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

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.

Refer to the above sections 1.2.2 to 1.2.8 for relevant Note.

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.

2446868 for 700 release) is set to Completely Implemented.
