Unicode Conversion: Building Target System in Advance

I already successfully ran ./distribution_monitor.sh -p on the source and have generated the relevant files (i.e., DBSIZE.TPL, DDLORA.TPL, and LABEL.ASC). Per the 'Distribution Monitor 1.9.1 Users' Guide, section 11.2.1, it says to select the "SAPinst option 'Installation using Migration Monitor'". When I start sapinst on the target and navigate attempt to create the target using Software Life Cycle Options, I cannot find "Installation using Migration Monitor" anywhere. I have tried multiple different options, hoping it would finally appear, but no luck. Your advice is appreciated.

Hi,
you need to select ... > system copy > <your DB>
Then under
> (Step 2) Define Parameters
you should tick the option:
> Start Migration Monitor manually

Two Errors during Unicode import into Target System

I exported our non-unicode 64-bit test NW 7.0 BW database as unicode and now I have started the import into the new unicode database on the target system. I am using the Single Code Page System Conversion to Unicode NW 7.0 SP16 and higher documentation. We are at service pack 18 with NW 7. During the Import ABAP phase the sapinst stopped with an errors. I found the following the first error in the SAP000.log - O:\usr\sap\BWP\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\R3load.exe: START OF LOG: 20090326104509

It looks like the same error but in two different logs. Has anyone seen this error before? Thanks.

I checked and the datafiles for all the tablespaces are set to autoextend up to 10gb and none have done this in the tablepaces that are close to being full. I did increase three tablespaces that were showing close to being full and that did not resolve the error. Would I need to restart the process from the beginning and adjust the dbsize.xml to make it work?

Unicode Conversion in a system landsacpe

Hello,
we are planning a unicode conversion of our productive system.
Our productive system is the source system of several systems like BI, mobile engine, webshop and so on.
About the problems of unicode conversion within the productive system I have found a lot of information.
But what about the scenario: If our productive system is unicode based and the satellite system do not have unicode, is that a problem.
Do we have to keep in mind to convert also the target/satellite system ?
And futher more do we have to analyse the program codes in the satellite system for BI (transfer structure,infoobject and so) ?
Do anybody have expierience with his system landscape ?
Thanks so far,
Komin

hello henning,
are you connected with the other systems via RFC?
if yes it should be no problem, because you can different in you rfc settings, between incoming non-unicode lettes and outging unicode

Unicode conversion in NonUnicode system

We are undertaking a project to make all Z* programs Unicode compatible in Non-unicdoe system.
Any suggestions to approach this tasks is welcome..
Thanks.

Target system install problem (SAPINST searching for Non unicode kernel)

Hi,
I'm currently performing a unicode conversion (from 4.7 to EHP4). I am finished with the upgrade and I'm now in the unicode conversion part.
I have completed the export and selected unicode as the target system. I am done with source system uninstallation and I'm now installing the unicode target system. I have selected unicode during the parameter selection (it's the default option anyway) but during the part where it will ask for the kernel DVD, it doesn't accept the path of my unicode kernel (and instead looks for the non-unicode kernel)

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your response. This problem is now resolved. It turns out that there are some remaining files from the old /usr/sap/<> and /sapmnt/SID/exe that were not deleted yet (after uninstalling for non unicode system). I proceeded to delete again these files and ensure that there are no files from the non unicode system

Combined Upgrade and Unicode conversion of Sap 4.6C to ECC6.0

Hello all,
my project team intends to carry out a combined upgrade and unicode conversion of an SAP ERP 4.6C system with MDMP to ECC6.0 (no enhancement package). The system is running on Oracle 10.2.
In preparation for this upgrade, I have gone through the SAP notes 928729, 54801.
We need to get a rough estimate of the entire downtime so as to alert our end users. From the CU&UC documentation in 928729, I read up note 857081. However the program in this note cannot be used to estimate the downtime as my system is < SAP netweaver 6.20.
Is there any other SAP note or tool or program that I can use to estimate the downtime for the entire CU&UC? Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Combined upgrade depend upon number of factors like database size, resources on the server and optimization. In order to get idea of how much downtime, it will take, I would suggest you to do combined upgrade and unicode conversion on sandbox system which should be the replica of your production system. And try to optimize it. From there you can get approx. downtime required.
Also, please read combined upgrade and unicode conversion guides on http://service.sap.com/unicode@sap
Thanks

Unicode Conversion ERP6.0 EHP3

Hello
We have for Dev. purpose an ERP6.0 EHP3 SP2 Non-Unicode System, now we should make an Unicode conversion with this system. Does someone have an Idea for me which Conversion Guide I have to use for this ? NW70-14 ?? NW7016 ?? NW701 ?? there must be an NW703 or not ??
thanks,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
the Unicode conversion guides depend on the Basis/NW support packages / EhPs of your system.
If you have e.g. NW 7.0 EhP 1, then you need the guide 701.
The application support packages / EhPs are not relevant for the UC conversion (since it can be used for ERP,CRM,SCM, ...).

Things to note:
1. The source system is a non-unicode MDMP system.
2. Target system is again Non-unicode.
3. we are doing homogenous system copy.
4. No OS or DB2 database changes underwent after or before the export.
5. We tried using the latest R3load as per one of the SAP note. This could be noted by the bold texts in the log file.
Any help would be most appreciated.

MaxDB upgrade/heterogeneus system copy problem with unicode conversion

Project goal:
upgrade a Content Server Version 7.3.0.35 32bit Non Unicode to
version 7.6.06.16 64bit Unicode
I found and followed note 962019
My plan (following the note):
-create a clone of the original Content Server (vmware clone)
-as per note 962019 patched server 7.3.0.35 to 7.3.0.62 (> 7.3.0.57)
-created index
-on a fresh installed windows 2003 server 64bit i installed Content Server with build 7.6.06.16
-using loadercli from the target server (7.6.06.16) exported data
Now i was ready to start the import, as the note states:
"if the database parameter _UNICODE is set to the value NO and you want to start the target system with SAP MaxDB Version 7.6, you can use procedure described here for the import into a target system only with SAP MaxDB Version 7.6.05 build 11 or higher"
Having version 7.6.06.16 i was confident on such procedure, but my import stops immediatly with error:
D:\exportKpro>loadercli -d PRD -u SAPR3,SAP -b import.sql
Loader protocol: 'C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\My Documents
\sdb\loader\log\loader.log'
Loader packages: 'C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\My Documents
\sdb\loader\packages'
Error connecting user SAPR3 to database PRD on local host: -25005
User (SAPR3) logon to database PRD failed: SQL error -8046 = Conversion from UNI
CODE impossible: 7600 (error position: 1)
And now i'm stuck with no hints on how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.

Simone Zaffalon

Hello Simone,
as you're staying on Windows platform, there is no need for a heterogenous system copy.
All you've to do is to upgrade the 32-Bit installation to your target release (why not use MaxDB 7.7 right away?).
Once this is done, you can check whether the database catalog is still non-unicode (_UNICODE=FALSE).
If it is, there is a catalog migration procedure you can use to change this.
If the 32-Bit database is as you want it, take a full data backup.
Then uninstall the 32-Bit software, install the same version of MaxDB in the 64-Bit fashion.
Finally create the db instance by a restore of the backup.
After a load_systab your database is fully ready to go!
Just to stress this again: the _UNICODE parameter is not about your data!.
It's about the database catalog.
Having this parameter set to YES you can create e.g. tables named with Unicode characters.
The parameter does in no way affect your business data!
Since many customers ask why they should't use loadercli for a scenario like this:
a) It's only supported if you must use it, that is, you change the byte-order of the OS platform
b) it's way faster than export and import. We're talking about a few hours compared to days here!
c) It's much safer and controllable to use backup/restore and SDBUPD and move on step-by-step than exporting all data into a big file chunk and hoping that everything will be fine afterwards.

Lars

Single Code Page Unicode conversion when source and target are the same

Hi everyone. We have recently upgraded our non-unicode 4.7 to ECC6 non-unicode. Now we have begun researching the next step to convert to Unicode. I know we could have done the Combined Upgrade and Unicode Conversion but I wanted to do thorough testing after the upgrade to eliminate too many variables if problems arose.
So, my question is...has anyone done the Unicode conversion when source and target servers are the same? Most documentation I've seen recommends a system copy to another box first. I did find one forum thread that gave a high level approach to doing the conversion with just one server and listed this:
Step 1:- Run Tcode SPUMG to scan
Step 2:- Export Database
Step 3:- Drop Database
Step 4:- Create New Database
Step 5:- Import database
Step 6:- Chnage unicode Kernel
What are your thoughts? Is it supported? Am I wasting my time and should I just bite the bullet and buy yet another system? Thanks in advance.
-Anthony

Theoretically that's possible, yes. However...
> Step 5:- Import database
> Step 6:- Chnage unicode Kernel
the import must be done using the Unicode kernel.
So basically you can
- export the old systm
- uninstall system + database
- start as if you were installing "from scratch" on a new box

Job logs from the original system after Unicode conversion.

Dear Globalization experts,
We are doing Unicode conversion and would like to know, if the Job logs from the batch jobs, executed before conversion (system with a 1100 code page), would be readable in the Unicode system after the conversion. We will move job log files from the source to the target system. I . Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Alik Shapiro

Hi Alik,
I have strong doubts that this will work ...
From SAP notes 842767 and 901004 you can see, that spool data will not be converted properly by default.
In general this is valid for data stored in TemSe, as this is by definition temporary data (see for example http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d9/4a8f9c51ea11d189570000e829fbbd/content.htm ).
However I actually did not test it, so I am not 100% sure.

Export DB for Unicode conversion by SAPInst for distributed System

Hi,
In a distributed SAP system (CI and DB on separate host),
(1) I run SAPInst to export DB for unicode conversion via system copy option in DB host. After the parameter input up to General Unload settings e.g. Unicode Target system ? Yes, Parallel import/export ? No
The following warning/error occurred and drive K:\usr\sap\MD3 is located at CI host.
How to solve it?

Hi,
In a distributed (CI and DB on separate host) SAP system NW 7.0 ABAP+JAVA usage type MI ,
(1) I run SAPInst to export DB for unicode conversion via system copy option in DB host. After the parameter input screen up to "General Unload settings" e.g. Unicode Target system ? Yes, Parallel import/export ? No
The following warning/error occurred and drive K:\usr\sap\MD3 is only located at CI host. No such folder in DB host as no SAP instance was installed in it.

Changes in source system dyring Unicode conversion

Hi,
I've upgraded our R/3 non-Unicode installation to ERP 6.0 non-Unicode using CU&UC guide. Now I plan to do the export & import phase to migrate the source system to Unicode.
My question is, does the export phase (where the Unicode conversion actually takes place) do any changes in the source system? It' is a production system, and when something goes wrong or the time exceeds the limit I have for the export, I need to stop the export, put it back to production and try another time. So I need to be sure that the export itself doesn't do any changes to the source system.
Thanks in advance
Tomas

Hi Tomas,
the export simply "copies" the source system (and converts the data to Unicode) - it does not change it.
Therefore you can still use it after the export is finished.

Combined upgrade and Unicode conversion for ECC5 MDMP system

Hello,
We are planning to do Upgrade and Unicode conversion of ECC5 MDMP system to ECC6 EHP4 Unicode. We are adopting Combined upgrade and Unicode conversion strategy to minimise the downtime.
In source version ECC5 we are in support pack level 6. Should we need to update the support pack to any target version to start with CU&UC or we can start with ECC5 with SP 6 itself.
Since we cant afford more downtime for support pack update also, is it ok to start with upgrade and unicode conversion with current version.
please advice.
Regards
Vinay

Hello Vinay,
please note that as a prerequisite the Basis SP should be accurate for an MDMP conversion.
There is no MUST to have the latest Basis SP, but without you could have severe issues in SPUMG.
On the application side, there are in most cases no hard requirements on the SP level.
Best regards,

Hi,
Table split option is used for very large databases, you can use normal export/import method.
What is your database size ?
I had done UC for databases upto 1.5 TB, never used table split technique.
Keep it simple while doing complex tasks.
