  • Unicode Conversion in a system landsacpe

    Hello,
    we are planning a unicode conversion of our productive system.
    Our productive system is the source system of several systems like BI, mobile engine, webshop and so on.
    About the problems of unicode conversion within the productive system I have found a lot of information.
    But what about the scenario: If our productive system is unicode based and the satellite system do not have unicode, is that a problem.
    Do we have to keep in mind to convert also the target/satellite system ?
    And futher more do we have to analyse the program codes in the satellite system for BI (transfer structure,infoobject and so) ?
    Do anybody have expierience with his system landscape ?
    Thanks so far,
    Komin

    hello henning,
    are you connected with the other systems via RFC?
    if yes it should be no problem, because you can different in you rfc settings, between incoming non-unicode lettes and outging unicode

  • Unicode Conversion: Building Target System in Advance

    I already successfully ran ./distribution_monitor.sh -p on the source and have generated the relevant files (i.e., DBSIZE.TPL, DDLORA.TPL, and LABEL.ASC).  Per the 'Distribution Monitor 1.9.1 Users' Guide, section 11.2.1, it says to select the "SAPinst option 'Installation using Migration Monitor'".  When I start sapinst on the target and navigate attempt to create the target using Software Life Cycle Options, I cannot find "Installation using Migration Monitor" anywhere.  I have tried multiple different options, hoping it would finally appear, but no luck.  Your advice is appreciated.

    Hi,
    you need to select ...  > system copy > <your DB>
    Then under
    > (Step 2) Define Parameters
    you should tick the option:
    > Start Migration Monitor manually

  • Combined Upgrade and Unicode conversion of Sap 4.6C to ECC6.0

    Hello all,
    my project team intends to carry out a combined upgrade and unicode conversion of an SAP ERP 4.6C system with MDMP to ECC6.0 (no enhancement package). The system is running on Oracle 10.2.
    In preparation for this upgrade, I have gone through the SAP notes 928729, 54801.
    We need to get a rough estimate of the entire downtime so as to alert our end users. From the CU&UC documentation in 928729, I read up note 857081. However the program in this note cannot be used to estimate the downtime as my system is < SAP netweaver 6.20.
    Is there any other SAP note or tool or program that I can use to estimate the downtime for the entire CU&UC? Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    Combined upgrade depend upon number of factors like database size, resources on the server and optimization. In order to get idea of how much downtime, it will take, I would suggest you to do combined upgrade and unicode conversion on sandbox system which should be the replica of your production system. And try to optimize it. From there you can get approx. downtime required.
    Also, please read combined upgrade and unicode conversion guides on  http://service.sap.com/unicode@sap
    Thanks

  • Unicode Conversion ERP6.0 EHP3

    Hello
    We have for Dev. purpose an ERP6.0 EHP3 SP2 Non-Unicode System, now we should make an Unicode conversion with this system. Does someone have an Idea for me which Conversion Guide I have to use for this ?  NW70-14 ?? NW7016 ??  NW701 ??  there must be an NW703 or not ??
    thanks,
    Stefan

    Hi Stefan,
    the Unicode conversion guides depend on the Basis/NW support packages / EhPs of your system.
    If you have e.g. NW 7.0 EhP 1, then you need the guide 701.
    The application support packages / EhPs are not relevant for the UC conversion (since it can be used for ERP,CRM,SCM, ...).

  • Where to perform UCCHECK etc in a UNICODE System or  NonUNicode System

    Hi ,
    Inorder to find out Our system is Unicode System or not , generally we can do that by ...... System --> Status .
    Here in my case  My Sytem is not a Unicode System.
    But My project is a Combined Upgrade and Unicode . We are doing the UCCHECK for Unicode Errors.
    My doubt is We have to perform UCCHECK etc in a UNICODE System or in a NonUNicode System ?
    Thanks in advance

    Re: Upgrade 4.6 to ECC - What are the responsibilites
    regarding Unicode influence in Standard programs
    Very good document:
    http://www.doag.org/pub/docs/sig/sap/2004-03/Buhlinger_Maxi_Version.pdf
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d37d1ad9-0b01-0010-ed9f-bc3222312dd8
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/589d18d9-0b01-0010-ac8a-8a22852061a2
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f8e316d9-0b01-0010-8e95-829a58c1511a
    You need to use the transaction UCCHECK.
    The report documentation is here
    ABAP Unicode Scan Tool UCCHECK
    You can use transaction UCCHECK to examine a Unicode program set for syntax errors without having to set the program attribute "Unicode checks active" for every individual program. From the list of Unicode syntax errors, you can go directly to the affected programs and remove the errors. It is also possible to automatically create transport requests and set the Unicode program attribute for a program set.
    Some application-specific checks, which draw your attention to program points that are not Unicode-compatible, are also integrated.
    Selection of Objects:
    The program objects can be selected according to object name, object type, author (TADIR), package, and original system. For the Unicode syntax check, only object types for which an independent syntax check can be carried out are appropriate. The following object types are possibilities:
    PROG Report
    CLAS Class
    FUGR Function groups
    FUGX Function group (with customer include, customer area)
    FUGS Function group (with customer include, SAP area)
    LDBA Logical Database
    CNTX Context
    TYPE Type pool
    INTF Interface
    Only Examine Programs with Non-Activated Unicode Flag
    By default, the system only displays program objects that have not yet set the Unicode attribute. If you want to use UCCHECK to process program objects that have already set the attribute, you can deactivate this option.
    Only Objects with TADIR Entry
    By default, the system only displays program objects with a TADIR entry. If you want to examine programs that don't have a TADIR entry, for example locally generated programs without a package, you can deactivate this option.
    Exclude Packages $*
    By default, the system does not display program objects that are in a local, non-transportable package. If you want to examine programs that are in such a package, you can deactivate this option.
    Display Modified SAP Programs Also
    By default, SAP programs are not checked in customer systems. If you also want to check SAP programs that were modified in a customer system (see transaction SE95), you can activate this option.
    Maximum Number of Programs:
    To avoid timeouts or unexpectedly long waiting times, the maximum number of program objects is preset to 50. If you want to examine more objects, you must increase the maximum number or run a SAMT scan (general program set processing). The latter also has the advantage that the data is stored persistently. Proceed as follows:
    - Call transaction SAMT
    - Create task with program RSUNISCAN_FINAL, subroutine SAMT_SEARCH
    For further information refer to documentation for transaction SAMT.
    Displaying Points that Cannot Be Analyzed Statically
    If you choose this option, you get an overview of the program points, where a static check for Unicode syntax errors is not possible. This can be the case if, for example, parameters or field symbols are not typed or you are accessing a field or structure with variable length/offset. At these points the system only tests at runtime whether the code is sufficient for the stricter Unicode tests. If possible, you should assign types to the variables used, otherwise you must check runtime behavior after the Unicode attribute has been set.
    To be able to differentiate between your own and foreign code (for example when using standard includes or generated includes), there is a selection option for the includes to be displayed. By default, the system excludes the standard includes of the view maintenance LSVIM* from the display, because they cause a large number of messages that are not relevant for the Unicode conversion. It is recommended that you also exclude the generated function group-specific includes of the view maintenance (usually L<function group name>F00 and L<function group name>I00) from the display.
    Similarly to the process in the extended syntax check, you can hide the warning using the pseudo comment ("#EC *).
    Applikation-Specific Checks
    These checks indicate program points that represent a public interface but are not Unicode-compatible. Under Unicode, the corresponding interfaces change according to the referenced documentation and must be adapted appropriately.
    View Maintenance
    Parts of the view maintenance generated in older releases are not Unicode-compatible. The relevant parts can be regenerated with a service report.
    UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD
    The function modules UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD or WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are obsolete and cannot run under Unicode. Refer to the documentation for these modules to find out which routines serve as replacements.

    Anji

  • Changes in source system dyring Unicode conversion

    Hi,
    I've upgraded our R/3 non-Unicode installation to ERP 6.0 non-Unicode using CU&UC guide. Now I plan to do the export & import phase to migrate the source system to Unicode.
    My question is, does the export phase (where the Unicode conversion actually takes place) do any changes in the source system? It' is a production system, and when something goes wrong or the time exceeds the limit I have for the export, I need to stop the export, put it back to production and try another time. So I need to be sure that the export itself doesn't do any changes to the source system.
    Thanks in advance
    Tomas

    Hi Tomas,
    the export simply "copies" the source system (and converts the data to Unicode) - it does not change it.
    Therefore you can still use it after the export is finished.

  • Combined upgrade and Unicode conversion for ECC5 MDMP system

    Hello,
    We are planning to do Upgrade and Unicode conversion of ECC5 MDMP system to ECC6 EHP4 Unicode. We are adopting Combined upgrade and Unicode conversion strategy to minimise the downtime.
       In source version ECC5 we are in support pack level 6. Should we need to update the support pack to any target version to start with CU&UC or we can start with ECC5 with SP 6 itself.
    Since we cant afford more downtime for support pack update also, is it ok to start with upgrade and unicode conversion with current version.
    please advice.
    Regards
    Vinay

    Hello Vinay,
    please note that as a prerequisite the Basis SP should be accurate for an MDMP conversion.
    There is no MUST to have the latest Basis SP, but without you could have severe issues in SPUMG.
    On the application side, there are in most cases no hard requirements on the SP level.

  • Job logs from the original system after Unicode conversion.

    Dear Globalization experts,
    We are doing Unicode conversion and would like to know, if the Job logs from the batch jobs, executed before conversion (system with a 1100 code page), would be readable  in the Unicode system after the conversion.  We will move job log files from the source to the target  system. I .  Thank you in advance for your help.
    Best regards,
    Alik Shapiro

    Hi Alik,
    I have strong doubts that this will work ...
    From SAP notes 842767 and 901004 you can see, that spool data will not be converted properly by default.
    In general this is valid for data stored in TemSe, as this is by definition temporary data (see for example http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d9/4a8f9c51ea11d189570000e829fbbd/content.htm ).
    However I actually did not test it, so I am not 100% sure.

    Hi,
    Table split option is used for very large databases, you can use normal export/import method.
    What is your database size ?
    I had done UC for databases upto 1.5 TB, never used table split technique.
    Keep it simple while doing complex tasks.

  • Error while database export in package SAPDODS_33 (Unicode conversion)

    Hello,
    I am performing Unicode conversion on an upgraded BI 7.0 system. This is running on AIX/DB2.
    When I take database export for conversion, one package fails (SAPDODS_33) with error "The file system is full". In fact, df -k doesn't show that any file system is full.
    I am taking the export to the following location: /db2/BWS/sapdata/EXPORT_DIR
    There are 3 system-managed temporary tablespaces: PSAPTEMP, PSATEMP16 & SYSTOOLSTMPSPACE which were residing in /db2/BWS/saptemp1/NODE0000. This was getting full during the export. Now these temp.tablespaces have been relocated to a new file system of size 15GB.
    But still the package SAPDODS_33 doesn't get exported. Could you please let me know how to solve this issue?
    Thanks a lot!
    Sundar.

    Hi Sundar,
    if the problem is due to a high temp space usage. The root cause is typically the
    sort during export. If the table is large, the sort spills to temp.
    You can avoid the sort by doing an unsorted export or tweak the DB2 optimizer to use the primary key to do the sort.
    Before DB2 9, you can reduce the OVERHEAD tablespace parameter to zero. Return this value to its previous value after the successful export. This is a indirect hint to the optimizer that random IOs are cheap. This might not help.
    With DB2 9, this should not happen, because the  DB2_OPT_MAX_TEMP_SIZE=10240 registry variable is set under DB2_WORKLOAD=SAP which limits the temp space usage to 10GB if possible. You can reduce this parameter further if necessary. Another problem could be that the optimizer has chosen the wrong temp space. The optimizer choses the temp space with the largest amount of pages (not size).
    Regards, Jens

  • SAP R/3 4.6 C to ECC 6.0 Upgrade using CU &UC method- Unicode conversion

    Basis Gurus
       I am working on upgrade from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
    ECC 6.0 upgrade completed( still in non Unicode).  Now I am in the process of Unicode conversion.
    I have used following methods for the upgrade.
    1. Combined Upgrade & Unicode conversion(CU & UC)
    2. Resource minimized( as I am doing it in Sandbox).
      As I understand I need to perform the DB export and Import now for the unicode conversion.
      According to the Upgrade document, First I need to run Export using R3load in ECC6.0(Non unicode)
      and then install Unicode system and import the same data file.
      My understanding was, when I choose, Resource minimized, I need to run Export and import
      in the same system.
      Can you please help me , whether I need another Unicode system for import ??
    Graham

    Hi,
    Dont get confused with upg strategy and unicode conversion.
    In general Upgrade strategy (either downtime-minimized/resource minimized)
    In unicode conversion you have export/import(exp/imp) of data concept
    In CU&UC approach you have to do in a streach to complete migrate from old release to new realease ECC 6.00.
    Using database independent (sapinst only) or Using database dependent (migration monitor or Distribution monitor)
    It can be done in 2 ways.
    If you dont have addtional server for unicode conversion
           1)you can either do exp on same hardware and take bakup and do import using the exp dump.
           2)Do exp on one server and prepare your target empty database on another server and complete imp of data.
    Hope this is clear.
    Regards,
    Vamshi.

  • Preparing for upgrade and Unicode conversion while on 4.6c

    We're currently on 4.6c and preparing to upgrade to ERP 2005 and do a Unicode conversion.  I'm trying to compile a list of coding techniques that can used in 4.6c that will minimize changes needed for Unicode.  Does anyone have such a list?
    Some things I've discovered reading about Unicode include:
    1) Use GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD rather than WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD.
    2) Structures or table headers that contain non-character data need to be identical when moving, comparing, selecting into, updating from, etc.  This includes not moving structures/tables with non-character data to a character field or vice-versa.
    3) Offsets can't cross non-character data.
    4) Assign statement with offset must specify a length.
    5) Open dataset must specify "FOR INPUT", "FOR OUTPUT", "FOR APPENDING", or "FOR  UPDATE".  It no longer defaults to FOR INPUT when omitted.
    6) Many implicit conversions from char to numeric are no longer allowed.  Use explicit conversion instead; such as the move statement.
    I know there are others.  Any help would be appreciated.
