Cannot locate Non-Unicode SAP RFCSDK 6.20

Hi,
I downloaded saprfc-1.4.1-5.2.2 and Installed PHP 5.2.2, I then went to download on-Unicode SAP RFCSDK 6.20 for my platform (Windows XP, or I can use 2000/2003 server 32bit if I need to)
So I went to download SAP RFC SDK but its not there ?!?
Support Packages and Patches - My Company's Application Components- SAP WEB AS - SAP WEB AS 6.20 - SAP RFC SDK>) "No Data Available"
Under 6.40 I can see some exist but only for IA64 etc and the saprfc php connector notes tell me to use 6.20. Did anybody else have this problem? Can somebody do me a favour and e-mail me this file?
Many thanks
Rob

Hi Again,
I have SAP GUI 6.40 installed on my PC and so it seems I did not need the SDK, its all working now;o)
Now that testing has worked I am now planning on doing this from a Linux box without the GUI installed so will I now need the SDK? Where can it be obtained from?
Many thanks
Rob

SIK Transport files and None unicode SAP system

Dear all,
I have a question about SIK Transport files.
As you know, when we install BOE SIK,we need transport some files into SAP system.
There is a TXT file for describing how to use SIK transport files in SAP system.
I found that there is no detail about none unicode SAP system in this TXT file.
All of them is about unicode.
If your SAP system is running on a BASIS system earlier than 6.20, you must use the files listed below:
(These files are ANSI.)
Open SQL Connectivity transport (K900084.r22 and R900084.r22)
Info Set Connectivity transport (K900085.r22 and R900085.r22)
Row-level Security Definition transport (K900086.r22 and R900086.r22)
Cluster Definition transport (K900093.r22 and R900093.r22)
Authentication Helpers transport (K900088.r22 and R900088.r22)
If your SAP system is running on a 6.20 BASIS system or later, you must use the files listed below:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
Open SQL Connectivity transport (K900574.r21 and R900574.r21)
Info Set Connectivity transport (K900575.r21 and R900575.r21)
Row-level Security Definition transport (K900576.r21 and R900576.r21)
Cluster Definition transport (K900585.r21 and R900585.r21)
Authentication Helpers transport (K900578.r21 and R900578.r21)
The following files must be used on an SAP BW system:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
If our SAP BASIS system is beyond 6.20,but iit is not unicode system.
Could we use these transport files to none unicode SAP system ?
Thanks!
Wayne

Hi Wayne,
the text and the installation guide is clearly advising based on the version of your underlying BASIS system and differentiates 620 or 640 and higher.
so based on the fact that you system is a BI 7 system you are in the category of a 640 (or higher) basis system and therefore you have to use the Unicode ENABLED transports.

Can we install XI3.0 SR1 on a NON-UNICODE SAP ABAP + Java System

Hello,
I am trying to install XI 3.0 SR1 but i don't have an UNICODE SAP ABAP + Java System. So my question is, that is it possible to install XI on a NON-UNICODE SAP ABAP + JAVA Syatem?

Xi 3.0 is an non unicode system, so i guess you can start installing the Xi3.0.....
might be helpfull

How to read a Unicode text file in a non-unicode SAP system

I'm currently has a text file which is saved as UTF-8 format. And inside this file has Thai characters.
However, my SAP system is a non-unicode system.
When I use the code
open dataset DSN for output in TEXT MODE encoding UTF-8
the thai characters become some funny characters.
How can I solve this in the ABAP program without changing the system from non-unicode to unicode system?

Hi Eswar,
   How can I check whether the code page for THAI already installed or not in SAP system?
   Here is the code I use to test to read a file that saved as UTF-8.
DATA: l_filepath         TYPE string.
DATA : BEGIN OF l_filepath_str OCCURS 0,
             comm(1000) TYPE c,
           END OF l_filepath_str.
DATA: l_datasetsucc LIKE rlgrap-filename.
l_filepath = '/BAAC/Files/APP_.txt'.
OPEN DATASET l_filepath FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
DO.
    CLEAR l_filepath_str.
    READ DATASET l_filepath INTO l_filepath_str.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      APPEND l_filepath_str.
    ELSE.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ELSE.
WRITE:/ 'Error reading from file:', sy-subrc.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET l_filepath.
LOOP AT l_filepath_str.
WRITE: / l_filepath_str-comm.
ENDLOOP.
    It returns me a runtime error. Any idea?

How to create a non-unicode transport on a unicode system?

Folks,
Occassionally, I have to create transports for some of the functions from our unicode-based SAP system. The created transports by default are unicode and thus cannot be installed on a non-unicode SAP client. Is there a way to create non-unicode transport from a unicode SAP system?
Note that the transport contains only the code (function modules). There is no data.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Peter

Pdf conversion from a non unicode system to a unicode system

Hi,
I have a BSP application that runs on a unicode system which retrieves data to be output in pdf from a non unicode sap system.
We get the data from the non unicode system through a RFC call and store data in table otfdata type itcoo, then we perform the conversion through the following:
perform pdfcnv_convertotf in program saplstxw
tables otfdata
pdf
using
'T'
archive_index
1
'T'
pdf_bytecount
app_tot_xstring
and then perform the hex conversion, but the printout is full of # chars. The good characters are followed by the # char. It looks like the unicode conversion is not good.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Donatella

Welcome to SDN
check out this weblog where Thomas Jung explains unicode conversion for excel, the same thing could be applied in your case as well

Truncated record in OPEN DATASET ENCODING NON-UNICODE

Hi,
I have to read a Unicode created file into a non-unicode SAP System, version 4.7.
When I make the OPEN DATASET using ENCODING UTF-8 y get a CONVT_CODEPAGE dump. That´s odd cause my system is non-unicode. I don´t wanna use IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS attribute, the output will be corrupt.
But when I use ENCODING NON-UNICODE or ENCODING DEFAULT the READ DATASET mysteriously truncate the record which try to read from real 401 characters to 361 characters. Variable is string.
I can see full records through AL11.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Pablo.

Hi,
Try using:
open dataset filename in text mode encoding default for input
ignoring conversion errors.
As said in AL11 its coming so the above code is used for that.
Hope this will surely help you !!!

Problem publishing database contents from non-unicode to unicode system

Hello everyone!
We just set up a new SAP WAS based on Netweaver 2004 as a unicode system. Out problem now is that we have a content management system on our non-unicode system and that we are publishing the contents via rfc to the WAS unicode system to display the contents online. the contents are stored in our own database tables.
The problem thereby is that many texts pasted from microsoft word contain special characters like bullets, long minus or low-9 quotation marks which are not correctly displayed in the unicode system / on the website. we already found out that it has something to do with the codepage. the sap notes say we should use 1160 instead of 1100 and that the transaction SPUMG would be helpful. but we are not able to select any tables there.
so now we do not know what to do exactly. do we have to change something in our non-unicode system or do we have to conversion in our unicode system. and what happends if content containing special microsoft word characters is published after the spumg conversion? do we have to to this frequently?
We would be glad if anyone could help.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Martin,
thanks for your quick answer.
You got me right. We have a local non-Unicode SAP HCM Netweaver 2004 system running a self-developed web based content management system / wiki. The texts entered in the bsp application are stored in a string field in our database table. Actually we publish the contents to a WAS 6.20 non-Unicode system with the same database tables to provide the content via BSP for the public. Everything is working fine including the special characters.
Now we want to replace the WAS 6.20 non-Unicode system by a new WAS 7.0/2004 Unicode system. But when publishing the contents via the same RFC function module to the new system the special characters seem to be damaged. We are not able to replace them with abap commands and when they are displayed on the website we only see "boxes".
If I get you right we have to run SPUMG on our nw 2004 non-unicode productive hcm system, right? but isn't there a danger to damage existing contents?
Best regards,
Stefan

Regarding non-unicode to unicode conversion in mapping

In our project we have Pi system which is installed as unicode system.
But the SAP systems at the sender side is unicode and most of them are non-unicode systems.
We have a doubt regarding the challenges that we need to face in PI mapping with reference to unicode and non unicode conversion.
Is it possible for us to Map the RFCs of non-unicode SAP system at sender side with the help of graphical mapping?
Any conversion we need to do?
Thanks & Regards,
sasi

Thanks a lot for your replys.
In our customer lanscape they have following SAP R/3 vsesions 4.0B,4.5B.4.6B,4.6C,ECC 5.0,ECC 6.0
so how this unicode , non unicode settings varies with respect to versions?
Is it resembles same with respect to all the version?
Thanks & Regards,

Unicode vs non-unicode

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell me what is the differenece between unicode and non-unicode SAP systems. I heard that all the new versions are unicode. What is the difference, purpose and significance of these?
Thanks
Cyrus

Hi Cyrus,
You are correct that all new SAP Applications and SAP NetWeaver technology will only be available based on unicode (example: SAP NetWeaver MDM, SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer). Unicode code pages enable a system to store and process almost every character symbol in the world.
This means that the applications run on and can process characters from a unicode code page as opposed to a single character set code page like Latin 1 (restricted to only western European Language characters). The Database and it's schemas are able to store all the unicode characters.
The Non-Unicode Single code page systems are supported by SAP for older applications for historical reasons - unicode was not available when they were released. These systems are restricted to only processing characters from their specific code page. This means their can be restrictions if they need to support language combinations that span multiple code pages - basically it is not possible. In addition some languages are not fully available at all for single code page systems like Thai. In addition the Euro symbol is not available.
Unicode is the future for all applications - SAP or otherwise. The significance at the moment is where customers who needs to convert to unicode to support additional business requirements like additional languages. Converting a system, although a simple process is not a trivial process in terms of time and resources.
For additional info check out the following sites:

I hope this helps,
Mike.

Unicode or non-unicode RFCSDK

Has someone experience with connecting an unicode SAP-system with a non-unicode subsystem? Which version of the rfcsdk do I need to compile the subsystem, unicode or non-unicode?

Even though this post is really old, I thought I'd reply for the benefit of others.
Your best bet is to use the unicode version of RFC SDK. Then, irrespective of whether the SAP system is unicode or non-unicode, you only need to send unicode bytes. the SDK will take care of the conversion to the code page of the SAP system.

Gettin data from SAP R/3 4.7 unicode sys to SAP ERP non-unicode sys via RFC

We are trying to get data from SAP R/3 4.7 unicode sys to SAP ERP non-unicode sys via RFC. We are reading field from the database via FM and this field got converted by SAP standard Method (CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES=>fill_CONTAINER_C) from structure. When reading this field from ERP sys and converted back to structure using SAP standard Method the value is un-accurate, and different(blank) giving values.
How, if the data originally was a char or numeric it works fine, but not for decimal.
best regards,
Abu-Qaht

I have a range fields with different type of ranges, am saving these to the database by converting them to a string via the same method. I got the same problem so I tried to convert the string to xstring using function SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING, before send it to the other system, but the function raised an exception: CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE

FOI Servlet non-unicode characters cannot be processed

Hello,
I'm using Oracle MapViewer 10.1.3.1 quickstart kit to test some map features
my database is in CL8MSWIN1251 charset
I made a simple map application to display some data using JavaScript API
when I define a theme based FOI layer in the map and the predefined theme has some non-Unicode characters in the labeling or in hidden info fields I get the folowing error:
Cannot process the following response from FOI server:
{"foiarray":[{"id":"AAARiqAAEAAAzFgAAA","name":"\u422\u414","gtype":"2001","imgurl":"http://localhost:8888/mapviewer/images/foi/p_16_13_MVDEMO_M.IMAGE131_BW.png","x":"50.0","y":"50.0","width":"16","height":"13","attrs":["987654321","100"]}],"attrnames":["BBB","Osn"]}
As you can see "\u422\u414" shoud be "\u0422\u0414" otherwise JavaScript cannot display characters in the right way. I think FOIServlet is the problem here.
Anyone has the same problems or has a solution for this problem pls

require that I predefine the invalid charactersThis isn't hard to do and it isn't subject to change. The XML recommendation tells you here exactly what characters are valid in XML documents.
However if your problems extend to the sort of case where users paste code including the "&" character into a text node without escaping it properly, or they drop in MS Word "smart quotes" in the incorrect encoding, then I think you'll just have to face up to the fact that allowing naive users to generate uncontrolled wannabe-XML documents is not really a viable idea.
