How Data Integrator supports multiple character sets in a single ETL transaction

When using Data Integrator (DI) to process a mix of multi-byte and single-byte data, it is recommended that you use UTF-8 for the job server codepage. You can, however, use different codepages for the individual datastores.Imagine this situation : Great Big Company Inc. wants to create a global customer database. To do this, Great Big Company Inc. must read from a database of US customers, and a database of Korean customers. Great Big Company Inc. then wants to load both sets of customers into a single database.Can DI manage these requirements? Of course. The codepage is the thing.

I've never seen this used the way you are using it. In my experience the only way to do this would be to execute a single SQL statement that returns multiple result sets - you are trying to append two SQL statements.
You could define an in-line procedure wrapping your two select statements, or you could define a stored procedure to do the same thing. Then (either way) use CallableStatement to execute the call to the procedure.

Multiple character sets on a single page

JDev 11.1.1.5 - WLS 10.0.3.5
I have an application that needs to have some fields in a different character set (like Amharic) and some in English.
These are fixed - so when the user enters the field - it should already be in the different language.
I use UTF8 for all my jspx. The fonts are unicode. The database is setup for NVARCHAR.
I am using ADF.
What do I need to do to create this kind of page? Where do I install the fonts? And how do I make the Input Text default to the appropriate character set for display/input?

No, you can only have one <f:view> per JSP page (including any pages that page includes), and the locale must be the same for the complete response (because it's also used when the post-back request is parsed).
It's hard to say from your description if this makes sense or not, but why don't you use static text for the part that is always in German, and only localize the parts of the page that needs it?

Transferring Data between Databases with Character Sets UTF08 and US7ASCII

Hi,
I am trying to transfer data from Oracle 10g (character set :UTF08) to Oracle 8i ( character set: US7ASCII). I have tried the transfer using the DBLinks and found that there is no way the data could be transferred from 10g to Oracle 8i.
The last option available is to use staging database for transfer. The staging database would be Oracle 10g only but the character set would be US7ASCII. I am expecting that since the character set is US7ASCII, this would be able to get compatible with Oracle 8i (US7ASCII). Secondly, Transfer from 10g to staging 10g should also work, since staging 10g would support UTF08 character set.
Kindly tell me if this option would work or if there is any other way around.
Thanks

You possibly have a fundamental problem,which is more important than any technical issues. If your UTF8 (Unicode) database stores non-english characters you will lose these characters when transferring.

Multiple Character set for NLS

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 8i database. Is it possible to set the different character set for the database? The requirement is to support the two different character set data, one (main) Japanese character set and other Simplified Japanese. Or is there any other way in which i can store these data (Japanese & Chinese)?
Thanks & Regards,
Jayesh

Please don't get me wrong. Currently it is set in the windows database. I did not set nls_lang at the command prompt before import into windows. However nls_lang is already set and it is character set WE8ISO8859P1 the same as the value I specified in creation script, besides the other two values AMERICAN, AMERICA. They are now same in both solaris and windows. Only the character sets are different because I specified a different one. So, is it ok or do I now need another fresh import this time with nls_lang set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 ?

How to add a new character set encoding?

Hello,
can anybody please explain to me, how to add a new character set encoding to Mac OS Tiger?
I have two Mac laptops, a new one with Snow Leopard and an older one with Tiger, and on the old one i cannot use or enable anywhere the "Russian (DOS)" character set encoding, which i need to be able to use some old text files.
On the Snow Leopard, this encoding is present in the list of available encodings of TextWrangler, but not in TIger.
If i have understood correctly, this is not a problem of TextWrangler, and the same encodings are available systemwide.
So, the question is: how to add new encodings to Tiger (or to Mac OS in general)?
Thanks.

I think possibly that's in the Get Info window of Finder?
I don't think either that or the input menu have any effect on available encoding choices. Adding languages to system prefs/international/languages can do that, but once you have added Russian there, I don't know of any way to add an additional Russian encoding (there are quite a number of them).

Matching across multiple character sets

Would like to know whether anyone has attempted matching across multiple character sets, for example, between English and Japanese: what are the pitfalls to avoid, what are the best practices, and what you would like to see from application/tools perspective as an ideal solution. thanks

If you upgrade to Logic Pro, you'll get WaveBurner as part of the package which helps you do this, including tweaking your pauses between tracks, fades etc.
If you have Toast, you can do it there too.
If you don't have any 3rd. party software, the work around would be to assemble all your songs in order, end to end in a new Logic file, and listen to all your tracks and adjust the relative levels between songs, then bounce out the individual tracks which have volume changes with their new volume settings. Finally you could then use any burning app such as [SimplyBurns|http://bit.ly/c1oglP] to create CDs or bounce them out in Logic with the additional .mp3 option.
Obviously it's important to listen to your material in order, in context, as some songs will be at the wrong subjective level depending on the tracks either side in the placement. This isn't really important in digital distribution where your material probably won't be listened to as a whole, but as individual downloads.

Now I am able to install 2 separate(One of 10.3.4 and 10.3.6) instances with two different users,In two different directories.
I have installed the weblogic 10.3.6 version with a user webadmin and installed node manager with port 5556. This is working fine.
The main problem here is :
In the second instance (10.3.4 ) installed with a a different user and gave the port number to NodeManager as 1600 and its not getting started. Its throwing error and also after some errors in the terminal am able to see that its reverting to port number 5556 only.
What might be the issue?
I have to install 2 different versions of weblogic in a single Server. But am failing with NodeManager. What Can I do to have multiple weblogic instances with multiple versions in a single server ?
Can anyone suggest a resolution for this please ?
Thanks in advance.

How do i combine multiple pdf file into a single pdf file?

how do i combine multiple pdf files into a single pdf file?

The thread was started in early March and it's Mid-April, I know this very well. The OP of this thread posted a very common and simple question or maybe he/she would have resolved this. For an Adobe Acrobat user it's not at all difficult to combine multiple PDF files into one. But to combine PDF files full version of Adobe Acrobat is mainly required, otherwise PDF files can't be combined. For example, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. These simple steps are mainly required to combine PDF files:
Open Adobe Acrobat.
Click on Combine and click on Merge files into a single PDF.
A window will be appearing, click on Add Files and select the PDF files you want to combine.
Arrange the selected files in any order with the help of Move Up and Move Down button.
Now click on Combine File and the selected PDF files will be combined within a few seconds.
A new PDF file will be created. Click on Save As and name this new PDF file. Then, click on Save.
A new PDF file will be created and all the selected PDF files are combined in it. The steps shown above might be different in other versions of Adobe Acrobat. Other than this, some third-party PDF merge software are also available. Most of them are available with a demo version for free evaluation. I've heard much about SysInfoTools PDF Merge software on other forums and directories and it's demo version is freely available. One may check its demo version if Adobe Acrobat (full version) is not available.

How to change the database character set on physical standby database?

Hi,
We have a database with character set WE8ISO8859P1 and migrated the character set to WE8MSWIN1252 using csscan/csalter scripts. This database has a physical standby database setup also and after the migration, the physical standby database is still showing the character set as WE8ISO8859P1. How can I change the characterset on the physical standby? I raised a Service Request with Oracle, and they said that recreating the standby database is the only supported way of changing the char set on the standby database. Is this true?
Thanks,
Sreekanth

Thank you, Robert, for your reply.
The standby is in sync with the primary.
see below

How to fix ORA-12704: character set mismatch

I am newish to oracle and am trying to work out why the following doesn't work:
create table utest(test nvarchar2(100));
insert into utest values('fish');
select test from utest union select '' from utest;
I need to be able to do a union on a table with an nvarchar2 fields, where on union, some of the columns are simply ''.
Not quite sure how to work out which oracle version exactly this is, we are given remote access via JDBC.

Hi
i have a similar issue on a customer. unfortunatly i am not able to modify the commands because i am not the developer. but i see in the logfile, that a ORA-12703 - Character Set Missmatch Occours after a specifiec command. after some investigation i found the command:
SELECT * FROM (SELECT DISTINCT ATTACHMENTID, FTN.USERID, FTN.MSGID, FTN.TYPEFLD, DS.DOCSERVERID, DOCSERVERPATH, DSTYPE,DSENABLED, DA.DATAARCHIVEID,FILENAME, STARTINGPOS, COMPRESSEDSIZE, UNCOMPRESSEDSIZE, MSGDATEHIGH, MSGDATELOW, FLAGS, STORAGEMETHOD, SUBJECT, FROMFLD FROM CONTAINSATTACHMENT CA RIGHT JOIN FT_NOTIFY FTN ON CA.MSGID=FTN.MSGID , PROFILE P, PROFILELOCATION PL, DATAARCHIVE DA, DOCUMENTSERVER DS WHERE FTN.MSGID >= 547609 AND FTN.MSGID <= 557609 AND P.MSGID=PL.MSGID AND DS.DOCSERVERID=DA.DOCSERVERID AND DA.DATAARCHIVEID=PL.DATAARCHIVEID AND FTN.MSGID=P.MSGID AND FTN.SEARCH_INDEX_ID=2 AND TYPEFLD='A' UNION SELECT DISTINCT NULL AS ATTACHMENTID, FTN.USERID, FTN.MSGID, FTN.TYPEFLD,0 AS DOCSERVERID,'' AS DOCSERVERPATH,0 AS DSTYPE,0 AS DSENABLED,0 AS DATAARCHIVEID,'' AS FILENAME,0 AS STARTINGPOS,0 AS COMPRESSEDSIZE,0 AS UNCOMPRESSEDSIZE,0 AS MSGDATEHIGH,0 AS MSGDATELOW,-1 AS FLAGS, 0 AS STORAGEMETHOD,'' AS SUBJECT, '' AS FROMFLD FROM FT_NOTIFY FTN WHERE FTN.MSGID >= 547609 AND FTN.MSGID <= 557609 AND FTN.SEARCH_INDEX_ID=2 AND TYPEFLD='R') ORDER BY MSGID
when i replace the "'' AS..." in the bottom of the script with the "cast( '' as nvarchar(255)) AS..." it works as expected. as i sayd, i cant change the code but we have the system working for ages and after we set up a new server, it stops working - so can it be possible that other versions of Oracle (Server or Client) support this without a cast? Or is there some "Special Setting" what can help here?
Thank you in advance

How do you define which character set gets embedded with a font embedded in the library (i.e. Korean)?

I have project that uses a shared fonts. The fonts are all
contained in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's
library and are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.
The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from
external XML files. The text is formatted via styles contained in a
CSS object.
This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different
languages.
Everything works great with one exception: I can’t
figure out how to set which character set gets exported for runtime
sharing. i.e. I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean
characters, change the XML based text to Korean and have the text
display correctly.
I’ve tried changing the language of my OS (WinXP) and
re-exporting but that doesn’t work correctly. I’ve also
tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes) as outlined here:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menue.
I’ve also tried the method outlined here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275
to no avail.
I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to
embed language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in
the library but I have yet to discover what it is.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275

Thanks Jim,
I know that it is easy to specify the language you want to
use when setting the embed font properties for a specific text
field but my project has hundreds of text fields and I'm setting
the font globally by referencing the font symbols in a single swf.
I have looked at the info you've pointed out but wasn't
helped by it. What I'd like to be able to do is to tell Flash to
embed a language specific character-set for the font symbols in the
library. It currently is only embedding Latin characters even
though I know the fonts specified contains characters for other
languages.
For example. I have a font symbol in the libary named
"Font1". When I look at its properties I can see it is spcified as
Tahoma. I know the Tahoma font on my system contains the characters
for Korean but when I compile the swf it only contains Latin
characters (gylphs) - this corresponds to the language of my OS (US
English). I want to know how to tell Flash to embedd the Korean
language charaters rather than or as well as the Latin characters
for any given FONT SYMBOL. If I could do that, then, when I enter
Korean text into my XML files the correct characters will be
available to Flash. As it is now, the characters are not available
and thus the text doesn' t display.
Make sense?
Many thanks,
Mike

Need a Data Integration for multiple ERP systems

We are doing some research into a data integration layer to our BW 7.3/BOBJ 4.0 from multiple ERPs. Of course we are looking at Data Services and Information Steward in the BOBJ suite but just looking for anybody's recommendations on the topic.
What technology platform do you use to do the extract, transform, load processes from multiple backend sources into BW? Any you would advise us to avoid?

Hello Edward,
The answer depends on multiple factors.
Some pointers:
Volume and growth of db in scope planning (Federation vs replication )
If data federation is where you want to move data services / BO tools will be ideal
If your data is coming from multiple ERP systems you can utilize there delta queue to load data via data services (in case of SAP)
Use native DB connect/UD connect functionalities in BW as with BW 7.3 its delta capable.
Moving to BW 7.4 you will have SDA to solve that problem of integration to Non - SAP data into your EDW landscape
These are pointers but I would say talk to enterprise architects and look into the foresight of wheyare you want to move your EDW platform.
Cheers!

XML as target file - how can i change its character set?

Hi all,
i need to create my target as XML-file und to save all my information there, but with other character set (not with default). In other words i must have in XML-file in header
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>.
Now i have
<?xml version="1.0"?>.
What can i do?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

Data load uses wrong character set, where to correct? APEX bug/omission?

Hi,
I created a set of Data Load pages in my application, so the users can upload a CSV file.
But unlike the Load spreadsheet data (under SQL Workshop\Utilities\Data Workshop), where you can set the 'File Character Set', I didn't see where to set the Character set for Data Load pages in my application.
Now there is a character set mismatch, "m³/h" and "°C" become "m�/h" and "�C"
Where to set?
Seems like an APEX bug or at least omission, IMHO the Data Load page should ask for the character set, as clients with different character sets could be uploading CSV.
Apex 4.1 (testing on the apex.oracle.com website)

Hello JP,
Please give us some more details about your database version and its character set, and the character set of the CSV file.
>> …But unlike the Load spreadsheet data (under SQL Workshop\Utilities\Data Workshop), where you can set the 'File Character Set', I didn't see where to set the Character set for Data Load pages in my application.
It seems that you are right. I was not able to find any reference to the (expected/default) character set of the uploaded file in the current APEX documentation.
>> If it's an APEX omission, where could I report that?
Usually, an entry on this forum is enough as some of the development team members are frequent participants. Just to be sure, I’ll draw the attention of one of them to the thread.
Regards,
Arie.
