Programatically search OSS notes database

Former Member — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:44:38 GMT

This is a long shot but does anyone know of a way to search for OSS notes programatically in ABAP? Is there any RFC or BAPI that could be used to connect to the OSS note database?

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at standard SAP program SCWN_ENTRY_TREE.

Thanks Rob, will do.

I've also found function module:

CLM_LIST_OBJECT_IN_NOTES which looks good. It allows me to search for OSS notes relating to specific ABAP objects (programs, tables etc).

Darn it! Turns out CLM_LIST_OBJECT_IN_NOTES only looks in OSS notes that have been downloaded. I wanted something that could search ALL OSS notes regardless.

Hi Chris,

I don't think there is any such FM which will be querying to SAP online DB (OSS DB) to get the results back.

I think you're probably right. It was just an idea I had but never mind.

Thanks anyway.
