My background before getting into XI was I did one year Basis and did the XI Installations for my previous employer, then did two years XI Development with them. I don't have a programming background but am keen to learn.

I have been working as a dedicated XI Consultant for three months now.

Hi,

whether we have to acquire knowlege to explore BASIS for XI

As mentioned by Michal, to some extent it is required and if you can put your efforts to focus more then you can choose the option of XI-Technology Consultant.

Hi;

It is always good for a XI developer to have some knowledge of BASIS ,as it helps to have a better clearity on problem faced .

BASIS is basically the server installation and maintainence part.

Hi,

>>>whether we have to acquire knowlege to explore BASIS for XI

if we want to be good XI developers than we need some BASIS knowledge

(to be able to trace and corrcect errors which in most cases '

are due to BASIS config - timeouts, sxmb_adm, SLD, Visual Admin, etc.)
