    Hi Durga Prasad

    How to use ST03N in my case it doesn't show the active instance of SAP in the list and if any period (Day, Week or Month) If we choose it says Wrong Period

    I am using SAP ECC 6.0 SR2 IDES
    Or Is it that we cant use this T-Code in Training Software (IDES)

    Would request you if you can guide in a step by step manner how to use and specially how to add the instance in it.

    Thanks

    Ale
