Hi All
We currently have a non-unicode system on EHP5 and wants to upgrade it to EHP8 using SUM 1.0 Sp18
Does upgrade to EHP8 needs a unicode system or we can do the upgrade and unicode conversion at the same time ?
Thanks
Hi Ian,
please have a look at SAP note 1322715 - point 6.
Excerpt (begin)
SAP NetWeaver Release 7.50 and all products based on it (see below) will be supported with Unicode only. Upgrades of non-Unicode systems to releases higher than SAP NetWeaver 7.40 without prior Unicode conversion will not be supported. For further info please have a look at https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/012002523100009958832014E/ .
Products based on SAP Netweaver 7.50 are
(see also SAP note 2172935) and therefore they will be supported on Unicode only. In addition, it is NOT planned to provide a combined solution (CU&UC) for doing an upgrade and a Unicode conversion for the listed products (and for all other products based on NW 7.50).
Excerpt(end).
Hence in most cases you need to separate Unicode conversion (with your current EHP5) and upgrade to EHP8.
Best regards,
Nils Bürckel

Hi,
You can combine upgrade and Unicode conversion, so both can be performed together in one go.

Sorry, Harish, but that's not true for an upgrade to EhP8. The combined Unicode Conversion and Upgrade is only relevant for upgrades up to EhP7. For EhP8 it is a requirement to convert to Unicode in advance.
Cheers,
Matt
