64Bit Non-unicode

[Former Member]

Hi,

we are currently testing a new 64bit platform for our ECC6 enviroment. The problem is that we are still in non-unicode. When we are trying to install SAP 64bit, non-unicode is not an option.

So is there a 64bit non-unicode version available or a workaround for this situation?

Thank you

Hi,

I don't know if it is possible to install a 64bit non-unicode ECC6, but I can assure you that it works perfectly.

Our non unicode 64 bit ECC6 production has been upgraded from R/3 4.7 32 bit.

Can I install an SAP NetWeaver 7.0 system as a non-Unicode system?

You can install an SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR1 or SR2 ABAP system as a non-Unicode system. When you install an SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR1 or SR2 dual-stack system (ABAP+Java), the ABAP part of this system can also be installed as non-Unicode. The Java part of this system can only be installed as Unicode.

As of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3, you cannot install an SAP NetWeaver 7.0 ABAP system or the ABAP part of an SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3 dual-stack system as non-Unicode any longer.

However, non-Unicode is still supported when you perform the system copy for an SAP system upgraded to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SR3.

Hope this helps you in your testing.

I think you can install a non-unicode ECC 6.0 (only if you have single codepage now). MDMP is not supported in ECC 6.0.

The best way would be an upgrade to ECC 6.0 and unicode conversion at the same time.
