Yesterday we had an issue on an SAP implementation. I was sure that it was a standard error, because in other implementation the functionality works perfectly.

On Twitter Nicolas Busson reminded me that ANST can save your life quickly and easily

This video is the live implementation of the OSS Note using ANST.

Very nice!

And thanks for the mention. I’m using ANST extensively, and I must admit that’s one of the tools you can’t live without once you started using it. I guess Carlos Martinez Escribano will like this blog post for sure =)

Cheers,

Nick.

Yes I have been got my client to upgrade SCM system to BASIS SP level to get ANST.

Helped me and my client architect for our SAP APO issues including recently using it for doing a trace (without BASIS support) and nailing down BADI implementation getting called in a functional transaction.

I had mentioned ANST as a hidden gem discovered in 2013 in my 2013 Wrapup blog along with ABAP Debugger Scripting (getting my ABAPer to use it 😀 )

Best regards,

Somnath

  Dear Ankit,
  
  Just type transaction ANST_SEARCH_TOOL or ANSRT and start using ANST.
