While you can search for relevant SAP Notes on any SAP solution or product in SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/notes , you need an SAP customer or partner user ID to access SMP.
SDN currently replicates only Notes from certain components into this public network.
To help developers working with SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe to find what's relevant in terms of general information not contained in the standard documentation or bug fixes, here is an overview of the Notes I refer to time and again. I have grouped them according to major topics.
A short introductory comment: As SDNers have been busy creating browser shortcuts and add-ons for accessing SAP Notes (just search the blogs for it), I have decided to
not
provide direct links to the Notes below. Everyone works differently and with their preferred tools, so I'll be damned if I prescribe the use of one of them.
(A good new way to do it, though, is using the URL http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/<note_number>, as described in this New hyperlink format for SAP Notes.
Components ('Application Areas') to keep an eye on
:
When you work with SAP Interactive Forms, be sure to check these areas for relevant Notes:
BC-SRV-FP (for all initial customer messages, especially for Adobe document services and Adobe LiveCycle Designer)
BC-WD-JAV (Web Dynpro for Java)
BC-WD-ABA (Web Dynpro for ABAP)
BC-WD-ACF (Active Components Framework)
If you are working with the ISR framework in mySAP ERP, also check these:
EP-PCT-MGR-HR (Manager Self-Service HR)
EP-PCT-MGR-CO (Manager Self-Service Financials and ISR/Adobe integration)
