Unicode and non unicode compatibility

Hi All,

We have a scenario like i need to connect my portal server EP 6.0(unicode) to my backend R/3 4.7 Enterprise edition (non unicode).

Now from various sap notes , i came to that SAP offers restricted support for these kind od mixed setup.

Now exactly, we need to take some precautionary steps for that sceanrios..But it is acceptable with single code page settings..now i need to kno whether it is possbile and also,the correct diff between MDMP,Single code page,unicode and nonunicode...

I have my R/3 4.7 Enterprise edition with two default languages installed ( english, german)..can i go abt connecting my unicode and nonunicode.

Please reply

Thanks
