What is the basic requirement to learn EP(Development)? Please advise

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

This is my serious concern.

I am an ABAPer with 4+ years of experience.

I am from IT background also. I would like to know what is the basic requirement to learn EP (Development)?

Is Java required? If so, is it J2EE and which version of it?

Also what else, apart from this I should know to become a successful consultant in EP (seen enough of ABAP).

Please advise.

I am posting this as, I have lots of confusion in moving to EP.

You should aware of ERP and business processes to start learning EP.

Is Java required? If so, is it J2EE and which version of it?

Java knowledge like jsps,corejava...it will be good..If you know well,you can play with webdynpro java.

Also what else, apart from this I should know to become a successful consultant in EP (seen enough of ABAP

).

Webdynpro ABAP suits for you exactly for developing portal applications.

Hi,

I would recommend you to learn EP through ABAP. For that you must be familiar with ABAP objects.

If you are familiar with core java, you can even start in java development but at first if you can concentrate on ABAP side, it will go really great with your skillset.

A lot of study material is available online. It starts with the netweaver architecture and then goes detail into portals.

The concept of portals is based on the MVC architecture.

Browse for online documentation and you should be able to start in that if you have any system available with you.
