Questions.
Can we have a Release Independent Transport Request What could be the short falls? How dose one Patch these BDC? What would be the effect of Non Unicode to Unicode system Import of these package? As all our systems are Non Unicode. What would be the effect of the Transport Request when its imported into system where the selected language is not English as is in our case?
