How to determine codepage ISO-8859-1 for my output XML?

Dear experts,
I want to create an XML file with codepage "iso-8859-1" from PI 7.11.
I have already tried to put the filetype to TEXT and ISO-8859-1 in the File Encoding field of my receiving CC (using the FTP adapter), but I still get an xml in codepage UTF-8.
It should also be possible to realise this via an XSL mapping, but where do I have to do this? Or is there any other way to use codepage ISO-8859-1?
Thanks in advance,
William

Hi William,
Write a simple XSLT mapping to change the value of the attribute "encoding" to "ISO-8859-1" in the output XML of message mapping . Include this XSLT map as the second mapping step in your interface mapping.
First step in your interface mapping will be your already existing message mapping.
Here is the XSL code !
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method='xml' encoding='ISO-8859-1' />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="*" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hope you can solve now ...if not pls let us know !
cheers,
Ram.

Hi
You can do this change at Visual Administrator level. There are some parameters you need to edit and add IS0-8859, so that Integration engine will set for that encode.
So, you can ask the Basis guys to perform this.
This would certainly works out for you.

Problems creating mail attachment in codepage ISO-8859-1

Hi,
i'm sending emails from PI tom our customers. Some of them cannot read the attachements that are created in codepage utf-8.
Can anyone tell me how to create an attachment in codepage ISO-8859-1.
Thanky
BR
Ralf

Hi Ralf,
I create plain text files.
also
actually i´m using an own local ejb to create a nice looking html-email.
Can u please specify whether the attachment is going as a simple txt file or as HTML....
if it is a text file.. then the things are very simple.
From inbound XML,use the MessageTransformationBean,and specify the FCC(File content conversion)how u want the text file.
If it is a HTML or XML u can create the payload from the Mapping itself and send it to adapter.
But make sure that the attachment name is having .htm or .html and content_type is text/html

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

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

Seem all correct infact the program download a file XML but the file have the encoding="UTF-16" also if i have specified "iso-8859-1" and if i tried to opend the xml file the file appears not correct because is generated with as first character "#", why?

How to determine the creation date/time for a file?

The important operating systems maintain both a creation date/time and last modified date/time for files. But in the File class there is only a lastModified() method. How does one determine the creation date/time for a file?

As far as i know, there is no way to know creation time, since it is a OS dependant information.

How we determine publisher take the role for call processing?

dear sir,
I've an iptel environment with only 1 publisher and subscriber . I was told that the current device that handling all the call processing is the only subscriber but will be backup by publisher for call processing in case of subscriber down. How we determine that? which part of ccm we should look into?
please advise.

Charles:
Check your CCM group (under System) to see if your cluster is configured for sub as call processing engine and pub as backup. The order matters - top of the list is the main call processing engine, primary backup next, secondary backup next.
The routers should also contain the pub and sub in your dhcp pool option 150 statement and the pub in the ccm-manager redundant host statement.
Hope that helps.

How to determine the sender business system for ABAP client proxy

Hi All,
I have one doubt: when the client proxy sends the message to XI, how could i know what is the sender business system name for it?
Is it the logical system which is reflected in Technical System?
let's say if i have the ABAP system, the technical system is ECC, which has three clients: 001, 066 and 000.
And the client 001's logical system in ECCCLNT001 (all the client proxy is created in this client). In this case, the sender business system name is ECCCLNT001, am i right?
If no, please correct me.
Thanks in advance
Leo

Hi lawrence
When data is distributed between different systems, each system within a network has to be clearly identifiable. The u201Clogical systemu201D deals with this issue.
A logical system is an application system in which the applications work together on a common data basis. In SAP terms, the logical system is a client.
Since the logical system name is used to identify a system uniquely within the network, two systems cannot have the same name if they are connected to each other as BW systems or as source systems, or if there are plans to connect them in any way.
Although SAP does not recommend that you connect test systems to production systems, a test system can have the same name as a production system. This makes copying production systems to test systems a lot simpler.
You are only allowed to change the logical system name of a system if the system is not connected to any other systems, because changing the logical system name would render all the connections to other systems useless.
Logical system names must contain capital letters and numbers only. SAP recommends the following naming convention for logical system names: <System-ID>CLNT<Client>.

How to handle error when importing taxonomy for product using XML?

We are on MDM 5.5 and built a repository for SAP R/3 Material Master. It has basic material information and taxonomy information as well. We built an import map based on an XML file, which includes basic info as well as taxonomy (classification) info. The import process runs smoothly. But if the import file includes some materials which characteristic values don't exist in MDM, the import will fail and exception file has a complete different format as our import file also it only display one material. Therefore, we cannot reprocess the exception file for errorred out items. What could we do wrong? By the way, we use "Create Pivot table" option in MDM to create the original import map.

Hi Micheal,
I Think your problem is similar to the below one,you can refer the below link for the same.
Import file using Pivot Tables
What you need to make sure is that you are using the same structure of the source file for importing as you used while creating the map else it wont work.
Your schema of the source file as well the schema used when creating the map must match.
You can refer the below links to know more about Taxonomy data importing:

Validating against schema file for the output XML file

Hi,
I am using XSLT for mapping. The output message is generated according to the mappings but it is not validate aganist schema of target . I am using xsd file from external defination section as target. Can any body help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Mallikarjun.M

hi,
if you talk about the schema of a target message type
than validation only works if you use graphical
message mapping
not with: xslt,java, abap

How to determine network bandwidth for EP 6.0 implementation

Hi
can you please guide me how to determine the network bandwith requirment for SAP EP6.0 implementation for smoother operation
Thanks & Regards
Ashutosh

Hi Ashutosh,
luckily network bandwidth is mostly not a problem as long as it is not very small, e.g. a modem dial-up 56kbps connection on client side. To make sure that the server side outgoing line is strong enough, you'd need to do some math and calculate from the expected request volume how much bandwidth you'd need. Some guidance might be taken out of the how to paper under this link:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/how to perform sap enterprise portal load testing.zip.
Check chapter 2.4 in the pdf file.
For "smooth operation" you'd need network wise not only worry about bandwidth but also about network latency times and sometimes network quality in regard to % package losses or similar. If your end users are more then 1000 miles away you usualy start seeing response time increases from latency times...
The impacts of networking on performance are many, but so are the tuning possibilities. If you have a lot of end-users accessing EP over a WAN, perhaps even over the Internet, and if they do so over long distance you might want to make EP landscape WAN tuning a dedicated task in your project.
In addition the network requirements of Portal are discussed in this paper : http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000757275&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000112&_OBJECT=011000358700003943521999E , chapter 3.5.2 Enterprise Portal.

However, I can't use the FS command button or URL buton, because I don't know how to determine what the document id for the webi report is. I've gotton lost wandering around the business objects website. Since our company is new to BOBJ, no one on the project team is quite sure how to do this either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. I'm not a .net or web services developer. I just create universes, webi reports and dashboards.
Thanks.

I can provide you with this tip:
To obtain the document ID, navigate to the document in InfoView, hover your mouse over the document name hyperlink, and look for the ID number in the browser's status bar. You can also obtain the document ID from the Central Management Console.

Determining what views are created for certain structure

Hi!
I need to create some views to structure in Development system as it is done in Production system already. It is something like manual transfer of structure and it's views from Production to Developement system (special case).
My question is this: how to determine what views are created for certain structure?
Will reward,

Use 'Where-used' list for that structure.
Go to SE11.
Enter the structure name.
click on the Where-used list button in the toolbar.
Select the applicable options. (In your case 'Views')
