Dear dhiraj_kumar :

R.N. White rightly pointed out recently that SAP PS is one of the most heavy-weights in SAP; "Reetesh Tiwary" affirms today, Monday, June 27, 2011.

The following is another two points for you to consider:

Point Number One:
Let me start firstly with the positive one before the (much) less positive will follows.
The decision of your employer to offer you a chance to take the first breath in the real and touchable environment of PS delivers you an opportunity of your life time! Such opportunity normally, in the real world, is out of reach of the majority SAPers and Non-SAPers (not even in the sweetest day-dream of SAPers and Non-SAPers alike). Certainly on this side of the opportunity, you must take it and run.

Point Number Two:
Luck, most people agree, is the result of: when preparation a prior meets opportunity! Luck sometimes is attributed to something that we cannot logically describe or explain. If we agree with the first result that luck is when preparation meets opportunity, you see clearly that your personal circumstance is based only on one part of the equation: opportunity. The crucial balance cannot be created in no circumstance because the other equally important part is completely missing: Your preparation.
What is then the consequence?
You will fail because you do not have any adequate knowledge or skill needed to fulfill the simplest requests of SAP PS. And you do not have the time needed for you to adapt the missing ingredients, assuming that you can bridge the gap and jump over your own shadow.
(One of the reasons that your company offers to you and/or pushes you to accept to get into SAP PS is because your employer is at a low level of understanding of what SAP PS is. If this is the case, you are in a good position because the gap between your knowledge and your employer's is not too great that you cannot bridge and continue. At the same time, this fact mirrors evidently that your employer is not the company that you should work for a very long time.)

Conclusion:
The glass is still half full or already empty to half. Your strategy should be: Know yourself and Know Your Enemy (your situation) and you will not be perished (you will be successful) in one hundred battles (SAP PS). This is the wisdom that is known since thousands of years. Understand its essence and apply to you!

Should you be in needs of support and/or constructive suggestion, please come back regularly but not too late to this forum, at least on my behalf.
