How to Copy a Non-unicode ECC 6.0 SR3 to WIN2008 and MSSQL2008

Good morning,
how can I make a homogeneous system copy of my NON-UNICODE ECC 6.0 (Nw 7.0 SR3) to a new machine running Windows Server 2008 and MSSQL 2008?
According to OSS note 1152240 to install SR3 on SQL2008 I have to generate and use a "SR3 modified installation master DVD".
My problem is that SR3 installation disk doesn't allow non-unicode installations.
Can I use SR2 installation disk, and modify it the some way I should do with SR3 installation disk?
Note 1054740 says "SAP products prior to NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 are not supported on Windows Server 2008", but I would
not run the SR2 system, just perform the installation and copy my "SR3 database" back. This should not be a problem as the
diference between SR2 and SR3 is at support package level. Is this correct?
Can the SR2 installation disk be changed in the some way of the SR3 disk, as described on note 1152240, and be used with
SQL2008?
Is there any way to move non-unicode ECC 6.0 to WIN2008 + SQL2008?
Thank you
Best regards

Hi,
If you are copying you can create a NON Unicode system, The installation for NEW systems is only permited for Unicode but if you are using SAPInst for copying your system, then it will ask if you are copying an Unicode system or not and will left it Non Unicode in the Target. So you could copy your system with no problem I´m pretty sure about this because we are running some copies (8 systems) and we have non unicode systems and we are using SR3 master DVD.
Just do the chages to the master DVD so you could use it on Win2008
Have a nice day.

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.

Peter

Or more in general, how to sync the libraies and vaults without one designated master? I have the same setup as you, Desktop (iMac G5), Laptop (MBpro) and a firewire backup device connected to the G5.
How should one go about to keep all the libraries synchronized? If I change something on the MBpro or on the G5 I want to copy the changes to the other computer as well. If I delete stuff on one machine it should go from the other as well. Under Unix one could use tools like CVS to do this, but it would cost quite a bit of disk space, since that software doesn't know about binary files.

Upgrade 4.6C to ECC 6.0; Unicode - non-Unicode -- Unicode

Hi,
My client has a R/3 4.6c UNICODE, he wants to upgrade to ECC6.0 UNICODE.
According to a SAP document, to upgrade, I upgrade directly to ECC 6.0 NON_UNICODE then convert the system to ECC 6.0 UNICODE.
I'm wonder why Unicode -> non-Unicode --> Unicode.
Regards,
Toan Do

"4.6C is not a unicode system ,ecc6.0 is an unicode system."
Actually, ECC 6.0 only has to be unicode if you are a new installation. If you are upgrading from a non-unicode system, you can upgrade to a non-unicode ECC 6.0 system, this is fully supported by SAP.
However, it is recommended that you perform the upgrade and unicode conversion at the same time. SAP is going to force us to unicod some day anyway.
We have just completed a technical upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6 non-unicode, and now we are looking at a unicode conversion project. It would have added time to the original upgrade project, but it would have been worth it.

Open dataset in UTF8. Problems between Unicode and non Unicode

Hello,
I am currently testing the file transfer between unicode an non unicode systems.
I transfered some japanese KNA1 data from non unicode system (Mandt,Name1, Name2,City) to a file with this option:
set local language pi_langu.
open dataset pe_file in text mode encoding utf-8 for output with byte-order mark.
Now I want to read the file from a unicode system. The code looks like this:
open dataset file in text mode encoding utf-8 for input skipping byte-order mark.
The characters look fine but they are shifted. name1 is correct but now parts of the city characters are in name2....
If I open the file in a non unicode system with the same coding the data is ok again!
Is there a problem with spaces between unicode an non-unicode?!

Hello again,
after implementing and testing this method, we saw that the conversion is always taken place in the unicode system.
For examble: we have a char(35) field in mdmp with several japanese signs..as soon as we transfer the data into the file and have a look at it the binary data the field is only 28 chars long. several spaces are missing...now if we open the file in our unicode system using the mentioned class the size is gaining to 35 characters
on the other hand if we export data from unicode system using this method the size is shrinking from 35 chars to 28 so the mdmp system can interprete the data.
as soon as all systems are on unicode this method is obselete/wrong because we don't want to cut off/add the spaces..it's not needed anymore..
the better way would be to create a "real" UTF-8 file in our MDMP system. The question is, is there a method to add somehow the missing spaces in the mdmp system?
so it works something like thtat:
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8 WITH BYTE-ORDER MARK.
"MDMP (with ECC 6.0 by the way)
if charsize = 1.
*add missing spaces to the structure
*transfer strucutre to file
*UNICODE
else.
*just transfer struc to file -> no conversion needed anymore
endif.
I thought mybe somehow this could work with the class CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE. But until now I had no luck...
Normally I would think that if I'am creating a UTF-8 file this work is done automatically on the transfer command

How to copy songs that's already in the ipod into the computer hard disk?

I had some "music" mp3 files, so I put them into my ipod by using iTune. I pick a mp3 file and I drop it into the "MUSIC" section under the "iPOD" section, in iTune. After this, I didn't make any backup, for exemple, place them into the iTUNE's "MUSIC LIBARY" or copy them, place them into a file and store them into the computer's hard disk, because I only had one computer and I don't want to make to much spaces into the computer's hard disk, because the computer's hard disk did not have alot of memories available to use, it's almost fully loaded. Then I discovered that "I could't copy the existence files from the iPod and put them into the computer's hard disk", and I found this is ridiculous. So... can someone please telle me "how to copy or take the mp3 files out from the iPod and place theme into the computer's hard disk?"

So... can someone please telle me "how to copy or take the mp3 files out from the iPod and place theme into the computer's hard disk?"
To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

Java WAS System Copy for non-SR1 Systems

Hi,
I found the document describing the Java WAS system
copy for NW 2004SR1.
However, has anybody successfully copied a Java
WAS system (Especially if the SID was
changed) which was not SR1?
I understand how to copy the datafiles, recreate the
control files, adapt the default and instance
profiles, etc..
However, I am not sure which other parameters,
XML files, or database entries need to be changed.
This is for a development system (I wouldn't do this
for a production system).
Any information from somebody who succeeded to do
this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Exactly how to copy/paste audio?

I see in the manuals and lessons that you can copy audio from a video clip and use it elsewhere.
What I'm stuck on is EXACTLY how you copy audio (without the video it is with). I have "extracted" the audio in the clip from which I want to take the audio and identified which bit of it I want.
I see from the manual how to copy video, by placing cursor just under the play head and dragging. But this brings with it the video, so when I paste I get the audio I want together with the unwanted video which barges out of the way the clip into whcih I want to drop the audio only.
I am sure I'm missing something simple, but I can ony find guidance on copy video, not audio, althought he lessons lightly say you can do it, they don't say how.
Anyone can help?
TIA
Martin

Answered my own question.
You select by positioning the "audio playhead" in the audio clip in question, dragging it and pressing Coomand-C to copy the audio clip. (I'm guessing this is obvious to Mac users but it's not clear to this pc refugee how to "select" - in fact it's taken days to get to the bottom of this.
Then position the playhead where you want the audio clip and Edit-Paste, then trim teh excess to get the bits you don't want.
Actually less intuitive and user friendly than I would have expected, but well, there is it.

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.

System copy : As Java : Non-unicode kernel Option not available

Dear All,
we are performing AS Java system copy to create a new system , same SID , same HOST and same Configuration except OS is upgraded.
Susle Linux OS - 11 SP3
As Java Nw 701
kernel version -
NW701 - Kernel 721_Ext - Non_unicode - 201 patch level
We have successfully completed export and now we are importing the same export in new server,now while performing taget installation we are not getting option to install NON UNICODE kernel , except it is only asking for UC Kernel 7.20/7.21.
Current version of system is non-unicode and we will like to keep it that way.
May I know is non-unicode system copy option is not available? is it removed ?
and if we want to install non-unicode then how we can perform that ?
Can we install target system using UC kernel and later just perform NON-unicode kernel upgrade, will this work?
Has anyone faced such concern?
Guidance will be appreciated.
Regards,
Bond

Thanks for update RB.
We have tried this method as in we stop SAP and sync file systems and perform DB/Backup restore method. This method works but unfortunately I am not able to find any SAP relevant document to support this method for so called "java" systems.
SAP only suggest to perform system copy for "java" hence we are trying via export import. Currently I am looking into options of using old master installation software.
although, can i request you if you any SAP relevant note or kba or any other in which SAP support/suggest we can perform file system copy and db restore for "Java" systems then it will be just a thing which I need to go ahead with method you suggested.
Thanks , kindly update.

Client Copy between unicode system and non-unicode system

Hello,
we have to build up a new system for japan. It is planned to install a new 4.7Ext200 unicode system and then make a client copy from a non-unicode 4.7Ext200 (language= german, english) system to the unicode system. I don't think that this is possible way, but I can't find information regarding client copies from non-unicode to unicode. I would advice the project to convert the existing non-unicode system to unicode, make a system copy for the new system and then install japan languages. Any information, which can help me.

Alexander

How to use non-Unicode mode in VB6 with ADO.

I'm using ADO on top of OraOLEDB to connect to Oracle 9.2. The database characterset is AL32UTF8. Since my client can't handle Unicode characters, I need a character conversion. However, arcording to the OraOLEDB document( which can be obtained here http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/win.920/a95498/using.htm#1010255):
"How Oracle Unicode Support Works
OraOLEDB works in two modes, Unicode mode and non-Unicode mode. When the client character set is not a superset of
the server character set, OraOLEDB automatically enables the Unicode mode. In this mode, OraOLEDB stores the data in its cache in the UCS2 encoding scheme. The user should ensure that the database's character set is UTF8 in order to prevent any data loss.
If the client character set is a superset of the server's, the provider operates in the non-Unicode mode. This mode provides slightly better performance as it does not have to deal with larger character buffers required by the UCS2 encoding."
My client can only use NLS_LANG VN8VN3, which is NOT a superset of AL32UTF8, so "OraOLEDB automatically enables the Unicode mode". So if I code like this:
Text1.Font="Some Vietnamese Font"
Text1.Text= rs1.Fields("Name").Value
the display is bad ('?' all over the place). This is because rs1.Fields("Name").Type is adVarWChar, so rs1.Fields("Name").Value is encoded in UCS2. What I need is to make rs1.Fields("Name").Type is adVarChar, but it seems to be impossible since Field.Type is readonly.
When I use MS provider for Oracle, I found out that rs1.Fields("Name").Type is adVarChar, so Oracle do the conversion from/to AL32UTF8 (database character set) and VN8VN3(NLS_LANG) for me.
Since I use LOB and things that MS does not support, I want to use OraOLEDB, so anyone can help me out? It's ugent.
I can see that some 3rd program like SQLNavigator4.3 work well with NLS_LANG = VN3VN8 and DATABASE_CHARACTERSET=AL32UTF8 (i.e the program convert between the 2 characterset).
Please correct me if I misunderstood anything.
I need this ugently. Any help would be appreciated. If I don't make myself clear enough, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply. I started to think that everybody is out on holidays...
The Oracle9i Client version is 9.2.0.1.0
Oracle Provider for OLEDB version is 9.2.0.4.0
Oracle Net version is 9.2.0.1.0, in case you need it.
The Oracle9i Database version is 9.2.0.1.0
But I don't think it is a version problem, is it?
