Manual upload implement note - aidamate13/AMS-Knowledge-Base GitHub Wiki

Intro

When it’s not possible to download the notes from the t-code SNOTE we can implement them manually.

Example of problem on download:

We check if the note already exist in the system by using t-code SNOTE and then select Note Browser:

We insert the note number and press execute.

We login on Sap Support Portal (SAP support) with an account that has a password changed in the last 6 months in order to be able to download files.

After login, we search for the note (in our case is the 2911869) and we found on the header the download option:

The download file is the following:

This file needs to be unzipped by a program that is provided by SAP. (sapcar.exe can be download from the software center of SAP suspport) We can create a temp fold in Desktop and add both files inside:

Now, in order to run the program, we must use CMD or Windows PowerShell.

For the PowerShell and CMD execution:

Hold shift on keyboard and right click on the empty space of the folder. It shows the following option and we click on it:

And then the PowerShell its open with the full path of your folder.

In PowerShell need to write:

.\sapcar.exe -xvf .\XXXXX_the_downloaded_note_file.SAR

In the CMD version you have to go to the path that is the program and also the .exe and SAR no needs to contain the “.\”

And the result needs to be for both cases:

The program returns a new file that is .zip and need to be unzipped by a common program (WinZip). Contains a .txt file that will be used into the sap.

Note Implementation

Now we have to go to SE38 and execute the report: SCWN_REGISTER_NOTES

At the selection screen insert the note number and execute:

Here we have 2 options, download and upload manually. We select the upload.

And then we select the .txt that was unzipped previously.

Now the note is uploaded but not yet implemented.

If the note doesn’t contain any pre-implementation or prerequisites, we can press the execute button.

Else we can go to the t-code SNOTE and implement the note as usual.
