Files with German Umlauts in Content server

[martin_schneider3]

Hi experts,

we have some "historic accidential" stored files in our Content Server that are unable to be accessed. There seemed to be a problem around 2008 where umlauts in filennames got written into content server with "#" character. SAP note: "1282465 - Filenames with Umlauts are stored as '#' in Content Server" is fitting quite good, but not relevant for our SAP release (702 PL11). The corrections are already in our system. But, this note tells us nothing about how to fix existing files in the content server? There isn´t any linked SAP note for this. Did anyone  encounter this problem and probably knows how to fix it. Thanks for any support on this. Martin Schneider

Dear Martin,

I searched for useful information and I found the SAP note 1612108 where the report Z_CORRECT_COMPID is mentioned. Maybe you can check this report in test mode and see if it could help to solve this issue.

Best regards,
Christoph
