NW 7.3 vs Unicode - Question for SAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is it true that we have to convert to Unicode before we start the upgrade for NW BW 7.3?

Please confirm.

Regards,

If your system is MDMP yes you will have to, but if your system is non-unicode single code-page system - till date SAP just mentions that a upgrade to SCP non-unicode is possible until SAP NW 7.0 EhP1 but is not recommended. Check this sap note for further details:

73606 - Supported Languages and Code Pages

Nothing is yet out for SAP NW 7.3.
