Important SAP BASIS related OSS Notes

Hi All,

Today I’m going to share a list of SAP OSS Notes related to Basis. This list of OSS Notes was built based on my technical experience from 2000 – 2015. I noted them down since they’re not just helped me solve problem that I faced at that time, but I think they also contain some useful and important information or basic concepts of SAP Basis that made me learn something out by just reading them.

So for Basis guys, happy reading on these OSS Notes!
