Client Export / Import from non unicode to unicode

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

is it possible to export a client from a non unicode system and import them to a unicode system?

Is this procedure equatable to the transport from non unicode to unicode like note:

note 638357 - Transport zwischen Unicode- und Nicht-Unicode-Systemen

Thanks!

Hi,

A client export via R3trans is different from a unicode conversion export using R3load.

Thus no its not possible to perform a client copy from a non-unicode system to a unicode system.

Hi Benjamin,

with a single code page system on the Non-Unicode side it is technically possible to do a client export / transfer on the Non-Unicode system and import it on the Unicode system.

The conversion is then handled in the rfc interface (or transport program).

Please also have a look at SAP notes 638357 and 552711.
