Unicode upgrade & impact on security

Former Member — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 09:22:46 GMT

Hi All,

One of my clients will be upgrading their system to Unicode in the next few months.

Does anyone have experiences to share of this process with respect to security.

I know that it can cause problems with portals, however that is not an issue here as it's the ABAP stack that I am most interested in.

Cheers

Alex

Hi Alex,

You might have some difficulty in assigning authorizations to implement SAP note 857532, but I am sure that you will overcome those difficulties.

Other than that, I have not heard of anything specific.

Cheers,

Julius

Hi All,

Unicode upgrade went live in production a while back and no problems to report from a security side.

No issues which have subsequently been identified have been traced back to teh Unicode upgrade being the cause.

Cheers

Alex
