Hi Narasimha,

ABAP would be a good module for you, since you have programming and debugging skills. But please note there are lot of ABAPers in the market.

Another option you may consider is BASIS, this module basically related to the server administration and maintenance.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Kalyan.

Hi Narasimha ,

Good Programming and Debugging skills can help in SAP ABAP module . But currently there are lot of abapers in the market so be ready to face and handle the tough competition if you chosse this.

Else you can also try as HANA Developer . The hottest topic these days and would remain so for atleast next 5-7 years. You need to be lucky enough to learn and get your hands in this evolving technology .

Thanks

Hi Narasimha,

Having experience and exposure to mainframe will compliment you in SAP in many ways. If you did mainframe programming for business applications then you can explore the following (BI/BO/BW/HANA), do some research about these and see which matches your experience in coding and interest. At the moment there are many people (freshers & experienced) looking for jobs in SAP domain in multiple domains so you must see what are the possibilities of you getting a job soon after training.

HANA is going to be the default database for almost all products of SAP in the future due to many reasons such as 1. Performance. 2. It's a product of SAP. the integration of multiple products using a single platform on a single database. Take sometime and research on every aspect and then take a decision. Keep reading the blogs, articles, and Q&A at SCN as it will help you in many ways.

Good Luck.
