How to apply note without OSS connection ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Currently our SAP router is down and OSS RFC is not working. Due to this while downloading notes though SNOTE, it's giving REFUSED OSS CONNECTION error. Is it possible to implement notes directly ?

Go to service.sap.com and open the note there. You will see links for correction instructions. Open the one for your release, and you'll see the objects that need changing. For each object there will be one or more contexts - where the change(s) need(s) to be made - together with what must be deleted and what must be inserted.

You'll need object keys from SSCR, which is also part of service.sap.com.

You could try to download note from http://service.sap.com/notes on your own workstation or from another allowed to connect to SAP, option "Download Corrections" on each note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/nnnnnnn, download those to your workstation with Download Manager (Install from SAP Software Download Center or link from previous option) using your own S-id.

Then in SNOTE in the menu goto, Upload option, but you will have to manage the download/upload of every pre-requisite OSS notes.

Hi Nitu,

Yes it's possible. Please follow the below steps to upload note manually:-

1. Log into https://service.sap.com/notes with your S- ID.

2. Open the required note .

3. Click on DOWNLOAD CORRECTION button available in top left of the note. (Before that you can verify whether respective correction is applicable to your scenario or not by checking software component release )

4. Save the CORRECTION in your hard drive without changing it's extension.

5. Now log into ABAP or ABAP+JAVA server with suitable client (where it allows to make changes to namespaces/software components) and go to SNOTE.

6. Now click on UPLOAD NOTE under GO TO > UPLOAD SAP NOTE and locate the saved correction.

7. After successful upload of the note, you can implement it as usual.

Hope it would help you to implement without OSS RFC .

Hi ,

One more thing ....during uploading it may prompt you that RFC FAILURE for getting latest version of note. Just click on OK and proceed.
