Den Korrekturstand entnehmen Sie bitte den zwei letzten Stellen im Nummernbereich des Dateinamens (z.B. beim sn1231eu10sn_0001_doc.exe ist _01_ der Korrekturstand, die groesst e Nummer entspricht dem neuesten Stand) Bei Problemen mit dieser Datei erhalten Sie Untersttzung bei: ICN-Ti-Docu.Support@icn.siemens.de Die Unterlage unterliegt nicht dem Aenderungsdienst. Vorgehensweise zur Verwendung von Kursunterlagen (Ueberpruefung des Aenderungssta nds): - Rufen Sie die Intranetseite fuer die Kursdokumentationssuche auf - Geben Sie die gewuenschte Kursnummer im Feld 'Suchen' ein - Ermitteln Sie den Materialstamm anhand der BOM - Verwenden Sie nur den aktuellen Aenderungsstand der Dokumentation (letzte 2 Stellen des Nummernbereichs im Dateinamen). >>> Ueberpruefen Sie bitte, ob es sich um den aktuellen Kurs handelt; laden Sie diesen gegebenenfalls erneut herunter! Please enter the last two digits from the number area of the file name, as the st atus of correction (e.g. with sn1231eu10sn_01_doc.exe is _01_ the status of correction, the largest number corresponds to the most recent status) When problems occur with this files, consult MTS: ICN-Ti-Docu.Support@icn.siemens.de There is no update service for these modules. Procedures for the use of course documents (vetting of the level of change): - Consult the Intranet site for the course documentation search - Enter the selected course number in the field 'Search' - Establish the core material from the BOM - Only use the current update service of the documentation (last 2 digits of the number in the data name). >>> Please check, if it is the course in question; if not, then enter the right one once again underneath!
