UNICODE upgrade - missing R3lsctl
We are on an as/400 v7r1 system running an upgrade from ASCII to UNICODE on a 4.7 SAP system.
When we start the sapinst.exe we get thru a few steps then the upgrade stops because R3ldctl is missing.
We loaded patch R3ldctl_9-20000359.SAR with APYR3FIX but this looks like it loads R3ldctlDB4.
We copied over a version of R3ldctl from another direcory and the job failed.
Error message from sapinst.exe is below
An error occurred while processing service DB2/iSeries ASCII/Unicode Conversion Kit > ASCII ABAP Database Content Export
( Last error reported by the step :TMKSVR Exception translating call parameters: changeCallForO4Spawn: "\usr\sap\T03\SYS\exe\run\R3ldctl" could not be resolved..). You may now
press Retry to repeat the current step.
press the View Log button to get more information about the error.
stop the task and continue with it later.
Log files are written to Z:\usr\sap/SAPinst/NW04S/EXP.
Where can we get R3ldctl ?
Thanks
The export ran for about 3.5 hrs and 3 jobs of 16 failed. The failing jobs are

SAP Best Practice For Unicode Upgrades - NetWeaver 2004s
Team SAP,
I have a customer that is starting to plan for a Unicode upgrade. The question from the customer is as follows:
What is the SAP Best Practice for Unicode Upgrades? They will be upgrading from a BW 3.5 System to NetWeaver 2004s, and their question is ... should they:
a) Perform the Unicode Upgrade At The Same Time As Their BW 3.5 > NetWeaver 2004s Upgrade, or
b) Perform NetWeaver 2004s Upgrade first, and then at a later date, perform the Unicode Upgrade?
Thank you in advance for any guidance or counsel you may be able to offer.

FTP transfer gives incorrect characters after unicode upgrade
Hello all,
We write a file on a FTP drive containing data from an internal table. We use FM FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT to write this file. The internal table contains characters like 'ü'. Before our unicode upgrade this process worked fine. After our unicode upgrade the FTP file contains instead of the 'ü' characters like 'ü'.
The internal table passed to the FM is still ok in the unicode system, only the result seems not. We did set the unicode flag on the SAPFTP RFC destination but this made no difference.
Any idea?
Thanks and best regards,
BorisHello Anil,
Below items we checked between MDMP 46B and Unicode ECC6 with production client table SKAT. some Spanish display not correct.

Unicode upgrade of Business Objects
Hi All,
Can someone let me know how to do Unicode upgrade of Business objects.
For programs, we can set the unicode attribute, in the similar way how to set this Unicode attribute for Business objects?
AmoghHi Amogh.
We have the same issue.
Whe are in the middle of the ABAP unicode enabling and we haven't found a solution for some customer Business Objects - e.g. Z_BUS2017. They are OK (UCCHECK transaction) but they haven't the Unicode flag. The standard Object BUS2017, program MM07MMOB have the Unicode flag activeted (view TRDIR-UCCHECK).
If you have got a solution please, advice us.
Best regards,

CCMS there are no entries in "displays alerts" after unicode upgrade.
Hello
After an Unicode upgrade of an SAP 4.7, there are no entries in "displays alerts".
Table ALALERTDB empty.
ThanksHi Gervase,
I don't know what you have done yesterday, but now I can see note 1032334. Thanks.
I closed the sap call again.
Anyways, it was very strange, in transaction SNOTE I tried to download this note but then the message appeared "this note is not released, please inform your sap support". And on sap support portal it was near the same. Now I will implement it and give you a feedback if you wish.
kind regards

What is unicode upgrade?
VenkatHi
Upgrade Projects can follow one of the 2 possibility.
1. Technical Upgrade: in which the basis consultant will handle the same & transport the configurations & developments from 5.0 to 6.0. Subsequent to which functional consultant & ABAP er will do the necessary change in configuration or further configuration & ABAP ers will do necessary developments required.
2. Traditional ASAP mythology: which would refer as new implementation as a whole.
STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
The client has modified Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD, which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary, objects that. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified. This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
Then we need to move Z/Y Objects. Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is
Includes
Function Groups / Function Modules
Programs / Reports
OSS Notes
SAP Repository Objects
SAP Data Dictionary Objects
Domains, Data Elements
Tables, Structures and Views
Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
BDC Programs
Print Programs
SAP Scripts, Screens
User Exits

Unicode upgrade & impact on security
Hi All,
One of my clients will be upgrading their system to Unicode in the next few months.
Does anyone have experiences to share of this process with respect to security.
I know that it can cause problems with portals, however that is not an issue here as it's the ABAP stack that I am most interested in.
Cheers
AlexHi All,
Unicode upgrade went live in production a while back and no problems to report from a security side.
No issues which have subsequently been identified have been traced back to teh Unicode upgrade being the cause.
Cheers

Release 12.0.4 Upgrade - Missing Files
Has anyone encountered any issues with a 12.0.4 upgrade from 11.5.9 and missing Application files? If so, how were you able to resolve the issue. We've found instances of hard-coded Oracle Corp mount points for links and were able to correct those. The missing files are in a different directory from what the 12.0.4 patch driver is looking for. We're hesitant to just copy the files to the missing location.
thx,
JohnThe issue was that the 12.0.4 patch driver needs to be applied with the no copy and no generate options and skips the missing files. This is documented in the install guide but was missed. :-(
Thanks. -
Printing in Russian Language - after ECC 6.0 unicode upgrade
Hello ,
Earlier users from russia are able to print in SAP 4.6C using SAPWIN Device type in russian language.
but after unicode conversion and ECC 6.0 EHP 4 upgrade, they are not able to print in russian using SAPWIN.
In print preview ,it is showing correclty, but not in output.
any help ?
regards,
Chaitanya.Hi,
It should not be necessary to change to SAPWIN5. Device type SAPWIN5 only supports cyrillic fonts like COURCYR, HELVCYR or TIMECYR. Therefore, even if the erong font is used in the form, the device type converts it to a Russian font. If yuo use a correct font for Russian characters in the form, then SAPWIN should also work.
SWINCF should also work with the current form setting.

ITunes Upgrade: Missing Songs
I catch podcasts with Juice which drops them in to iTunes and changes their Genre to Podcast.
I have a smart playlist for my podcasts and grabs all unrated songs with a genre of podcast.
Once I listen to an episode if I tag it with one star my smart playlist "Podcast - Delete" grabs it because it has the one star.
However, since the upgrade, those single starred items aren't showing up under my main "Library" thus I can't delete them. Any ideas on how I can view these songs/podcasts again? Why aren't they showing up in the Library?
[The reason I use Juice is because if I use Apple's Podcast tab, I can't give ratings to podcasts in my iPod so I have no way to mark which ones I want to save/delete/rate other than playcount = 1. Wish they'd bring back the ability to apply user ratings to podcasts like they used to have. Two steps forward and one step back with every new update.]Now, with 16 songs with one star in my "Podcasts - Delete" smart playlist (defined as any song having a one star rating) four randomly finally showed up in my Library... so now I can handle them normally and delete them...
Where are the other 12 songs hiding? What's the secret to the missing missing files? Showing up only in the Smart Playlist but not the library... -
BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB- Entries with special charaters afetr unicode upgrade
Hi,
We are on SRM 5.0 (SRM_SERVER 550) Sp07. SAp 4.7 backend.
We are upgrading the system to unicode.
What we have observed is after PO creation the BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB has some special characters in the field 'Key'
For example:
BUS2121001##䟅㳤탇ᾣᾣઃ????#?? ######## 01############################
In the non unicode system the entry reads like below
BUS2121001GAEp#?g8Ia#####o# ################ 01###########
This does not cause problems in most of the SRM systems, but in one of the systems, the Clean_reqreq_up job is failing with a message 'Buffer table not up to date'. We are not sure if this is due to the entries in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB which have special characters or not.
Can someone please explain the impact/risk of such entries in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB. Is this a known issue. is there any solution for this?
Thanks & regards,
Srivatsan
Edited by: Srivatsan on Feb 29, 2008 1:14 PMHi,
The special characters may be due unicode/langauage issue.

Printing of asian characters after ECC 5.0 / unicode upgrade
Does anyone know what do we need to do in order to print documents in asian languages. We have upgraded to ECC5.0/unicode.
I solved my issue as follows.
Here are 4 options I analyzed, you may chose one that best fits your needs.
We chose option 1.1
1.1 PRINTER UPGRADE/REPLACEMENT
This is a h/w based solution. This option requires certain compliant models of the printers and installation of special font card to that printer. It provides faster response times since the fonts dont have to be sent across the network. Although there are less number of fonts available compared to other options, they are sufficient to cover major world languages.
1.2 SAPLPD/SAP SPRINT
This is a s/w service running on a NT Box, also known as Frontend printing. This decentralizes printing landscape from Unix (our SAP instances are on unix) to windows based printing and would require changes to printng support procedure in our landscape.
1.3 OMS
Using a Output Management System ( OMS) such as HP OMS or VPSX ( using a plugin such as Impulse for Double Byte printing). This is full-fledge output management solution but requires additional resources and capital investment and is suited for organization with significant(sometimes complex) output needs that need to be carefully managed.
1.4 PDF
Convert SAP output to pdf and send the pdf file with fonts embedded inside it to printer. Requires ABAP resource and uncertainty over whether all the different types of output can be converted to pdf besides the pdf printing will add network overhead and cause slowness affecting other processes.May be something for future since SAP is collaborating with adobe on forms/output delivery. -
Conky upgrade - missing dep.
Hi.
After upgrading to new conky (1.4.4-1) it refuses to run. The problem is missing dep. - libxdamage.
The previous conky worked just fine, so either maintainer forgot about adding the dep. or commpiled the conky differently or sth.
Just wanted to tell

DME file download unicode upgrade
we are working on an upgrade.
When we try to download DME files form F110. there is a space before each char in the output file,
eg: K P 9 0 2 7 1. expected result "KP90271"
additional information
a)user parameter is set DCP is set to NONE. b) REGUT-CODEPAGE = 4102, RUGUT-SAPRL = 620.
Any suggestion??
Edited by: sarath sirip on Jan 26, 2011 4:56 PMHi,
Same issue we faced in 46C NC to ECC UC upgrade.
I guess the program used to generate the DME file is Z program, which might be copied from the SAP standard program in older release. For the same SAP standard program there might be some of the changes related to unicode. Adjust your Z program reference to the SAP standard progam.
