Dear All,
I have a very specific and unique query. We are implementing ESS, MSS, MBO for our clients, and in the process have upgraded the production servers to R/3 4.7 version ( Non - Unicode ). We're using EP 6.0 as the front for the same .
My question is as below :
Today the client is not interested in having interface other than english, but moving down the line after 2 years he would like to have a Korean language interface, which might require R/3 4.7 with Koran language unicode and functions converted.
What I want to know is whether this effort in upgrading to the unicode version of Korean on R/3 , before we actually implement ESS / MSS etc is better or should we upgrade to a unicode version 2 years later ?
In either case what are the advantages and disadvantages ?
Expert insight sought,
Regards,
Neeraj S.
Hi Neeraj,
Personally, I would recommend upgrading to Unicode now.
With your client there already appear to be signs that a non-unicode format is unsuitable for the longer term vision of the company...
What if this long term vision becomes a more immediate requirement and they no longer want to wait 2 years?
Additionally upgrading to unicode would mean that all custom programs would have to be made unicode compliant. This is a Particularly arduous problem if there is any hexa-decimal manipulation within the custom programs...
Within a Unicode system all programs are automatically made Unicode compliant (as long as the appropriate flag is checked in the program attributes)...
Therefore, if you can implement Unicode now then I would go for it
I hope this helps.
