Characters Problem In MDM

Hello experts,
I have an application built in Portal 7.0 and MDM 5.1
I have a text field for eg. Name which is entered onto the portal input field as for eg" Yogesh Bhatia".
But for some reason or other in MDM it is getting stored with some invalid characters which is diplayed in MDM Data Manager with square values
For eg. "Yogesh Bhatia [] [] [] [] [] [] []"
Again seeing on portal it displays the value as "Yogesh Bhatia ########"
What can be the issue here? How can itb

Hi Yogesh,
as per you details the problem with source file there is nothing to at MDM side. how you get source file in excel or XML ??
following point may help you
1. if excel file just check field length by using len function because space will also count as character and sometime it get converted to # symbol
2. or if source file coming from SAP or any legacy system in XML or excel make sure space should not include for this field. for e.g. if your field length is 20 and name is "Yogesh Bhatia" so after counting 13 by default system will pass space for that field as length is 20 so name would be "Yogesh Bhatia#######" so if you are using any intermidiate software like XI just tructed this space after name and also you can use use MDM
Thanks,

Text fields special characters problem in forms created with ID

Hi there,
I'm creating form document with ID.
The problem with special characters appears after exporting file to interactive pdf.
When filling up text field, special characters (polish language specials in my case) are replaced by squares.
I do not know if this is a ID problem (and I should set encoding during pdf creation somehow) or Acrobat/Reader problem (tried both and also in Polish or English versions).
Some help would be appreciated.

I am Creative Cloud User and downloaded fresh ID less than 2 hours ago.. And honestly the last thing I would think about was updating.
But in fact - it was the problem.
So thank you very much for help!

Non-English characters problem

I am using Flash 8. I am trying to create foreign language
versions of my flash program, and have been using Embed on the
properties area with limited success. For example, I am trying to
display Greek characters using Static text and Arial font. There is
no embed option for this. However, when I run the swf, the correct
characters appear for some of the texts and some are just blank.
Very confusing, particularly as I have checked and they have the
same properties.
Also, I am trying to display text using actionscript, through
a dynamic text field that I can Embed the greek characters. Again,
I am experiencing a similar problem. I've even tried to use the
special char codes for the letters, and that doesn't make much
difference.
Does anyone have any ideas about what I could be missing
here? It is getting infuriating.
Thanks!!!!

but when you say "When I change keyboard layuot to Russian" does that
mean that the default on your machine or the target machine is not

Using xml schema problem (SAP MDM 7.1 Syndicator)

Good day !
I try to syndicate directory which correspond to some xml-schema and I have a problem.
I want to syndicate data from hierarchy table which have one field which have a type like lookup <Flat> (multivalued).
In XML-schema element "DEF_PRODUCT" and "DEF_PRODUCT_CODE" - attribute presents hierarchy table.
"CREDIT_PRODUCT" and childs presents linked flat table.
According idea and business rules I must get the result like this: each "DEF_PRODUCT" have N-"CREDIT_PRODUCT". One - to- many.
But when I set up all map completely and look to xml result file I start to be disappointed.
XML result file approximately must be like this:
<DEF_PRODUCT>
    <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
    <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
    <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
</DEF_PRODUCT>
but in result I have all <CREDIT_PRODUCT> in one node and child attributes.
I attach 3 pics which explain my situation.
xml-schema :[http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/6/3/upload/42ca6ca8.jpg]

Anybody can help me?
About software : SAP MDM 7.1 (7.1.04.139)
P.S: My problem can be resolved succesfully if I will use 1 <main> table and 1 <qualified flat> table.
       But in my case I must use hierarchy - structure because it most usable for business - users

If SAP MDM will present many opportunities to me I will be very glad.
I repeat I must get output xml which have the pair like "RemoteKey"="RemoteSystem" in tuple subnode.
In tuple, after your advices.
Ideally, Syndicator must present to each user ability to choose pair "RemoteKey" = "RemoteSystem" in each subnode like <LookUp> table in root (look at my example pic).
Imagine you have one root table and N-linked <lookup> tables.
Tree like this :
<main tbl>
<subtbl1/>
<subtbl2/>
<subtbl3>
     <childtbl1/>
     <childtbl2/>
</subtbl3>
</main tbl>
It's dangerous to deprive SAP MDM user to select pair "RemoteKey" = "RemoteSystem" from ROOT to ALL and LAST LEAF in abstract hierarchy. How do you think ?
Now, I haven't abilities to solve my problem using standard resources. Really ?

Metadata special characters problem

You would be forgiven for thinking it easy to add a caption for each image to identify the photographer and her credentials. Metadata is there for that purpose and the IPTC "Author" field seems an obvious choice.
However, most letters-after-your-name will contain special characters eg.
Gordon Bennett FRPS; MPAGB; EFIAP/b.
and these cause huge problems to the Adobe products that seem to have gone un guided.
If these are entered into the Metadata in the File Info panel in say Photoshop or Bridge they are recorded correctly. When reading the Metadata from file in Lightroom (Vista version) however, only the text up to the first semicolon in the above example is transferred. The same problem occurs with the slash. Thus all the Lightroom modules work on incomplete data.
(I have neither special character set as a keyword seperator in Preferences).
Is there some coding tag that can be wrapped round this text to ensure it is published correctly by the web module ?

Hi Kenneth,
Thanks very much for your comments.
In Preferences>File Handing I have de-selected the option to have Lightroom use forward slash as a keyword seperator. My understanding is that therefore it should not do so.
Do you mean that Vista overrides this? or is it simply the Vista version of Lightroom that is doing it.
I had noticed that if a comma is used to seperate keywords that both Bridge and Photoshop replaces them with semicolons and it seems that you cannot prevent this.
Do you know something about how this mechanism works and if it can be varied?
As for an answer to your question of "what shows up in the fileds" I don't think you can tell. Although you can in Bridge/Photoshop by examining the File Info panel, in Lightroom it just disappears into the "catalogue" and cannot be examined. It is displayed of course in the Lr metadata panel but that is where we started, with truncated fields !! However if you save the apparently truncated metadata xmp in Lr then force a read again in Bridge, the full data seems to still be there. Thus it would seem this is a problem specific to Lr and the way it displays metadata containing special characters.
Any further info on the Vista issue would be very welcome.

Special characters problem in navigation model

Hi dears,
I'm using Jdev 11.1.1.6.0 and trying to develop a portal application. In the app, i created a new nav. model with turkish characters. (For example "ş" or "İ" .) In runtime, i see "?" characters instead of these characters.
You can see from this : http://imgur.com/Bwqxc
I searched this problem in the previous threads; but they are not the same with my problem. And all pages' encoding is UTF-8. Does anybody help me to overcome this problem?
Thx in advance.

N'<national symbols>', being part of an SQL statement, will be converted to the database character set (WE8ISO8859P1) before being parsed. Only if the client and the database are both 10.2 or higher, the client can encode the literal appropriately so that it survives this conversion.
In earlier versions, you can do the encoding yourself. Instead of the N'<national symbols>' literal use the UNISTR function: UNISTR('\xxxx\yyyy\zzzz'), where U+xxxx, U+yyyy, U+zzzz are Unicode code points of your national characters.

[SOLVED] terminals & line drawing characters problem

I use quite some escape sequences in my bash prompt, amongst them a few that produce line drawing characters. Works fine in the virtual consoles (tty), but no terminals in X (tried xterm, terminal, urxvt) display them correctly, for some reason. My locale settings seem fine, and I've tried various fonts (including the one I use in the virtual consoles).
What could the issue be?
FYI, my bash prompt variable. Does it display correctly for you?
DRED='\e[0;31m'
DGREEN='\e[0;32m'
DYELLOW='\e[0;33m'
DBLUE='\e[0;34m'
DPURPLE='\e[0;35m'
DCYAN='\e[0;36m'
DWHITE='\e[0;37m'
LRED='\e[1;31m'
LGREEN='\e[1;32m'
LYELLOW='\e[1;33m'
LBLUE='\e[1;34m'
LPURPLE='\e[1;35m'
LCYAN='\e[1;36m'
LWHITE='\e[1;37m'
COLRESET='\e[0m'

After some detective work I have managed to come up with an explanation as well as what seems to be a working solution.
If you have not tried the prompt above, basically I tried to use some line drawing characters in my bash prompt, but these refused to display correctly under any X terminals I tried (though it looked fine on virtual consoles).
The problem was in the
\[\016\] ... \[\017\]
sequences. The \016 escape sequence is supposed to enter the alternate character set mode (common way to draw e.g. lines in text mode) while \017 returns the terminal to the standard character set. These work fine on the virtual consoles, but are apparently a no-no in (some) X terminals. If you tried the prompt you would notice that the color escape sequences worked fine, only the line drawing characters failed.
So that is the explanation part. So for the solution...
For urxvt, which is my preferred terminal emulator, the solution is quite simple. This should also work with other rxvt-derived terminals (including the popular aterm), though I have not tested this.
These terminals offer the same functionality as the virtual consoles, though the escape sequences are different. "\033(0" enters alternate charset mode while "\033(B" returns to standard charset mode. So the solution is simply to replace all previous
\[\016\] ... \[\017\]
sequences with
\[\033(0\] ... \[\033(B\]
But this poses a problem, as the virtual consoles do not recognize these sequences and you'll get the same problem as before, only in text mode instead of X. I solved this by using the PROMPT_COMMAND variable to run fgconsole every time a command is ran in bash, checking if the command is ran in tty7 (i.e. X11) or in one of the (other) virtual consoles. This is my code for the root prompt:
DRED='\e[0;31m'
DGREEN='\e[0;32m'
DYELLOW='\e[0;33m'
DBLUE='\e[0;34m'
DPURPLE='\e[0;35m'
DCYAN='\e[0;36m'
DWHITE='\e[0;37m'
LRED='\e[1;31m'
LGREEN='\e[1;32m'
LYELLOW='\e[1;33m'
LBLUE='\e[1;34m'
LPURPLE='\e[1;35m'
LCYAN='\e[1;36m'
LWHITE='\e[1;37m'
COLRESET='\e[0m'
function prompt_func
# Running in tty7 or larger (X11)
if [ `sudo fgconsole` -gt 6 ]
then
PS1="\n\[$DBLUE\]\[\033(0\]l\[\033(B\]\[$DRED\](\u@\h)\[$DBLUE\]\[\033(0\]qqq\[\033(B\](\[$LBLUE\]H\!\[$DBLUE\])\[\033(0\]qq\[\033(B\](\[$LBLUE\]C\#\[$DBLUE\])\[\033(0\]qq\[\033(B\](\[$LBLUE\]J\j\[$DBLUE\])\[\033(0\]qqq\[\033(B\](\[$LBLUE\]\D{%H:%M %A %d - %B %Y}\[$DBLUE\])\n\[\033(0\]t\[\033(B\]\[\033(0\]q\[\033(B\](\[\[$LBLUE\]\w\[$DBLUE\])\n\[\033(0\]mqq\[\033(B\]> \[$LBLUE\]"
else
PS1="\n\[$DBLUE\]\[\016\]l\[\017\]\[$DRED\](\u@\h)\[$DBLUE\]\[\016\]qqq\[\017\](\[$LBLUE\]H\!\[$DBLUE\])\[\016\]qq\[\017\](\[$LBLUE\]C\#\[$DBLUE\])\[\016\]qq\[\017\](\[$LBLUE\]J\j\[$DBLUE\])\[\016\]qqq\[\017\](\[$LBLUE\]\D{%H:%M %A %d - %B %Y}\[$DBLUE\])\n\[\016\]t\[\017\]\[\016\]q\[\017\](\[\[$LBLUE\]\w\[$DBLUE\])\n\[\016\]mqq\[\017\]> \[$LBLUE\]"
fi
PROMPT_COMMAND=prompt_func
Note that I do not claim to be a good bash programmer, so there might be better ways. This has however worked flawlessly so far, including when su'ing to other users, and switching between tty's and X.
The code is the same for my other users, except from the colors. Note the
`sudo fgconsole`
Sudo proved necessary for non-root users. I added an entry in the sudoers config file to let all users run fgconsole as root without providing a password.
Okay, that's it. It's a bit dirty, but it solved my problem at least.

Jforum international characters problem

Hi all,
Has anyone used jforum (www.jforum.net)? It is an open source forum software
I am having problems with international characters.
Please let me know if you have had so I'll post my question.
Thank you.

Hi,
So here is the problem. JFORUM is a very easy to use forum that can be set up within a short period of time. It is all nice UI configuration.
In admin control I reconfigure the forum to be in Russian.
When I store messages in DB and later on retrieve them they come up as question marks :(
I tried to alter the table but it did not work. Here is an example of one table:
create table jforum_posts_text
     post_id int(11) not null default '0',
     post_text text CHARACTER SET utf8,
     post_subject varchar(100) default NULL,
     primary key (post_id)
)engine=InnoDB default charset=utf8;Any ideas, help, suggestions?
Thank you.

Importing Library with "Illegal" characters-Problem

Importing a large library of images each with own description eg Couple/Dog-#12/3/1.tif
Found problem with / (Forward slash)...Lightroom shows no Preview.
Went to File Handling Tab
Went to Set The Following Characters as Illegal and chose all of them.
But will still not import any image with a Forward Slash.
Short of correcting thousands of images manually I'm at a loss of what to do.
What I don't understand is why they will open in Photoshop but not Lightroom.
Help much appreciated!

In Bridge, go through these files and use Batch Rename to correct these file names. The preset "String Substitution" allows you to search for "/" and replace it with "-", and do the same with the "#".
By using those characters, you were asking for trouble sooner or later. Best to avoid them.

Problems with MDM 5.5 SP05 Portal Content - ResultSet iView

Hello Experts,
We are having problems with standard iViews from MDM 5.5, more specific with ResultSet iView. We created an iView using English as default browsers language but our client wanted it in Portuguese, so in the MDM Repository both languages were defined and used in MDM Data Manager, when passed to the Portal iView an error occur, but only in a ResultSet iView from the MDM Portal Content, the others iViews (itemDetails, PicklistSearch, etc...) are shown in Portuguese, and we cannot figure out why it works fine in English and not in Portuguese. We left the default language defined by clients browser. Below Im sending the LOG, which by the way, doesn't help much, but I put it also here. Any ideas of what should I do ?
LOG ERROR:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown format type at
We are using Portal 7.0 SPS11 and MDM 5.5 SP05 - Portal Content in a Win2003/Oracle server each.

Alex,
sorry to disturb you with this issue, can you explain me basic steps in order to setup standard MDM iviews from the portal?
I mean, I have already installed all standard mdm business content, and also have configured system and aliases in the portal to connect to my mdm repositories. Those system/aliases are working propperly.
But, when I try to preview standard MDM iviews/pages I got several JAVA errors in trace logs.
Specific iviews are: Item Details, Show products, etc..any iview execution fails.
So, am I missing something?, do i have to create a specific user in portal?, assign specifi roles or groups???.
Platform is: nw2004s SR2, SP11, MDM content 5.5
Thank you in advance.

Hi Raoul
The A806 Golden Warrior is intended solely for the Chinese (and possibly Taiwanese) market.(I don't have any info about a official ROW international multilingual firmware)
Any firmware you are running must be a custom based an the stock Chinese firmware.
Chinese firmwares don't have Gapps(Google services) and are only Chinese&English....
.....The developer of the custom you're running didn't do a ''complete'' job in porting languages to the model.That's why you have this glitch.
BTW.If you set it to English(I see you're using it in Romanian) the issue persists?

22EL833R Russian Characters problem

I have some problems with Russian characters on Menu, teletext, guide, subtitle... The Russian "E" Letter are in most cases displayed as a question sign... Please, correct this bug

Dear Gus,
is the database UTF-8? In that case the characters are stored correctly in the DB.
Sadly Excel cannot recognize which character set is used, so it defaults to a standard character set. We have solved this by entering a Byte Order Mark to flag the content being UTF-8. This means that at the beginning of the file three bytes are added signaling that the content should be interpreted as UTF-8 (#EFBBBF).
Excel reacts on the BOM and interpretes the characters in the right way.
To open Excel on download, replace the 'text/plain' in your code with ' application/vnd.ms-excel'.
At the start of the file you have to write the BOM. I do not know whether that is possible with http functions.
I myself create the output in a CLOB, which I convert to a BLOB prepended by the BOM bytes.
Then I use wgp_docload.download_file to download the BLOB. The response header should be written in the code, this statement only replaces the htp calls.
Hope this helps
