Character set table for unicode conversion

Experts,
If one identifies a special character that fails during code page conversion (CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE), can this character then be added into a table that will recongnize it and not fail moving forward? If so, how to go about it?
Any help is appreciated.

Note this
Unicode Error : In the Unicode context, TRANSLATE... CODEPAGE/NUMBER FORMAT is not allowed.

  • How to estimate the time needed for unicode conversion

    Experts:
    I am going to perform an upgrade from 46C (non-unicode) to ECC6/EHP4.
    In the action plan , it's hard to estimate the time needed for unicode conversion.
    We do not have a sandbox to benchmark that time.
    Could you please help share your experience here?
    Thanks!!

    Hi,
    usually it is very hard to estimate a proper time.
    There are some hints to get a rough feeling (SAP note 857081 and [SMP link|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000380759&_OBJECT=011000358700001279022010E] ).
    However please note that SAP highly recommends to do a Sandbox conversion - otherwise there is a high risk that the PRD conversion will take (much) longer than expected.

  • Documentation or guide for DB host to run SAPInst for Unicode Conversion

    Hi,
    In a distributed <b>(CI and DB installed on separate host)</b> SAP NW 7.0 ABAP+JAVA system Usage Type MI , I run SAPInst to export DB for Unicode conversion in DB host. But SAPInst failed to locate the java tools that I found them in the \usr\sap\<SID>\sys\globlal folder <b><u>in CI host only</u></b>.
    Any documentation or guide with detail on the preparation of tool or files in a standalone DB host prior to execute System Copy -> Export DB with SAPInst.
    Regards,

    Thanks Deepak, I'm trying to understand how a 220GB+ system can be compressed to 7GB.  I can understand some shrinkage because of temp space and indexes, but that seems pretty extreme.  I would have expected 70-90GB.  Even 10% is 3x what I have.
    The problem I am having is with sapinst.  When I run the Export steps, all I am left with is exactly what you list.  Just the LABEL, and the empty DATA and DB dir trees.  sapinst finishes, says it was sucessful, but then when I fire up MIGMON to actually start the export, it is looking for DDLORA.TPL, and the EXT and STR files.  Based on what I am reading, sapinst is supposed to create those (and I see them being generated during the PREP phase), but if I don't move things manually, export_monitor.sh just sees empty directories.
    Let's do it a different way.  Once you have completed running the sapinst export steps, what files are in the <export dir> that MIGMON is supposed to pick up and use?

  • Error during export of ECC 6.0 system for unicode conversion

    We have upgraded a 4.7 system to ECC 6.0 running on MSSQL 2000.  We have the latest r3load, and are using the Netweaver 7.0 sapinst to perform the system copy (export) to convert to unicode.  Our goal is an exported system which we can use on a clean install once we have de-installed SAP and SQL 2000 and installed MSSQL 2005.
    When running the export, the r3szchk finishes and then the next phase runs.  But it gets almost all errors (so we are stopping the export).
    The export_monitor.log is shown below, and also an example of one of the table logs shown here as well.  but its almost as if every table hits the same problem, BSIS, MSEG, EDIDS etc.....
    If you look at the ACCTIT.log, it looks like the SQL/stored preocedure error is as follows, but not sure what this means:

    Happy upgrading!
    Our upgrade from 4.7 to ERP 6.0 was one of the smoothest I've made.

  • Wrong text in ADRC and LFA1 table after Unicode conversion

    Hello,
    We are doing MDMP to Unicode on SAP 4.7 system.
    In post unicode activities,we had corrected the garbage characters in
    table ADRC
    by converting to target langauage ZH using SUMG t-code.
    Condition used for addind table ADRC in SUMG is LANGU ='1' and
    LANGU_CREA = 'EN'
    But after converting and saving the data,most of the records have
    incorrect character in word.
    and text field of search term/company name/city in table LFA1 are also
    wrong in correspond field in table ADRC.
    Thanks
    Harshavardhan

    Hi Harshavardhan,
    Assumption: You have Chinese entries in table ADRC with ADRC-LANGU_CREA = EN
    Now you have to distinguish two problems:
    1) Chinese texts are stored in ADRC fields, which are NOT used for search help texts (most of the fields - e.g. ADRC-NAME1):
    These texts can be handled in two ways:
    a) Change LANGU_CREA = EN to LANGU_CREA = ZH for these entries (e.g. where ADRC-COUNTRY = CN) before the Unicode conversion (by the way, I would not use ADRC-LANGU, since this is the communication language, which does not necessarily comply with the code page of the entry).
    This needs to be done in a similar way as shown in z-reports described in  SAP Note 634839 ( although this specific fool-the-system case is not covered there - you have to adapt those examples)
    b) Use SUMG to repair the entries using language ZH (as you already did)  
    My favourite would be a), as this can be done before the conversion (Note that SUMG ineeds to be executed during downtime !)
    2) Chinese texts are stored in ADRC fields, which are used for search help texts (e.g. ADRC-MC_NAME1):
    a) If these entries were inserted / changed with logon language ZH, then point 1) applies
    b) If users logged on with logon language EN and created the entries, then most of these texts are destroyed already in Non-Unicode system. Then there is no automatic repair possible (at least point 1 does not work). Here my statement from before is valid:
    Those entries need to be generated again - e.g. if you do a dummy change on the name.
    According to my knowledge, this is a manual effort (either before or after the conversion) - but maybe it can be automized ...

  • Some character display incorrect after unicode conversion

    Dear Experts,
    Currently we upgrade our SAP system from 4.6B NU to ECC6.0 UN.
    in 4.6B system we had implemented Simple Chinese and French language package to the system. after upgrade to ECC6.0 no-unicode system. we perform a MDMP unicode conversion.currently system running with ECC6.0 unicode interface with language 1EFD. SUMG releated tasks had been finished. Chinese and French language checked OK in ECC6 UN system.
    Our issue is. in the past time. some Spanish local end user typing some spanish character in some master date field when they login in 4.6B GUI choice english as login language.these kind of spanish characters could not display correct in current unicode environment.
    could you please given us some suggestion for how to fix this issue.
    I also sent this message in the Netweaver administrator forums with below links.
    Spanish display incorrect after unicode conversion

    Hello,
    I doubt that the data shown by you in the link was caused by Spanish users logged on in EN.
    I think this was rather caused by utf-8 data uploaded into the Non-Unicode system.
    In this case, you need to repair the according texts manually, I do not know any automatic repair.

  • How to exp/imp both diff character set tables between in DB1 and DB2?

    In the Solaris 2.7 ,the oracle 8i DB1 has NLS_CHARACTERSET
    ZHS16CGB231280 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET ZHS16CGB231280
    character set.
    In other linux7.2 system ,the oracle 8i DB2 is install into the
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET US7ASCII and NLS_CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
    character set.
    The tables contents of DB1 have some chinese. I want to exp/imp
    tables of DB1 into DB2 . But the chinese can't correct display
    in the SQLWheet tools. How do the Exp/Imp operation ? ples help
    me . thanks .

    The supported way to store GB231280-encoded characters is using a ZHS16CGB231280 database or a database created using a superset of GB231280 ,such as UTF8 .Can you not upgrade your target database from US7ASCII to ZHS16CGB231280 ?
    With US7ASCII and NLS_LANG set to US7ASCII , you are using the garbage in garbage out (GIGO) approach. This may seem to work but there are many hidden problems :-
    1. Invalid SQL String Function behaviours - LENGTH ( ) , SUBSTR ( ) , INSTR ( )
    2. Data can be corrupted when data is loaded into another database. e.g. EXP / IMP , Dblinks
    3. Communication with other clients will generate incorrect results. e.g. other Oracle products - Oracle Text, Forms. , Java , HTML etc.
    4. Linguistic sorts not available
    5. Query using the standard WHERE clause may return incorrect results ..
    6. Extra coding overhead in handling character conversions manually.
    I recommend you to check out the FAQ and the DB Character set migration guide on the Globalization Support forum on OTN.

  • How to go for Unicode conversion?

    Hi All,
    Presently i'm upgrading my SAP 4.7 system (6.2 WAS) in to ERP 2004 (6.40 WAS), which is an non-unicode upgrade.
    Now should i first complete Unicode conversion or apply the latest SP stack.
    Also please tell me how this Support pack will affect me in Unicode conversion?
    Order of this steps will be really helpful for smooth flow of work
    Thanks in Advance

    If you have already completed your upgrade, the best practice would be to install the SP stack first in order to have the latest updates available for the unicode migration tools.  Then proceed with the unicode migration.  There are slight differences in the process between support packages where you may have to create a migration program manually in an older support package and the very same migration program is included in the later support package.  SAP publishes separate unicode migration guides, based on the support package level, due to these updates.
