Corrupted/Garbled Role Menu upon download/upload

[Former Member]

Hi Team-

If I download/upload security roles from/to any system, many times, I see that the menu language node text of the role is currupt.

To check which roles effected, I can check using SE16/Z_tabu_dis and display table name AGR_HIERT.

Hash(#) marks in the node text column indicate that the menu language node is corrupted.

How to fix: Go to SA38-run program PRGN_CORRMEN2-enter role name and target language.

This I can do one by one.

I am in search of a parmanent fix for this while downloading/uploading. Can this be fixed while downloading/uploading roles rather this one by one step solution.

Any help in this regard would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ashok

If you open your downloaded file with a text editor and have a look at the lines starting with AGR_HIERT, do you see the same hash marks there?

YES.

There is a hash(#) entry at the end with text editor. Pls find below the sample.

AGR_HIERT 110Z:BC_ENDUSER 300000048###

Thanks,

I think this is a codepage issue.

If you download roles, do you see a 'parameter' option in the download dialog box? If so, play arpound with the different codepages. UTF8 mostly does the trick for me but if you have a lot of special characters in your language you may need another one. Make sure you use the same codepage for downloading and uploading.

Also, when re-doing this I advise you to delete the roles in the target system first. I've seen some unpredictable behaviour in the uploads where not everything was overwritten.

For checking the textfile I always use UltraEdit. That can handle almost everything.

Thanks a ton Jurjen ! Excellent !!

By default, my parameter field is blank, but when I tried with "UTF8 for Unicode Systems" in parameter field, it worked for me.

Thanks again.
