Here are details about SNOTE -

Use

Note Assistant (transaction SNOTE) helps you when working with SAP Notes.

After you have loaded the SAP Notes you need into your system, you can automatically implement the corrections (correction instructions) contained in them.

Features

Note Assistant has the following functions:

Reporting

You can display an overview of all existing SAP Notes and their processing status, as well as all implemented corrections.

Project Administration

You can assign SAP Notes to users, who then specify them a processing status. The system informs you if an SAP Note has an inconsistent status.

Logging

The system logs all processing steps.

Correcting Errors

You can automatically implement the corrections (correction instructions) contained in SAP Notes into your system.

Integration

When you import a Support Package or perform out an upgrade, the system automatically recognizes which Notes have been implemented by an imported Support Package or upgrade, and which correction instructions still need to be implemented.

Activities

Your worklist contains SAP Notes in the following categories:

1. SAP Notes that are assigned to you as a user.

2. All SAP Notes that are inconsistent, even if they are assigned to another user.

3. New SAP Notes that are not yet being processed.

Choose Download SAP Note to download Notes using an RFC connection. You can also load SAP Notes from the SAP Service Marketplace and then perform an Upload.

You can use the Note Browser to find any SAP Note in the system.

The note display enables you to read the Note carefully and view changes made to the source code in ABAP programs and other repository objects.

By choosing Check Note, you can check the implementation status.

You can classify the SAP Note and specify the processing status.

You can implement the correction instructions that are contained in the Note and then remove them if necessary.

In the Log, you can display the processing steps and add your own comments.

By choosing Corrected Objects, you can switch to the modification browser, where you can see all the objects that have been corrected by an SAP Note.

After importing a Support Package, you can use Modification Assistant to perform follow-up activities.

To ensure that the SAP Notes in your system are the latest available in the SAP system, choose Download Current Version of SAP Notes. If a newer version of a Note is available, the system downloads it for you.

Loading an SAP Note

Use

You can load SAP Notes in your system. You can do this directly using an RFC connection (SAP Note download) or with the file transfer method (SAP Note upload).

The download method has the following advantages:

&#9679; When you download an SAP Note, you can use Note Assistant to load it directly into your system by establishing an RFC connection to SAP.

&#9679; If other SAP Notes are entered as prerequisites in an SAP Note, Note Assistant automatically downloads the prerequisite SAP Notes during implementation (Implementing Correction Instructions).

&#9679; You can download updated versions of SAP Notes at the press of a button (Updating an SAP Note).

To download an SAP Note, you need to establish an RFC connection to SAP.

You do not require a permanent RFC connection to SAP in order to upload an SAP Note. To upload the note, you first download the required SAP Note from the SAP Service Marketplace and save it locally on your PC. You then upload it using Note Assistant.

Prerequisites

&#9679; Note download: You have established an RFC connection. (See Activating Note Assistant)

&#9679; Note upload: You have installed the SAP Download Manager, which enables you to load SAP Notes from the SAP Service Marketplace. You can find the SAP Download Manager in SAP Service Marketplace, under service.sap.com/download-basket ® Get Download Manager.

Procedure

SAP Note Download

...

1. In Note Assistant, choose SAP Note Download.

2. Specify the numbers of the SAP Notes that you want to download.

Use the selection function to load one SAP Note or a list of SAP Notes.

3. Confirm your selection.

The system loads the SAP Notes to your database via the RFC connection.

SAP Note Upload

...

1. Select the correct SAP Note in the SAP Service Marketplace under service.sap.com/notes.

2. Choose Download.

The SAP Note is added to your download basket. You can repeat this action for as many SAP Notes as you require.

3. To save the SAP Notes locally on your PC, start the SAP Download Manager. Choose Download.

The SAP Notes are loaded as files into the directory you have specified.

4. Use the upload function in Note Assistant (Goto ® Upload SAP Note) to load the SAP Note files into your system.

Result

After you have successfully downloaded or uploaded an SAP Note that did not previously exist in your system, the processing status of this SAP Note in the SAP Note overview is set as new.

Activating Note Assistant

Use

Before you can start using Note Assistant, you need to make some settings in your system.

There are different ways in which you can load SAP Notes into your system. You can download SAP Notes directly using an RFC connection to SAP, or you can use Note Assistant to upload SAP Notes that you have already loaded from SAP Service Marketplace. For information regarding the pros and cons of these different procedures, see Loading an SAP Note.

If you want to download an SAP Note with RFC, you first need to activate an RFC connection.

Procedure

...

1. Define the system change option (transaction SE03). Set the following:

1. a. For the software components in which you want to implement the SAP Notes, set the status to Restricted modifiability or Modifiable.

2. b. For the general SAP namespace, set the status to Modifiable.

2. If you want to download SAP Notes using an RFC connection, create the RFC connection SAPSNOTE. To do this, first create the RFC connection SAPOSS and then create the RFC connection SAPSNOTE from this.

Procedure:

3. a. Call transaction OSS1. In the standard system, this creates connection SAPOSS.

4. b. Call the configuration screen for RFC connections (transaction SM59).

5. c. Expand the ABAP Connections node and select the connection SAPOSS by double clicking it.

6. d. On the Technical Settings tab page, change the client to OO1. Now select the Logon & Security tab page and enter CPIC as the password for connection SAPOSS. Save your data.

7. e. Choose Connection ® Copy and enter SAPSNOTE as the name of the new destination.

8. f. Change the following parameters in the new RFC connection:

Tab page: Technical Settings

• &#9632; Load Distribution: Choose Yes.

• &#9632; Target System ID: Enter OSS.

• &#9632; Group: Enter 1_PUBLIC.

Tab page: Logon & Security

• &#9632; Client: Enter 001.

• &#9632; User: Enter OSS_SNOTE.

• &#9632; Password: Enter CPIC.

If you want to load SAP Notes from SAP Service Marketplace and then upload them into your system by note upload, then you do not need an RFC connection.

3. If you have already implemented SAP Notes in your system but you did not use Note Assistant, you have to inform the system of the SAP Notes that you implemented manually.

To do this, execute the SCWN_REGISTER_NOTES program with the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38). (See Registering Manually Implemented SAP Notes)

4. To view the note text correctly in Note Assistant, install Adobe Reader Version 7.0.1 or higher on your computer.

Hope this helps.
