Code Page Question?

Hello All,
I am using Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 version, my database code page is as shown below.
SELECT USERENV ('language') FROM DUAL;
AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252May i please know if the DB is compatible to load the Unicode characters?
Is" AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252" code page superset of "UTF-8 encoding Unicode" character set?
Thank you.

I am trying to install Informatica services on a 'Oracle 11.2.0.3.0' database in 'Red hat Linux 64 bit OS' and I am confused about choosing or determining the code page during installation though i read the manuals, as there are multiple components in installation.
when i do "locale -a | grep en_us" on Linux OS it gives below.
en_US.UTF-8
en_us.iso-8859-1
en_us.iso-8859-15when i do "echo $LANG" it gives below though not set in app user OS profile, probably the default code page set by system administrator
en_US.UTF-8$LC_ALL & $NLS_LANG at OS level were not set yet in the application user profile,i need to set this as well.
And below are my NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS are as below
PARAMETER                      VALUE
NLS_CHARACTERSET               WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET         AL16UTF16We have to load the XML files (UTF-8) into Oracle database via Informatica, Manual says for UNIX OS choose the code page as "en_us.iso-8859-1" but nothing specifically for Linux OS and it also says the target database code page should be superset of all my sources (flatfiles,xml etc) and rest of the Informatica component code pages.
Can you please provide me an idea or approach? what should be my OS parameters $LANG & $NLS_LANG (oracle client) values before starting the installation for codepage compatibility?
Thank you.

How to change the default code page in SAP?

My colleague tries to download a report in Excel but she is having some problems with the output as each of the lines are all included in one cell. When I download the same report, my output is fine and the columns in the lines are properly aligned in various columns in Excel.
I noticed that her code page is 4110 and mine is 1160.
4110 Unicode UTF-8
1160 Microsoft 1252, Superset of ISO 8859-1
As a workaround, I just asked her to modify the code page to 1160 everytime she downloads a report. I want to know how this setting is derived.
My questions are:
1) Is there a way to set the default code page?
2) Is this a problem with the SAP version? If she downloads another SAP GUI, will the issue be gone?
Thanks!
Joey

1, You can change the codepage in SAPGUI: Select the system => Properties => Others
2, Could be, best is to have the same and most up to date SAPGUI for all

Code page to language assignment

Hello everyone
I have the following problem:
I generate email attachement in pdf format converting the smartform.
As input parameters for smartform FM I pass language.
smartform engine choose specific code page depending on language I passed?
The problem is that when I have french characters and polish characters at the same time
one of them are ## dependind on language?
Is it possible for me to have both of them displayed correctly?
Maybe it is a question of assignement code page to language but I dont know where to set this.
Thanks for every help
Wojtek

Try to solve the problem with your basis person.
The basis person should check if fonts install correct.
Also, when you send pdf in email check in transaction scot
see in menu:
setting->device types for format conversion
if the pdf device type define ok.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Steve,
Firstly, you cannot install Outlook with Exchange because they share certain dll files.
About the EMS question, I suggest we try rebuilding the powershell virtual directory. If it still does not work, check the application log for more referernce.

Compiled page (Java file) also shows good, but when I open it in Web browser all national characters are lost (question marks instead of letters). Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
Note: JDeveloper is configured to mentioned code page.

HTTP-Receiver: Code page conversion error from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Hello experts,
In one of our interfaces we are using the payload manipulation of the HTTP receiver channel to change the payload code page from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. And from time to time we are facing the following error:
u201CCode page conversion error UTF-8 from system code page to code page ISO-8859-1u201D
Iu2019m quite sure that this error occurs because of non-ISO-8859-1 characters in the processed message. And here comes my question:
Is it possible to change the error behaviour of the code page converter, so that the error will be ignored?
Perhaps the converter could replace the disruptive character with e.g. u201C#u201D?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hello.
I'm not 100% sure if this will help, but it's a good Reading material on the subject (:

The part of the XSLT / Java mapping might come in handy in your situation.
you can check for problematic chars in the code.

Languages code pages in a 4.6C

Hi people,
I need to install Romanian language within a system that as alreadt EN,DE in PT(Portuguese) Langs.
The system was using code page - 1100     SAP internal, like ISO 8859-1        (00697/00819)
Now when I add RO language I must choose between the following country codes:
        Local ou Europa
0EU     SAP Unification
4EU     EuropTranslit
I tried to put Local Europe but when I simulate it says that CPDB contains more than one code (1100 and 1401). I think that MDMP is not available..
How can I check if MDMP is available, if not what country codes should I choose, Pos and cos of each one ...
Thanks

Hi Pedro,
Check this thread,
How can I know, whether my SAP uses MDMP ?
It should answer your question,

Regarding code page conversions

Hi ,
I have a query on code pages in unicode evironment.
first of all sorry for big mail on my question
There were a couple of issues when we have upgraded from 4.7 to 6.0 . These issues were mainly in the code page conversions from one code page xxxx to yyyy and the dataset transfers.
the problem which im facing is trying to understand exactly what is this code page doing in the back ground and these multilingual conversions all about .
there is a custom code page that my client has made in his landscape and now in majority of the interfaces we need to handle the code based on this code page .
for ex in the open dataset statement we add legacy text mode code page p_code ignoring conversion errors message lv_message .
i see some of the characters especially scandinivian korean chinese and japanese giving some major problem during the file transfers to unix and ftp environment .
case 1.
now we are referring to a custom code page 9xxx . now take a character as ä , now when i write a transfer statement
with referene to this code page it is displaying as # in unix path.
now taking the hexa decimal value of this character if i search in the custom code page (tcode scp with the hexa value of such characters ) there is a value already present in this code page 9xxx, now when i have a value maintained why am i gettina a # in the unix server .. how to check the consistency /validity of this code page
case 2.
some hungarian characters like o with a tilt on top cause conversion error dumps during the transfer . again the code page has this hexa value in it .
why in this case the conversion from 4102(basically utf-16)
to code page 9xxx is failing . why it is calling 4102 in this case ?
ignoring conversion error bypasses this strange chars (cxsycodepage*dump) but how to hold the correct value at any point of time in the desired server i mean at last i need to transfer o with a tilt instead of a # .
Please give some in depth work around solution instead of some vague answers .
Will appreciate your effort and time for this .
Thnx much .
Br,
Vijay.

hi
I am facing same problem when reading the file from application server.It gives me short dump.Can u tell me how can i resolve the code page error issue.In dump analysis i am getting error "NOt able to covert code page '4110' to '4102'

Code Page Setting while extracting data using Generic Data Source

Hi,
Can anybody tell me about the Code Page setting used in Generic Data Source in SAP BW 3.5?
I am extracting data from a Master Table using Generic data Source, but the data which is in Ukrane language is getting loaded as "#". Where do we set the Code Page for it?
Regards,
YK.

To continue with earlier question, is there any particular setting for a master data, to load non english data as a text of master data?
I want to load TEXT of a master in Ukraine language. I am extracting this text from the P table of same master (From Description Field). But TEXT is not getting populated whenever it is Ukraine language. English TEXT is populated correctly.
Please share your experiences...
Thanks,
YK.

Smartform Translation using SE63 returns Error 'Incorrect Code Page'

Hi,
I have created a smartform in english & want to translate to Language IT, FR, DE.
I am able to translate it using SE63 for DE but unable to translate to IT, FR.
The error in status is <b>'Incorrect Code Page'</b>.
Language Attribute is set to : Translate to all Languages.
In SE63 the Source Language: EN, Target Language: IT
The Languages installed in the system is EN & DE only.
My questions on this issue:
1. Is it required the language fonts for IT & FR be uploaded & then the Translation in SE63 work fine ???.
2. Is some other parameter needs to be set.
Rgds
Vincent

If you need to translate the Smartform to any target language the Target Language must be intalled in the SAP System. The error occurs because IT, FR is not installed in the SAP System.
Installing the Language Code pages will solve the problem.
Hope That Helps

Infopackage Idocs in status 2 - could not find code page for receiver system

Hi,
We just migrated our production system from BW 7.01 non unicode to BW 7.4 on HANA.
We now encounter issues with idocs while loading data into bw from our ECC5 source. When we analyze idocs in the source system it appears with the message "could not find code page for receiver system"
One weird thing is that the idoc seems to have been created before we started the infopackage in bw.. We controlled system time and AS time and everything seems ok.
We did not encounter this issues on our previous migration test runs..
Hope someone can help
Christophe

Hi,
Thanks for responding. We finally found out what the problem was.
We have two applications servers on our ECC with 2 different OS. One of them could not reach the new BW HANA server.

Christophe
