You don't require JAVA Knowledge to learn BI. your ABAP Lnowledge is OK.

Try to get some functional knowledge so that it will help in report requirement gathering stage.

Hi Abdul,

You do not need knowledge of java, but an understanding of Data warehousing or basics on the same definitely helps.

ABAP knowledge is always helpful as whenever you need to code some logic or debug some standard program in BI implementation, it comes in handy.

Abdul,

As you are into SAP R/3-ABAP you could easily get into SAP BI.You dont need java skills unless you want to do some portal stuff where you need java/html/javascript .
