OSS notes and service packs

Hi,
Can anyone elaborate me the difference between OSS1 transaction and SNOTE transaction in relation with application of OSS notes ?
Also, what is the difference between SAP service pack and OSS notes ?
Are SAP service pack similar to windows service packs ?
Whose job is it to apply OSS notes and service packs ?
Regards,
Tushar.

A service pack is generally a collection of the (release dependent) OSS notes that have been created since the last pack.
If you have done custom development on an SAP object, that development will likely be lost if an OSS note modifies it. You will have an opportunity to review the changes using transaction SPAM when service packs are applied.

Cannot download iTunes to PC with Windows XP and service pack 3. When I hit "download" it goes straight to the thank you screen but does not download anything!

I can't answer that. I'm just a user. Apple makes it decisions and does not share that with anyone here as you well know. Apple has also stopped supporting syncing contacts and calendar with the latest version of OS X, Mavericks. Users have to use iCloud. Many are not happy about that. Let Apple know how you feel here: www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

I have an HP-Pavilion Vista PC with MS Office 2007 and Service Pack 2. Each time I try to save a Word or Excel document I get the “Not Responding” message. The “Word is saving……” bar at the bottom does not show any progress. On clicking the document I get a faded version even when in Safe Mode. Somehow the document appears on the Desktop where I tried to save it. On trying to open the saved document, even as administrator, I get the following ”File in Use” message:
“The ….docx is locked for editing by….” and I am asked three questions including:
“Do you want to open a Read Only copy” yet on clicking “Yes” I am able to edit the same document.
On trying to save to a different location I get the message:
“Your autocorrect file MSO 1033.ad could not be saved. The file may be read only or you may not have permission to modify this file.”
The same message stating FILE12\1033\MSO.ACL MSO 1033ad recurs with new Excel documents.
How can I correct this problem?
PS
Worse still, the HP Advisor icon that appears on startup does not load successfully while showing the message: “Access to the path Hewlett-Packard\HD Advisor is denied”.
What can I do about it?

Hi Kim Sharp,
According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2 view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
use ReportServer
SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
FROM ExecutionLog2
ORDER BY Timestart DESC
Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
Besides this, you could also follow these articles for more information about this issue:

How to apply OSS note and how to use it?--thanks

Hi, morning all,
I want to know how to apply OSS notes and how to use it, pls help me.
Thanks.

Applying OSS note is a critical activity in the system. Usually this task is carried out by the basis, as they maintain the system and the notes, support packs, etc.
A OSS note has potential to impact the system in several ways. So it is better to work with the basis if you need to apply a OSS note to be applied.
Transaction code is Snotes. But pl dont attempt to apply by yourself.
Reg your other question as how to use the OSS note, there is nothing like using aOSS note. Just apply and depending on what the notes do, it may change the config, or download a program or something.

List all servers with OS and service pack

Is there an easy way using any script or software to list all servers joined to your domain including operating system (i.e. server 2008) and service pack level, without having to check each manually?

Hi Cf090,
The limit is used to Specify the number of objects to return that matches the criteria that you specify. If you specify a value of
0 for <NumberOfObjects>, this parameter returns all matching objects. If you do not specify this parameter,
dsquery displays the first 100 results by default.
For more detailed information to use dsquery, please refer to this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754232.aspx
If you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know.

Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 upgradation

Hi,
I need your support to upgrade and migrate to Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 in my development server.
I am currently upgrading my Crystal enterprise version 9 with the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2. I have the below questions to be clarified. Appreciate if you can reply me ASAP. Thanks.
My Environment:
O/S - Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition; Version 5.2 (Build 3790); Service Pack - 1
RAM size - 1 GB
Installed software - Crystal enterprise 9
1) After successfully upgraded with the XI version, all my current user accounts and existing reports are not available in the upgraded version. Pl. suggest me, how to migrate my existing connections and all the existing reports?
2) In my server, SQL Server is not installed. But SQL Server instance (SQL Server 7.00.623) is running in my taskbar (desktop). If I stopped the SQL Server instance, the "Crystal APS" in the Crystal Configuration Manager is stopped. What information is stored in the SQL Server?
3) What is the default SQL server version bundled with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Service Pack 2? What is the SQL server version you recommand?
4) Will the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP2 supports the SQL Server 7.00.623?
Regards
Sanrajesh

Hello, Sanrajesh,
You have been using Crystal Enterprise 9.0 and now you are installing Crystal Reports XI R2. Is that correct?
Crystal Reports XI R2 is just the Crystal Reports designer and runtime for development.
Crystal Reports XI R2 does not have the functionality of Crystal Enterprise. The upgrade would be Crystal Enterprise 9.0 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. (11.5)
A full BusinessObjects Enterprise installation will install the appropriate MS SQL Server for it's own use.
Will this be the Enterprise server or just the Development system to create an application connecting to your BusinessObjects Enterprise server?
What development language will you be programming in?
If you have BusinessObjects Enterprise installed elsewhere you only need the appropriate development components on your system and connect to the server in code.
Our BusinessEnterprise Support team would assist you in the upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 if that was your plan.
Then we could discuss the development requirements.

I am not able to install itunes in my windows XP computer because it does not have service pack 3. what can I do?

Dear friends,
I want to transfer files between my windows XP computer and my Ipad4. I am not able to install itunes on my computer because it does not have service pack 3. What can be done? Please help?

Have you tried installing Service Pack 3 ? You should be able to try installing it via Windows Update in the windows start menu

Having problems downloading itunes 10.5.2; box states windows installer issue. I have a 2005 with windows XP and service pack 2. Any ideas?

Just bought a new ipod touch for my daughter. It won't sync without itunes 10.5.2 loaded on our computer (a 2005 HP with Windows XP and service pack 2.) When I've tried to load 10.5.2, I get an error message box stating there is a problem with my Windows installer. I've tried loading the windows installer hot fix KB942288-v3-x86, but it didn't help. Any suggestion?

Hi Lorheak,
thanks for the quick reply. I had the same idea already yesterday. I use Norton Internet Security for a long time now without any problems. I think this a Apple or Microsoft problem, because the popup window which appear come from Windows DEP. I got no message from the firewall with any problem. I check the log files from Norton and Windows already but find nothing. This is a very strange problem. In the past I have had a lot of other problems with iTunes upgrades. Everytime I accept the installation of the newest version I got errors regarding missing "msi" files.
Greetings Gert

OSS note and SAP Note

Dear experts
Can Anyone kindly clear me the difference between
1.OSS note and SAP Note.
2.SAP Patch and Support Packages.
Thanx in advance
Regards
G.Reddy.

OSS Note and SAP Note are the same thing.
Support Package / Support Package Stack refers to a group of corrections and/or enahcnements which include a group of OSS Notes, and changes to multiple components that SAP has tested as a group and recommends be installed together.
I think Patch may be a little more ambigous. For some, they might mean Support Package when they use the term Patch, or maybe even an OSS Note. SAP also refers to updates to some components as Patches, e.g. they release database patches, and with BW, the BW SAPGUI Addon is also sometimes referred to as the Front End Patch.

It is always recommended to apply the latest Support Packages on the PI system. The reason being that a lot of fixes are included in the latest SPs. Also, the perfomance of hte system will be improved with the latest SPs.

Software Updates And Service Packs Not Showing As Required

I have a few clients where when I do a scan with Windows Update it will show a few updates. These updates are synced in the Configmgr console. But it says they are not required. One of them is a service pack even.
I have checked and both the hardware inventory and software update scan have run within the past 24 hours.
I ran a homepage summarization, but still no luck.
What would my next step be?

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

IPods and Service Pack 3 for Windows XP

If you have installed Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, an issue may arrise that will not allow iPods to function. You will get an error that the iPod Service Module has experienced an error and needs to close.
If you see this error, first check to see if you can see any of your devices in the Device Manager. To do this, click on Start, the right click on My Computer, then click on the Hardware tab, then click on the Device Manager button. If this window is blank, you will need to call Microsoft directly at 800-642-7676.
The reason that the Device Manager is now blank is that if you were running any Anti-Virus program while Service Pack 3 was being installed, there was a certain file that was prevented from running that was designed to clean up the registry after installation. Since this file did not execute, that is why your Device Manager is now blank and your iPod will not work.
A word of caution though. When you call Microsoft, do not tell them that the reason you are calling is that your iPod does not work due to Service Pack 3. If you say this, they will want to charge you $80.00 for tech support. On the other hand, if you say that you recently installed Service Pack 3 and have noticed that the Device Manager is now empty, you will now get the tech support for free.
I write this for any who might be experiencing this problem as Apple Tech Support has informed me that this is one of their biggest tech support issues in the past couple of months since Service Pack 3 was released.

Still useful as of 12/30/11. Have ten Lenovo 5042 computers with downgrade licenses to run XP and have a ghosted image from another Lenovo 5042 having and Intel cpu. My target computers all have AMD cpus in them and the image would continuously reboot on
the AMD computers.
Used method 1 and it cleared the problem instantly, many thanks for the post and the time and effort it took to dig up the answer..
