Hi Sandeep,

As you are from ABAP background, you are better to learn XI/PI(Exchange Infrastructure),

BI(Business Intelligence) and MDM(Master Data Management) in netweaver platform.

-> MDM itself does not require ABAP coding,but ABAP api or JAVA api is required to integrate

the MDM to the web.

-> XI/PI requires ABAP programming in mapping but it's not mandatory.Actually mapping in XI

can be done in so many ways.

1) Message Mapping

2) XSLT Mapping

3) ABAP Mapping

4) JAVA Mapping. so you can choose any mapping depend on your skill.

-> I don't know much about BI .But i know that it is used for reporting the data(Analysis

purpose), Recently i came to know that it requires ABAP coding but i am not sure about

that.

-> You can also go for Webdynpro-ABAP in netweaver platform.It requries Object Oriented

ABAP.

Please reward points, if you found useful.

Thanks,

Narendra.

Hi Sandeep,

As you are ABAPer my suggestion for you is to go for webdynppro ABAP which is the best UI technology for developing webapplications in the ABAP environment.It becomes easy for you to work and also it is gaining popularity in the present SAP market for the UI design with its extensible features.

Reward points if useful

thanks and Regards,
