SAP Note 638357 - Transport between Unicode systems and non-Unicode systems

Component : Change and Transport System - Internationalization (I18N)

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/638357 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
When transporting objects between SAP systems with and without Unicode, ensure the use of the system's corresponding R3trans version for both import and export processes. Technical issues might include failure to import 'exebotic' language entries or report sources post-Release 7.10, particularly into ASCII systems due to character set mismatches leading to errors like "Input buffer too short." Logical transport problems mainly involve the incorrect conversion of non-Latin1 characters causing potential data corruption. SAP Note cross-references provide further guidance on managing transport across different releases.
