SAP User ID for Certification

Hi all,

I am trying to register for WEBI XI 3.0 exam, but its asking me for SAP user ID.

In the past, I have given level 1 exam, without any problem. I checked SAP portal for the same, but it didn't help much.

Any Idea...

Hi

Are you trying to schedule the exam or getting training materials from SAP..?

Hi
I think it might be Crystal Id, which is getting generated when you are giving exams. As you have given one level, for next you have to register under your same Id so then after competing all exams they have proof that same person has given all exams under one Crystal Id for certification

hello,

Just like Data_Guy, I wanted to take a BOCP-CR certification; however, when I created a web account at www.vue.com so that I can schedule a test, it was asking for a SAP User ID. Does this mean that we need to be SAP customers or partners before we can take any BOCP certification exams ?

Hi Mobious
For certification its not required to be partner or customer. If possible talk to VUE helpline and they might help you for same. Or you can directly talkt o your exam center where you are planning to give exam and ask them what to carry when you come for certification exam It might give you clear idea for same

Just Got reply from SAP:

==============================================
If you have not already done so, you can contact our Central Registration group at 1-888-777-1727 and select option 1 twice. They will be able to create a profile for you.

They will need your name as you wish it to appear in your profile and on your certification, your email, your phone # office/home and mobile and your mailing address.

If you reach a voicemail when you attempt to call them, you can respond to this email and we will create the profile for you if you provide the aforementioned information.

Regards,

SAP Education

=========================================

I did mine, will take few days for the same.

Thanks

hello Nirav,

Thanks for the advice; I did ask Pearson Vue about this, and they referred me to SAP Education because according to them, they cannot override this policy, which makes sense.

hey Data_Guy,

I followed Vue's referral and contacted SAP Education about this via their website. I am still waiting for their response, though. I'll keep you guys updated on this.

Thanks much.

Hello Duncan,

Same here. I have contacted SAP Education from their website and i haven't gotten any response yet. Its been just about 2 business days now.

hi manav,

It's been about 4 business days since I last contacted SAP Education concerning the SAP User ID necessary for obtaining access to BOCP certification tests. No response yet. Some of us are independent consultants, so we may not have any access to any SAP system, but we have access to the Crystal Reports Developer application. Let's just try to wait a couple more days.

hello Data_Guy,
Is there any location in SAP website where we can send a request for a special user profile for us to be able to avail of the opportunity to take BOCP certification tests ? Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks much !

Guys,
Have you tried to contact Exam center directly and ask them is there any such requirement. I had given exams in June 07, before SAP changed whole processes. So not sure what's been changed and how?

If you are customer of SAP , you might have Account Manager who is handling your company's accoutn and you can directly get in touch with them, they might give you more information in right direction...If someone is in touch with SAP BO Account Manager ,need a favor to these guys and post the updates (unfortunately i dont have account manager info as i work as consultant)

Regards
Nirav

hello gents,

Yes, we did try to contact the exam center concerned directly, Pearson Vue, and we were directed to SAP Customer Service. Going through their FAQs ( of SAP Customer Service ), it was stated that " one does not have to be a SAP partner or customer in order to avail of the certification process, but one does need to get an S-User ID. "

What SAP wasn't clear about was HOW to apply for an S-User Id. It can never be found in any of their other FAQs, however, if a question is raised to them via their Contact form, they will reply. Please just provide a valid contact information.

I recently got a response from them, and it is the same as what Data_Guy has posted; one has to call 1-888-777-1727 and select option 1 twice. This is the first step an aspiring applicant for BOCP can take in order to be able to get yourself a profile, and eventually, your own S-User Id.

I think they are doing this as part of their quality control mechanism; taking a BOCP certification is a privilege. Guess we all must prove that in all honesty, we all have a good experience in using Business Objects Crystal Reports somehow, and that we all have access to an Official installation of Business Objects Crystal Reports.

Hello everybody

I am trying to register for crystal reports XI certification at pearson vue. I am asked for sap ID. However during S-User Id registration, I am asked for installation number or customer number.
I have worked on crystal reports version 8.5 thru XI in last 4 years. I lost my job 2 months back and currently I am not working. How am I supposed to register for certification exam?

Hi All,

By looking all the post above, i presume that the SAP has changed the process. In last year, you just need to show your identification proof in the authorised prometric centre to take the exams.

Hi Shiva, The link above is for creating user's profile by providing an email ID. It does not generate S-user ID. If it does then please let me know. Thanks.

Data_Guy, please let me know if you had to provide installation number for S-user ID.
