Summary :
This SAP Note discusses common issues such as R3load errors during Unicode conversion or runtime errors in Unicode systems, suspecting inconsistencies in Unicode nametab as the primary cause. It elaborates on nametabs, their function in SAP systems, and their crucial role during Unicode conversions. The note outlines troubleshooting steps that involve understanding and managing nametabs before and during the conversion process. Specifically, the document details how to generate and switch nametabs effectively to ensure system stability post-conversion, using tools like RADCUCNT for generation and SAPinst/R3load for executing the switch, while also focusing on maintaining system integrity by avoiding changes post-nametab generation.
