Procedure for Implementing the Bootstrap SAP Note

1. Download the Bootstrap TCI:

a) Search and open the relevant bootstrap SAP Note xxxxxxx from SAP One Support
Launchpad. For more information on relevant bootstrap SAP Notes, refer to the above
table.

b) Choose Correction Instructions and select SAP_BASIS Software Component.

c) On the Correction Instruction view, select the relevant software component version (on
the left side) and choose Download (on the right side). Save the SAR file into your
directory.

d) Log on into client 000 of the ABAP system you want to install the TCI.

e) Upload the bootstrap TCI SAP Note to the system: Call transaction SPAM, then choose
Support Package > Load Packages > From Front End and navigate to the directory, into
which you downloaded the SAR file (for example, K70003CPSAPBASIS.SAR).

2. Define queue:
a) In transaction SPAM, display the new support packages.

b) From the OCS Package Directory: New Packages view, select the respective bootstrap
TCI SAP Note.

c) To define the TCI queue, click the Calculate Queue button.

Note: If you receive the following message "Not allowed Support Package is already
applied," the import of TCI is not required as the required changes are already available
in the system.

d) Import the TCI queue: Click the Import queue button to import the TCI queue.
 e) Confirming the queue: Once the queue is imported, you are prompted with the next
action - to go to the SAP Note Assistant (transaction SNOTE) and download (Even if the
Note is available download it again) and implement the bootstrap note; that the status
of the SAP Note is completely implemented. Doing this will automatically confirm the
SPAM queue.

Note: If your system is not connected to the Online Service System (OSS) confirming the queue
is not possible. In this case, you first download the SAP Note from the SAP Support Portal and
upload SAP Note xxxxxxx (for example, SAP Note 2446868 for 700 release) using the Note
Assistant tool and then confirm the queue.

3. Verify the SAP Note Status: Verify if the status of the SAP Note xxxxxxx (for example, SAP Note
2446868 for 700 release) is set to Completely Implemented.

Procedure for implementing an SAP Note containing TCI

1. Download the SAP Note (which is also a TCI note).

2. Download the TCI package:

a) Search and open the relevant SAP Note xxxxxxx in SAP ONE Support Launchpad

b) Choose Correction Instructions and select the relevant software component.

c) On the Correction Instruction view, select the relevant software component version (on
the left side) and choose Download (on the right side). Save the SAR file into your
system.

d) Log on into client 000 of the ABAP system you want to install the TCI.
 e) Upload the TCI SAR file in the Note Assistant, Choose Goto > Upload TCI

Note: Alternatively, you can upload the TCI SAR archive (for example,
K700005CPSAPBASIS.SAR) through Support Package Manager or SAINT from front end
to your development system (SPAM must be called in client 000). To do so, call
transaction SPAM or SAINT in client 000 and choose Support Package > Load Packages >
From Front End in transaction SPAM or Installation Package > Load Package > From
Front End in transaction SAINT.

If Upload TCI is not available, then execute Report RSLANG20(Refer to SAP Notes 110910
and 48624). After this step, launch SNOTE and choose Goto > Upload TCI

3. Implement the SAP Note xxxxxxx as any other SAP Note in Note Assistant.
