Simple Way to Learn ABAP

Simple Way to Learn ABAP. We all know that is ABAP is SAPs language for programming.

Let me directly come to the point. SAP is all about managing the data and ABAP is all about processing the data and retrieving or placing data in the database.


How?
 Reports- We retrieve the data from back end database, do some processing and display the output on the list.
Scripts and Smartforms- Here, after processing we display the data in forms.
BDC- We have data from legacy system, that we place in database with the help of BDC.

So what exactly is required to Master ABAP...?

Its simple. Master the operations on Internal Tables. If you are strong at this part of ABAP- Internal tables and operations on Internal tables, you will find the whole ABAP turning out to be simple, easy and fun.

SAP ABAP Certification.

To my readers, by this time one thing must have been clear is that I dont give routine information in my blog. I give something that is happening in the market.

I always get questions like is it feasible to go for ABAP certification? What are my job prospects after I do certification?

This story is about a student of mine. A struggle of 6 months. She always aspired to be an ABAP consultant. She just finished her Engineering and is a fresher in the SAP ABAP domain. As we all know from the market trend, getting entry into the SAP domain as a fresher is a real challenge. But with proper planning, you can break this barrier.

After getting trained in ABAP, she decided to take the extra step and went for the certification. ABAP certification is costly but it has its own advantages. After completing certification in ABAP she was still left jobless. But success comes to those who keep up with their efforts without losing hope. And finally the day came. Now she has offer of two MNC giants Capgemini and Norhtgate and that also as a fesher with a good yearly package. And all this was the result of proper trining, certificaion and positive attittude with hard work. Wish you all the best for future.!

Webynpro ABAP- Platform for Other SAP Technologies


We all know ABAP, and worked hard to enter in to this domain. But with time SAP is constantly upgrading itself and we are left with no other choice but to upgrade ourself.

The trend is towards creating web based applications. Web Dynpro is SAP's state-of-the-art technology for creating application user interfaces (UIs). It helps you create web based applications in no time. It goes with descriptive programming approach, thereby reducing the code written by the developer. Hence it is important to learn Webdynpro ABAP.


Once done with Webynpro ABAP, the developer should move to the more advanced concept of FPM. FPM stands for floor plan manager and withhout this your webdynpro learning remains incomplete.


Once you are done with Webdynpro and FPM, your door to SAP's latest technology will open. I have got questions from many developers, asking they want to work with CRM technical object. But without knowing Webdynpro and FPM this can be a difficult task.

Webdynpro ABAP and FPM becomes the platform for other SAP's technology. BOPF- business object process framework, BOL and GeNIL programming. All this becomes a cake walk after learning Webdynpro ABAP and FPM.

Simple Tips For ABAP Interview: Three Types



Before I discuss about the type of interview first let me tell about the type of projects that ABAPers are recruited for. the type of projects are basically implementation, support and rollout. Now the Interview pattern can very much depend upon the type of project that the recruiter is recruiting for currently.
If it’s a implementation project he will ask you questions mainly from ABAP dictionary, and module pool, including the validation of the fields. Please don’t exclude other contents as I don’t mean that he/she will totally exclude questions from other topics.
If it’s a support project the focus will be on reports, scripts, smart forms and enhancements.
if it’s a rollout project the questions will dance around Bapi, Rfc, badi, SPDD, SPAU, DBA cockpit, UC check etc.
ALE/Idocs is a topic on which you may face exclusive interviews as most companies require ALE/Idocs experts for their projects.
Please take the above information as a guideline and not as a rule. The pattern of the interview varies a lot on the interviewer. 
Keep all these tips in mind and face the interview perfectly. If you still have doubts feel free to comment or reach me.

My Experience with SAP ABAP Interview


For candidates who are eager to work in the SAPdomain, after getting trained in the appropriate module the next thing that haunts them is how to face the interview! I am writing this article specific to SAP ABAP interview. My first ABAP interview lasted just for 15 minutes. Why? I was not aware of some questions and so, the interviewer finished it soon.

Through my experience of facing the interviews, I can divide the interview in two types. These two types depend on the size of the company. My experience tells me that BIG MNC giants like Wipro, Infosys, TCS, IBM, Accenture and similar companies have a very simple interview process. Let me be more specific, I mean the technical round. The questions asked by these big MNCs are simple and I am sure if you have covered your ABAP course content wisely you will be able to answer almost all the questions.
The other interview is which, held by comparatively smaller companies. Now, the technical round with these companies is very tricky. The reason being these companies don’t want to recruit anyone. They just want to recruit person whom they can directly deploy in the project that they have. So, they will ask very specific questions which, will be related to the project that they have and so succeeding in these interviews may be slightly difficult.
Hope this information is useful and so you can now prepare yourself accordingly.
