Open/Modifiable transports before unicode conversion

[venu_katamneni]

Hi,

We are planning to convert our ERP 6.0 system to Unicode starting with our DEV environment. Is it manadatory to release the open/modifiable change requests (transports) before we start the export/import on our DEV system? This is an upgrade of the ERP system so I am thinking we do not need to. But need some confirmation.

Thanks.

Hi,

no, it is not mandatory to release all transports before a Unicode conversion.

Thanks for the answer. So, in effect we can use the transports and release them after the unicode conversion in DEV is complete and then move them into our QAS system before the QAS system is converted right?

Hi,

this is a second aspect.

Basically you ask whether it is possible to transport between a Unicode system (DEV) and a Non-Unicode system (QAS).

In most cases, this is possible. Please have a look at SAP note 1322715 > Point 9 for details.
