Purpose
The report UMG_ADD_DOWNTIME_STEP provides a list of reports which mustbe executed as final preparation step of a Unicode conversion and duringthe business downtime of the system.
Each report checks or modifies data in various tables. You can eitherrun all reports in one step (a background job is scheduled) or you canrun one single report in the dialog process. Each report can be executedas often as necessary. For each of the reports a note exists which isdisplayed at the beginning of the report log.
Since the runtime of some of the reports is long, it is recommended torun all reports in background in a single step.
You must check the log for warning or error messages.
