Career as BASIS Admin

Former Member · ‎2010 Jan 30

Dear All,

I am working on SAP since last 1 year on BASIS.

I have total more than 10 years of experiance and I am good on Oracle DBA activity (in Unix, Windows and Linux environment), Oracle Developer and good knowledge of general O/S administration.

I have both as DBA and Developer experience. I have also OCP Certification in Oracle 9i.

After that I got opportunity to work on BASIS. Due to my privious experience in Software, Database, O/S administratoin, now I am good familierwith BASIS activity and exploring more.

My question is I also want to learn ABAP.

As per my experienace if I learn ABAP, it can helpful to me in future.

Can I get future assignment on all the skills on which I have a experiance ?

Thanks,

Nt

Hi,

Hello,

I would not believe that but I have a colleague, it is a woman (!!) who was working as as AM and FI consultant in a non-SAP company then moved to SAP basis team (a woman doing basis (!!) ) and now is doing SAP FI. Everybody who is intersted can do the basis and move to other field I think. The only problem is if your background "helps" you with the programming. She has never programmed a line herself. But she is not that bad in the consulting:))

Hi,

your background in the developing will help you to understand ABAP which is based on SQL.

By this way you have a very good base for both SAP Basis and ABAP. Me personaly I came from ABAP to BASIS SO we meet on the way....

Good chance

Best regards
