Hi,

When you click download, the actual note gets downloaded with corrections. Then you will have to implement it.

Thanlks..

Hi

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:
● 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.
● 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).
● 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
● Note download: You have established an RFC connection. (See Activating Note Assistant)
● 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
• ■ Load Distribution: Choose Yes.
• ■ Target System ID: Enter OSS.
• ■ Group: Enter 1_PUBLIC.
Tab page: Logon & Security
• ■ Client: Enter 001.
• ■ User: Enter OSS_SNOTE.
• ■ 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.

Check transaction SM59 for RFC destination SAPOSS. You basis team should have set this up to include an OSS logon Id. As you're being prompted for a password it suggests this isn't complete.

Hi

OSS note provided by SAP for standard program issues. Based on problem which is facing sap will provide OSS note number. After getting the OSS note number follow the below procedure.

Implementation of OSS Note procedure

Go to development system, then enter t_code(snote) then Goto option (Menu bar),then select sap note down load option then type the sap note and then execute.

after that goto (menu bar) select note browse and type the sap note then select execute button and double click on the line then check implementation status whether sap note is implemented or not.

if implemented,come back snote home page, expand in process then select your sap note and then execute.

it will show one screen for confirmation of sap note select 'yes' button then click on continue icon after that it will ask cts for your sapnote then click on continue again click on continue icon.

Hello!

Thank you very much for your response.

I have set password of SAPOSS's user OCC_RFC to "CPIC". Now the SAP Notes can be downloaded.

The next problem I have, the corrections are shown in Tcode SNOTE, but If I push Impelemenation status I get "the note cannot be implemented"

and the corrections are in Status "can not be implemented".

<b>

What is the reason for this?</b>

Thank you!

[Former Member]

Not every note can be applied using SNOTE, some can only be applied manually, some only partially.

Which note are you trying to apply? Or is this status returned for every note?

Regards,

Nick

Hi

The Note cannot be implemented since no valid correction is available.

For each programming correction described in a Note, the validity details specify the release and Support Package levels on which this correction can be implemented. However, your system has a release and Support Package level for which no programming corrections described in the Note can be implemented.

This may be due to one of the following reasons:

1. The error described in the Note has already been corrected in your system, as you have already imported the Support Package containing the correction. You can identify if this is the case, if the Support Packages belonging to your release listed in the Note text under "Links to Support Packages" have already been imported.

2. The error occurs in your system but cannot be corrected for your Support Package level by Note correction. In this case, the validity intervals of the programming correction start at a Support Package level that is higher than that of your system.

3. The error is caused by a Support Package that has not yet been imported into your system. The validity interval of the programming correction starts with the Support Package that delivers the error and ends with the highest Support Package level on which the error still occurs.

Procedure

In the case of 1 or 3, the Note is not important for your system. Set the Note to processing status Not relevant .

For case 2, import the Support Package that corrects the error.

Regards

Ravish

Hi!

I try to apply the SAP Note 1041237.

Is there some difference to apply SAP Note via Tcode SNOTE or directly to execute SE38 and activate the appropriate program/class?

In second case I need a Developer key, in order to change clas/report.

Is these free of change to download from service.sap.com?

Thank you!

[Former Member]

Thom,

This note can be applied manually. Go to www.sevice.sap.com and follow the instructions on how to implement the note stated in the note. And it is free of charge, but you need to have an SAP ID and password. You can get it from your basis guys.

SNOTE can apply code changes automatically (and is way easier than typing the changes manually), but some things like the text symbols in this note (1041237) need to be done manually.

You may need a developer key to do this, available from service.sap.com, or find someone who already has a key and ask them to apply the changes.

Looking at the note, there should be elements of it that could be applied by SNOTE, it may be worth checking this not is not contained in an existing patch on your soution manager system.

Regards,

Nick
