Hi,

>>>Which is the best place to take it? (country)

country doesn't matter

ask your SAP representative who will

be teaching you

then write to him/her @sap.com

and ask some questions if you have any

and also if you're able to ask questions

during the course

Hi,

The TBIT40 course was quite useful as an introduction to Xi, and was ideal to get you started off with XI.

However, apparently SAP is phasing these out slowly, and releasing new courses namely BIT400 (5 days), BIT430 (2 days), BIT440 (2 days) and BIT450 (2 days).

I am not sure of the course content of these, or when they are going to be available. The best thing to do is to contact the SAP Education representative in your country and find out what courses are being offered and when.

Thanks guys for the answer.

another question then will be what is your suggestion

to learn XI from your experience?

Hi,

I think ideally , you should attend the course first. This will give you a starting point, and give you enough exposure to XI so that you are not lost when you see it on project

sites.

The next step would be to get hands-on project experience, because no training will cover all the scenarios and problems that a live projet can throw at you.

Hi Mushon,

cannot agree with the answer about the courses.

As far as you can see on the SAP Training pages the TBIT courses are for certification and the content of TBIT40 is definitely different from BIT400 e.g. as more detailed and working with different exercises.

Learning XI depends on your own skills and abilities.

As you are working with different adapter techniques it could be really hard to work with it as you are often starting from scratch (how can you generate an HTTP source, how is JDBC working....)

And XI is sometimes a bad boy. Have a look at the threats here about lots of problems.

As there is a big difference between the theorie and practise, ....you need to work on real problems asap as this helps more than reading in any documentation or trying to build your own comm.scenarios only for training reason.

But with some perseverance and willingness to puzzle

you will have your success and fun in working with XI!

And if the worst comes to the worst ... there is always a lot of help offered at the SDN!
