Changes in source system dyring Unicode conversion

Hi,

I've upgraded our R/3 non-Unicode installation to ERP 6.0 non-Unicode using CU&UC guide. Now I plan to do the export & import phase to migrate the source system to Unicode.

My question is, does the export phase (where the Unicode conversion actually takes place) do any changes in the source system? It' is a production system, and when something goes wrong or the time exceeds the limit I have for the export, I need to stop the export, put it back to production and try another time. So I need to be sure that the export itself doesn't do any changes to the source system.

Thanks in advance

Tomas

Hi Tomas,

the export simply "copies" the source system (and converts the data to Unicode) - it does not change it.

Therefore you can still use it after the export is finished.
