Codepage Conversionerror UTF-8 from System-Codepage to Codepage iso-8859-1

Question

Hello,
we have on SAP PI 7.1 the problem that we can't process a IDOC to Plain HTTP.
The channel throws "Codepage Conversionerror UTF-8 from System-Codepage to Codepage iso-8859-1".
The IDOC is 25 MB. Does anybody have a idea how we can find out what is wrong with the IDOC?
Thanks in advance.

In java strings are always unicode i.e. utf16. Its the byte arrays that are encoded. So use the following codeString iso,utf,temp = "����� � �����";
byte b8859[] = temp.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
byte butf8= temp.getBytes("utf8");
try{
  iso = new String(b8859,"ISO-8859-1");
  utf = new String(butf8,"UTF-8");
  System.out.println("ISO-8859-1:"+iso);
  System.out.println("UTF-8:"+utf);
  System.out.println("UTF to ISO-8859-1:"+new String(utf.getBytes("iso8859_1"),"ISO-8859-1"));
System.out.println(utf);
System.out.println(iso);
}catch(Exception e){ }Also keep in mind that DOS window doesnot support international characters so write it to a file
