Hi,

I am a new to XI. Is it OK to just learn JAVA or is it just ABAP or we need to learn to both in order to survive in XI. I know it will be good to learn both. Also can somebody give me some PDF files or forums or online sources where I can learn ABAP.

Thank You

Hi Sonia,

ABAP is a must to learn if you want to survive in any field related to SAP.....

now talking wrt to XI....

ABAP is required for

1. Coding ABAP proxies.

2. ABAP mapping

JAVA is required for

1. Coding JAVA proxies

2. JAVA Mapping

3. coding in UDF (user defined functions in mapping)

also you will need to learn XML related XSLT and Xpath...they are also req a lot in SAP XI.

ABAP is a vast field ....Abap tht is required for SAP XI is limited....just u need to learn the basics.....like

1.declaring variables

2.calling functions

3.calling outbound proxies...

4.reading proxie structures...

5.creating and using internal tables....

thr are lot of resources ...sdn itself is a big resource for any abap material you want..!!

Thanks and Regards,,

HI

Its better if u learn java and ABAP.I can say that ABAP is useful for all i.e for EP,XI etc.Coming to java its better to know core java.In XI we will deal with SAX and DOM.So its good if u have knowledge on it.

Hi Sonia,

> Is it OK to just learn JAVA or is it just ABAP or we need to learn to both in order to survive in XI.

It depends on your tasks. At first, you need neither.

But if you

- write user defined functions, you have to use Java.

- need information out of an R/3 system, you probably have to write an RFC program, for which you need ABAP.

- use Java and/or ABAP mapping, you obviously need experience in these languages.
