Error in proxy communication with BI (special characters in fieldnames)

Hi experts,
We are on our way to create some interfaces between PI 7.1 and BI 7.0.
These interfaces will communicate each system by means of ABAP proxies.
In BI side, in order to operate with the most up-to-date information,
we are using APD (Analysis Process Designer). It consists of a query
execution that at last inserts data into a DSO. This DSO is a table the
system creates, its fields are named with the prefix /bic/ and that is
the problem. BI team tried not to use it but with no success, this
prefix seems to be mandatory when working this way. Currently, RFC
communication is used, that is Outbound RFCs come along with DSO tables
and thus, data acquisition and assigning is done inmediately. Problem
is that we want to move to proxies without losing this benefit. That is
the clue.
So, back again in PI, once we try to create all the necessary stuff for
ABAP proxies, the system prevents us from creating the Data Type for
fieldnames starting with '/' so we cannot create the Service Interface
and so the proxy.
Error message looks like:
Value "/" is not allowed for the attribute "name" of type "NCName" in
element
Besides, we have tried to use the RFC metadata as a service interface
but it didnt work out, because '/' characters in BI were represented
by '-_' once we imported this metadata.
Basically, this is the problem we are facing right now. We know that
ABAP proxy is one of the best practises in terms of communication
between WAS servers and due to this, we think we might be missing
something in between.
Is there a way to work with ABAP proxies and this BI internal
fieldnames without having to reassign fields before calling the Proxy
methods and classes in BI?
Could you please help us on this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
David

  • Error during data load due to special characters in source data

    Hi Experts,
    We are trying to load Billing data into the BW using the billing item datasource. It seems that there are some special characters in the source data. When the record with these characters is encountered, the request turns red and the package is not loaded even into the PSA. The error we get in the monitor is something like
    'RECORD 5028: Contents from field ****  cannot be converted into type CURR',
    where the field **** is a key figure of type currency. We managed to identify the said record in RSA3 on the source system and found that one of the fields contains some invalid (special) characters that show up as squares in RSA3. The data in the rest of the fields, including the fields mentioned in the error  looks correct.
    Our source system is a non-unicode system wheras the BW system is unicode enabled. I figure that the data in the rest of the fields are getting misaligned due to the presence of the invalid characters in the above field. This was confirmed when we unassigned the field with the special characters from the transfer rules and removed the source field from the transfer structure. After doing this the data was loaded successfully and the request turned green.
    Can anyone suggest a way to either filter out such invalid characters from the source data or make some settings in the BW systems such that the special characters are no longer invalid in the BW system? We cannot write code in the transfer rules because the data package does not even come into the PSA. Is there any other method to solve this problem?
    Regards,
    Ted

    Hi Thad,
    I was wondering, if system is unicode or non unicode that should not matter the amount and currency field . As currencies are defined by SAP and it is in pure English at least a currency code part of 3 Chars. 
    Could this because of some incosistency of data ??
    I would like to know for Which currency  had some special characters it it in that particular record ??
    Hope that helps.
    Regards

  • Unity Connection 8.6 LDAP or CUCM Import with german special characters called "Umlaut": ä, ö, ü

    Hi,
    for  jabber 9.1 integration i sync'ed all users at Callmanager, Presence and  Unity to our LDAP (MS AD). with CUCM and Presence (both 8.6.x), it  works fine, just Unity Connection sync the Users from AD, but i cannot import Users  with german special characters ä, ö, ü  (i.E. German Name in LDAP-su: Müller).
    Jabber  9.1 need for Voicemail Integration the AD Authentication. Know  somebody, if there is an Workaraound or Fix ?
    This is a general issue, with or without Jabber, with sync directly from AD, or indirectly through CUCM (sync'ed with AD)
    thx and regards
    Jacky

    I located an identical defect (CSCts28455) that was closed as unreproducible. The defect references CSCtj73444 "Add support for UTF-8 password to LDAP and RADIUS/MSCHAP" which is added to 8.4.2 with the recommendation of RADIUS/MSCHAP or LDAP only for international character support. It would make sense to go to the latest in your current train (ie: 8.4.4.1.ED) and see if the issue remains. What you want to do appears to be supported.

  • Transfer/Reply to emails with french special characters - BB 9360

    Hi,
    I've got a problem when I reply/transfer to mails with french special characters (such as "é" "è" "ç" etc..) => all the special characters are replaced with strange characters such as chinese letters or others.
    No problem when I send an email with those same characters, it appears only when transfer or reply and only on special characters contained in the original mail I transfer/reply to.
    is there a way to solve this issue?
    thanks

    while pressing the 'e' key, scroll your trackball side to side, you will find the various e variations.
    You can do that with most keys to get special characters.

  • Problem with Icelandic special characters on Mac

    Hello
    I am working on a Flash publication for students, and I want it to run on Mac as well as PC. Everything goes fine, except a problem with three special characters in my language, Icelandic. I am working on a registration and login page where I am using text boxes and text input boxes. Everything looks correct on PC, but on Mac the characters Þ Ð Ý are lost.
    I have tried different fonts etc.
    Any idea what is wrong?
    Jónas Helgason

    Hello Jónas,
    Did you ever figure this out ?
    I have a similar problem except only with two letters (both upper and lower case).  These two Icelandic letters can't be entered into a Flex TextInput box in the Flex apps I am creating when they are loaded on a Mac.  The letters are known as &Eth, &eth, &Thorn and &thorn in HTML terminology.  Typing these characters on the keyboard results in the following:  { [ ? /
    However I can copy the characters in question from some other app like TextEdit and paste them into a TextInput box in my Flex app and all is well, they show up correctly.
    This happens regardless of the Mac browser used and the Flash plugin version used (have tried both 9 and 10) and also happens in the standalone Flash Player application.
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or is this a bug in Flash Player ?  This is really annoying as it makes text input into Flex apps on Icelandic Macs very difficult.
    There must be something wrong with the mapping of keyboard key codes into character codes on the Mac that is causing this.
    Btw, I just heard from a friend that this problem does not exist in MacOS 10.6.  I am running 10.4 and have tested this on 10.5 and it exists on both of those OS versions.

  • Error on timesheet submission "An error occurred while communicating with the server.

    Hello, we have many users who are encountering errors submitting timesheets following our migration to Project Server 2013 (SP1 April 2014 CU). The error is:
    An error occurred while communicating with the server. Check connectivity with your administrator to determine whether further action is necessary.
    This follows the specific timesheet, if I open a delegate session on my machine, I can reproduce the error. However, simply deleting and recreating the timesheet has resolved it for many users, at least until the next timesheet submission.
    Has anyone seen this sort of widespread behavior and have a solution beyond deleting and recreating the given timesheet?
    Thanks!

    Hello Joncantrell
    I just ran into issue and found a way to resolve, though it may not be the best.  I think it is a bug, but here is how I fixed it.
    1) Delegating as the user
    2) Deleted the timesheet
    3)  Going line by line, I check each task that had a status of "Not Submitted" and "Send Progress for Select Task".
    4) The error came up only for one task.
    5) Open that schedule, remove resource from task, saved and published.
    6) Deleted and recreated timesheet
    7) Submitted timesheet and processed normally.
    I hope this helps

    OS is fully up-to-date, drivers are current, downloaded from HP and installed rather than using CD.  device has been unplugged from wall, computer restarted, printers cleared and reinstalled.
    any other ideas?

    Hi BetterL8,
    I understand your frustration. The software you are using was designed for the older operating system not for Mavericks. There has not been software released for the c310 that is compatible with Mavericks therefore, you will be using the Apples Print and Scan not the HP Scan. Because you have this old software still on the computer, I recommend you uninstall it and download the Apple Software Update. Follow the instructions below:
    Scrub
    Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
    Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
    Hold down Control, Option and Command
    While holding the three buttons down, Click uninstall.
    Reset Printing System
    Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
    In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan  dialog box opens.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click  Reset printing system…
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click  OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol
    Repair Disk Permissions (this is good measure to ensure non of your permissions differ)
    On the Dock, click  Applications, and then click  Utilities.
    Double-click  Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
    Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
    Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
    Restart the computer.
    Check for apple updates
    Connect the USB cable if it is not already connected
    Click on the Apple icon
    Select Software Updates.
    Restart the computer.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable, reconnect after 1 minute.
    See next post for further instructions....

  • Error encountered while communicating with primary IP-address

    Hi
    I have recently deployed my first Exchange Server. This is an Exchange Server 2013 Standard and I set up everything using this document on Technet for installation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124778(v=exchg.150).aspx
    For post-installation I used this document on Technet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124397(v=exchg.150).aspx
    I have setup access to port 25, 587, 143, 993, 110, 995, 80, 443 in my routers SPI-firewall and created DNAT rules for each of these ports as well. I can send mail without any issues, but I cannot receive. Reverse DNS is working both internally and externally.
    I can telnet to port 25 on my external IP and external domain which is exchange.mydomain.tld
    My Exchange-server is running inside a Gen1 Hyper-V virtual machine on a Windows Server 2012 R2.
    My Exchange Server has the following resources:
    OS: Windows Server 2012 R2
    CPU: 2 cores of AMD FX-6120 3.30GHz
    RAM: 3584MB
    HDD1: IDE 80GB VHDX - is currently used for all system files and for Exchange.
    HDD2: SCSI 127GB VHDX - will be used for Exchange DB and logs when everything is working.
    When sending mail from any internal or external e-mail address to an internal e-mail address I get the following error in Exchange Queue Viewer:
    "451 4.4.0 Error encountered while communicating with primary target IP address:"421 4.2.1 Unable to connect." Attempted failover to alternate host, but that did not succeed. Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery failed to all alternate
    hosts. The Last"
    How can I solve this issue? If you need any more information please let me know and I will see if I can find it.

    Hi I have now tried to send mail to an internal address using telnet. This returned the following value:
    250 2.6.0 <[email protected]> [InternalId=1971389988866] Queued mail for delivery

  • An error occured while communicating with the web server

    hi Experts
    Im having a problem with bpc when i try to send data in an input schedule
    message error prompt
    "an error occured while communicating with the webserver"
    Any body encounters this?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am from support team, so this is the method how I troubleshoot this kind of issue.
    First, I would like to say that this error message in BPC for Excel is a very common error, and it means nothing. Please move on the following steps:
    1. Reproduce the issue again.
    2. Logon to ABAP side, go to RSA1. Enter OBJECT=UJ* and SUBOBJECT=UJQ.
    Note: UJQ means query related. The same, you can use UJD to filter all Data Manager's activity.
    3. Under UJQ, you will find the log, which you reproduced in step 1. It must be shown as Red. Double-click it. See what the error message is.
    4. Besides the error, right-side, you will see a Details button. Click on it, and another window with MDX Statement will show up.
    5. Copy the MDX statement out for next usage.
    6. Go to another T-code MDXTEST (this is a test tool for MDX statement).
    7. Copy the MDX statement into MDXTEST, and run it. (find the run button at above).
    What is the error message?
    Based on my experience, if this is a Time out error, related to MDX Paser, you can try note:
    1032461 MDX parser does not start
    If not, it must be a specific error. Need to check further, accordingly.

    Hi All,
    I'm having the same problem myself...  There is another simmilar thread at:
    [/message/448277#448277 [original link is broken];
    It seems that thread has progressed further that this one.
    Both seem to be errors connecting LSO to Collaboration rooms.  I'm getting both error messages when I try to do the same API connection functions from different points in the system, so I'm guessing that they are the same error.   IT seems to be an SSO issue.
