Additional Preparation
Steps
Delete entries from tables DDNTT_CONV_UC and
DDNTF_CONV_UC
SA38 TWTOOL01 & Execute
Specify a path for the log file as it is very important
to read the log afterwards.
Other error could be analysed with the note
SA38 UMG_SHOW_UCTABS
Make sure tables DDXTT, DDXTF,
DDXTT_CONV_UC, DDXTF_CONV_UC are
empty before you proceed
SE11 Check DDXTT, DDXTF tables. There should not
be any errors displayed.
SA38 RADCUCNT --> Generation for Single Object Type
TABL Name DDXTT_CONV_UC
RADCUCNT --> Generation for Single Object Type
TABL Name DDXTF_CONV_UC
Delete all entries for the tables
DDXTT_CONV_UC, DDXTF_CONV_UC
In Table TRMTRA, If any entries exist SA38 -->
RS_TRANSLATION_EXPORT_OLD_PP
If no entries SA38 -->
RS_TRANSLATION_EXPORT_PP
SA38
SE11
After successful completion
RADCUCNT & Execute (This report creates the
nametabs required for conversion)
SA38
Action
Execute ( This will transfer the languages into the productive client
Execute (This execution may take sometime) This checks for the programs
which are needed to be marked for unicode conversion
Apply Note 712619 - Not required if Not an MDMP system
Execute in Background(This report maintains the corrupt data in many
tables before conversion)
Applied after Basis Pack 48 for release 6.20
Execute (This will clear the corrupt in the table TTDTG)
Delete all which start with QCM (These are temporary tables created during
a upgrade, they don't appear in the dictionary, if not deleted they make their
appearance in the consistency check)
Execute the report in Background (This report sets the Text Lang field for
the tables for conversion)
Read Note 89384
Execute
Extras --> Runtime Object --> Check ( An error is displayed stating why the
object is inconsistent) if the object is not in the dictionary activate the
object. If the objects are not found in the DB but they exist in Dictionary,
they can be ignored.
Unicode Conversion
Copy & Execute (This checks the objects which are inconsistent. Most
likely this report will return some tables which are inconsistent.)
Change all entries which are 1100 to 1160
Global Fallback Code Page 1160 & Save
This initializes all the tables which are required to be converted into
Unicode

Using SQL Query
Keep repeating the check until Check Successful, no action necessary is
displayed.

F:\Temp\Radcucnt.log (Check the log file for any errors. If any error says,
Nametab could not be created it could be ignored, if anytime runtime errors
are available try activating the objects as suggested earlier.)

Should not display any tables ( If it displays any tables run the consistency
check using SE11 and deal with the tables accordingly)
Delete using SQl Query
If any adjust them.

SA38 HRUU_CONVERT_IN_UNICODE Deselect the Checkbox Test Mode and Execute (Some records
become impossible to interpret after the conversion because of
incorrect code page they are corrected with this report.

entries exist SA38 -->
RS_TRANSLATION_IMPORT_OLD_PP
If no entries SA38 --> RS_TRANSLATION_IMPORT_PP
Generate text file,
e.g. file_info.txt
During the export of the source system R3load writes log
and xml files (xml files in MDMP Systems only) into the
installation directory of the non-Unicode system. You
copied those files (e.g.SAPAPPL2001.xml) to your new
Unicode server
This file file_info.txt should contain all names and complete paths
of the SAP*.xml files and SAP*.log files (Export and Import)
