There are many tips are posted in SCN. How t osearch SAP Notes.
Please note that the Installation instructions dated 2013-06-15 refer to SAP Notes for ABAP (Section 1.2) and SAP Notes for SAP ERP (Section 1.3). Note 1805986 is a pre-requisite for 1774246 for the Mobile Inbox APIs.
We had installed all the notes applicable to our environment, but were getting a short dump in our ERP system when running the Fiori Purchase Requisition Application:
CL_WAPI_MOBILE_INBOX==========CP :
"Method "GET_NUMBER_COMMENTS" is unknown or PROTECTED or PRIVATE."
The problem is that this CL_WAP_MOBILE_INBOX private method _GET_COMMENT_COUNT was trying to call a non-existent method.
If You're on an ABAP 7.31 SP02 stack on your ERP like we are, version 2 of Note 1805986 was only applicable for SP03 onwards, so we couldn't install it. On 2013-07-12 SAP released version 3 of this note which now allows us to install the note which includes this method from class CL_SWF_RUN_WORKITEM_COMPATIBLE.
Hey presto all is working now 🙂
