Handling Special characters in sender JMS adapter

Hello All,
I have a scenario where I am getting a value in the payload with special chacters for e.g. "OBS! via JMS Sender adapter, but when this value comes to integration engine, it gets converted into something like this <A&B' . I tried using ISO 8859 charset in adapter module but that did not help. Would really appreciate your inputs.
Cheers
Abhimanyu

Yeah, it is weird.
I tried options from this guide but did not help. Moreover, this guide dosen't talk about JMS adapter. To be specific
this * <A&B' * gets converted to this * <A&B' *.

Special characters in sender soap adapter provoke HTTP 500 error

Hi,
SAP R3 is sending a SOAP message to PI through SOAP adapter.
When the payload does NOT contain german characters like ü, it works fine.
However, when the payload DOES contain special characters, the SOAP adapter replies with an HTTP 500 code error.
If I use SoapUI to send the soap message, and setting UTF-8 as the encoding in the program options, it will go through fine. If I change to ISO-8859-1 it will fail.
I'm thinking in two options:
- Make sure that SAP R3 sends the message in UTF-8 format (I think this is happening currently), as if SoapUI works, then probably R3 is not using UTF-8.
- Force the adapter to use UTF-8. Is this possible? In the sender SOAP adapter I've added AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean (type local EB), and then Transform.ContentType for parameter name and --> text/plain;charset=utf-8 for parameter value. The sender adapter will fail then for every message, with or without special characters.
Anyway, in this link (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/a4/f13341771b4c0de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm) it seems to say that the sender soap adapter cannot be extended with modules, so maybe that's the reason why it fails when trying to add a module.
Thanks

If I use SoapUI to send the soap message, and setting UTF-8 as the encoding in the program options, it will go through fine. If I change to ISO-8859-1 it will fail.
I'm thinking in two options:
Check the use of option 1 ..... the URL which SAP is using to send the data can containe the encoding information.
Check this SAP note: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/856597
From the above note:
Q: What character encoding is supported by the SOAP sender adapter?
+you can supply the encoding information with the xmlenc variable in the request URL as in+

Problem with special character like u00E5,u00E4 u00F6 in Sender JMS Adapter

Hi,
Problem:
Sender JMS Adapter has transformation error when the file includes western european characters such as å,ä ö. And because of this reason the data is not picked up by adapter.
The scenrio is JMS --- > XI ---> Proxy.
If the file does not include the western European characters then it is working fine, but when the file include the western european characters such as å, ä, ö so got the error.
Our Efforts:
We have tried ISO8859-1 in JMS Module Tab as shown below.
1. Transfer.ContentType text/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1
AND with this also
2. Transfer.ContentType application/coctet-stream;charset=ISO-8859-1
None of them working.
Error In CC:
In Sender CC monitoring we are getting the below error.
Error while processing message 'aa157082-b064-4421-0fc3-c286d2732093'; detailed error description: com.sap.aii.adapter.jms.api.channel.filter.MessageFilterException: Error converting Message: sun.io.MalformedInputException: TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException' at com.sap.aii.adapter.jms.core.channel.filter.SendToModuleProcessorFilter.filter(SendToModuleProcessorFilter.java(Compiled Code)) ...
Any suggestion in this regard will be a great help.

> I think you have to figure out first, which codepage you really have, not just try. Maybe you ask someone or you check with a hex editor.
Hi Stefan,
Finally we solved the problem.
As you said above to figure the the codepage, we asked to our MQ team for the same and found that they are using ISO-8859-1. In XI we were also trying with multiple conbinations (ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and many more), but didn't get any success.
Finally MQ team changed their encoding to UTF-8 and in XI we used ISO-8859-1 and we get the success in picking the data with spl char. Even though in XI the spl char comes in destorted order but at the receiver end they are in proper shape.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Change of Encoding in Sender JMS Adapter

Hi,
My scenario is like that:-
FTP->MQ Queue->JMS Queue->XI->R/3
From JMS Queue IDOC xml is coming in UTF-8 encoding to XI. In that IDOC xml certain special characters are there, say, some Latin or European character. But for the scenario XI->R/3, data are not getting posted to R/3. In XI side, it is not giving any error, but it is giving a flag (in QRFC Monitor) which is Error between two Character Sets.
I am unable to rectify this error. One solution I have guessed that is, it will be possible to resolve this issue if I can change the encoding in XI to ISO-8859-1. But I dont know how to change the encoding in Sender JMS Adapter in XI. Could you please help me to resolve this issue?

Hi,
Check following:
1. In SXMB_MONI, what is the XML structure generated for inbound and outbound message. Check the encoding used in both. This could be checked by looking at the first line of XML generated. For UTF encoding, usually, the first line should look as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
2. If the encoding for both is different, try to figure out which encoding is used for Message Type in XI. For matching the encodings, you could change the XSD used for creating message type in XI. This way, the character encoding could be changed. And this solution should suffice if the problem has occured between XI to R3 scenario.
Also, for learning more about character encodings, you could visit following link:
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars.html
Hope it helps.

Sender jms adapter-archiving before processing the message

Hi,
Do we have any option in Sender JMS adapter to archive the message before processing the message?
I have searched in sender JMS adapter (XI7.0) settings, but couldn't find any option.
My assumption is whether any option provided in configuration setting of adapter engine or any other alternatives.
Thanks,
Srini.

Hi Srini.
Here is the code. But you may prefer the EAR module, just for deploy. I need your email to send it to you.
If you want to create it yourself follow the steps in this guide and paste the code:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f013e82c-e56e-2910-c3ae-c602a67b918e
When you configure the module in the JMS sender communication channel you have to spedify 2 parameter for the log file location:
"file.path" (XI server file system path) and "file.name"

Time-dependent Vendor Master & Handling Special Characters

Hi,
I need to extract time-dependent Vendor Master.
1. The data source for 0VENDOR does not have fields to hold the valid date range.
2. Does the Master data in R/3 for Vendors will hold the valid date range?
3. The text for 0VENDOR provides time-dependent, but how to map the valid from and valid to fields?
Handling Special Characters:
We are trying to extract data from Legacy system via DB Connect. The item text field consists of special characters. Of course in BW customization we can specify all the special characters to consider. But the special character we observed is 'square' symbol i.e. 'new line character' in Oracle. We are updating this to an ODS object. When looked at error log, observed that green light for the number of records transferred and updated, but finally when it load into ODS object and activates popping up the error message saying 'could not recognize special character'.
Please help me getting the 2 issues resolved.
Thanks in advance.

Sudhakar.

LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE WHERE NOT /BIC/ZI_DESC IS INITIAL .
 DO.
 IF DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC CN ALLOWED_CHAR.
 REPLACE SECTION OFFSET SY-FDPOS LENGTH LEN OF
 DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZI_DESC WITH C_CHAR.
 FLAG = SPACE.
 ELSE.
 FLAG = 'X'.
 ENDIF.
 IF FLAG = 'X'.
 EXIT.

MessageTransformBean in sender JMS Adapter flat file to xml conversion

Hi All,
The scenario is MQ (Flat File ) --->PI -
>Idoc
The flat file structure is
112233
AABBCC
The expected XML Structure after using MessageTransformBean in the sender JMS adapter is
<Record>
<Row>
<f1>11</f1>
<f2>22</f2>
<f3>33</f3>
</Row>
<Row>
<f1>AA</f1>
<f2>BB</f2>
<f3>CC</f3>
</Row>
</Record>
But I am getting 2 SEPARATE xml messages each with only one Row in it like the following
1st XML:
<Record>
<Row>
<f1>11</f1>
<f2>22</f2>
<f3>33</f3>
</Row>
</Record>
2nd XML:
<Record>
<Row>
<f1>AA</f1>
<f2>BB</f2>
<f3>CC</f3>
</Row>
</Record>
I would like to have one xml message with all rows in it.It seems the MessageTransformBean is not recognizing the end of line in the flat file.Do i need to use endSeparator explicitly.
I followed the "How to use Content Conversion in JMS Adapter " and configured the adapter,still no luck..
Any Help greatly Appreciated
Thanks,

Hi Chirag,
The parameter name sequence changes alphabetically by itself when I save and activate it eventhough I enter as it is in the document.How to stop changing this sequence or put it the order as required in the Module Processor.
Currently my sequence is
Transform.Class
Transform.ContentType
xml.conversionType
xml.documentName
xml.documentNamespace
xml.fieldFixedLengths
xml.fieldNames
xml.processFieldNames
xml.structureTitle
Let me know how to change the sequence ,if that is the issue.
Thanks,

Sender JMS adapter configuration for IBM MQSeries

Dear All,
i am doing a IBM MQSeries 5.2.x Message ->sender JMS adapter -> XI server -> receiver RFC adapter -> R/3.
i have deployed the JMS adapter with the required jar files of IBM MQSeries 5.2.x in XI server.
in Sender JMS adapter configuration for IBM MQSeries 5.2.x, i have put following data:
1. Transport Protocol: Websphere MQ - is it okay?
in JMS provider settings:
2. in channel name - what should be there?
3. Transport Network protocol should be TCP/IP or WebsphereMQ - how to decide this thing.
4. JMS Complaint - whether WebsphereMQ or JMS API.
in JMS Settings:
5. JMS Queue user - is this IBM MQSeries 5.2.x Queue User or someother user?
6. JMS Message Selector - what data to take here.
So if anybody has connected IBM MQSeries 5.2.x to XI via JMS adapter, please answer my above queries.
Regards,
Rajeev Gupta

Hi Swaroop,
you can send me those documents at my gmail-id : [email protected]
Hi All,
one more question - to connect XI server to IBM MQSeries via JMS adapter in ID, do we need to have a MQSeries Client installed on XI server - or - just by configuring JMS adapter, we can send messages from IBM MQSeries to XI server without any MQSeries client on XI server?
Why Channel name is required in JMS configuration data?
Thanks,
Rajeev Gupta

Handling special characters in XML

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10g 'XMLType' datatype to store XML files. Before storing I parse the XML document using Java Xerces Parser. If it parses successfuly, then I perform some business rule execution based on XML file which was parsed. So till this stage there is no problems. But when XML file contains some special characters like copy-paste of some description from MS-Word document into XML tags, then Xerces parser will parse such characters with out any exceptions, but while inserting XML document, Oracle database just throws exception saying unable to handle special characters.. So how to avoid such exceptions or silent such exceptions with any specific settings respect to XMLType datatype in 10g DB.
Please advice!
Arvind Patil - IN

Monica--
In XI 2.0, we've noticed a number of issues processing special characters, primarily caused by the version of JCO that we're running. It sounds like SAP has spent some time in the past few months focusing on these errors, so make sure you're on the most recent patchlevels of all your middleware components, including any of the middleware libraries that BC uses. In XI, we had to update the 3 files that make up the RFC library and JCO library. SDM couldn't update the libraries for us -- we had to manually move the files to the right place.
Escaped XML characters like "&" """ """ were fixed as of JCO 2.0.10 (the current patchlevel on AIX/UNIX), the special character "'" is fixed in the next release, JCO 2.0.11, due out in a few weeks (hotfixes are available). I don't know the equivalent versions on other platforms. By default, XI 2.0 appears to have shipped with JCO 2.0.5. I would expect many XI 3.0 users to also be affected.
This may or may not apply to BC, because I don't know what BC uses to talk to SAP under the covers.

How to ignore Recordset name in XML(Sender JMS Adapter)?

Hi All.
I am using Sender JMS Adapter along with content conversion.
I have put in Parameter:
Plain2XMLService xml.ignoreRecordsetName true
still the Inbound payload in SXI_MONITOR has Node Recordset, which should not be the case.
Please advice, does this ignoreRecordsetName works in JMS adapter, if Yes does it works same way as in File Adapter content conversion?
Thanks in Advance

can you try
ignoreRecordsetName true instead of xml.ignoreRecordsetName
also try to not give any value for the xml.recordsetName parameter.
I actually doubt if we can ignore the record set name using the module.

Sender JMS Adapter does not work

Hi all,
We have created a sender JMS adapter with transport protocol "Access JMS Provider with JNDI". The adapter connects to destination successfully, so the connection parameters are right. However, we do not receive any message when the sender sends them.
What parameters should we set to be able to retrieve messages from the queue?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Into Communication Channel Monitoring, we get the following errors:
1. Error occurred while processing message: null. Detailed error (if any): java.lang.NullPointerException: at java.text.MessageFormat.applyPattern(MessageFormat.java:414) ...
2. Added dynamic header: DCJMSMessageSelector to XI message null which corresponds to JMS message selector: mentioned in the channel configuration
3. XI message ID corresponding to the JMS message with ID: ID:1109F6E3DF541328-00000000053E as stripped of the "ID:" marker and now has the value: null
4. XI message ID corresponding to JMS message with ID: ID:1109F6E3DF541328-00000000053E will be created with the value of JMSCorrelationID which has the value: null
Where is the problem?
Thanks again,
