Yes, it is possible to switch from SAP BW to ABAP and then to Native HANA without formal training classes, but it requires structured self-learning, hands-on practice, and real-world project exposure. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieving this transition:

1. Transition from SAP BW to SAP ABAP

SAP BW (Business Warehouse) involves data modeling, ETL, and reporting, whereas SAP ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is the coding backbone of SAP.

Steps:

  1. Learn Basic ABAP Concepts Start with ABAP syntax, data types, loops, and control structures. Understand modularization (subroutines, function modules, methods). Explore internal tables, work areas, and Open SQL.
  2. Practice ABAP on BW Objects Write custom extractors in ABAP for BW. Modify BW transformations using ABAP routines. Understand BAdIs and User Exits in BW.
  3. Work on Real-time ABAP Developments Implement ABAP enhancements for BW queries. Debug ABAP code in BW process chains. Understand performance tuning in ABAP.

Resources:

  • SAP Help Portal: SAP ABAP Documentation
  • Books: "ABAP Programming for SAP BW"

2. Transition from ABAP to SAP HANA (ABAP on HANA & Native HANA)

SAP HANA is an in-memory database, which requires knowledge of SQLScript, CDS Views, AMDPs, and Native HANA modeling.

Steps:

  1. . Understand SAP HANA Architecture Learn column store vs. row store. Understand calculation engines and query optimization.
  2. . Master ABAP on HANA Concepts Learn Core Data Services (CDS) and ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP). Optimize SQL queries with HANA-specific techniques. Migrate existing ABAP reports to HANA-optimized code.
  3. . Get Hands-on with Native HANA Development Learn HANA SQLScript (Procedures, Functions). Work with Calculation Views for modeling. Implement XS Advanced (XSA) or CAP (Cloud Application Programming).
  4. . Work on Real-world Projects Convert ABAP reports to HANA-native applications. Optimize SAP BW data extractions with HANA
