABAP combination , the cunsultants rocks. because in case if there in any enhancement made for the modeling and reporting part you can definitely use the abap skills and customize the as per the requiremet.
under stand the dataflow in BI, t think if you understand the flow in BI most definitely yes you can work on the BI system.

Hi,
To begin with, will there be any role exclusively in front end part of BI in SAP BI projects?that is, with respect to query design etc.
Can there be an SAP BI consultant who have worked on query design alone or ETL alone?
thanks,
