Help - french accents words not displaying/storing correctly in database

Hello -
I have 2 databases running in 2 different character sets.
I am able to insert the following french accents in both databases and stored correctly also in db and displayed correctly in sql plus -
à À Ä ä Â â é É È è Ë ë Ê ê î Î ï Ï ç Ç Û û ô æ ö « »
But the following 2 charactes donot get displayed/stored correctly in any of the databases -
1. For db running in UTF8 character set it stores/displays as follows -
2. For db running in WE8ISO8859P1 character set it displays as 2 filled black squares. But when I do 'copy and paste'. It is pasteing correctly in the editor as follows -
I have another one database running in same WE8ISO8859P1 character set , DBA out there sent me the results from sql plus for the above 2 characters and they are getting displayed as well as stored fine.
I have the following questions -
1. Besides database characterset what else parameters or environment variables I need to check the for these characters to be displayed/stored correctly ?
2. Why would Databases with same characterset gives different results for the same characters ?
3. UTF8 is superset of WE8ISO8859P1 characterset, then why in that UTF8 db is unable to store that characters
which were able to be stored in WE8ISO8859P1 db.
By these various results, I am very confused and not able to troubleshoot further.
Any help would be very much appreciated...
Thanks

The client character set specified in the environment variable NLS_LANG controls the character set conversion between the database client and the database

Euro symbol not displayed/stored correctly when Application Server on AIX

Hi,
Up till now we have an BC4J/ServiceFile/UIX application (generated with JHeadstart)running on Windows OS (Application Server and Database).
The customer has decided to move the Application Server (10g) to an AIX machine.
When testing the application we find:
1) Euro symbol () is displayed en stored correctly when stored in varchar2 db-columns
2) The Euro symbol is not stored correctly when stored within a CLOB db-column AND when the AS runs on an AIX.
When the Application Server runs on a Windows-platform the euro symbol is displayed and stored correctly.
Our first guess was some NLS_LANG configuration problems on the AIX-machine. We tried however to set the NLS-LANG to "DUTCH_THE NETHERLANDS.WE8MSWIN1252". This had no visible effect.
Are there other (if any) NLS-settings which influence the way the CLOB-columns are dealt with?
When connecting to the same database from a Windows-Application Server no problems occur, thus showing that the problem is AS/OS specific.....
Our guess is that is related to BC4J and how BC4J communicates with the database.
Is this problem a known bug/issue?
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
We are using JDeveloper 9.0.3.1 (build 1107), Business Components Version is 9.0.3.10.62
Thanks,
Anthonie

Sorry, I'm having difficulty understanding what's happening here. Let me see if I get it.
You have an application that stores the euro symbol in a CLOB. When the server that handles this application is on AIX, the euro is not properly displayed in the client. When the server is on Windows, it displays properly.
Is that the issue? If so, it could be a number of things, but it's probably related to the character set differences between the two database servers.
Have you been able to reproduce this without using Business Components?

Ah... an interesting NLS problem ;)
Main problem or misunderstanding could be that the characters small and capital ligature OE ( ) is not part of the ISO 8859-1 repertoaire. That is, you need another characterset to store and use those characters properly.
However, and sometimes unfortunate, if both db and session is using the same characterset setting, the binary value is "passed through" without conversion and stored - even if actual char is not valid!
1. DB charset should be able to store all possible chars your apps/users need. That's a first. Is that the case?
For sessions, the OS/app charset used should be indicated to Oracle with NLS_LANG parameter (registry or env var).
2. Are you sure that (valid) character codes are stored correctly. Note that storing values directly could work technically but be wrong semantically. Values > 127 are not valid in UTF-8 (needing further explanation)!
3. How are "characters" stored? What does this tell you?
SQL> select dump(column,1016) from dual;

Arabic words not displaying correct in flex 4

Hello All,
Please find the attached image with this post.
Arabic words are not displaying completely/correctly. I have makred it with red line, you can see that in the attached image.
<s:TextArea text="{_str}" width="100%"
height="100%"
fontSize="50"
/>
_str is the String variable which contains the Arabic text.
Awaiting for prompt response.

Hello Robin,
Thanks for your example, but still problem is not solved.
I have attached image by the name Robin_Example.JPG of your example, you can also noticed (underlined in red color) that your example contains the same problem as I am having.
Here I am pasting the whole code and also sending my arabic text file (TopFirst.txt), for your reference so it will be easy for you to run the application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="
library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="
library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo" minWidth="
1024" minHeight="768"creationComplete="init()"
xmlns:controls="
flashx.textLayout.controls.*">
<s:layout >
<s:VerticalLayout/>
</s:layout>
<fx:Declarations>

<s:HTTPService id="httpServiceObj" url="TopFirst.txt"result="handleResult(event)"
fault="handleFault(event)"
resultFormat="
text"/>
</fx:Declarations>
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
Bindable]
private var _str:String;
private function init():void{httpServiceObj.send();
private function handleResult(event:ResultEvent):void{_str = event.result
as String;}
private function handleFault(event:FaultEvent):void{Alert.show(
"fault is = " + event.fault.faultString);}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:TextArea text="{_str}" width="
100%" height="
100%" fontSize="
50"locale="
ar"fontFamily="
Arial"direction="
rtl"/></s:Application>
Now it should be easy for you to understand my problem, as we both have the same code which is not working for arabic.
Thanks for being so supportive.
Awaiting for prompt response.
Regards.

French special characters not displayed properly in discoverer 11g

Gurus
We are upgrading to discoverer 11.1.1.3
I have found that French special characters (letters with accents) are not displayed properly in the discoverer tool menu.
Example
Sélectionner is displayed as S?lectionner.
This doesn't seem to be a server issue as one of the tester (in U.S) is able to see the french characters displayed and ironically it is not the case in France itself where this is required.
Please help
Regards
Ariv

Pl post details of the two clients being used in this scenario - the exact OS version, browser version, browser language settings, Java version etc
Since the accented character shows on one client , the issue is with the client or the settings on the client where the accented character is not showing correctly.

Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on my blog, but other browsers are.

I have a web designer issue. Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on the header in my blog. Explorer, Chrome, and Safari have no problems. The page is in css but this particular section has html code o designate color. The code is as follows:
<font face="helvetica" color="FF9966" size="1">blog</font>
Though all other browsers display the light orange color designated, Firefox displays white. Strangely, if if retype the code by spelling out a color, Firefox displays it correctly. i.e.
<font face="helvetica" color="black" size="1">blog</font>
... will give me black. You can see the effect by viewing the link below and looking at the word "blog" in the header, which should be light orange but is not in Firefox.

Actually it also seems to work in the current Firefox 4 beta as it is.
The code is not right though - the correct syntax for the color attribute with hex values is with a # at the start, so:
color="#FF9966"
It might work in Firefox 3.x if you change that.

Safari is not displaying webpages correctly

HELP! Safari does not display certain webpages correctly. I also have this problem with internet explorer. For instance, in Yahoo I expect to see certain icons with the ability to change color and text, but none of the boxes are displayed as they should be when using a PC. Most recently, I have a problem with a blog webpage that does not display all of the text editing functions. Instead I get all of the html script or java script text (not sure which one). It is really frustrating.
Please help!

Some common sites have text editing functions that can only be used from a Windows system. Most likely all you can do is complain to them about it. As for the blog, no one can possibly help you without a url, so they can see what the problem might be.

I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first.

Why is Mavericks Calendar not displaying numbers correctly?

My Calendar application is not displaying numbers correctly, I have tried validating my fonts and found nothing there, so not sure what the problem is...

Have yopu gone to Font Book
Font Book is located in the Applications folder (in the Finder, choose Go > Applications). To manage or view fonts, open Font Book, or double-click a font file.
High Light all the fonts ( Shift and click 1st one Shift and click last one) and
then select File/Falidate Fonts
Then making sure all the fonts get a green tick box.

Why is Preview not displaying fonts correctly?

Since the last Snow Leopard upgrade, Preview is not displaying some fonts correctly. I checked to see if the fonts were embedded in the PDF (by resorting to Adobe Acrobat 5... which is not displaying them correctly either) and they are True Type with Windows encoding which as far as I know Preview OS X should be able to handle.
I tried deleting the Preview preferences in User/Library/Prefeerences and restarting but this made no difference. The same PDF works perfectly though on an old iMac that is running OS X Tiger!!!

Well I found a few minor font problems which seem to have cropped up since the last system upgrade, but none of those were the font in question. Also, as I understand it, the whole point of PDF documents is that the fonts are embedded in the document so you do not have to have the fonts installed on your computer to view the PDF properly. I use a lot of special fonts and when I save documents as a PDF I can send them to anyone on the internet and they can usually see everything as it is meant to be.

I can not install the Express after the Extreme tha AirPort tool is of no help. It does not display any base station.

I can not install the Express after the Extreme tha AirPort tool is of no help. It does not display any base station.

What is the exact model of the AirPort Express that you are trying to install? Which version of the AirPort Utility are you using? What is the operating system and version, and on what device, are you running the AirPort Utility on?

Server Admin not displaying groups correctly

Server 10.5.8, Mac Pro 4 core 2.66, 56 GB RAM.
Had a crash yesterday, all back to normal now except:
Server Admin's "show users and groups" is not displaying groups correctly" "users" is missng, and any new groups I created in WM are missing. Even if I sort by GID, they don't show up. And yet, if I type "staff" in the search bar, it shows up with GID 20. Also shared folders are showing up as groups

Surely someone can at least point me in the right direction? I tried rebuilding the LDAP database, but that didn't fix it.

French accented characters not translated during decodeIncomingMessage

Hello,
Our b2b.log displays the correct French syntax during the decryption process after receiving message from our partner.
"oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.exchange.ebms.EBMSExchangePlugin:decryptAndVerify Enter"
example = È
But the French characters translate to ? during the
"oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.exchange.ebms.EBMSExchangePlugin:decodeIncomingMessage" and
"oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.exchange.ebms.EBMSExchangePlugin:getPayload"
I tried setting a unix environment variable on the B2B server NLS_LANG=CANADIAN FRENCH_CANADA.WE8MSWIN1252
But this did not help.
Should I also ask the NLS_LANG be set on the database server?
thanks in advance,
Ken

Hello Anuj,
It takes awhile to arrange a change configuration with our IT section and arrange a test message with our partner.
But we did arrange a test a few minutes ago.
The b2b_2.log tip.properties reads as:
-bash-3.00$ grep encoding tip.properties
oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.encoding=ISO-8859-1
#oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.encoding=Cp1252
#oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.encoding=UTF-8
But the b2b.log contains:
-bash-3.00$ grep encoding b2b_2.log
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
2009.10.30 at 15:27:23:186: Thread-13: B2B - (DEBUG) oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.callout.B2BCalloutHandler:processIncomingCallout payload after callout: <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>

<?xml version="1.0" *encoding="utf-8"* ?>
Does this indicate that the encoding did not take effect?
Do we need to remove the commented lines in the tip.properties file?
The accented characters translated to ? in this test (in b2b.log)

RH8 for Word not displaying images in WebHelp

Greetings.
We recently upgraded from RH7 for Word to RH8 for Word. Images (bitmaps) that displayed perfectly when RH7 compiled the WebHelp do not display at all when RH8 compiles the WebHelp. All we get is an extra blank line -- not even a broken image link.
Images are in the correct folder; nothing has changed, except for the upgrade.
The images were placed in the files using the New Help Image icon.
This is an urgent and high-priority issue for us. Adobe Tech Support is unable to assist.
Thank you!
Jerry

Hi again
Well, one might assume that you knew where the WebHelp output folder was because you are reporting the images aren't showing when you view WebHelp. So the question now becomes: How exactly are you viewing the WebHelp? Are you clicking the "View Result" button after you generate? Are you viewing after you publish it to the Web Server? (That doesn't sound right as you are saying the "keeper" won't push it until the image issue is resolved. This would seem to infer that you aren't involved other than to post and act as an intermediary?
Cheers... Rick
