From non-unicode to Unicode

I want to read texts in a Unicode SolMan 7 sps20  system that were already saved in a non-Unicode SolMan 3.2 system. When, i tried to open docin solar01, i have a message :"No document opened". Any idea?!

Hi Puneet,
You can convert non-unicode single code page systems to unicode for all SAP Applications and SAP NetWeaver systems. Of SAP NetWeaver you can only convert SAP NetWeaver AS (ABAP) and SAP NetWeaver BI to unicode as all other SAP NetWeaver solutions are unicode only anyway. For the SAP Applications please note that only certain releases can be converted to unicode. For SAP R/3, you have to be at release SAP R/3 Enterprise extension set 2.00 before you can convert to unicode.
The other major restriction is that most but not all databases support unicode - the major exception being Informix.
Also it should be pointed out that you can do a conversion in place and therefore do not need to do an application migration (it is simply an export with conversion and a reload into the new database).
Al the requirements and conversion steps are covered in conversion guides found on the service marketplace. http://service.sap.com/unicode@sap ->  Unicode Library -> Unicode Conversion Library
I hope this helps,
Mike.

  • Importing from an Oracle database converted from non-unicode to unicode - SSIS 2012

    Hi,
    I've some SSIS 2012 pkgs that read from a non-unicode Oracle database to a non-unicode SQL Server database.
    Few days later, the Oracle database will be converted to unicode one and so I need to update the SQL database and the SSIS pkgs. Obiously no data conversion transformations are present in the pkgs. I'd like to avoid to add more of these data conversions.
    As a first step, I'm trying to convert a SQL table to unicode format, but it isn't possible to convert non-unicode and unicode string data types.
    I did not expect to have an error about the conversion from to non-unicode Oracle database (not yet converted) to unicode SQL Server database: a such conversion doesn't lost any information content. For me, it is right to have an error by from unicode to
    non-unicode conversion.
    Any suggests to solve this issue with a minimum development effort? Many thanks

    Nope once you change datatypes to unicode you've to refresh metadata settings within SSIS packages for it to work fine. SSIS doesnt have the ability to do metadata changes at runtime. So someone has to update package metadata information to make them unicode
    to make sure it works correctly after the changes.
    What you can do is create test dbs in oracle and sql in uncode and create some modified packages based on it. Once you make changes to production dbs you need to move these modified copies also to production after making necessary config value changes like
    servername,dbname,folder paths etc and then they will continue to work normally without causing any further downtimes to the customer.

    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

    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.

  • How to export & import customer table space from non-unicode to unicode sys

    hello all,
    I have performed a migration of Single code to Unicode system. -
    (ECC 6.0 SR2)
    After completion of export & import i have noticed  there is one customer table space which is missing.
    eg - PSAPABCD
    I have checked in source system & noticed that Table space is created by customer & not maintained properly as required,
    therefore it is not either exported or imported.
    Please advice me how should i manage to export tablespace from Non - unicode system & import in Unicode.
    Is there any work out.

  • Transport request from non-unicode to unicode

    Hi
    In our BW landscape we have Development and Production server.
    Unfortunately the development server was installed on BW 3.5 with NonUnicode
    and production on BW 3.5 with UNICODE option..
    We inderstand the architecture change, but we are using only ENGLIGH language in our envn.. Do we still need to do a unicode conversion on our development server ??
    I understand that as long as I am using single language & single codepage, I will be needing a unicode conversion
    Kindy let me know your feedback..
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    We are having a running landscape of non-unicode system.
    Now, Another Landscape is being used by parent company of Unicode Systems. Now, All data, programs, objects are being configured on the parent company server. So, there is no chance to migrate non-unicode to unicode.
    But, We have to apply all packages developed on Non-unicode system to Unicode System. I have released that request and copied data file and cofile into target developement System (Unicode) then imported on this Server.
    Now, we are facing this problem (Above mentioned.). I think, there must be a solution for it conceptually.

  • Approach to converting database character set from Western European to Unicode

    Hi All,
    EBS:12.2.4 upgraded
    O/S: Red Hat Linux
    I am looking for the below information. If anyone could help provide would be great!
    INFORMATION NEEDED: Approach to converting database character set from Western European to Unicode for source systems with large data exceptions
    DETAIL: We are looking to convert Oracle EBS database character set from Western European to Unicode to support Kanji characters. Our scan results show
    both “lossy (110K approx.)” and “truncation (26K approx.)” exceptions in the database which needs to be fixed before the database is converted to Unicode.
    Oracle Support has suggested to fix all open and closed transactions in the source Production instance using forms and scripts.
    We’re looking for information/creative approaches  who have performed similar exercises without having to manipulate data in the source instance.
    Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks for yourn time!
    Regards,

    There are two aspects here:
    1. Why do you have such large number of lossy characters? Is this data coming from some very old eBS release, i.e. from before the times of the Java applet interface to Oracle Forms?  Have you analyzed the nature of this lossy data?
    2. There is no easy way around truncation issues as you cannot modify eBS metadata (make columns wider). You must shorten or remove the data manually through the documented eBS interfaces. eBS does not support direct manipulation of data in the database due to complex consistency rules enforced by the application itself (e.g. forms).
    Thanks,
