Goto

service.sap.com

You will see SAP Support portal, under which there is "SAP Notes search" link. Click on the same.

It will ask for user id and password, enter the same. You will be on Find OSS screen. Now enter your selection criteria and start searching for OSS Note.

Check this for more details.

If you know the note you want to implement, use transaction SNOTE to do that.

hi

good

Applying OSS note is a critical activity in the system. Usually this task is carried out by the basis, as they maintain the system and the notes, support packs, etc.

A OSS note has potential to impact the system in several ways. So it is better to work with the basis if you need to apply a OSS note to be applied.

Transaction code is Snotes. But pl dont attempt to apply by yourself.

Reg your other question as how to use the OSS note, there is nothing like using aOSS note. Just apply and depending on what the notes do, it may change the config, or download a program or something.

reward point if helpful.

thanks

If you want to implement note using TCODE then use SNOTES transaction...

in which SAP will download the note on the system along with the prerequisite notes...

then one by one implement these notes on the system...

If you waant to apply notes manually ...

then open the note from the internet....

check if all the prerequisite notes have been applied...

then complete the Prerequisites part mentioned in the note...

then select code extract for your SAP version.. and do the code changes

manually... (for this you will require Access Keys of respective Objects)

Hi,

SAP Notes

SAP Notes give you instructions on how to remove known errors from SAP Systems. They include a description of the symptoms, the cause of the error, and the SAP Release and Support Package level in which the error occurs.

Depending on the type of error, an SAP Note may also include:

Workarounds

Descriptions of how to correct the source code (called correction instructions)

Links to Support Packages that solve the problem

You can access SAP Notes both from the SAP Service Marketplace and SAPNet - R/3 Frontend.

The Note Assistant can automatically implement only SAP Notes that have correction instructions.

Read the SAP Note carefully before you use the Note Assistant to implement it. The SAP Note can contain prerequisites, interactions, and references to postprocessing activities (making changes to a table, for example) that you must take into consideration when you implement it.

also follow the link given for more details

crazy user,

OSS notes have been renamed to SAP notes. It used to be the Online Service System, now this is integrated into the SAP service portal SERVICE.SAP.COM. Your Basis people can easily register your SAP system user for SAP SERVICE.SAP.COM access.

You will then get a special ID and initial password for that. This allows the search not only for SAP notes but also lots of documentation, downloads and so on.

Some basis people won't help you with the registering at SERVICE.SAP.COM. This is mainly to avois a decrease in personal importance

And, right, if you know a SAP note number you can download it using transaction SNOTE (No special registration needed). You can read and automatically implement the note using SNOTE. A transport request will be created and definitely the fucntion ahould be tested before transport.

Clemens

Hi Naresh,

this is a bit confusing.

Yes, you can go to service.sap.com/notes and look up this note by using your OSS id.

But ten you use transaction SNOTE to download and to apply the note in your development system. When applying the note, the system asks for a transport request which is created by the system. SNOTE will also tell you if the note downloaded does not fit the release/support package level of your system.

The transaction SNOTE is a great SAP tool to simplify the process of notes implementation. Just for reasons of upward compatibility it is still possible to do it the stone-age way including manually download, uncompressing and what else.

After SNOTE completion the rest is the standard transport procedure you always do.
