The Note Display shows the entire contents of an SAP Note. From within the Note Display, you can start the Note implementation or Note removal, set the processor and processing status, check the implementation status and download the most up-to-date version of the Note from the SAP Service Marketplace.

Prerequisites

You have already downloaded the Note to be displayed from the SAP Service Marketplace. See also Loading an SAP Note.

Features

The Note Display consists of three subareas:

  • Navigation area (left)

  • Key attributes (upper right)

    Note Note

    Note that the key attributes area might be completely masked by the detail display, depending on the size of your SAP window. You can make the key attributes visible by moving the upper edge of the detail display with your mouse.

  • Detailed display (bottom right)

In the navigation area, all the parts of an SAP Note are arranged in a tree structure. Double-clicking a node displays the key attributes of the selected part, as well as its details in the right-hand section of the screen. The following parts can be displayed for an SAP Note:

  • By double-clicking on the Note number in the highest node of the navigation area, you can display the Note text in PDF format.

  • Note Log: Double-clicking the Note Log node displays all the log messages that exist for the Note in question.

  • Correction instructions for the Note. A Note may contain one or more correction instructions. You can view these by expanding the Corrections node. Double-clicking on the number of a correction instruction displays information about its validity, as well as prerequisite correction instructions, in the detailed display.

  • If you expand the node for a correction instruction, you are shown a list of the repository objects that are corrected by this correction instruction.

  • If you expand the node of a repository object, the system displays a number of subobjects. Subobjects of a repository object can be either source code parts or table contents that describe the object. If you double-click on one of the subobjects, the system displays the changes made by the correction instruction in the source code and in the associated table contents.

    The display showing changes to table contents is primarily aimed at experts and very experienced users and is designed to help SAP Support when analyzing problems. When implementing a Note, you can usually ignore this display.
