Native sql not populating correct data in ECC6.0 unicode system

Hi,
I am working in an upgrade upgrade project from 4.6c to ECC6.0.
4.6c is non-unicode system. ECC6 is Unicode system.
I am facing Native SQL problem in custom developed programe in ECC6.That means programe reading the data from oracle datbase and stored into internal table.
But data not stored as normal character format that means its stored as different character format.
I am suspecting this is due to unicode system. IF that is issue then please provide
what syntax I have to use for Native SQL statment in unicode system.
I have provided the code which we are using in programe.
data:
 i_locn type table of t_locn,
 v_locn like line of i_locn.
field-symbols:
 <f_005t> type t_005t.
Get existing EIS_VIDEO_LOCN_CONV records
EXEC SQL.
 OPEN C FOR
 SELECT EIS_LOCN
 FROM VIDADMIN.EIS_VIDEO_LOCN_CONV
ENDEXEC.
do.
 EXEC SQL.
 FETCH NEXT C
 INTO :V_LOCN-EIS_LOCN
 ENDEXEC.
 if sy-subrc ne 0.
 exit.
 endif.
 append v_locn to i_locn.
enddo.
EXEC SQL.
 CLOSE C
ENDEXEC.
sort i_locn.
I am facing the problem in i_locn internal table. Please give me your input to solve this issue.

Hi,
We have resolved this issue with BASIS team help.
We modified the data charcater set as UTF8 in Oracle data base in unicode system ECC6.0 then the programme returns the
exact character format

Peoplesoft convert Oracle non-unicode database to unicode database

I am following doc 1437384.1 to convert a Peoplesoft database from non-unicode database to unicode database
I use the following export statement (as user PS)
SET NO TRACE;
SET OUTPUT output_file.dat;
SET NO DATA;
EXPORT *;
And the following import statement (as user sysadm)
SET NO TRACE;
SET NO DATA;
SET INPUT output_file;
SET LOG log_file;
SET UNICODE ON;
SET STATISTICS OFF;
SET ENABLED_DATATYPE 9.0;
IMPORT *;
Before I do the datapump import, I am comparing the objects
SQL> select object_type, count(*) from dba_objects where owner = 'SYSADM' group by object_type order by 1 asc;
OBJECT_TYPE COUNT(*)
INDEX 33797
LOB 2775
TABLE 28829
TRIGGER 9
VIEW 21208
on oracsc63 (targetdb):
SQL> select object_type, count(*) from dba_objects where owner = 'SYSADM' group by object_type order by 1 asc;
OBJECT_TYPE COUNT(*)
INDEX 23748
LOB 2170
TABLE 19727
I don't have the same number of object. When I do the import this means that around 10000 tables will not have the UTF-8 format.
Any ideas how I can solve this? How has experience with this peoplesoft conversions?

Hello Jacques,
please check sapnote #808505 (Secondary connection to Oracle DB w/ different character set).

Importing non-unicode data into unicode 10gR2 database

Hi:
I will have to import non-unicode data into unicode 10gR2 database. The systems the data is coming from are the following: CODA, Timberline, COMMS, CMS, LIMS. These are all RDBMS, sql-enabled systems. We are talking about pretty big amounts of data (a couple hundred GB combined).
Did anybody go through a similar exersize?
I know I'll have to setup nls_length_semantics to CHAR.
What other recommendations could you guys give?
TIA,
Greg

I think "nls_length_semantics" isn't mandatory at this point, and you must extract a little quantity of information from every source and do some probes injecting them into the Oracle10g database.

Can't run non-UNICODE-DbSl against UNICODE database

Hi everyone. I get this error during the update of Solution Manager 7.1 SPS4 (dual stack) to SPS10. It is a green install. This happens during the
phase PREP_EXTRACT/PREIMP! Of the ABAP stack. Step 5.2. I do not see a lot of people with this problem, so I assume it is something I am doing wrong, as it is my first time using the tool SUM.
Details of the system:
Solution Manager 7.1 SPS4
Windows 2008 R2 64 bit
Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 64 bit SP1
Central installation type with all components on
the same host
Kernel level 600
Here is what I have done so far:
Downloaded the media as described in the installation
guide.
Worked my way through the install using the
Software Provision Manager 1.0
Updated the Kernel from level 401 to 600, by
copying the files from the download folder to the F:\usr\sap\SM1\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64
folder. This is the folder that is assigned to the DIR_CT_RUN parameter.
I start the STARTUP.BAT file in the SUM folder.
I then start the SUM GUI and run through the
steps and in step 3 I map the Stack configuration file (XML) to one listed in
the folder “51047130\DATA” called “SPS10_stack.xml”
Then I
get to 5.2 where the system stops with this error:
Severe error(s) occurred in phase PREP_EXTRACT/PREIMP!
Last error code set: Single errors (code <= 8) found in logfile 'PREIMP.ELG'

anyone please help?

As per error, you have used wrong kernel. Please make sure that you use unicode kernel as your system is also unicode.

Data extraction from Non-Unicode ECC6 to Unicode SAP BI system

Hi,
We have an existing non-unicode ECC6 system. Currently we are installing SAP BI unicode system. Can anyone tell me are there any issues in data extraction for SAP BI from a non-unicode ECC6 system to an Unicode SAP BI system ?
Please also note that our data consists of Asian (korean, Japanese & Chinese) fonts.
Regards,
Anirban

Hi Des Gallagher,
Thank you for your reply.
I have gone through the notes suggested by you, but they suggest issues related to BW 3.x versions. We are currently on SAP_BW 700 - SP16. Also, among other notes i found note 510882 which might be helpful for custom developments.
But i am still wondering whether we are going to face major issues related to data extraction from non-unicode ECC6 system to unicode SAP_BW 700 system.
Incase you have any further details, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

IV_OFFSET is the position from the C field will be started to be read (should be 0) and EV_OFFSET is the length to which the data is going to be fetched. The Following code could be useful ---
w_len = STRLEN( p_data ).
CALL FUNCTION 'OIF_CONVERT_CHAR_TO_STRUCTURE'
EXPORTING
 iv_string = p_data
 iv_structure_name = 'VBAK'
* iv_offset = w_len
IMPORTING
 ev_structure = wa_vbak
 ev_offset = w_len

 OTHERS = 2.

Upgrade to ECC6 and Unicode: Passing HTML

We are experiencing new issues related output on our Web page URL.
Iu2019d like to convert the internal text table, t_html (now in Unicode-I assume utf-16), to contain the old hex values(I assume utf-8), before the Unicode upgrade. Or, convert the text table from utf-16 to utf-8.
First, and most importantu2026.Is this possible?
If so, I assume these are the steps I need to do, and am asking for suggestions::
step 1) Transform internal table t_html to hex (so I can covert it from utf-16 to utf-8?)
step 2) Convert the utf-16 hex values (Unicode) to utf-8 (old hex, non-unicode).
step 3) Transform the converted t_html back to text so I can pass it out in its usual fashion.
What would be the easiest approach (or not easiest approach, if necessary) to do this?
I am open to any and all suggestions, this has been a struggleu2026.Thank-You

You mean hex stored as string (0-F)?

Hi,
I have a requirement to download R3 tables data to Msaccess but i am a basis guy with lilmited abap knowledge. I dont have access to any abaper to get the program written. Could any one of you provide sample program where i can give tablename in parameter list along with where condition and downloads data to MS access.
I transfered structure to MSAccess using RIACCESS report wrote a sample report and transfered data for kna1 table using function module 'TABLE_EXPORT_TO_MSACCESS' but i failed to make it work for any table. I would be very happy if some one provide program where i can provide table name, MSACCESS location and where condition as input so that program downloads data to specified MSACCESS database.

How to setup the connection between non-unicode client and unicode server?

hi.
we played the program in 4.6x that call a data from unicode server (ECC6.0) to non-unicode server. ( not played in the unicode server.)
When a program ended that English Character was normal, but Korean Chinease... was unknown text.
I think conversion from unicode to non-unicode is a main reason.
General Notes are issued for the unicode side rfc connection configuration.
but, i want to know how to setup into the non-unicode system to interface with unicode system.
I hope your great answer.

Hi,
For taht you have to deploy korean and chinese langauges seprately on non unicode system.Then try to connect to the unicode system.It will work for you.

Extraction of Unicode data from Unicode R/3 to NON Unicode BW

Hello experts!
We want to extract data from a unicode source system into a non-unicode BW. Now we got problems with japanese signs (kanji). Our plan was to check against RSKC and delete the the unicode texts this way. This is OK for our people as a workaround.
But we even doesn't get our data in the PSA. Getting here some conversion errors.
Is there a way to handle this. The only solution we now at the moment is to delete possible problematic values over extractor customer exit. But if there would be a BW-side solution it would be better.
Switching the BW to Unicode is no topic at the moment.
Best regards,
Peter

Hello Siggi!
Thank you for this hint. I had seen this document before but being not sure how this can help. I will look on this tomorrow again and talk to our sap basis.
My perfomance issue is still open. I tried different things but nothing shows a real change for the better. So I opened now a sap message. Let's see what it will bring.
Oh, we produce no monitor entries by the way.
What is a little bit crazy is that in SM50 it is always read on DIM6 while we have a DIM7 which has about 40 percent compared to the now 15 percent of DIM6. Very bad design but also depends on the kind of data in this case.
Best regards,
Peter

Encoding Problem: non-Unicode Data to Unicode format of XI

Hi SDN,
I have a JDBC sender to SAP BW scenario. The database is MS SQL server.

Please help how should i get over this code page errors. By installing this code page on XI server help?

There is no such global setting, this is b/c your source has Unicode I trust, and the only one other thing to try would be this:

Hi experts,
I'm getting troubles while trying to make a New Data Connection to R3 from Adobe LiveCycle Designer. The error say's "Cannot proccess unicode RFC in non-unicode system (for details see note 875767#)".
I know R3 was configured non-unicode and Adobe is unicode, but non of them let me change this property even in Adobe options or in RFC options. How can I solve this problem without changing unicode R3 kernel configuration?
Thanks
