HI,

In order to fix one of the problem in R/3 system, SAP will asked you to download an OSS notes which is a ".car" file.

To work with a CAR File do the following at OS Level:

Get into OS as <sapsid>adm

Copy the .CAR file to a Temporary Directory.

Uncompress the file with SAPCAR

Copy the the data file generated in the data transport directory

( ej: = /usr/Sap/trans/data).

Copy the the cofile file generated in the cofiles transport directory

( = ej: /usr/Sap/trans/cofiles).

Run transaction STMS

Upload the support package with SPAM transaction and the support package will show "New support packages".

Regards

Sudheer

An OSS note is used to 'fix' a known issue in SAP . This OSS note could be a program(s) change or config change. Transcation SNOTE can be used to implement and OSS note. However, this will only make the relevant code changes. Any config changes will need to be done manually.

well an OSS note is something like a patch which you should know from windows.

Even tho SAP has good programmers and good conceptionists, it still happens that they deliver software with bug´s or at least features that dont work like they are intended to.

A OSS note is normally a peice or more pieces of code which you either automatically or manuall implement to the wrong TA or FORM or whatever.

This peice of Code will correct the bug, and from then on SAP will work like it´s intended to.

But well if you have something, where you think the fault my be at SAP-side, just go to the SAP-marketplaces and browse the SAP OSS NOTES.

If you find a NOTE which will correct your problem, then add it, if you cant find anything relted to your problem the fault is probable on YOUR side then.
