Issue with Chinese language in DI

Hi all,
My source is AS400 with CCSID=935, my target is Oracle with AL16UTF16. I migrate data from source (in Chinese language) to target by DI version 3.0. I used Client Access ODBC driver to connect to AS400.
It run well. But data is not correct, it can't show in Web Intelligence report, they are only square symbol. It's just got issue with Chinese language, for English, it' fine.
I also tried to set code page of source to shift_jis and target to utf8. But it still got the same result.
I don't know anything I need to set. Please help me to fix this.
Thanks so much,
Anh

Yes. I changed the datastore to default.
I used both method: ODBC driver and IBM iseries access to connect to AS400. ODBC is the same in BODI. In universe, I used default, I can see data. But in BODI, I can't.
My machine is BOE client software. But I created universe in my machine, export it. And then from my machine, I created WI report, also export to CMS. And then I view it in ViewInfo. Everything runs well for both connections.
But in BODI, I use it to migrate data to Oracle. I can't see data in DataView of Designer too. Although, I changed locale, set codepage to default as you told, it didn't work.
Any suggestions please.

Issue with Chinese Translations not picked up in Extended Notifications

All Gurus,
We are on ECC 6.0 with the below settings.
SAP_BASIS 700 0015 SAPKB70015 SAP Basis Component
SAP_ABA 700 0015 SAPKA70015 Cross-Application Component
We have been using Extended Notifications for quite some time and it's working fine in EN. We now are working on generating the Outlook mails in Chinese Language. In these, there are some std. SAP texts (as mentioned in "General Settings" in transaction SWNCONFIG) are not getting picked up even though the corresponding Chinese translation exists. Specifically, the EN text
"The following new work items require processing XXXXXXXX" corresponds to Dialog text "SWN_PROLOG_MULTI" maintained for parameter "TEXT_PROLOG_MULTI" in General settings.
When the Outlook mail is generated in Chinese, the corresponding Chinese text is not getting picked up and says "Text Not Found". Similar issue existed for some other Dialog texts maintained for parameters "TEXT_GOTO_WI" and "TEXT_CONTACT_ADMIN" for which SAP suggested new Notes 1661893 and 1661894. For these texts, once Chinese text is maintained in SE63, its getting picked up in the Outlook mail.
Has anybody faced similar issue with Chinese translations in Extend.Notif ? If yes, please let me know how to fix this issue.
Also, anybody knows the message / Dialog text # for the text "Execute Work item.SAP" in the Link that is attached to the Outlook mail ?. Please tell me how to maintain the Chinese text for this EN text.
Timely reply is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance & Regards,
venu

All,
SAP provided the translations in the Notes 1675156 & 1675157 and it resolved both the issues mentioned. Also, the "Execute Work Item.SAP" link is picked up from the Text Elements of the class "CL_SWN_NOTIF_WORKFLOW".
As the issue is resolved, i'm closing this thread.
Thanks

GUI Download Issue with Chinese characters

Hello,
Currently we are upgrading from 4.7 to ECC. I'm using GUI_DOWNLOAD
function module to download the data from SAP to desktop. I do have an
issue with Chinese characters while downloading the file from SAP to ECC.
In 4.7 the Chinese characters are being downloaded (I haven't used any
code page) perfectly, but where as in ECC the downloaded file has junk
characters instead of Chinese.
Is there any change in the GUI_UPLOAD FM.

Hi bharat,
please check whether you ecc 6.0 is uni coded or not (as you upgraded).
If it is not uni coded then you will not be able to print the Chinese characters.
You can see whether it is uni coded or not by the following
in your app toolbar under system click on status.
There you can see whether your ecc6.0 is uni coded or not.

Flash Player 9 problem with Chinese language

Flash Player 9 problem with Chinese language

9 problem with Chinese language

Thanks for the helpful posting. I came searching here for advice because I could not get my Flash Player 9 installation to succeed using the trouble-shooting information provided on the Adobe web site, and from experience I have come to know that my best resource in trouble-shooting is to seek the help of other Mac users.
In following your instructions I discovered that "Enable Flash" was not checked in my preferences, so that was definitely part of the problem. However, I still could not get Flash Player 9 to work, so after doing a Google search I found a posting on Version Tracker (under feedback at the bottom of this page: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11622 ) that provided the last little bit of instruction I needed to get Flash Player 9 to function properly.
Before attempting to install Flash Player 9 I had used Adobe's uninstaller to uninstall previous versions, as instructed on the Adobe website. However, AFTER repairing my disk permissions, I needed to restart the computer and run the uninstaller again. After uninstalling I restarted once more, ran the installer and, VOILA!, finally Flash Player 9 worked as it should.

SAP Adobe Print forms - Issue with Chinese characters

Hi All,
We are using SAP Adobe Print forms to create a business document. This is designed using Adobe Life Cycle Designer (ALD). The form is displayed in Chinese language. The requirement is to display captions for few fields in bold.
When designing the form we have put the caption as BOLD but when the actual form is generated only few characters are displayed in bold.
I am not sure if this is problem with Adobe Reader or should there be any specific fonts to be installed in the ADS server?
Please let me know which all font packs needs to be installed in the local machine?

Hi Pat,
Thank you again for your reply.
Now, I changed the font in the designer to "Adobe Song Std L" and made the text as "BOLD". Then I get a message
The following is the Designer screen shot.
Questions:
1. Does "Adobe Song Std L" support characters in BOLD?
2. Do I need to install any of those BOLD fonts? If so, where can I get them?
3. I understand that the BOLD font needs to be installed in the local machine (where the design actually happens so that the font can be specified), the ADS Server (where the actual PDF is rendered) and also in the viewers local machine (where the PDF document is viewed). Is this correct?
4. Is the font a freeware or will there be any licensing issues?
Again, thank you for your responses till now.

Issue with chinese description for Customer master

Dear All,
In customer master there are few records with chinese characters. Now interesting thing is that sort field, street city etc are showning correct values in chinese characters but for medium description it is showing "#" .
Why it is not showing chinese characters in only medium description field?
Regards,
SS

Hi,
Please check the language for the medium descritption field in the infoObject master data for the particular entry.
Are there multiple languages maintained? what are the medium description texts against those?
This can help to isolate the issue.
Hope this helps!

Saurabh

Issues with russian language translation in ADF application

While testing the Russian translations, we are running into an issue . Basically the contents for the Russian translation when accessed from application, look all malformed. Not sure if it is related to character set encoding/decoding issues. We have no issues with German and French language, so the question is, is there anything specific that needs to be taken care for Russian language ?
Below is the source .properties file, which looks all Russian.
OK=ОК

Below is what perforce (versioning system) merges for the above file. If we open this in notepad++ or microsoft word , set the encoding to Cyrillic (KOI8-R), it will show the Russian format as above.

And,our portal application ends up showing what is merged in(that is malformed text as opposed to properly decoded russian text) . Looks like while creating the ear file jdeveloper just picks up the encoded characters and does not actually convert it into russian text. We have set our environment to UTF8, and the browser encoding includes the Cyrillic (KOI8-R).
Any pointers will greatly help.

Hi,
It seems the property files are stored somehow with wrong characterset (not UTF-8)
Have you checked for german umlaut (like ä,ü,ö,...) in your german property files too? Are they ok?
We had similar issues with the german language a long time ago and as far I can remember it was the encoding setting in jdev preferences:
Tools --> preferences --> environment --> Encoding should be "UTF-8"
Project properties --> compiler--> Character Encoding should be "UTF-8"
If you have to change this setting then you have to edit and save the russian property file again.
As mentioned in the other post you can use native2ascii (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/native2ascii.html)
at the command line to verify the encoding faster than deploying and run the application.
native2ascii is used also when you build your project in Jdeveloper to convert all the property files.

Issues with vietnamese language

Hi ,
I need help in locating the right font , NLS_LANG , database charactersets for a Vietnamese based forms application.
I am having issues with VIETNAMESE_VIETNAM.VN8MSWIN1258 because some of the words are not coming properly in the forms . For example , the word mười when typed in the text box is getting displayed as m??i.
some of my system configurations are given below
oracle database server : Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Forms version : 6.0.8.25.2
Database characterset : VN8MSWIN1258
NLS_LANG : VIETNAMESE_VIETNAM.VN8MSWIN1258
Font in the text item : Courier New
Thanks in advance
SJ

VN8MSWIN1258 is formally a single-byte character set. But many Vietnamese characters are composed from a base character followed by one or more combining accent charaters. If you blindly use SUBSTR on such strings, you may cut off some accents. There is no easy solution for SUBSTR in Forms 6i running in Vietnamese.
The problem with pasting seems to be the result of simplified conversion from Unicode (coming from Word) to ANSI (required by Forms). This conversion assumes that one Unicode character code corresponds to one ANSI character code. This is not true for the string that you gave as an example. This string contains four Unicode characters:
U+006D LATIN SMALL LETTER M
U+01B0 LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH HORN
U+1EDD LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH HORN AND GRAVE
U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I
"m" and "i" can obviously be converted to VN8MSWIN1258 as 0x6d and 0x69.
'Latin small letter u with horn' can also be converted to 0xfd. But there is no precomposed 'latin small letter o with horn and grave' in Cp1258. This ANSI code page encodes the character as 0xf5 (U+01A1 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH HORN) followed by 0xcc (U+0300 COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT). The conversion performed by paste operation cannot handle this. The solution here is not to paste from Word. You have to use some other source.

Encoding issue with Chinese and Japanese characters but not for Korean

Hi All,
I am dealing with the problem below and have tried a lot of options to correct this. Could anyone help me resolve the issue?
Some japanese text is returned to my jsp from SAP, the text looks like PTú÷»à .
When I manually set the encoding of my browser to Shift-JIS, the problem is resolved and the text is seen as １５日締当月末現金
However, I set my response.setContentType as Shift-JIS, the browser automatically selects the encoding as Shift-JIS, but my characters get displayed as ??????
I had a similar problem with Korean characters, and I used,
decodedString = new String(strToBeDecoded.getBytes("iso-8859-1"),"EUC-KR");
It worked and I did not have to use the setContentType method of servlet response. This code however does not work for either Japanese or Chinese characters.
Please let me know, if there is anyway of getting the characters right on the screen.
I am using Sun Java Application Server 8.1.
Thanks,
Priya

Get rid of legacy character encodings and just use UTF-8 all the way.

IPad Air/iOS8.1 - Text to speech issue with multiple languages.

Hi,
I'm facing troubles while letting my iPad Air (iOS 8.1) to read a text (pdf book in English) loud as it reads one page correctly in English (text is in English)while some other pages it tries to read in Czech (text in English), which sounds strange (and it is hard to understand too). I have both languages installed. Same issue happened with a web site content as well.
Could anyone please help me with that?
I need let iPad read the book loud at once, as it is written - in English.
Many thanks,
M.

Hi Tom,
thanks for responding.
It is unlikely. I have just opened the pdf and swiped with two fingers from the top of the iPad' rim and the "read all page" function has immediately started to read the content automatically.
But as it ends reading this page and continues to read the next one, the problem occures (Czech voice starts to read english text on the second page, which is in English too). iPad stayed untouched during reading.
Nor if I try to select block of text. If I select just few words on both pages, the reading option appears, giving me option to choose language. Then it works correctly on both "sample" pages. But if I do the same and tap and select whole page as a block of text, then again the issue occures.
Wierd...
Thanks for help.

Discoverer Desktop 10g : Issue with Chinese Characters

Hi ,
Discoverer Desktop 10g client is having issue in displaying Chinese data. My report has chinese characters in it and the same does not get displayed properly when run from Discoverer desktop.

Issue with Thai language font

I am using Indesign CS5 server and my programming language is VB.NET.
I had tried with Tahoma font for THAI language and there were problems with the text even after setting Kerning value to Metrics.
Please see my requirement in the image below. I would require something like the one given in second part of the image. I had used Courier Thai in this case.
Does anyone have any idea which font suits good for Thai language...
Please suggest if there is any Verdana font for Thai language.
Thanks in advance..!!

Hi,
Thanks for earlier replies.
The earlier problem in displaying vowels got resolved.
We found another issue when applying Adobe World Ready Composer for Tahoma font. Now the Numeric digits are getting displayed in Thai language as given in the image below.
The text which we got:
When we remove the composer we get the text as given below. But the other special characters (vowels) displayed are incorrect.
Please suggest if there is any solution for this problem.

Issues with Chinese characters via HTTPRequest

We have the below scenario:
http --> PI --> IDOC
Before the message arrives to PI we do the conection with the below code:
String urlString = WDConfiguration.getConfiguration("local/AIB_PAD").getStringEntry("HTTPURL");
     java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(urlString);
     HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
     connection.setDoInput(true);
     connection.setDoOutput(true);
     connection.setUseCaches(true);
     connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
     connection.connect(); //(http connection is made)
this conection transform all chinese characters to "?"
Does anybody knows what is missing to receive the chinese characters to PI correctly?
Thanks.
Edited by: Israel Toledo on Sep 29, 2011 1:27 AM

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your answer.
We are sure that both systems support chinese characters, because when we see the outbound XML generated on the source system(JAVA SAP Portal) it looks good. Also, when we send an XML to PI via HTTP client using Java script, it works good.
The issue is when we make the connection to PI. I thing some parameter is missing. could be the text code (UTF, unicode), but we are not sure how to change that in the Java code.
