Summary :
This SAP Note provides insights into the hardware resource requirements and expected database size growth during Unicode conversions or Unicode with Upgrade conversions in SAP systems. For database sizing, UTF-8 conversions typically result in up to a 10% increase, whereas UTF-16 can elevate between 20% and 60%, depending on the original database encoding and factors such as database settings, transaction types, and frequency of reorganizations. CPU load may rise by 10% to 30%, and main memory requirements typically increase by 40% to 50%. However, network load remains largely unaffected due to efficient compression methods.
