Procedure documentationActivating Note Assistant Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Before you can start using Note Assistant, you need to make a number of 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. For the software components in which you want to implement the SAP Notes, set the status to Restricted modifiability or Modifiable.

    2. 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.

    Proceed as follows:

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

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

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

    4. 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.

    5. Choose   Connection   Copy   and enter SAPSNOTE as the name of the new destination.

    6. Change the following parameters in the new RFC connection:

      • Tab page: Technical Settings

        • Load Balancing: Choose the option Yes.

        • Target System ID: Enter OSS.

        • Group: Enter 1_PUBLIC.

      • Tab page: Logon & Security

        • Client: Enter 001.

        • User: Enter OSS_SNOTE.

        • Password: Enter CPIC.

    Note Note

    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.

    End of the note.

  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). For more information, refer also to: 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.
