BW load - support Spanish characters

Hi,
Our ECC system supports English and Spanish languages. We have a situation when Mexican vendor (created in English on ECC) has Spanish character ó in the field name (LFA1-NAME1). This record failed on BW side saying u201CVersion 'RADIOMÓVIL ' is not validu201D
I am looking for the permanent BW solution to accept all possible characters (example: á, é; ñ etc.) that exist in the Spanish language.
Please donu2019t suggest adding permitted additional characters in BW via transaction RSKC. There is a limit of 72 characters and we have French and Portuguese languages on the horizon.
Environment:
SAP ECC 6.0
SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0
Thanks in advance!
Alex

ALL_CAPITAL supports most of the spl char even cyrillic letters
Please execute in RSKC

SQL * Loader with Spanish data!

Hi All,
I have a requirement to load Spanish data into a table. I am using SQL*Loader control file to load the data.
Everything is fine, but the Spanish charecters are not inserting as they have to. It is inserting some junk charecters.
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Are you using init.ora (pfile) or spfile? Anyway you can do this
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
sql> create pfile='/location_to_pfile/init.ora' from spfile;
File Created
Modify init.ora file and add parameter to support spanish characters
sql>shutdown immediate;
sql>startup pfile='/path_to_pfile/init.ora'; -- YOu should be able mount and open and successfully
Test your data using sqlldr and if it is doing what you are expected it do then.
sql>shutdown immediate;
sql>create spfile from pfile='/path_to_pfile/init.ora';
File Created
sql>startup;
sql>show parameter you_parameter_nameor you can try this to
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
sql> alter system set parameter_name=value scope=both sid='*';
or
sql>alter system set paramter_name=value sid='*';
sql> show parameter parameter_name;
Test your data using sqlldr Regards

Support for English and Spanish Characters

I have created a database with character set WE8iso8859P1. Some of my tables that I imported from MS Access Database using ODBC contain English as well as Spanish characters. When I select the same from the database I just get ? for the non-English characters. What should I do to see the Spanish characters as well?

In the timeline, next to the audio (on the left) is a small drop down box which lets you set the language for the track. You'll see 'En' in both of them at the moment, and you need to change the Spanish one to be for Spanish. You should then be able to complete the build.

Embedding Spanish characters

Hey, I'm building a bi-lingual tool (english and spanish)
that uses all dynamic text fields. Problem: special Spanish
characters are being dropped, even though I have specified them
within the fields' embed-character sets.
The piece is built as such: all copy is stored as nodes on
two data objects – one english, one spanish. Texts are then
populated into the dynamic text fields from the active language's
object. I have specified
"ÁáÉéÍíÓóÚúÜüÑñ¡¿"
as characters to embed. However, the special characters are
displaying incorrectly (or not at all). For example: "Español"
displays as "Espaol". I also ran into a scenario where the "í"
gylph (as in "Sí") displays as a copyright symbol (©).
If anyone has any insight on this, I'd GREATLY appreciate
it.

How comes the text into the movies? If it's loaded from a
textfile, make sure it's saved in UTF-8/Unicode format. In xml
files, you can include this also in the xml header, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
but it's more important that the text is saved in the right
format, then Flash should display it right.
Here's more on that:

HTML + using spanish characters

Hi
If this is a dumb question - forgive me.
Note this is for a site that will be in English & Spansih
(translated pages
in Spanish)
But if I want to include spanish characters on a site do I
need to replace
each spanish character with ascii code or is there another
way to get the
characters to display
e.g.
resúmenes - do i have to enter it into the html as
resúmenes
also
When I view the pages on my pc the spanish characters display
correctly.
Once the pages are uploaded the spanish characters do not
display - why
would this happen?
Thanks

Thanks david for the explaination.
So now I need to figure out how I can save my html as utf-8
without using
notepad (I don't have dreamweaver and have used up my trial
period).
Any one know of any other way of creating a utf-8 html file?
thanks

Encoding Spanish Characters

I've read that AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256 supports both Arabic and Latin.
When I insert data from .NET to Oracle, accented spanish characters are being replaced by question marks.
Does AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256 support spanish or I'm missing something in my configuration?!
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Probably UTF-8 (which would be the AL32UTF8 or UTF8 character set depending on the Oracle version). That is a variable width character set, so one character will be stored in between 1 and 4 bytes. That has implications for data storage as well as for how you go about declaring fields since VARCHAR2(10) allocates, by default 10 bytes, which would be enough for between 2 and 10 characters depending on the characters you enter. In 9i and later, if memory serves, you can set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR from BYTE to change that default so that a VARCHAR2(10) allocates 10 characters of storage space. That will only affect new table definitions, though, it won't change existing definitions.

Using special characters (Spanish characters) in Activities name

Hi everyone,
?:| Does anyone knows if I need to do any extra configuration in my Operating System/Data Base if I'm using special characters (accents) in activities/transitions name. Is there any problem using these type of characters?
Thanks a lot.
Edited by varriaga at 01/04/2007 2:17 PM

in ALBPM 5.7 you don't need any specific setup to use spanish characters, since we store all information as NVARCHARS.
In Studio, we store projects files in UTF-8, so no problem either.

PS: you are just asking or you do have a problem? if you do, contact support and describe your problem.

Spanish characters on Iplanet 6.0 SP5

Hi, a couple of days ago I installed Iplanet 6.0 SP5 on a solaris platform but spanish characters like � � � � � � are not recognize it when I tried to get a web page with those characters.
I already made a research on this forums for a solution, but there is not anough information.
Any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks

There's a big difference between the set-cache-control SAF and the HttpServletResponse.addHeader API. set-cache-control understands the HTTP protocol version in use and, if that version supports Cache-control header fields, adds a Cache-control header. HttpServletResponse.addResponse blindly adds any header you specify.
If you want to use HttpServletResponse.addHeader to add a Cache-control header to a response in Web Server, you can do so. The meaning of that header isn't defined by the HTTP/1.0 protocol, however.

Loading Non-English Characters using VBA and BAPI

I am trying to load Non-English characters (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc.) into a SAP Table using BAPI and VBA. I have set the connection language and codepage values but when I run the tool, the non-English characters display as ????? or #####. Do you know how to fix this issue?
Thanks!

IPlanet setting to properly display Spanish characters in PDF Document?

I have a bilingual PDF document (Spanish and English). The document displays correctly on multiple other systems (Unix/Weblogic, NT4, IIS), but when I move it up to my server that is running iPlanet, the Spanish characters do not display properly. Since it displays fine in other environments, I am guessing it is a setting that needs to be changed in iPlanet and not something that needs to be changed with my PDF document. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much in advance.

Hi,
I am not sure if you are referring to the users creating your forms or the users using your forms.
In terms of typing charactes if the keyboard is set so that you can type spanish characters and the font you are in has those characters then they will be entered into the form, both when creating and filling of the form.
There is nothing specific that needs to be done to the form to allow this, it just accepts the characters that the OS passes to it from the keyboard.
(Point of note: if you are specifying a font to be used this would need to contain the characters that you want to use).
If I have misunderstood the problem then I apologise and if you provide more detail I can investigate further.

Special Spanish Characters - What do i need?

I am using Photoshop 7 to create graphics for a training series that is being translated into Spanish. I am using FCP 6.03 on a G5. What do I need from Adobe in order to create the graphics in the Spanish language? i only have access to some of the special characters of the language using the Spanish keyboard - I can show a list of the characters, but how do I use the unicode IDs of the characters in Photoshop to display the special characters? I can get the upside down ? and !, and the n with the tilde; the accented vowels are not part of the keyboard combinations.

Allowing Spanish characters in PDF forms

I'd like to develop a PDF form primarily for Spanish speaking users. Is it possible to allow Spanish characters in a PDF form? I know setting the "default locale" in LC has nothing to do with this, so is it a matter of system settings (ie. keyboard settings) on the user's machine?
Has anyone every tried this before?
Thanks
