Due to the SAP Support Backbone update, calls to SAP Notes search using RFC protocol (RFC destinations such as SAPOSS/SAPSNOTE) will not be allowed for ABAP systems having SAP NetWeaver 740 and above effective January 1st, 2020.
SAP Note 2730525 provides a new API, valid for SAP NetWeaver 740 and above, that calls the SOAP based SAP Note search web service in the SAP Support Backbone.

For SAP NetWeaver 731 and below, the above-mentioned SAP Notes are not applicable. Hence, SAP Notes search functionality will no longer be supported in ANST effective January 1st, 2020.
