OSS Notes are SAP's way of supporting its software. These are problems that have been discovered and/or reported. Usually then provide some work around or fix for the problem including source code corrections. If the note does include source corrections you can download and apply it using the SNOTE transaction code. To search thru SAP notes, go to service.sap.com

hi Swathi,
1. OSS Notes
All customers who have implemented SAP
must be facing some or the other problem.
To remedy such problems,
SAP comes out with some mini - mini
solutions from time to time.
Such solutions, require some modifications
in the SAP source code.
The corrections can be done manually / automatically
at the users end.
Such notes contain step-by-step instructions
on what to do, how to do etc.
There are SEVERAL such NOTES
(Correction Instructions/Patch)
They are called OSS NOTES.
*----
1. The Tcode is OSS1.
2. But,
U will have to contact ur basis team
bcos
they will open the internet gateway
for oss1.
3. Moreover,
oss1 will login to SAP server
in Bangalore (if u are in india)
4. There also a login screen will be there.
There u need a user id and a password.
(It might be some common userid and pasword
which ur basis team might be able to provide)
if u find it useful mark some points

SAP notes are of two type :
1. Corrections for a Bug, created by developers.
2. Informational notes, created by primary support.
When new Support Pack is released, all the correctional notes created after last Support Pack are included in next SP.

HI
GOOD
GO THROUGH THIS LINK
http://www.sappoint.com/oss/osssystem.html
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".
Examples of CAR command :-
1) UNIX only:
Log on as user <sapsid>adm.
cd /usr/sap/trans
CAR -xvf tmp/<ARCHIVE_NAME>.CAR -V
2) Windows NT only:
Log on as user <SAPSID>ADM.
cd \USR\SAP\TRANS
CAR -xvf TMP\<ARCHIVE_NAME>.CAR
This Will create two(2) FILES
After you run SPAM you MUST run STMS and check the transport queues
As per 315963 note you can direct made the changes in the program or you can apply the support pack.
a) If you want to apply correction then first you need to register the object in SAP, so that you will get the Access key and then you can make the changes.
b) If you want to import the support pack then you need to down load from SAP market-place. and this is in CAR file. and then you need extract the same using CAR utility.
ex: CAR -xvf abc.car
or
you can directly apply the patch from SAPGUI, login to 000 client and then you can load the patch from Presentation server.
Also check what is your current basis patch level?
For example if you want to apply patch 07 and you are having 05 then you need to apply 06 and then apply 07.
