Purpose
RSCPINST is a setup and diagnostic tool for NLS configurations in R/3.The user can specify the set of languages needed, and the reportautomatically determines the settings required for a consistant NLSconfiguration. The report also automatically updates the necessarydatabase tables. However, modifications to the application profileparameters must be carried out manually.

Prerequisites
@AH@ Read SAP Note 73606

Features

1. Check current NLS system status

• All important NLS configuration tables:

TCP0C ,,(code pages and locale names )
TCP0F ,,(frontend code pages)
TCPDB ,,(current set of database code pages)
TCP09 ,,(language/ code page mapping)
TCP0D ,,(current country setting)

• All important NLS application server profile parameters


• All neccessary locales

2. Specify languages and country code

Non-Unicode System


• Enter languages: The tool initially suggests the set of
languages that have been derived from the profile parameter
zsca/installed_languages. Languages can be added or deleted.

• Enter country: The user can choose a country code suggested in
the list.

Unicode System


• Enter languages: The tool initially suggests the set of
languages that have been derived from the profile parameter
zsca/installed_languages. Languages can be added or deleted.
[How to extend the language list]
If F4 Help of the Key field does not include the language you would liketo add, proceed as follows.
It is recommended to contact SAP to evaluate your system landscape andlanguages before the configuration. Please refer to SAP Note 73606 forfurther information.
1) Press Extend Language List.
2) Press F4 to select the 2-letter language code that you would like toadd.
3) Press Execute (F8).
4) Return to RSCPINST. Your selected language is now available in F4Help of the Key field.

• Enter country: The country code reflects to a default encoding
for the "OPEN DATASET" statement (SAP Note 752835) and also the #IMPORT#statement in a system which was configured as an MDMP system prior toits Unicode conversion (SAP Note 588451).
If there is an existing entry, it displays the country in the fieldsnext to the 'Choose' pushbutton and also all possible countries in thelist.
If it is a new installation or no previous entry is found, it justdisplays 'Unicode' in both the field and the list.
If there is a need to select the country, you can make the country listavailable by following: Menu > Goto > Select Country (Unicode)

3. Simulation
In this mode, RSCPINST checks the consistency of new configurations andgenerates a list of new setting information and problematic areas foundthrough the check, such as inconsistent database table entries, missinglocales, obsolete parameters, etc. These problems need to be repairedbefore proceeding to activation. No database updates are carried outwithin this mode.

4. Activation
During activation all neccessary database updates are done. A list ofrequired profile parameter modifications is generated and these have tobe done manually. After changing the parameters, please restart thesystem.
