Reprocess Scan Solution

Former Member — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 21:44:33 GMT

We are performing R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 & Unicode conversion.

We have gone thru scan2 and assigned languages for all the words thrown up using hint management and manually.

Now after running the Reprocess can we still have 250 tables all saying it has collisions, message type 9, 8 & 3.

We are now manually assigning languages for all the 250 tables.

- We are not very sure whether what we are doing is correct?

- Also if a table has language type as EN and some chinese characters are keyed in, do we need to assign EN or CN?

- We have few garbage characters, we don't know what language we need to assign for those?

- Is there a better way to manage these Reprocess.log

Kindly help

Thanks & Regards

Hi Senthil,

For the reprocess scan the "reason" for entry is defined as follows:

03 Language not maintained in vocabulary

08 No vocabulary entry: word too short

09 No vocabulary entry: word too long

In case 03 at least one word belonging to the entry is not maintained in the vocab.

In case 08 the word is shorter than your minimum word length. In case of an Asian language we recommend to set this value to either 2 or even 1 Byte.

In case 09, the word is too long. However this indicates that you are using an old version of SPUM4, as in newer ones this reason should not come up anymore !

However the following is correct:

Maintain as much as possible the vocab.

Then maintain as much as possible the reprocess log (if you have a word length = 3, I would recommend to repeat the SPUM4 scans, as you get a lot of reprocess logs)

If you have an entry with Chinese and English characters, then you need to assign the Chinese language !

If you have identified garbage entries, then the assigned language does not really matter. I would use EN (Latin-1). But it would be also possible to use a special language you do not use in the system (like e.g. Indonesian).

As I recommended before - if you have a word length = 3 and an old SPUM4 version I would recommend to repeat the scans. This might already lower the number of logs.

Also note 938374 might help in maintaining the reprocess logs.
