Hi Raj,

I want to clarify one point:

The IDES mySAP ERP (ECC 6.0) is the first UNICODE system of IDES. All previous versions are NON-UNICODE systems.

So if you want mySAP ERP 2004 and japanese you probably should consider a different codepage or MDMP.

Hi Rajendran,

You run RSCPINST program or RSCP0018 from SE38 to go to simulation to check what languages have been installed on your system.Go through the output it gives, also mainly check the parameter zcsa/installed_languages to knwo what languages are installed. for exact steps goto sap notes 42305.

Please reward for useful answers.

Hi Phani,

When i run RSCPINST - simulation mode , on the IDES ecc 5.0 system ,

error pops out saying

"MDMP is not supported for SAP Business information warehouse".

I have installed only ECC 5.0 IDES system . Do not know why this error comes out

any help is much appreciated

Hi,

you can use ECC in different usage types like AS ABAP, AS JAVA, BI, XI, EP. I guess have you BI also on your system.Your system is a non unicode system ie. MDMP (multi display multi processing system.) which do not support BI . you can ignore this for your scenario.

To know how to install japanese in your non unicode system, refer to notes 42305 and 73606. you will get all the information you need.

Please reward points if helpful

Hi Phani ,

Thanks for your reply . One more last thing i want to know is that , when i try to run current NLS config , i am getting error message as set locale failed for Japanese language .

We are running IDES on Win 2003 EE server.

Do you have any idea on how to get rid of this error and proceed to install japanease package.

Thanks

Hi,

Do you have the right code page installed on your server (OS) to support Japanese? As you are non-unicode mySAP ERP you need to have a code page that supports japanese characters.

If you are not using MDMP you can only have one code page in the mySAP ERP system. If this code page does not support Japanese characters then you can't install japanese. Please see SAP notes 73606 and 45774

If this is a new installation and you don't have a code page that supports Japanese you have two options: covert to unicode or do a re-install with a non-unicode code page that support japanese.

You can't do a new install with MDMP as of mySAP ERP 2004.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your input.

I have followed the default installation of code page 1100 for my IDES ERP 2004 .

Now my question is when I run current NLS setting on RCPinst report page , i am getting error message as "set locale failed" .

Is this error coming from OS layer . We are using windows Enterprise server.

Or this set locale failed error coming due to wrong code page installation

Hi,

You have installed IDES with the Latin-1 (1100) code page which is a single byte code page. This means you can only use single byte western european languages characters as the system can only represent, process and store those characters. Japanese is a double byte language in non-unicode systems.

Locales are at the OS level - there are SAP notes (keywords: set locale) and documents at http://service.sap.com/unicode@SAP.

If you want Japanese then you should order the unicode version of IDES.

You can't install Japanese on a latin-1 1100 system unless you use MDMP which is not support for new installations of mySAP ERP 2004 (you don't MDMP as there are a lot of restrictions - unicode is the way to go).

Cheers,

Mike.
