Hi,
I don't think that it is an OSS Note that you require to implement as it appears the source data has special characters in?
What does the source data look like?
BPC has restrictions on the ID's allowed imported into BPC, and a useful OSS note explains some of these restrictions:
SAP Note 1448836 - [Link|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1448836]
You can use javascript in a conversion file to use EXTERNAL column to ' * ' so it selects all, then use js: javascript to remove special characters. You'll need to do a bit of research into exactly how you'd set it up but the SAP help file has some guideance here:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc70/helpdata/en/81/94a8a5febd40268d5c59b4fc31be37/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc70/helpdata/en/81/94a8a5febd40268d5c59b4fc31be37/content.htm]
Hope it helps,

Special character issue while loading data from SAP HR through VDS

Hello,
We have a special character issue, while loading data from SAP HR to IdM, using a VDS and following the standard documentation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e09fa547-f7c9-2b10-3d9e-da93fd15dca1?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
French accent like (é,à,è,ù), are correctly loaded but Turkish special ones (like : Ş, İ, ł ) are transformed into u201C#u201D in Idm.
The question is : does someone know any special setting to do in the VDS or in IdM for special characters to solve this issue??
Our SAP HR version is ECC6.0 (ABA/BASIS7.0 SP21, SAP_HR6.0 SP54) and we are using a VDS 7.1 SP5 and SAP NW IdM 7.1 SP5 Patch1 on oracle 10.2.
Thanks

We are importing directly to the HR staging area, using the transactions/programs "HRLDAP_MAP", "LDAP" and "/RPLDAP_EXTRACT", then we have a job which extract data from the staging area to a CSV file.
So before the import, the character appears correctly in SAP HR, but by the time it comes through the VDS to the IDM's temporary table, it becomes "#".
Yes, our data is coming from a Unicode system.
So, could it be a java parameter to change / add in the VDS??
Regards.

Special Character Issue in Country Name Côte d'Ivoire encoding ISO-88509-1

soa suite 10.1.3.4
I am reading an xml file using file adapter. The file has encoding type ISO-88509-1 and the country name is coming as <country_name>Côte d'Ivoire</country_name>.
When I see the BPEL instance, this character is converted to "C\234te d'Ivoire" jumbled character. The target endpoints receives the country name in jumbled format only. I can't change the incoming file format. Is there a way I can read it properly and keep the special character as it is during SOA process.
Any idea how can I progress in this issue?

Any idea on this ? My soa suite server is on Solaris and the folder where I am reading the file from is on Windows.

XML Data from PL/SQL procedure -- special character issue (eBS)

Hi All,
I am developing a report, where the XML data is created by a PL/SQL procedure. I chose this approach over a data template, since there is a lot of processing involved in producing the actual data, and it cannot be done by select-statements alone. The report is run as a regular concurrent request.
So far so good. There is a problem though. Every time the data contains special characters (ä, ö, umlauts), the concurrent request is completed with a warning, the log confirms that "One or more post-processing actions failed.", also there is no output file. The XML structure is valid as such. The report runs smoothly and produces the output when the XML data does not contain special characters.
I am producing the XML lines by using the standard FND_FILE.PUT_LINE procedure: Fnd_File.put_line(Fnd_File.output, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'); This seems like a character encoding issue, but declaring the UTF-8 encoding in this way does not solve the problem.
Any ideas what can be done to fix this? I have been searching Metalink but cannot find an answer. Many thanks for your kind help.
Best Regards, Matilda

Hi Rajesh,
One idea I have, is that it might be possible to modify the PL/SQL code into a "before report" type trigger, attached to a data template. The code would process the data and write the lines into a temporary table, from which the data template could retrieve them in a simple select-query. However, it would be neat to be able to solve this without adding an extra layer of processing, since BI Publisher supposedly supports PL/SQL procedures as the data source.
The data in this case is all correct, special characters are an intrinsic feature of the Finnish language. :)
Best Regards, Matilda

Special Character Issue in outbound file(Extra length)

I have a big issue when generating output file.
I have data like party_name=00CONSTRUÇÕES JOSÉ VIEIRA, LDA.
The data is for Spain client and so the need those special characters.
So in the cursor query I used following convert function like CONVERT(TRIM(hp.party_name),'WE8ISO8859P1')
and appending into the file
v_output_file := UTL_FILE.fopen (v_path, v_filename, 'A');
p_record:=SUBSTR(RPAD(NVL(TRIM(l_sales_order_details_rec (i).party_name),
30,
),1,30)--- All these funtions I applied because, i am trying to avoid that issue.
and then
UTL_FILE.put_line (v_output_file, p_record)
When inserting into file it inserts 2 spaces extra(only if there is a character like Ç and/or Õ, not for É) for which the length its becoming 32(actually should be 30). And so effecting the subsequent values of that record.
Any one please let me know any ideas, this is very critical for me. Thanks in advance.

Please post the details of the application release, database version and OS.

Special character issue/ encoding of characters

Hi All,
My scenario is-
IDoc -> Soap lookup-> soap lookup----> Jdbc
here I am using 3 mappings inside the same operation mapping. I am sending Idoc from ECC and doing a lookup using SOAP twice and updating a table.
now the problem is that when I am sending the Idoc having values some special characters the first mapping executed successfully but the when it is doing the lookup ( first SOAP call) it is failing to return proper and correct values, it is returning the values as "SAX" and when I checked the soap adapter used for lookup it is in error for SAX parsing with the below error text-
Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.
I have tried to use one java mapping to transform the encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 and other way around and also even tried using the standard soap adapter module- XMBWS.XMLEncoding as ISO-8859-1 but did not work.
for e.g - if IDoc contains character Ñ in any field it is not calling the SOAP call properly and returning the values as SAX and adapter is erroring out as mentioned above.
Please advise.
Thanks
Vineet

When you use an UDF and you have programmed a Sax parser, then make sure, that the parser works with the correct encoding. So when the result of the webservice is ISO-8859-1, then assign this to the parser.
In principle the encoding should be part of XML header. Make sure that the encoding of the response is the same as declared in XML header.

Special character issue with Adobe Reader 11.03 in hyperlink path

Adobe Reader changes a [ character in a hyperlink path to a % sign, thus changing the path and destroying the link,when opened in version 11.03. This does not happen with 11.01. This is a serious problem for our customers with a critical linked document, because the customers are generall not tech savvy, and categorically refuse workarounds. They will not adjust their Adobe version for fear of security issues. Can this be corrected in a future version of Adobe Reader?

Special character issue in JSP

How to handle the special characters like %,(Option+' in Mac),(Option+" in Mac),+,& etc entered within a string and passed on to another page through AJAX, where it is retrieved using request.getParameter().

Master data loading special character issue in bw

Hi ,
while extracting Material master data from r/3 system due to special characters load is getting failed even after enabling in RSKC.
is there any length restriction in RSKC to enable special characters like 20 or 30 only.
If i specify the "ALL_CAPITAL " in RSKC what exactly it will do .
Regards
Ravi

Hi,
No small letters are permitted for characteristic values (in the InfoObject maintenance). It depends, however, on the language being used as to whether a character is capitalized.
It is guaranteed that the characters ' !"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' are capitalized in all languages. Thus these characters are permitted for characteristic values.
Expl:
The bit combination, that stands for an 'Ö' in German, displays a small 'sch' in the Russian character set. In this way, a German 'Ö' is not capitalized in Russian.
In the German character set, the bit combination shows a "pictured reflected P" for the Russian capitals "SCH". The conversion of small letters into capitals is, therefore, language-dependent.
If you have a system, that delivers you permitted characters other than ' !"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', you can enter these characters here. The system the checks whether these characters are capitalized in all of the installed languages in your system . If this is the case, then these characters are also accepted in characteristic values.
You should only add additional characters to the permitted characters, if you have already installed all the languages that you wish to use later. All languages that you install subsequently are not checked.
It is possible that the validity of these additional characters is then not guaranteed, and the selectability of the entire master data is, therefore, put at risk.

Exception caught when special character sent to lookup

Hi Experts,
When I sent a special character in the name field via "Address-Look-up (Java-Look-up)" an exception caught - (The exception is not visible - so used a value which get populated to all the target field where the loop-up is used). Receiver URL correctly maintained for the look-up channel.
please suggest how to resolve this special character issue.
regards
Pankaj Rajak

Pankaj,
Can you explain your end to end scenario so that we identify where the problem is ?
Also, this sometimes happens when the one of the two systems which are communicating are not Unicode Compliant. Please check if this is the issue is due to this.

External Table - Issues With Special Character.

I have an external table that reads from a fixed length file. The file is expected to contain special characters. In my case the word containing special character is "Göteborg". Because "ö" is a special character, looks like Oracle is considering it as 2 bytes. That causes the trouble. The subsequent fields in the files get shifted by 1 byte thereby messing up the data. Has anyone faced the issue before. So far we have tried the following solution:
Changed the value of NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
Tried Setting the Database Character set to UTF-8
Tried changing the NLS_LENGTH_SYMMANTIC to CHAR instead of BYTE using ALTER SYSTEM
Tried changing the External table characterset to: AL32UTF8
Tried changing the External table characterset to: UTF-8
Nothing works. Other details include:
• File is UTF-8 encoded
• Operating System : RHEL
• Database: Oracle 11gR2
Any thing else that I might be missing? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Special character display issue

Hi,
I've been struggling with this issue for some time now and
have not yet found a solution. Basically I am trying to display the
letter 'á' in bold within a dynamic text field, where the text
is parsed from some internal script.
There is nothing wrong with the script as it works for other
special characters. I have embedded the correct glyphs, and even
tried all glyphs.
I have tried several methods of encoding the character in the
scipt such as Unicode Escape, Numeric Entity and URL encoding; no
luck with either. For other special characters I have simply
embedded the glyph and typed the special character into my script
using the charmap instructions and they have worked fine but for
some reason when I want to make it bold it just wont display. The
method I've used to embolden the text is show below, please note
this has worked fine for other characters and the bold version of
the font contains the glyph in the charmap.
"<font face=\"AvantGarde LT
Bold\">Lávese</font>"
This results in: Lvese (in bold) skipping the á
I'm starting to wonder if this is a problem with the software
itself. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to give them a go.
Thanks in advance for any assistance
P.S. my e-mail is [email protected]

Pl identify which exact version of 10g, along with the database characterset.
Going by what you have stated, your database characterset is most likely WE8ISO8859P1, which does not recognize the single quote (or apostrophe) or the bullet point.
You will need to use a characterset that supports these characters - Oracle recommends AL32UTF8
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch6unicode.htm
If you can recreate this database, use AL32UTF8 then perform your conversion.
