Loading an SAP Note

Use
You can load SAP Notes into your system. You can do this using an RFCconnection (SAP Note download) or with the file transfer method (SAPNote upload)
The SAP Note download has the following advantages:

• You can use the Note Assistant to load SAP Notes directly into your
system using an RFC connection.

• If other SAP Notes are entered as prerequisites in an SAP Note, the Note
Assistant automatically downloads the prerequisite SAP Notes during theimplementation (SAP Note Queue).

• You can download updated versions of SAP Notes at the press of a button
(Download current version of SAP Note
).
Note: To download an SAP Note, you must create an RFC connectionto SAP.
Uploading an SAP Note does not require a permanent RFC connection toSAP. For this, you first download the required SAP Note from the SAPService Marketplace and save it locally on your front-end PC. You thenuse the Note Assistant to upload the SAP Note.
