Hello All...

need your help.

I am currently working on SAS technology as a SAS Developer. I want to learn SAP. But have confusion between SAP-ABAP and SAP-BI/BW.

Which one will be good for me? SAS gives me basic BI background so thought of BI/BW.

& Will I get job after the course completion. I am having 2.5 years experience on SAS.

Please help..

Thanks...:)

ABAP is regarding to coding purpose. If you choose ABAP module, then your work will be just coding as per the functional specification logic.

I don't know much about BI/BW, but I heard, these modules are also good modules.

Choice is yours. Choose whatever you like to do.

Hi,

Module selection is totally depend on your interest.

ABAP - is purely technical and coding work. if you have strong skill on coding then you can choose ABAP module.

BW - its data warehouse. its techno-functional. You don't need any special skills to learn BW. its easy to  understand the BW concepts.As per business needs we need to design data flow by using BW architecture(extended start concept).After design of data flows we need to load the data from different sources and do the reporting by using Bex tools(Bex designer/analyzer).

BW have 3 major areas.,

1. Modeling/Designing.

2. ETL - Extraction,transferring and loading

3. Reporting - Bex tools.

Thanks
