OSS Note Seach - Techniques

[Former Member]

Hi,

Could see, every time we search on a topics, with different search key words, we get, different results. I fear, if we miss anything due to appropriate key words are not used.

Would appreciate, if any such note search tips are shared.

I have found that SAP is to a large extent modularized, so if you have found the root cause of a problem you will often also have found about half of the answer to several other potential problems.

Entering the name of the function module (and possibly also the name of the parameter / opcode / okcode your specific application is calling it with) which is causing the problem as the search term is a good place to start.

Also keep an eye on the related notes of the search results and the coding corrections (if available), which can be very usefull for understanding the design of the solution and the "switches" needed to activate them.

Hi Raj,

SAP note 192194 is also usefull, but rather difficult to find using it's own advise (no transaction, no program, no message number, no alternate terms, no release dependency,... etc).

Cheers,
