SAP Note 793847 - ALE system group (Unicode) with subsystem (non-Unicode)

Component : Integration Technology ALE - RFC

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/793847 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues related to interfacing between a Unicode SAP system and a non-Unicode subsystem via ALE, focusing on IDoc interchangeability and RFCTRFC communication. The note details solutions for both outbound and inbound IDoc processing, emphasizing the management of conversion errors and code page settings via transaction SM59. Enhanced methods include the creation of multiple RFC destinations tailored to different code pages and specified update procedures for accurate code page identification, mitigating character misrepresentation by diversifying subsystem instances and refining IDoc allocation based on contained characters. Kernel patches and support packages are also specified for implementing these corrections.

Key words :
manually create function module rfc_set_communication_codepage, existing function group urfc, sap character set identifier, ignore conversion error option, user-defined rfc destination, ale sap system group, active dialog user, tcp/ip connection, tci/ip connection, inbound processing procedure
