Dear Kumar.P,

You have a good wish, But you didn't let us know what is your education back ground.

If you are a computer graduate and got good knowledge on programming languages jump in a technical consultant. You can do this by learning ABAP and Netweaver XI or Java Programming + Netweaver XI or Netweaver with Java and ABAP is good.

If you don't have computer programming knowledge and got domain knowledge about any of the modules, then learn that particular domain base SAP module.

Best of Luck for you future.

If you have knowledge about the programming and logical power is strong you can make it.

Programming is not so difficult.

For XI it required few Java knowledge and rest all is configuration related so I think not much problem.

If you have Basic ABAP knowledge you can start with learning XI.

Hi

Its not mandatory to have domain knowledge, if you have it will be an added advantage. But as you work in SAP, you will learn it on your own. Yes, everything is good in SAP. If you are an Abaper, its good, if you are an Xi Consultants its good.If you know Abap + Xi its awsome, But you cannot compare, its like you cannot compare a pizza and a cake.

The best way to learn would be SDN and reading lots of material from the net.

Hope this clears your doubts

Thanks

Hi Kumar,

If ur from computer back ground then there is no such need for domain knowledge

in SAP there are many modules .SAP is broadly divided into major 2 categories one is Functional and Technical

For SAP ABAP if u have a knowledge of any progamming language like C++,JAVA it would be helpfull

and SAP XI it is added advantee if u have a knwoledge in ABAP

Thanx
