Arabic Data Migration

Trying to migrate Arabic data from sql server 2000 to Oracle 9i. Getting question marks for Arabic data in the target oracle database. Are there any settings in workbench related to language specific issues.

We are using 3 data base for the appllication developed in java.
One of our common table containing all the country location ( post code / zip ) details. Problem is that this details are insert to the data base using SQL*PUS or Sql command line available while installing oracle 10g / 10g express data base.
But when we run sql script with special characters like МП Летище Бургас ( Bulgarien )
INSERT INTO beoatlas2.OPTION(LANGUAGE,VERSION,TYPE,module,CODE,description,bemerkung,description2,description3) VALUES('DE','SCPRLD','122','ALL','BG001002','МП Летище Бургас','','','ext');
or Β΄ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗΣ ( Griechenland - greece )
INSERT INTO beoatlas2.OPTION(LANGUAGE,VERSION,TYPE,module,CODE,description,bemerkung,description2,description3) VALUES('DE','SCPRLD','122','ALL','GR002002',N'Β΄ ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗΣ','','','ext');
it returns as ?????? marks . i set NLS_LANG to AL32UTF8 using command set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
then also it displaying as ???????
I need to insert these details properly in Linux and windows Os using sql command line .
Any sujections are appreciated . Its very urgent .
Thanks & Regards

  • Will Reinstallation and Data migration solve the Character Set Problem????

    Hi to all,
    We are having a problem with Arabic Data in the Oracle 9i Database, when we are adding any data using SQL * Plus and a asp.net web based application, the data is converting to ????? (Question Marks), when the database was installed on the Server with Windows 2003 OS, it was not having Arabic Support, after installation of oracle 9i it was realised, later we installed the language packs for Arabic on the Server.
    So this was the reason the arabic support is not there in the database, we changed the NLS_LANG parameter of the Server's Registry entry, but this did'nt make any effect on the database, the only change we observed was that now we were able to type arabic data in the SQL * Plus on the Server machine. But after saving the record when we retrieve the data is coming as ?????? , so we tried to insert the data using a client which is having the Arabic Support and we inserted a row using the SQL * Plus with arabic data in the insert statement, after inserting when we retrieve the data. The data was visible without any problem.
    So What is the problem is the database storing the arabic data correctly or not ???, we think there is problem with the Server's Oracle Configuartion, is there any other way we can get the server working with arabic data or a Reinstall of the Oracle Data will solve the Problem.
    Or we can do something on the server machine so that we dont need the Resinstallation.
    If we have to Reinstall the Server what are the best practices and steps we should follow so that we have a seamless migration between the old and the new oracle database.
    Thanks and Regards

    With NLS_LANG on the client and NLS_CHARACTERSET in the database equal AR8MSWIN1256, you should be able to support Arabic data without problems. If you have problems, it usually means a configuration issue on the client, for example, NLS_LANG not set for the right Oracle Home, or lack of Arabic support in a particular tool.
    You need to add Arabic message files to the database Oracle Home (i.e. Arabic should be selected in the Product Languages dialog box in the Installer) only if you care about the language of error messages returned from the database to clients. If you do not display these ORA-xxxx error messages to end users, it should be OK to leave them in English. Also, if you want Arabic error messages, month names, and weekday names, you should change AMERICAN to ARABIC in NLS_LANG.

  • Arabic data garbage STG database

    I migrate data from ODS database to STG database ,but arabic data displayed to target as ??????????????????????????
    I need help please my friends

    Ok, I'll write equally condensed as you (as this is a FAQ, and it always boils down to people not reading documentation)
    Somehow, somewhere there is a mismatch between the client NLS_LANG, the characterset of the export, and the characterset of the target database.
    As you couldn't be bothered to include any of them in your post, a more accurate answer is impossible.

  • Fixed Asset Data Migration Wizard

    Hi All,
    I tried to use Fixed Asset Data Migration Wizard to migration my fixed asset data from 8.82 to 9 in the development server.  The server only accessible by myself.
    When I start the migration run, system prompt me " To Continue with the fixed asset data migration, you must be the only user logged on to this company data".
    In fact I'm the only user in the company data and system not allow me to execute the migration.
    What are the causes that system recognise there is another user in the system?
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,

    Hi,
    If you're using SQL Server, try Detach (close existing connections) and re-Attach the database again then re-login and try executing again the wizard.

  • Truncating arabic data/text when deployed on 10gAS, where as Eng is Ok

    DETAILS:
    When I run a report using report builder everything is fine. But when I deploy that same report on Application server & when I run from browser, the arabic data in the report is getting truncated ! where as English text/data is ok.
    To solved this problem I have to expand each text / item in report builder. But why with arabic only? And how the report is working fine when run using Report Builder? For some reports even after expanding still gets truncated while deployed on Application server.
    I think the FIX is around PDF. when report is deployed on AS, then output is generated in PDF & then above problem is encountered. Where as executed in Report Builder, output is generated in previewer which is fine.
    please help

    I have experiecnce with this problem... and unfortunatly ther's not solution.
    Some trigger (like when-mouse-enter or when-mouse-live) don't work with form deployed on web. I suppose that these triggers are not supported in deployd on web because the "client" browser shuld be constantly comunicate with the runtime engine.

  • Data Migration for Open Purchase Order

    Hi, All,
    Is there anyone know how to Count the volume for Open Purchase Order. What's the normal strategy for the Data Migration and Cut-over stage?
    My client want to know how many Open Purchase Order in the legacy system and then determine manual or automatic data migration. If manual, how to do? If automatic, how to do? Because all materials and vendors, plants are different number. How to track? How to find out to match between new and old?
    Thank you very much

    JC,
    Sounds a bit early to be making decisions about the realization phase.  It doesn't sound like you have finished the Blueprinting phase yet, much less the testing phase.
    Anyhow, in my experience I typically use LSMW (Legacy system migration workbench) to load MM master data (material masters), Inventory (WIP, RM, FG, etc) Purchasing Master data (Vendors, Purchase Info Records, Source Lists, Quota Arrangements), and Purchasing transactional documents (POs, PurReqs, Scheduling Agreements, etc).  Depending on the complexity and volume of data, it  may be necessary to write custom programs to load the data.  You will find this out during your requirements gathering.
    It is uncommon but possible to load all of these data manually.  I have never run across a client that wants to pay a consultant's hourly rate to sit at a terminal to peck away loading master data, so if the client intends to have his own users enter the data manually, the project manager should make provision that there will be qualified TRAINED client employees available for this data entry.  I did help with a portion of a conversion once manually; of Sales Credits, but there were only about 30 SD docs to load.   I did this the evening before go-live day, while I was waiting for some of my LSMW projects to complete in the background.
    A good opportunity to 'practice' your data loads is right after you have completed your development and customization, and you have gotten the approval from the client to proceed from the pilot build to the full test environment.  Once you have moved your workbench and customization into the client's test environment, but before integration testing, you can mass load all, or a substantial portion of your conversion data into the qual system.  You can treat it like a dry run for go-live, and fine tune your processes, as well as your LSMW projects.
    Yes, it is good practice to generate comparisons between legacy and SAP even if the client doesn't ask for it. For Purchase orders on the SAP side, you could use any of the standard SAP Purchasing reports, such as ME2W, ME2M, ME2C, ME2L, ME2N.  If these reports do not meet the requirements of the client, you could write a query to display the loaded data, or have an ABAPer write a custom report.
    You didn't ask, but you should also do comparisons of ALL loaded data - including master data.
    It sounds like you are implying that the client wants YOU to extract the legacy data.  For an SAP consultant, this is not very realistic (unless the legacy system is another SAP system).  Most of us do not understand the workings of the myriad legacy systems.  The client is usually expected to produce one or more legacy system technical experts for you to liase with.  You normally negotiate with the technical expert about every facet of of the data migration.  In addition, you will liase with business users, who will help you and the implementation team to logically validate that the final solution (turnkey SAP production system, fully loaded with data) will meet the client's business needs.
    Finally, you mentioned how do you track the mapping of master data between legacy and SAP.  There are many ways to do this.  I normally try to get the legacy person do the conversion on his end, eg, when he gives you the load file, you would like to have already translated the master data and inserted the SAP relevant values into the file.  If this is not possible, I usually use MS Access databases to maintain a master map, and I perform the mapping on a PC.  If your data package is small, you can probably get by using MS Excel or similar.
    Good Luck,

  • Data migration

    Dear all my friends,
    please help to share me about data migration before go-live FI system.
    i plan to migrate GL acct balance, AP/AR open item and last 3 months historical data.
    please help to show me : how should i do ?
    thanks !

    1. Normal GL Accounts: In this case line items are not required and totals are to be updated in SAP. This can be done using GL fast entry if the number is not too high.
    2. Open Item Managed GL Accounts: All the open line items are required to be uploaded in SAP from Legacy in order to clear them. Hence, a LSMW / BDC program has to be developed to upload the line items.
    BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST - for GL/AP/AR
    BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST - for AP
    BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST - for GL
    GL Balance
    F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
    Dr GL a/c Credit Data migration Account or Clearing Account
    3. Customer & Vendor Open Items: All open line items in Customer and Vendor Accounts have to be brought in into SAP. For this also a LSMW / BDC program needs to be developed and upload the line items.
    Vendor Balances
    F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
    Credit Vendor a/c (individually) and Dr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
    Customer balances
    F-02 or RFBIBL00 or BAPI
    Dr Customers a/c (individually) and Dr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
    4. Asset Accounting: In case asset accounting is implemented the individual balances of each asset (Gross Value and Accumulated Depreciation) have to be uploaded using transaction AS91. For this also you need to develop a LSMW / BDC program. Further, you also need to update the GL Accounts related to Asset Accounts with totals for each asset class T.Code OASV.
    For uploading the Assets
    AS91 -> for uploading assets in AA
    OSAV --> for uploading assets in GL entry Dr Asset (individually) Cr Data migration Account or Clearing Account
    You can use LSMW for uploading all these things
    After uploading all, your data migration account will become zero

  • Confuse on PR & PO data migration approach new to MM module

    Hi All,
    I'm pretty confuse with the PO data migration approach when it comes to PO is GR or partial GR or GR&IR. I'm hoping that someone can enlighten me. i understand that we typically don't migrate PO when it is GR & IR, FI team usually will bring over to the new system as an vendor open item in AP. How about the PR or PO which have gone through or half release strategy? What is the follow up process?  I have created a criteria table below. How Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

    For partial GR to recreate PO only with missing GR quantity
    Regards,
    John

    Hi John,
    The approach that i have followed recently is that we have considered PO as the base document and converted other documents based on the PO condition. This means you first need to see if the PO is to be converted or not. Then you can proceed to convert the related documents like PR, Agreement, Info record, Source list, etc.
    Also open qty for PO should be considered for Material and Service line items both.
    Once a GR/SES is created, it gets updated in the PO history table EKBE with its related transaction/event type.i.e. EKBE-VGABE = 1 for GR and 9 for SES. Quantity and value also gets updated in case of material and services. You can compare this consumed quantities with PO quantity.
    Please see below from SCN and let me know if you need more info on PR or PO conversion.

  • Data Migration of FI-CA Cleared Items

    Hi,
    Currently I am working on a Data Migration project to migrate data from our FI-CA  module on ERP 4.7 to ECC 6.0.
    THere has been a request from the business to migrate historical data (e.g. Cleared items).
    Is there a SAP recommended approach or tools to load this data into the target environment?
    Currently all documentation around SAP data migrations talks about stategies for open item data migration however I have seen nothing arouund migrating historical financial data.
    Is this because it is not recommended or technically impossible?
    Regards
    Adam Gunn

    That BAPI is used typically for straight out vanilla GL, AR, AP postings, however you still have to create the other side of the entry and then clear it.
    I need to be able to migrate full history, which means from an FI-CA  viewpoint:
    1. Migrate FI-CA posting of liability against BP/contract account.
    2. Migrate associated payments.
    3. And then clearing documents.
    Basically the requirement is to represent the historical data in the new system as if it was posted and matched off.
    Is there a technical way to do this?
    OR,
    Do you migrate the FI-CA liabilties, then the associated payments and then run clearing on the target system?
    I suspect this is almost an impossible data migration requirement as development of the extraction and load process would be extremely complex and testing would take months to cover all posting scenarios in FI-CA. However, I would be interested if anyone has attempted to do this before.

  • Data Migration from SAP r/3 to SAP R/3

    Hi all,
    What is the best method to migrate data from one verison of SAP to another verison of SAP ECC say from SAP 3.1 to SAP ECC 6.0?
    This is for all SAP modules including sd, mm, pp, fi, co master and transaction data.  I know there are number of technologies to load the data such as LSMW, IDOC, ALE, DI, etc but what is the best way to extract all data feeds to be loaded back into SAP.

  • Data migration from legacy system to SAP

    hi all,
      could you please post some docs on migration from legacy system to SAP system., also the problems faced while migration and best practices in data migration
    regards
    sridharan

    Hi ,
    I require few details from you.
    1. What ETL tool you are using, If Informatica, it already have PowerConnect to connect to SAP. So you can create source and Target Structure and also you can use RFC's to send data to R/3. Else, for other ETL tools, can you prepare RFC's or any other way to send data to R/3. let me know the tool.
    2. Does R/3 contains the master data tables? If yes, then try to use LSMW for Mass upload of data to tables.
    If your client don't want to use either of these options please elaborate, what is the case.

  • Data Migration from 11i to R12 Global - Open POs,lines, receipts & on hand upload, Is it possible to do the onhand qty upload with over riding of all receipts which uploaded against Open PO lines?

    Hi Friends,
    We are in a phase of data migration from 11i to R12 
    I was discussed with client & they wants extraction of all open POs which was generated after 01 Jan 2014 to till date in 11i.
    Condition for open POs is PO qty-received qty=>0
    critical Example for open PO is :PO no: 10 has 4 lines, 3lines full qty has been received & for 1 line partial qty(say 50 out of 100) received.
    in this case he wants in R12 uploading as PO no:10 should entered as open PO with all 4lines & 3 lines complete receipt should be done, for 4th line partial qty i.e 50 should be received.
    the question is if we upload on hand qty first, then open POs & receipts, it will increase the onhand qty in new system(mismatch of on hand qty's 11i to R12) 
    Is it possible to do the onhand qty upload with over riding of all receipts which uploaded against Open PO lines.
    Or Please advice best solution.
    Thanks & Regards
