Changing the character set in RoboHelp 7 file converted from 5

The character set of the output files for WinHelp defaults to
utf-8. How can the default be set to windows-1252 per project or
for all projects in RoboHelp 7?

This is related to the posting - "RoboHelp 7 (with patch) IE6
does not display popup field definitions". Somewhere in our
environment the character set is getting changed to western
european (ISO) for the pages that do not load initially in IE6/XP
from the OAS even though the code generated by RoboHelp is utf-8.
The WebHelp generated in RoboHelp v5 has a characterset of
windows-1252. None of the pages with the character set of
windows-1252 have a problem loading (or changing the character
set). The problem may be on the OAS or the single signon
layer.

  • Website not displaying correctly. Firefox is changing the character set to Western (ISO-8859-1) automatically.

    Normally I have set Firefox (or it's set by default) to Character Set Unicode (UTF-8) and everything displays perfectly. I've never had a problem before.
    Now however, whenever I upload my own website, for some bizarre reason on that particular tab (and only that tab) the Character Set is changed over to Western (ISO-8859-1) and then there's a few characters within my site that do not display correctly, namely apostrophes and hypens.
    It definitely isn't my software (Serif WebPlus X4) because the page displays correctly in every other browser. Plus it displays correctly in Firefox if I change the Character set back to Unicode.
    PS The site is a work in progress

    That happens because the server sends a content-type (<b>text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1</b>) via the HTTP response headers and in that case that content type prevails. The page code is saved with an UTF-8 byte order mark () that you see in this case.

  • How to change the character set of the D/b

    Hello All,
    When i issue the command
    ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET UTF8
    It gives me the error that I can only change the character set to a superset of the existing character set.
    Is there any way i can change the character set without recreating the database.
    TIA
    Naveen

    The existing character set is the basis for the new character set. This is fair enough, because the character set determines how the actual data is stored in the database. Allowing new characters is a minor change: completely re-encoding your entire database is not.
    I'm afraid export, recreate and import is your only option.
    Cheers, APC

  • How to change the character set encoding not being a superset one

    HI, i have a fresh installed database, but i realize the character set support in my client is not good enough, since its a not production database i want to change the character set encoding to anothor one not being a superset of the old one.
    I have tried the "ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET WE8MSWIN1252" but it fails claiming i need a superset one.
    I guess its just a single steps to do it, i have all the privileges, just not the time to reinstall and setup everything.

    Do you know what that does to the existing data, though? My hunch would be that any characters which have a different binary representation in the source & target character sets would be corrupted.

  • How to change the Character Set from AL32UTF8 to WE8DEC

    Hello!!
    I want to know how to change the character set in the database from AL32UTF8 to WE8DEC.
    I tried to use the comand ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET but I got an error because WE8DEC is not a superset of AL32UTF8.
    I need to import tables from a server that uses WE8DEC. So when I do the import to my server, wich has AL32UTF8 , I can't import the rows that include an Ñ.
    So I want to change the caracter set to WE8DEC. How can I do it?
    Is it needed to change the language configuration? The remote server has AMERICAN_AMERICA, and my server has MEXICAN SPANISH_MEXICO (both uses text in spanish).
    Thanks a lot!!

    When you export from WE8DEC server what did you use
    for NLS_LANG char set? And when importing?
    The export was done in another computer because I can't do the export in the server (I have 10g, and the remote server has 9i and the export is not working). In my server, when I tried to do the import, the NS_LANG value was MEXICAN SPANISH_MEXICO.WE8MSWIN1252.
    When I try to import to my database I got the error:
    import done in WE8DEC character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
    import server uses AL32UTF8 character set (possible charset conversion)
    export client uses WE8MSWIN1252 character set (possible charset conversion)

  • Precautions i need to take when changing the Character set

    Hi,
    ORACLE VERSION: 10G Release 1 (10.1.0.3.0)
    I am going to change my database's characterset from AL32UTF8 to WE8MSWIN1252 character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set. So i have few questions for you.
    1. What is the difference between Character Set and National Character set? Do i have to set both?
    2. What are precautions that i need to take while changing the characterset?
    3. What are JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES and AQ_TM_PROCESSES parameters in Plain English? Why do i have to set these parameters to 0 as mentioned in this post below.
    Storing Chinese in Oracle Database

    1) The database character set controls (and specifies) the character set of CHAR & VARCHAR2 columns. The national character set controls the character set of NCHAR & NVARCHAR2 columns.
    2) Please make sure that you read the section of the Globalization manual that discusses character set migration. In particular, going from UTF-8 to Windows-1252 is going to require a bit more work since the latter is a subset (and not a strict binary subset) of the former.

  • How to change the character set?

    Platform is win2000 and oracle 8.17. I need to write data in Bulragian. Automatic character converter in oracle didn't work! Database is created already!
    Is there any function in pl/sql or Java that can convert character set in cl8mswin1251? When I read the data from database there are only ?????
    Thank you in advance!

    I'm not sure what you're asking here. "Will it be ok" for what?
    Assuming
    - you read the chapter I linked to,
    - ran the character set scanner,
    - the character set scanner indicated that all your existing data is properly encoded ISO 8859-1
    - the character set scanner indicated that all the ISO 8859-1 data could be converted to Windows-1252
    - all the national character set data was properly encoded in whatever national character set the database had
    - you did the export properly
    - you did the import properly
    - your client NLS_LANG settings are all correct
    then sure, everything should be OK.
    If you skipped one of these steps, I would again strongly encourage you to read the chapter I linked to originally as well as the Metalink article others have pointed you to.

  • How to define the character set of an outbound EDI batch in BizTalk 2010?

    I have some EDIFACT files with a character set of UNOC though lowercase strings and umlaute should be allowed. These files should be batched in an outbound EDIFACT file. But the batching orchestration of the related send port throws some validation errors.
    If I convert the strings to uppercase characters everything's working fine. So it seems that the outbound batching orchestration uses the UNOA character set internally for the validation of the EDIFACT files...
    How can I change the character set of the outbound batching orchestration in BizTalk 2010? No settings found regarding the character set of outbound batching orchestration in the party and agreement configuration so far. Thank you

    Hi Philipp,
    To define a character set in EDIFACT,
    UNA segment is used. After defining see, How Validation of an EDI Interchange Is Configured and Outbound

  • How to get the character set which i want it to be?

    i confront a problem, when using jdbc to connect to oracle8i database on solaris; because i use getBinaryStream() to read from db in "byte" reading, seemly it would use default character set on OS or database(such as EUC,etc.), not which the client i want it to be. is there anyway to take control of such code writing(i mean to change the character set when i get byte out of database, thus the byte would use NLS_LANG the same as using sqlplus setting in user env)?

    First of all read Note 581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions:
    As of point 3, it follows that direct access to the Oracle database is only allowed for tools from the areas of system administration and monitoring. If other software is used, the following actions, among other things, are therefore forbidden at database level:
    Creating database users
    Create database objects
    Querying/changing/creating data in the database
    Using ODBC or other SAP external access methods
    Are you trying this on the database server itself? If yes, then you need to install the hebrew codepages as well as hebrew fonts in order to display the data correctly.

  • Change Database Character Set to Arabic!

    Dear All,
    My database is Oracle 11gR2 On Linux platform.
    I am trying to change the character set of my database to store Arabic characters.
    This is what I am doing:
    SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    STARTUP MOUNT;
    ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
    ALTER SYSTEM SET JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=0;
    ALTER SYSTEM SET AQ_TM_PROCESSES=0;
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
    ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET INTERNAL_USE AR8ISO8859P6;
    SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    STARTUP;
    When i check:
    SQL> select value from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
    VALUE
    AR8ISO8859P6
    But still when i query data it shows it like this:
    "¿¿¿¿¿¿ç ¿¿ê ¿¿¿¿çê¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿èê¿ ¿¿¿è¿ ¿¿¿¿ê¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿â¿¿ ¿¿é ¿¿¿ è¿¿¿ ¿ê ¿¿¿¿ êè¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ 28/9 ¿ê ¿ ¿¿é ¿¿¿¿ ¿è¿¿ê èç¿¿¿ ¿è¿¿¿ âê¿¿ ¿¿¿ è¿¿â¿ ¿¿è¿"
    Can you help me to understand where is the problem and how to get through it.
    Regards, Imran

    Why on earth are you using the undocumented INTERNAL_USE command? The name alone should strongly imply that this isn't something that normal users should be playing with. It is extremely likely that you've corrupted your database.
    Do you have a backup of your database taken before you corrupted it? If so, can you restore that backup? Once you do that, tell us what character set you're starting with. If you are implying that there is existing data in the database, what character set is that data encoded with? Can you DUMP the data to verify this?

  • Change original character set

    Hello,
    I have installed the Oracle BI Standard Edition One version and I would like to change the original multi-byte character set that is defined by default to another character set single-byte (WIN1253 or ISO8859-7), is this possible? If it is possible, how can I change the character set?
    Thanks.

  • Why will CS4 not open DNG files converted from Olympus E-M1 raw files?

    For several years I have been able to use the DNG Converter to convert .ORF raw files from my Olympus E-M1 and then open them for processing in CS4. Suddenly CS4 quit recognizing these DNG files saying "Photoshop could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"
    I have not changed any preferences. I'm using E-M1 v3.0, DNG Converter v8.3.0.141 on a Mac. I have deleted DNG converter several times, even reinstalled an earlier version but nothing changes.
    However, CS4 will open DNG files converted from Pentax raw .PEF files from my K-5. Weird. It's the Olympus raw DNG conversions that won't open.
    I can view the DNG converted files in question in Mac's Preview just fine but not CS4. Any ideas will be appreciated.

    Be sure the DNG Converter's compatibility is set to provide support for your version of ACR:

  • When I load certain websites the the writing is all squashed up. I correct this by changing the character encoding setting. I am using the latest Apple Mac machine. Thanks in advance

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • Finding the character set of the export dump file
