Title

Purpose
To allow use of unicode systems, the relevant data is reorganizedphysically.
During the upgrade, this program runs to carry out the necessaryconversion of the data in the new tables.

Prerequisites

  • Conversion must not have already taken place successfully. Otherwise,
  • the appropriate clients are missed out.
    • Customizing of organizational management must be complete. It must be
    • possible to change infotypes and read structures. Generally, this isapplicable for a system, since it would have been used prior to theupgrade.
      • The active plan variant (T77S0: PLOGI/WORKF and PLOGI/PLOGI) has to be
      • set. The scenario BBP (T77OMATTSC) has to be defined.
        • Conversion from Release 3.50 (BBP_ATTR_XPRA350) has to have run
        • successfully.
