learn SAP HANA

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have been working as SAP-B2B integrator for past 8 years. Worked on ABAP and integration tools like  sap pi, seeburger, etc... Now I am planning to switch my platform. I have heard about SAP BI, HANA but doesn't have much knowledge about it.. I am also thinking about learning functional modules like WM/PP/SD, etc.. Can you please suggest if it fine to learn BI/HANA with my background or should I learn different module?

Thanks for your suggestion..

Hi Sunitha ,

Better to start with the SAP BOBI 4 Reporting tools , once you are comfortable with this tools then start learning SAP HANA.

At the end all reporting will takes place in either SAP BO Reporting tools or other reporting tools.

If you have good understanding of any database how its works.. this is enough to start lerning SAP HANA.

Sunitha,

Welcome to the World of SAP BI!

Please pick one area to start (i.e: SAP BW or SAP HANA) and learn the area and since you are new, also plan on getting certified. If you opt to do functional area - you do not need to lear SAP BI (BW or HANA) - stick to one area that you think you can bring value.

Based on your data integrator knowledge and background, I suggest BW or HANA as a better fit.

Good luck!
