Welcome to XI..

XI developer needs basic Java coding skills, understanding of XML and good to know about SOAP protocol. ABAP knowledge would be added advantage. XI Fresher.. opportunities must originate from your company itslef.. if you are already employed and on an XI project. Getting directly in to XI.. might not be feasible without experience. Though a certification might help you..

All the Best..

Hi Arvind Subramaniam ,

>>Can i start my career as XI fresher?

Yes. It is a good Netweaver technology & u can either try as a developer or at Admin side. But there r good oppurtinities as a XI Developer.

>>what are the basic requirements i should have if i go for XI training?

XI is configuration type & maximum stuff wil be mapping . But , sometimes there arises a need to import JAVA code into XI. Hence if u know JAVA/J2EE it's a added advantage.

All the best for u'r success in future!

These r some excellent websites on basics of XI which familarizes u with XI:

Hi Arvind

Pre-Requisites for XI is Basic Java and ABAP knowledge even if you dont know these, you will eventually get knowledge once you begin.

SAP XI is in great demand and according to my perception it will remain in demand in the market.

To elaborate what is XI / where it stands? read..........

Netweaver is a technology developed by sap.

Netweaver Purpose:

SAP NetWeaver provides an open integration and application platform and permits the integration of the Enterprise Services Architecture. You can unify business processes across technological boundaries, integrate applications for your employees as needed, and access and edit simple information easily and in a structured manner.

Integration

SAP NetWeaver is the basis for all SAP solutions on a given hardware. The business applications and the SAP xApps use the key areas of SAP NetWeaver

SAP NetWeaver has 4 layers which are as follows:

• People Integration:

•  Multi-channel access

•  Portal

•  Collaboration

• Information Integration:

•  Business Intelligence

•  Knowledge Management

•  Master Data Management

• Process Integration:

•  Integration Broker

•  Business Process Management

• Application Platform:

•  Java

•  ABAP

•  Business Services

•  SAP Knowledge Warehouse

The <b>third layer</b> process integration covers <b>SAP XI</b>

Arvind,

SAP XI is a very good EAI Tool. How ever, if you are gonna look at it from your career perspective, then I would suggest against SAP XI trainings at this stage. My reasons..

You are a fresher just out of college. It is tougher even for guys with 2+ yrs experinece in ABAP to get a role in XI. XI is still an emerging tool and it is not yet widely used by many comapnies.

Hi arvind,

Welcome to SAP xi. Right now you have much knowledge in Java as you are an MCA guy, Now you just feel SAP Xi too. It really entertain you, if you keep some will power at training time. That's it.

Just have some basics on ABAP, and get in to XI. Me also have the background like you.

All the best.

Pnts if it helps.

Dear Arvind,

You are in right way to choose SAPXI And definately in terms of XI future i am talking about.

There is a huge demand of xi persons.Actually this is the hottest middle ware these days.

Many legacy system are using this and many other middle ware are getting migrated into SAP Xi.

as you are MCA student So no need to ask about JAVA and any oops skill.

Little ABAp knowledge will help you.

SAPXI is itself is a ocean and i will gurrentee that you will enjoy it.

IT will not only help you to understand SAPXi but other middle ware as well(Bit).

You need only your will power for going for its training.

Always look for anyupdate in sapxi in sdn.

Always looks for new type of error and new type of developement in sapxi.

for any help you can contact any of us.

*PS:reward point if useful**
