| Convert text to unicode |  |
| Use this session to convertert data text to unicode. For example when BaanIV c data is being converted to ERP LN with Unicode, the text data will not be converted. That is why this session is created. Before running this session you must create a backup of the texts being converted. If this session fails and corrupts the text data then you are able to restore the data from backup. The correction program can only convert texts under the following conditions: The user must have read/write permissions for the text. The locale of the user must correspond with the locale used when entering the text. To switch the locale, you must change the user data and run a convert to runtime. After that you must restart the bshell. All selected texts are one by one stored in a tmp file, converted, and placed back into ERP LN. The processing of large amount of text can take serveral hours. It is no problem if an already converted text is converted again. After running the conversion a report is created with the amount of the converted text data. In the same report there is a section with the amount of text data which is not converted or created read or write problems. In the specified logfile, you can find which specific text file went wrong en what the problems are. Related topics To use From and To fields |
