SAP Upgrade No-UNICODE to *UNICODE

Hi all,
This is our enviroment:
OS: Windows 2000
DB: Oracle 9.2.0.7.0
SAP Kernel 46D
SAP_BASIS Release: 46B
NON UNICODE System
We will go to upgrade our SAP System to:
SAP R/3 Enterprise Core 4.70 Extension Set 2.00 Support Release 1
We recieved this upgrade package (Big White Box) from SAP:
SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7x2.00 SR1(Incl. UNICODE) not for IDES
My doubt is:
*UNCODE does mean that is only for UNICODE Upgrades?
Should i ask to SAP for a upgrade package like this:
SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7x2.00 SR1(Incl. NON UNICODE) not for IDES
Maybe it only mean that, as an option after the upgrade you could convert your system to unicode, only if you want or need.
Please some tips!
Best Regards,
Desiree Cardenas

Hi Desiree,
If you goto www.sap.com/swdc and navigate to
1. Entry by Application Group
2. Installations and Upgrades
3. SAP Application Components
4. SAP R/3 Enterprise
5. SAP R/3 Enterprise 47x200
6. Upgrade
7. Windows Server
8. Oracle
it will show all the DVDs/CDs that may be required for the upgrade. Since none of the media descriptions actually differentiate between Unicode and Non-Unicode, then I expect the package you received is good for either type of upgrade.
Than Martens

Frequently faced errors in Unicode while SAP Upgrade

Hi Gusy,
I am going work on Unicode upgarde project, can any one share Frequently faced errors in Unicode while SAP Upgrade.

Replace variable declaration of type X with appropriate value from method cl_abap_char_utilities
i.e.      CONSTANTS:      con_tab TYPE x VALUE '09',
               con_cret TYPE x VALUE '0D'.
would be replaced with
     CONSTANTS:      con_tab TYPE c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB,

Upload/ws_upload and download/ws_download are obsolete, since they are not Unicode enabled. Replace
with appropriate methods from cl_gui_frontend_services. Please also note that the data types of the various
parameters will also probably also need changing for the new method calls but the code below demonstrates
how to do this. I_TABLE is the original table and IT_UCTABLE is the converted table.

Or in circumstances where you need to add field texts to the first line of the file you could use the
GUI_DOWNLOAD function module:

        f1(50),
      END   OF fields_tab.
fields_tab-f1 = 'field1 text'.

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.

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

What does this mean and what do I have to do to correct it ?

Hello Venkatesh,
could you please tell me which exact SAP DB version you want to install? That's important in this case, because within version 7.3 there's a switch (from a certain Build level) of the SAP DB Installer (used by the sdbinst program).
Additionally, please send me installation protocol of sdbinst, located in the directory C:\sapdb\data\wrk. The name of the file will look something like this:
SAPDB<Installationtype>-<Date>-Time.log
Kind regards,
Roland

SAP upgrade - questions for report painter and query

Hi Experts,
I have two quwstions of SAP upgrade.
My requirement is: SAP upgrade from 4.6B to ECC 6.0 with non-unicode.
1.Does SAP upgrade influence the report painter? If influence, could you tell me what should I do for this case.
2. We have so many queries (SQ01) in our system and many of them haven't been run for a long time. we need a tool to get the runtimes of queries in a certain durition.
For example: From 2008/01/01 to 2008/03/31,I want to know how many queries had been run/ query name/ runtimes of each query.
Best regards,

> 1.Does SAP upgrade influence the report painter? If influence, could you tell me what should I do for this case.
You can check

> 2. We have so many queries (SQ01) in our system and many of them haven't been run for a long time. we need a tool to get the runtimes of queries in a certain durition.
Such a tool was RBE (Reverse Business Engineer) - which is out of support.
You can try to get that information from ST03. If that is not enough there's no other way than booking an SLO service to find out the queries that have not been used (http://service.sap.com/slo).

Put Together A Data Archiving Strategy And Execute It Before Embarking On Sap Upgrade

A significant amount is invested by organizations in a SAP upgrade project. However few really know that data archiving before embarking on SAP upgrade yields significant benefits not only from a cost standpoint but also due to reduction in complexity during an upgrade. This article not only describes why this is a best practice but also details what benefits accrue to organizations as a result of data archiving before SAP upgrade. Avaali is a specialist in the area of Enterprise Information Management. Our consultants come with significant global experience implementing projects for the worlds largest corporations.
Archiving before Upgrade
It is recommended to undertake archiving before upgrading your SAP system in order to reduce the volume of transaction data that is migrated to the new system. This results in shorter upgrade projects and therefore less upgrade effort and costs. More importantly production downtime and the risks associated with the upgrade will be significantly reduced. Storage cost is another important consideration: database size typically increases by 5% to 10% with each new SAP software release – and by as much as 30% if a Unicode conversion is required. Archiving reduces the overall database size, so typically no additional storage costs are incurred when upgrading.
It is also important to ensure that data in the SAP system is cleaned before your embark on an upgrade. Most organizations tend to accumulate messy and unwanted data such as old material codes, technical data and subsequent posting data. Cleaning your data beforehand smoothens the upgrade process, ensure you only have what you need in the new version and helps reduce project duration. Consider archiving or even purging if needed to achieve this. Make full use of the upgrade and enjoy a new, more powerful and leaner system with enhanced functionality that can take your business to the next level.
Archiving also yields Long-term Cost Savings
By implementing SAP Data Archiving before your upgrade project you will also put in place a long term Archiving Strategy and Policy that will help you generate on-going cost savings for your organization. In addition to moving data from the production SAP database to less costly storage devices, archived data is also compressed by a factor of five relative to the space it would take up in the production database. Compression dramatically reduces space consumption on the archive storage media and based on average customer experience, can reduce hardware requirements by as much as 80% or 90%. In addition, backup time, administration time and associated costs are cut in half. Storing data on less costly long-term storage media reduces total cost of ownership while providing users with full, transparent access to archived information.

SAP Upgrade project

Hi Experts,
I need some inputs to do SAP upgrade from 4.& to ECC 6.0.
Generally the steps involved in the Upgrade project?
What is the role of ABAPer in Upgrade project?
What us the role og Functional consultant in project?
How the configuration kind of stuff take care?
Can anyone send me the best document to understand the process..?
Regards,

Hi,
Upgrade Overview
The objective on SAP Technical version upgrade would be to bring in enhanced SAP functionality while retaining the custom development in the original system. The enhanced functionality is not necessarily implemented during the upgrade. The upgraded system is tested for all the functional scenarios existing in the original system and the custom objects are tested for its functioning as in the original system.
Upgrade project consists of 5 phases:
1.     Project Preparation
2.     Blueprinting
3.     Realization
4.     Production Preparation
5.     Go Live & Support
ABAPer Role
a) Syntax Correction
b) Upgrade Correction (Replacement of obsolete statement)
c) BDC Program correction
d) BDC to BAPI conversion
e) Unicode testing using UCCHECK transaction
Functional consultant role
Unit Testing
Test Scripts preparations for Changes
Regards
Praneeth

SAP upgrade methodology

Hi,
We are planning to upgrade our SAP 4.6 R/3 system to ECC 6.0.
The system landscape is:
DEV -
> QA (Quality) -
> PRD (Production)
I would like to know which is the best approach to follow to upgrade all the 3 systems. Should we first upgrade the DEV system, then move the transports to QA and then subsequently to PRD????
Any guidance is really appreciated.
Regards,
Raghavendra.

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,

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.
