Data load from ECC6 Unicode to BI7 MDMP

[Former Member]

Hello Contributors,

We are upgrading R3 system to ECC6 Unicode but BI7 is still MDMP system. I'm testing data load and there are some errors related with unicode conversion.

ECC has multiple langusges like English, Korean, Chinese etc...

BI7 MDMP has English and Korean.

Error1 : Korean characters are broken in 0CUSTOMER_TEXT.

As you know customer name doesn't have language code in R3 and Korean text are being used for Korean customers. After loading the data, English characters are okay but Korean characters are broken and displayed as #

Error2 : Values of fields are merged each other if there is Korean characters in 0CUST_SALES_ATTR.

We have Korean characters in some of attributes of 0CUST_SALES. So if a record has Korean characters in one of the field then the following fields are merged each other. But if there is no Korean characters then it is loaded correctly.

For an example;

Values of R3 extractor

Cust# Name Field1 Field2 Field3

1234 Korean Text ABCD EFGH JKLM

3456 English Text OPQR STUV WXYZ

Values of PSA table after loading

Cust# Name Field1 Field2 Field3

1234 Korean Text AB CDEF GHJK LM

3456 English Text OPQR STUV WXYZ

(*if there are Korean characters then the following fields are divided and a part is updated in to the previous field)

Please help me if you have any ideas to resolve this issues.

Best Regards

HD Sung.

Convert your BI system to Unicode. MDMP is not supported in this scenario, as you have found.
