Activating the Note Assistant

Use

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

Procedure

1. Create an RFC connection to SAPNet - R/3 Frontend, so that you can load SAP Notes.

a) To do this, call transaction OSS1. This creates a connection to client 000 of SAPNet – R/3 Frontend. This connection is currently called SAPOSS. You have to change the client to 001.

b) To do this, call transaction SM59.

c) Display the destination SAPOSS.

d) Change the logon data to client 001.

e) Save the destination.

For more information on RFC destinations, choose Help -> Application Help.

2. Directly before you use the Note Assistant for the first time, you have to specify the software components and their release data in the system.

To do this, you also require an RFC connection.

To specify the software components, choose Extras -> Get Release Data.

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

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