Description

Since importing a support package stack from SAP, Winshuttle has been generating nightly dumps. 

"The current ABAP program was trying to execute an Open SQL statement
    and discovered that a value needs to be copied into the database field
    type. This copy operation resulted in data loss. Either the data could
    not be converted, the data in source was not long enough to fill the
    target, or the source was a non-character type structure.
    The value was "EN". The ABAP field has type "C" length 2 with 0
    decimal places. The target has type "C" length 1 with 0 decimal
    places."

Cause

Two character language was not accepted in SAP, after support pack update

Solution/Immediate Workaround

For Evolve and Connect :

Installer is shared with all customers by the Winshuttle Support team. This installer is built over Studio version 20.2 hence customer will need to upgrade their environment to 20.2
Connect only customer can directly use these installers, as these are upgradable.

For Foundation:

1. Open the Winshuttle Studio desktop application
2. Open Options
3. Within the Options menu, go to SAP settings
4. In SAP settings, change the Default logon language from EN to E.
5. Click OK at the bottom of the Options window

Additionally, you will need to take the following steps.

Under SAP credentials maintained in Foundation set-up, the workaround is:

- defining language as 'E' in place of 'EN'

- defining the language as 'D' in place of 'DE' 

Please note that these settings cannot be changed in mass. Additional information on this =>

Please note that if Foundation Customer is using SSO and they do not store SAP credentials on Foundation Site, they can only SAP Language without any Username and Password while saving SAP Server Credentials as per the below screenshot. 

Additional Information

Permanent solution to this issue is provided in Studio v.20.2.4. and in Studio v.20.2.8.
