Support package requierement for unicode conversion

We are currently planning a unicode conversion for a SAP 4.7enterprise 1.1 extension version, running under Aix and Oracle, Basis/ABAP SP 35, HR SP20.
According to the conversion guide, we must implement at least Support Pachage 60 for Abap and Basis, no explicit requierement for HR SP level.
I believed that we must applied SAP procedure and exclusively HR Support Package Stack up to 27, which include SP 60 for Basis and Abap and HR 61.
Our HR guys argue there is no indication from SAP that the SUPPORT PACKAGE STACK policy is mandatory and that SAP will provide us with normal support if we run the unicode conversion with SP Basis/ABAP 60, in other word even if we do not respect the support package stack combinaison. Need help on this issue before starting the project

Exterprise 4.7 is Unicode-Compliant,meaning that you can have unicode in 4.7.
If that the case, you should convert to 4.7 Enterprise Ext 2.00 Unicode First.
later only upgrade to ECC 6.0 after 2 years, as you said.
My answer is yes, to your question.
You can download the installation kits at:
http://service.sap.com/swdc
anyway, it is recommended to have the latest SP in your system.
cheers,

SAPDODS package splitting for Unicode conversion

I have experience doing a unicode conversion of an ERP system with numerours splits including SAPAPPL plackages, but this time I am looking for info on how to split/tune the SAPDODS package. I have started the test conversion of our SCM system today which is only 400GB and everything was completed within an hour or so, but the SAPDODS package took 7 hours to export and 3 hours to import. Can you tell me if there is any way to tune it?

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.
Best regards,
Nils Buerckel

Support Package Manger for EBP/CRM cannot confirm SP ???, 'Package unknown'

I am installing CRM 5.0 SR1 (Windows 32bit/Oracle/NW04s).
I have imported SAP_BASIS SP07 and SP08:
'Queue SAPKB70007 - SAPKB70008 imported successfully according to Standard scen.: Confirm this',
but I cannot confirm (Support Package - Confirm is grayed out). If I start Support Package Manager for EBP/CRM SPAM, I get a window: 'Package is unknown'; after continuing I get an exception 'PATCH_NOT_SPECIFIED'. The status window in SPAM shows:
Software Component: ???
SPAM Status: yellow triangle
Next Action: Confirm
Please help.

I ran into this issue. Upgraded spam from 38 to 42. When I go to env-EBp/CRM, the SPAM Package is unknown error came up
Resolution: go to support package -> import spam/saint update again. It tokk care of the issue. Contuniuing with upgrade.

Support Package Manager for EBPCRM

Hi,
In CRM/EBP SAP systems there is used special 'Support Package Manager for EBPCRM' to implement Support Packages instead of standard transactions like SPAM/SAINT.
I'm trying to implement more then one Support Package into the system however this is probably not possible. It seems that it is not possible to create import queue with more then one Support Package? Importing SPs one by one is very time consuming task. SO that's why I'm wondering about this special tool.
Do you have similar functionality?
BR
m./

Hi Jose,
Yes I've put all the SPs into '\usr\sap\trans\Eps\in'. But 'Support Package Manager for EBPCRM' asks me for particular one while I'm going to import it. There is no such an functionality to use queue creation.
BTW: I'm on SAP CRM 4.0 on WIN/MSSQL platform.

Export DB for Unicode conversion by SAPInst for distributed System

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

Hi,
In a distributed (CI and DB installed on separate host) 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 in CI host only.
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,
Ricky

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?

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.

Korean Language Support Package required for Reader but not Acrobat?

One of our departments on campus has created a form that is causing some users to get a message prompting them to download the Korean Language Support Package in order to fill in the form fields.
When I originally tested this in Acrobat Pro 9 I didn't get any errors. Another user also reported the issue recently (two this week). So we tested it again, but this time used both Reader 9 and Reader X -- both programs were generating this message to download the language pack. The form appears to be completely in English with no Korean characters. It uses fairly standard fonts and I didn't see any embedding or encoding issues with the fonts.
Aside from having end users download a Korean Language Support Pack to view a PDF that doesn't seem to contain any Korean, are there any other options out there without recreating the form from scratch? Here is a list of the fonts used in the PDF. The only types of encoding are Ansi and Identity-H (which I expanded in the SS above), with the latter fonts being embedded within the PDF.
Any ideas? The form is linked below. Thanks in advance for your replies.
Here is a link to the PDF

SOLVED
While our problems differ, my solution may still be relevant.
My culprit was a rogue font in an embedded Visio drawing. I identified and located the font using the "List text using non-embedded fonts" Preflight analysis in Acrobat 9.4 Pro. I checked the encoding of each non-embedded font and discovered that Arial Unicode MS used Korean font encoding (specifically, KSCms-UHC-H). See screenshot below. Doubleclicking on one of the font properties highlighted the offending text in the pdf.
I went to that location in the source file, which happened to be in the first embedded Visio drawing (shown above). I double clicked the drawing, selected all, and selected Arial font. Then I regenerated the pdf and viewed it in Reader X. The Korean language pack error message did not appear and all Visio drawings displayed normally.
I would recommend using the Acrobat preflight tools to locate text or objects with incorrect font encoding within your PDF or form, then surgically striking (or carpet bombing) the affected location(s) in the source files with embedded/supported fonts.
Hope this helps.

Migration Key for Unicode conversion

Hi,
I want to do a unicode conversion off ECC 6.0. The system was upgraded few days back from R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0. Now it is required to convert the system to unicode. So to do the activity do we require Migration Key or any other approval from SAP for them to support us?
Thanks,
Suman

If you don't change the platform no migration key is required and no intervention or migration consultant necessary.
Depending on the number of languages/codepages it would probably make sense to get a Basis consultant (maybe remotely will be sufficient) to assist.

Uninstall Database manually for Unicode Conversion

Hi Guys,
While performing a Unicode Conversion, during Export, Unistall and Import of Database, I would like to improve times for Database Creation since its 5TB
My goal is to delete SAP/DB Instance Non-Unicode but keeping Tablespaces and Datafiles Layout, in order to not recreate them when re-installing SAP/DB Instance Unicode
According to SAP Note 1260050 - UNIX:Deleting Oracle DB Instance Based on NW7.1 and Higher, the steps are the following.
drop user SAP<SCHEMA_ID> cascade;
drop tablespace <TABLESPACE_NAME> including contents;
Are this steps valid to delete a ABAP Database, and keeping Datafiles structures for when Installing Unicode SAP Instance?
Thanks!

The drop command "including contents" will delete the datafiles... thus SAPinst will have to create them again... and it can take while for a 5 Tb DB.
SAPinst is supposed to recreate the whole DB thus you should entirely delete it
startup mount exclusive restrict
drop database;
One solution would be to keep the datafiles
=> just run the first SQL command : drop user SAP<SCHEMA_ID> cascade;
and play with sapinst option SAPINST_SET_STEPSTATE to skip the DB creation step
