Business Objects

[Former Member]

Hi,

I wish to see myself as part of SAP BI projects in teh future. I am not comfortable in coding like ABAP and I would want to get into the reporting side of BI. Now, has the business objects been fully integrated into the SAP BI? if so, will there be demand for business objects professionals in any SAP BI projects?

suppose if i learn bex and crystal or bex and web intelligence, will this skill set be considered fo SAP BI openings?

Yes i was exactly in the same situation some years ago and i passed from ABAP to BI it was a interesting, BI is a different world, and with your ABAP skills you have advantage because always is needed some codification for extractors or enhancements.

Now in BO is the same thing you can know BO only but the integration with BI is necesary for some customers and know both platforms is a very good skill..

I recommend you to focus on one of them; BO is now on top, and integration with BI is important but its more difficult, you need more time to learn BI than BO.

You must decide how to begin.

Good Luck

hi Oscar,

thanks for the reply. but, my interests lie in the reporting side of BO. do you feel learning BO reports like crystal is alone beneficial in getting into SAP BI projects?

Thanks ,

Learning Crystal can be your entry point to the usage of the BO tools. Crystal Reports can be used to report on SAP BI data (among other data sources) so you are definitely not doing anything wrong here.

For sure SAP will support and develop the Crystal Reports product line also in the future.

Like Efstratios said maybe in future Crystal will be again a good option, in my experience all my customers use Webi and Xcelsius, im a consultant and this is the package that SAP is trying to sell most of the times....if you want to learn BO try first with Webi and Xcelsius.
