Anonymized User
I find this is very impressive module to learn and the trainer has walkthrough very well. As i have some good knowledge on BW . Nothing was new to me. but for a beginner it must be very learning experience
Rishav Garg
It was good exercise and course, however it would be awesome if the instructor update the course with the more real world scenarios like process chains scheduling from managed system ERP etc.
Vijay Hejmadi
In detail explanation about DTP
Shalabh Shrivastava
I think with some prior practical knowledge, I was able to grasp the concepts and what was going on but a side flowchart would add to the clarity and make it easier for a newcomer to connect the dots. All the Best and thanks for the wonderful course.
Pankaj Bhatt
The course did really well in explaining SAP BW screens and doing hands on exercises to make it better understandable for someone who has just started working in SAP BW.
My only suggestion would be to add hand- on exercise with ERP tables as source instead of both projects using just flat files as source.
Ramesh Nagadatta Palla
Very efficient teaching. Appreciate the effort put in to keep it simple and interesting at the same time. Very useful course for both freshers as well as experienced.
Pawel Grabiec
Great course, lots of practical knowledge!
Matthias Bertsch
The course offers a good overview over SAP BW and introduces you to the fundamentals. The final quiz is quite heavy with 45 questions, but not very difficult if you paid attention to the lessons.
Overall a recommendable course
Mahmoud Osman
Good hand-on exercise. Should have spent more time on the high level of BW and its components.
Syed Azaharuddin
Excellent Course. Delighted to subscribe to this course.
Guilibaldo Atkinson
Good course to help you decipher what you see in BW as well as providing instruction on how to create objects and navigate.
Nishant Khanolkar
From a course delivery point of view, the instructor and the course material was up to the mark. All the recordings were legible.
Thanks to Rob
Danny Michaels
Great for starting out in SAP BW.
Srinivas
Hi Rob,
Thank you very much for easily understandable training.
This was covered with all basics of BW which will be helpful for all of us and if possible please explain all the options available in cubes and info objects so we will be aware of usage of those also.
I hope if you can add some performance tuning activities.It will be very helpful .
Regards
Srinivas
Werner Wessels
Very well explained. Looking forward to more projects.
Hamza Abdullah
it is good in general, but some videos too long ,if it is 5 minutes or less will be good for the students and more comfortable.
Kokila varun kumar
I have taken many training, this one of the best. Trainer makes us to understand every step with explanation.
Mohamed Isse
The instructions were very clear and the instructor gave step by step walk-through of the necessary steps to setup the system.
K Gulshan Tejaswi
The way of teaching is very Good. All the chapters are covering different topics and they are told practically instead of some narration from a slide show. Really if somebody wants to learn BW all they need is one BW environment and this course.
Atif Ghaffar
Hi
Everything is amazing for the beginners, If you can include the following tips will be ideal for person like me.
What SAP Certification Exam to Go for after completion this course
Exam Name with Helping Material (Book Names)
Just a little bit more explanation about the job how and who interact with SAP BW person for any task.
Which tables to extracts for what kind of reporting (Which Fields), Any best practices to or helping material to recognize these tables in real time. Related Sales, MM, etc etc
If some explanation of full environment of SAP BW JOB can be explained, How to start the task and after finishing the Task like Info provider what you do who takes over the control of that finished task
Sorry if i am asking a lot but you have done a pretty amazing job!
Kind Regards
Atif
