Unicode conversion question

Former Member

Hi

I would like to perform a unicode conversion of our Solution manager instance.

The current version of the database is 7.6.6.6.

Can I use the command db_migratecatalog or do I have to perform a homogeneous Migration?

The instance was migrated from Oracle 32bit to MaxDB 64bit 7.6.4.

The _UNICODE parameter is set to YES but the VARCHAR fields are all ASCII.

My preference is to perform the migration on the current instance rather than homogeneous migration process.

Thanks

Doug

Hello Doug,

'db_migratecatalog' is a command that migrates the database catalog - not the data or the application tables.

Since _UNCODE is already set to YES the catalog of your database is UNICODE already.

If you want to convert your SAP system into a UNICODE system, you have to do a UNICODE conversion - there's no way to skip or bypass this.

regads,

Lars
