Career Path of XI consultant

[Former Member]

Dear friends

I am a new comer in this field. So, I really need your help about how to grow up to be a XI consultant.

Currently, I am certified as SD and ABAP consultant.

I have workflow and IDoc experience. And also business senario knowledge such as finance, cost and logistics(mm/sd).

So, what more I should learn?

BIT standard material?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Minghan,

You should go through the BIT standard material to give you an idea of what XI is, and how you can work with it. Along with that, if you should learn about XML. Optionally, you could also learn about protocols like SOAP and XSLT.

But, as always, the best way to reinforce your learning is by practice. So get access to an XI sandbox system, and start doing things on it. There are plenty of practice and demo scenarios available from SAP that will serve as an excellent starting point for you.

Cheers

Hi,

<i>what more I should learn?

</i>

You have a lot of abap and sd functional knowledge, so in addition a bit of xml,xsl will help you in mapping in sapxi, webservices idea and using wsdl, and a bit of basic java with sax and dom parsers will help you in java mappings, If you can learn ejb that will help you to write advanced modules of adapters in sapxi.

Thats all i can think as of now in addition.

<i>BIT standard material </i>

Yes,TBIT materials and SDN library will be enough i guess.

This is my personal opinion about your question.

Welcome to sap xi from my side.

All the best!!
