Summary :
This SAP Note offers technical guidelines on the conversion from non-Unicode to Unicode formats for SAP systems based on Web Application Server 6.x or higher. The conversion process is detailed primarily in the "Unicode Conversion Guide," referenced within as UCG. Key conversion methods include using R3Load for database export and import, which aligns with the Homogeneous System Copy approach, supplemented by Unicode conversion during export. Updates and attachments for specific scenarios are available through listed SAP Notes for varied system configurations. Effective planning and the download of the latest document versions are recommended immediately before conversion. Consideration of system-specific restrictions and careful examination of related SAP Notes are emphasized to ensure compatibility and completeness of the conversion process.
