SCM Unicode Conversion - Initialize LC or not??

[Former Member]

We have recently upgraded our non unicode SCM 5.0 systems to SCM7 EhP3 and we now want to convert these systems to Unicode.

We will be running most of the unicode conversions in situ, ie run all the unicode conversion steps and /SAPAPO/OM_LC_DOWNLOAD_UPLOAD (A&B) , export the database, drop the original non unicode system, reinstall a unicode SCM system and then import the database, followed by /SAPAPO/OM_LC_DOWNLOAD_UPLOAD  (C) etc..

On one of the servers however we have 2 SCM systems installed and will use the unicode conversion to move one of the SCM systems to a new server during the database export/import phase, so finally down to my questions!

1) For the in situ Unicode conversions, I take it that we DO NOT have to initialize LC when reinstalling the Unicode SCM system and that we can use param_put DEFAULT_CODE Unicode  and alter user SAP<SID> DEFAULTCODE UNICODE before running Step C of /SAPAPO/OM_LC_DOWNLOAD_UPLOAD?

2) For the Unicode conversion including the database export/import (homogenous system copy)  to the new server, do we have to initalize livecache as part of the SCM install?
