German Umlaut and special character

I have a dynamic text field that I need to populate with
German characters like ä, ë, ü, ö . . .I have
done this hundreds of times with MX2004, but after installing Flash
Professional CS3, it does not work?

The kerberos 5 standard has not specified how to deal with non-ASCII principal names, so you'd better avoid them.
BTW, how do you input the umlaut character into the login screen? Are you using a German keyboard? I don't know how to turn the input method there.

Error-Description:
When MII get a Message (RFC) from the ECC, all special character (German Umlaut) coming wrong.
I tried with changing the Language, codepage... without any success. When I call the same Message
(RFC) from the BLS through a JCO action block, then the result is with special character. I also tried
this on a MII 12.0.5 installation without success... Did anybody had this problem one time?
Kind Regards
Pedro

Pedro,
we are working in an german environment with unicode, although I have set the Message Listener language to EN. I have found some material texts which came down with a MATMAS that contain german umlaute and which are shown correctly inside the database.
I have also used a "normal" JCo block, no session. I guess it would make no difference using an IDoc or RFC.
Have you seen the wrong characters, in the MII workbench or in a database where you store the contents?

German umlauts and WLS...... (once again)

Hi
i'm using wls6.0 sp1 on a NT(4.0 Sp6) and on a Sun Solaris 6. if i try
to POST (using jsp) some data containing umlauts, an invalid character
('?') will be showed instead of the umlaut on solaris. the same
procedure works well on NT.
simply try the http://[myServer]:7001/console/..... application and
enter a "ä" in a "notes" tab of the wls server settings (wherever you
like).
is this a bug or a feature ? .->
idealy i would like to use german-umlauts.... so HELP !
thanx 4 ur answer
rsc

Hello Rolf,
It looks to me that the code conversion table between Unicode and the german
code page in JDK is not correct, or you may be running on the wrong locale
(codepage).
To verify that, use native2ascii.
1. Edit a file that has the german-umlauts and save it
2. execute native2ascii filename_input filename_output
3. execute native2ascii -reverse filename_output filename_output2
4. Open filename_output2 to see if it goes to ?
If it went to ?, you are in one of the above.

German umlauts (and other foreign characters) using UK keyboard

How do I type a umlaut, o umlaut and u umlaut? Also, ss (like a B)?
Holding down Alt and a etc. does not work.

The principle of the thing is that you use the Keyboard Viewer to change the mapping of key codes to character codes, much as you would have used the KeyCaps Utility in the past.
Keyboard viewer enables you to see the results of using the option key if you don't remember the shortcuts Peter gave above. If you know those you just type them. You can also see the result of using special fonts for symbols etc. It does not change the results of hitting a particular key in a particular font.
Because the key graphics are engraved on the keys, changing the mapping of key codes to character codes does not change the key graphics.
Hand up all those who thought it would.
This is a problem for which Apple has several patents in play. These are patents for much improved input methods to interactively change the key graphics when the mapping of key codes to character codes is changed.
Which I am sure we will all enjoy seeing and paying for in the distant future

German Umlaute and SQLite3?

I'm struggling with SQLite 3 and German Umlaute (ä, ö, ü, etc.)
It seems as if I cannot do WHERE x LIKE y clauses with German Umlaute recognized. Here's a code excerpt:
const char *sql = "SELECT zip, city, number, mobile, active, remarks FROM rawData WHERE city LIKE ?";
if (sqlite3preparev2(database, sql, -1, &searchCityStatement, NULL) != SQLITE_OK) {
NSAssert1(0, @"Error: Failed to prepare statement with message '%s'.", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
sqlite3bindtext(searchCityStatement, 1, [c UTF8String], [c length], SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
So the idea here is that I search for rows WHERE city LIKE <parameter c>. It works fine without Umlaute. E.g. rows like Berlin, London, etc. are returned. However, when I search e.g. for Lünen, it does not work. I believe that the [c UTF8String] strips out Umlaute, but just using c does not work, either.
Any help?

SQLite does not properly handle accented characters. From the SQLite documentation:
The LIKE operator is not case sensitive and will match upper case characters on one side against lower case characters on the other. (A bug: SQLite only understands upper/lower case for 7-bit Latin characters. Hence the LIKE operator is case sensitive for 8-bit iso8859 characters or UTF-8 characters. For example, the expression 'a' LIKE 'A' is TRUE but 'æ' LIKE 'Æ' is FALSE.).
Although it does not explicitly state it, 'Lünen' LIKE 'Lunen' is FALSE.

Import over network link fails when table and special character.

I am trying to do an import over the network link. Below is the command I am using to do the import. In the parameter file the table name has "$" sign. Database is on AIX.

I have tested this import with following options.
on the command line TABLES=\"XYZ\".\"DR\$ABC_EFG_CTC1\$N\" ---- (IN THE PARFILE)
on the command line TABLES=\"XYZ\".\"DR\$ABC_EFG_CTC1\$N\" ---- (WITHOUT USING PARFILE)
Still my import fails with below error.

I had more than 20 tables to import. All the other tables get imported except these tables which have special character. I have confirmed that these tables exists in source database.
Please advice.
Thanks
Shelly

First hint: don't use as sysdba
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_import.htm#sthref243
Instead, create a user with (no more than necessary) export and/or import rights
user7414922 wrote:
on the command line TABLES=\"XYZ\".\"DR\$ABC_EFG_CTC1\$N\" ---- (WITHOUT USING PARFILE)Try something like tables=xyz.table\$name
or
tables='xyz.table$name'
TABLES=XYZ.DR$ABC_EFG_CTC1$N, DR$MNO_PQR_CTC1$NSecond table should probably have schema qualifier as well.

Change Password with changePasswordForSelf and Special character

Hi,
I was trying to use the OIM (9.1.1.0) API to change the password using:
userIntf.changePasswordForSelf(oldPassword, newPassword, confirmNewPassword);
This works when I use some standard password.
The issue appears when I try to enter certain special character: e.g: < or >
The error returned is :
<Error (class Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException): Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException>
Exception is: Thor.API.Exceptions.IllegalInputException
I reckon this is done to prevent injections.
I didn't see any restriction in any of Oracle documentation and was wondering if you can help me understanding:
- if you have observed the same issues before
- which character are affected by this
- if there is a work around to allow these character
Thank you.

That's because the special characters you are using are the scripting tags and it confuses itself with the OIM scripting process, for instance JSP's etc.
So I would recommend not to do it and have your policies in place which restricts end-user to have a password with such special characters. I did not tried that but you can possibly do that.

Htp.p() and special character

I am trying to use PL/SQL procedure to present my customized item.
If user type in secial character, e.g. single quote ', in an attribute, I got this error on the page:
Error 30584: DBMS_SQL has raised an unhandled exception. ORA-06550: line 1, column 327: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "03" when expecting one of the following: . ( ) , * @ % & = - + < / > at in is mod not rem <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like between ||
Is there a procedure I can call to encode the special character? I tried htp.ps() and htf.escape_sc(), however they are not dealing with single quote.
thanks

I am using a custom item type to display news and annoucements for my intranet.
The custom item type has an associated procedure that renders it on the front page of my intranet.
If the end users enter an apostrophe such as ' . in the title custom item type or the body of the custom item type, I get an error message on the page where the custom item type is displayed, such as
Error 30584: DBMS_SQL has raised an unhandled exception.
I tried changing the procedure that formats and displays the custom item type so it replaces the quote for example
v_description := replace(v_description, '''','ampersand#8217;');
note i am using the ampersand character and not the word so it posts correctly here, the variable is then used as below .
<td>'||substr(v_description,1,400)||'..</td> .
but it does not work.
Is there anyway of trapping what the user is typing in before it gets put into the database and replacing it with a html special character.
or is my plsql wrong.
Any help appreciated.

REGEX AND SPECIAL CHARACTER

Hi guys, I have a problem!!!!
I am using the java.util.regex.*, when I try use the special character, for example ' \w ' I get a error
Pattern.compile("\w123\w");
The compiler return to me that the \w character is not a valide, the output error are:
"illegal escape character".
What I need do to put this character in my regular expression and don't get the error?!!?
Another question, I use the feloow code
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("isc");
Matcher matcher = p.matcher("Giscard");
if(matcher.matches())
System.out.println("MATCH");
else
System.out.println("NOT MATCH"); //The resul is always this, why the regex don't match with my name?Thanks one more time.
Giscard

1)
Pattern.compile("\\w123\\w");To input a single "\" in a Java program you must enter two "\\".
2) read the javadoc
matches()
Attempts to match the entire region against the pattern.
So "isc" only matches "isc", not "Giscard"
You need to use find()

Hi
Check whether your system is Unicde enabled or not?
Because in Unicode system there is a chance to get such type of Unwanted special characters.

I know that this is no bug, i just don't understand somethig. How can i tell Tomcat 4.1.18 to return files with german umlaute???
please help...
ciaou,
wendigo

sorry that's not the solution of the problem. I have prooved that my file is in the correct directory. It's NOT a context path problem. Other files are downloaded.....

Umlaut or special character in LogonName

Hey,
i trying to get a Service Ticket from a Windows Server 2003 Server for a user with a umlaut in the logon name. I getting the service Ticket for users without umlauts in the logon name. Furthermore when i have a TGT in the cache it works fine, but if i disable the ticket cache it doesn't work :(. So i think the first error is within the TGT request when the ticket cache is disabled. Do somebody know, whether the Kerberos Protocol support umlaut characters in the TGT reuqest? I think windows is using some proprietary Kerberos format, when i login into the os and the os is requesting for the TGT.
Heres the output:
Debug is true storeKey false useTicketCache false useKeyTab false doNotPrompt false ticketCache is null isInitiator true KeyTab is null refreshKrb5Config is false principal is null tryFirstPass is false useFirstPass is false storePass is false clearPass is false
[Krb5LoginModule] user entered username: äß
Acquire TGT using AS Exchange
[Krb5LoginModule] authentication failed
Client not found in Kerberos database (6)Thanks for all helpful suggestions!

The kerberos 5 standard has not specified how to deal with non-ASCII principal names, so you'd better avoid them.
BTW, how do you input the umlaut character into the login screen? Are you using a German keyboard? I don't know how to turn the input method there.

SAX Parser and special character problem

Hi,
Could anyone help with the following problem?
Background:
1. Using a SAX Parser (Oracle Implementation) to read XML from a CLOB, convert this XML to another format to be inserted in the database.
2. Due to performance issues we parse the input stream from the CLOB.
3. For same reason, we are not using XSL.
This is the problem we face:
1. Values of some of the tags in the XML have special characters (Ex: &, <, >).
2. While using the SAX Parser, the element handler function for the SAX Parser is called by the frame work with the value of these tags broken up with each of these characters being treated as a tag delimiter.
Ex: <Description>SomeText_A & SomeText_B</Description>
is treated as SomeText_A in first call to the handler; SomeText_B in the second call.
The handler function does not get to see the "&" character.
Thus, the final conversion is
Say, <Description> is to be converted to <FreeText>
we, get <FreeText>SomeText_A</FreeText>
<FreeText>SomeText_B</FreeText>
We tried using &; but it then breaks it up into SomeText_A, & and SomeText_B.
How can we get the whole value for the <Description> tag in the characters() function in the SAXParser so that we can convert it to <FreeText>SomeText_A & SomeText_B</FreeText>.
Thanks in advance..
Chirdeep.

We already tried that..looks like the line where I mentioned that it converted the entity referece characters to an ampersand..
"We tried using <entity reference for &> but it then breaks it up into SomeText_A, & and SomeText_B."

External Table, Handling Delimited and Special Character in file

Hi ,
I have created one external table with these option
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY ***************************************
ACCESS PARAMETERS
( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
SKIP 0
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
LOCATION
( 'test_feed.csv'
Now problem is these are coming as valid.
anupam|anupam2
anupam"test|anupam"test2
"anupam|test3"|test3
anupam""""test5|test5
anupam"|test7
but these are not coming as valid
"anupam"test4"|test4    --> Case when we have quotes in the filed but still have quotes in it. I guess in this case we can send the filed expect closing double quotes.
"anupam|test6   --> In case field is starting with double quotes then it's failing
"anupam"test8|test8"|test8 --> In case one filed contains both pipe ( |) and double quotes then we are sending it enclosed in double quotes. But thats failing the job.
Can you suggest what is the best way to handle such scenario? ( One restriction though. The file is used by other system - Netezza as well, which can't take more than one character long delimited :'( )

One approach is to define the external table a ONE column table (with single field on the file). This way each line will come in as a row in the external table. Of course you have to build "parsing logic" on top of that.
DROP TABLE xtern_table;
CREATE TABLE xtern_table
    c1 VARCHAR2(4000)
organization external
    type ORACLE_LOADER DEFAULT directory xtern_data_dir
    ACCESS PARAMETERS (
        RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
        FIELDS TERMINATED BY '~'   ---- <<<<<<<< Use a field terminator as a character that is not found in the file
        MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
        ( c1 CHAR(4000)
     ) location ('mycsv.csv')
> desc xtern_table
desc xtern_table
Name Null Type
C1        VARCHAR2(4000)
> column c1 format A40
> select * from xtern_table
C1
anupam|anupam2
anupam"test|anupam"test2
"anupam|test3"|test3
anupam""""test5|test5
anupam"|test7
"anupam"test4"|test4
"anupam|test6
"anupam"test8|test8"|test8
8 rows selected
Ideally, it will be good t have an incoming source file with predictable format.
Hope this helps.

UTL_HTTP with parameter and special character

hello,
i need your help to solve this issue.
I try to open an utl_http request which calls a procedure with some parameters.
i have to create an url like:

If I run the url directly in the browser, everything is working fine. But with utl_http, I only get a 404 error.
i guess it's caused due to the 'd1=0' parameter, but I can't avoid them.
