Hi All,

I'm a newbee in SAP. Got trained in SAP-ABAP and then afterwards in SAP-Security. I'm currently handling a project in SAP Security. I want to know what is the current scope of SAP-Security and is it beneficial to shift from Security to SAP-ABAP as I'm getting a chance to do so. Please give your comments keeping in mind the scope of both the areas in the long run.

Hi Samantha, I am currently an SAP Security Administrator, and work very closely with our BASIS Admin. I don't get too involved with ABAP beyond working with our developers on resolving issues with custom programs. I think what you need to figure out is which area you enjoy, and make a decision based upon that. I have found that my interest is more in the BASIS side of things, as security is last on anyone's list of importance (especially working in a company that does not need to be compliant). I find myself bored most of the time, and look for things to tweak until a juicy problem comes along. So depending upon your environment, security can be rewarding, and it does take a lot of work to do it correctly. I think the money may be in the programming and BASIS areas of SAP though. Do what motivates you.
