MulitConnect : Cyrillic character set not transferred properly SAP --> Ora.

[Former Member]

Hi y'all,

I face an urgent problem. We try to use a MultiConnect to write to an other Oracle (not SAP) database from SAP 4.6c via Native SQL statements.

While the transfer itself works flawless the characters end up to be save in the target database in a different code page leading to a mix up characters, if cyrillic characters are to be transferred..

The origin system is SAP using WE8DEC characterset (non-unicode) and the target database is an Orcale databse using CL8MSWIN1251 character set.

Again, the transfer works fine for Latin character, but the needed Cyrillic characters fail miserably.

How could we convert the character set properly?

Can it be done in SAP

Cheers,

Chris

Hi,

I think that for the different characterset issues the best solution is to create a db link on your SAP DB poining to the external one.

In that case you do not need to use Multiconnect,and the transfer will work properly.

Note, I have not tested it, but a colleague had this issue some time ago and I think that was the solution.

Try and let us know
