Troubleshooting
Problem
The job finishes successfully but fails to extract the data correctly.
Symptom
An ABAP Extract job using the RFC data transfer method finishes but fails to extract multi-byte SAP data correctly.
Resolving The Problem
The following conditions must be met for the job to work correctly in this scenario:
- The columns in the ABAP Extract stage must have the Extended attribute set to Unicode for all character/string type columns.
- The NLS map of the receiving stage has tobe set to a Unicode map.
If the extended attribute is not shown in the ABAP Extract stage, right click the stage, select "Grid style" and set the parameter "Data Representation Type" to "binary".
