  • Issue with Chinese characters while sending IDOCs from PI to SAP system

    Hi,
    We are working on File to IDOC scenario where in some of the fields are having Chinese characters. In SAP system, we noticed that the Chinese characters are getting replaced with # where as in PI output payload we are able to see the correct Chinese characters. The systems involved are PI 7.4 and SAP ECC -6.0.

    Like in dual stack where we have an option to choose unicode/ non-unicode, i don't see any option in single stack.
    However not sure if it works but you can give a try..
    I assume you have created the RFC destination in NWA.
    Go to RFC destination ->Specific Data -> Advanced Settings - here we have an option to mention the code page.
    You might want to mention the code page for chinese char and see if it helps..
    Before doing this, do checkMark's suggestion.

  • Issue while implementing OSS note

    Hi Experts,
    While Implementing the note 100690 in sap , I am facing the following issue.
    The traffic signal light is red and the message text shows as follows:
    Object REPS ZKOGLMNG doesn't exist, create it
    Object REPS ZKOMENGE doesn't exist, create it
    Object REPS ZKORWEM2 doesn't exist, create it
    Object REPS ZKORWEM3 doesn't exist, create it
    Object REPS ZKORWEM4 doesn't exist, create it
    Could you guys help me out in resolving this issue ASAP .
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Sandy

    Hi Juan ,
    Thanks for the mail,
    I had a small doubt over here,
    can I follow this procedure:
    1). I will ask my ABAP team to create those mentioned objects manually.
    2). Then I will implement the SNOTE , so that the corrections will  be inserted into those objects.
    I do understand your point earlier that to manually apply the corrections (In this case both step1 & 2 will be done by ABAPer's).
    Please let me know if above procedure works .
    Thanks&Regards

  • Encryption issue with Xperia Z2 - hangs intermittently - anyone come across this?

    Hi all,
    I'm on my second Z2, having returned my first for what I thought at the time may have been a hardware issue.
    Basically the device intermittenlyhangs and the screen cannot be switched on with the power button on the side. It needs a reboot via the Power and Volume up buttons. I can reliably reproduce the hang  by downloading one of the 6 free movies to my SD card, but it also happens intermittetly when I'm not using the phone. If it hangs during download, the charge rapidly drops  (eg from 100% to 69% within 30 minutes) and the unit gets very hot.
    I bellieve I've isolated this issue  to enabling encryption  for the device and SD card. Without these options enablied the device is rock solid.  I have reproduced the issue on my replacement. phone. No apps other than those supplied out the box were installed at the time. Having subsequently removed encryption - a huge pain as it meant a factory reset , reformat of my SD card and re-download of  the movies due to the DRM - the phone is rock solid once again.
    Encryption is a standard feature of Android, which I've been using on my previous Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 with no problems whatsoever, so this is quite worrying if it is a bug.  On a non related note - I disovered  also that the backup application does not work if encryption is enabled.
    Just wondering whether any other Z2 users on the forum have come across this issue so far?

    Hi again,
    Just posting a follow up.
    I've done some testing and I seem to have narrowed the problem down to the use of the Sony Movies application with encryption enabled on the Z2.
    If I launch the Movies application and start a download of one of the 6 free movies, and leave the phone alone, then it eventually hangs as I've described in my OP. If I press the Power button shortly after the hang happens the screen does not switch. If I hold the power button down the Z2 spontaneously reboots   If however the phone has been in the hang state for a while then it can only be recovered by using the Power and Volume+ buttons.
    The hang also occurs if I launch the Movies application and leave it running in the background. The phone eventually goes into the hang state. The battery charge rapidly drains down during the time the phone is in the hang state, losing 30% or more charge in a short time.
    If I do not launch the Movies application then the phone appears stable with encryption enabled. If I do not enable encryption then the phone is rock solid. This behaviour has occured on my original Z2 and on the replacemement that my mobile operator sent me, as I orginally thought my first unit had a hardware problem.
    I've sent a description of the issue to Sony via the "Contact us" link on Xperia Care Support. Hopefully this will be addressed.

  • Weaknesses I've come across in the Oracle XML/XSL implementation

    Weaknesses I've come across in the Oracle XML/XSL implementation
    NOTE: I think Oracle is a fantastic database and the XML implementation is lovely to use - also I know these are not limited to XE and also that some are fixed in 11g enterprise however I'm not sure if all are so I am posting here in the hope that Oracle will include fixes for all if any have been missed
    1. getclobval() returns a spurious carriage return on end of the value returned
    2. extract does not handle mixed content tags well (for example it simply discards tags that only have whitespace between them
    3. XSL: using a xsl:number level="multiple" with anything beyond a simple count= xpath value crashes the database completely
    4. XSL: insists on pretty printing output XML which is extremely odd behaviour and causes problems when dealing with mixed content

    Another weakness I've seen is with the appendchildxml function and mixed content xml - it appears to likewise pretty print XML causing the injection of carriage returns and whitespace into mixed content nodes

    anyone come across error 11 while trying to synch or update an IPhone 3GS that previously had not problems synching?  Have reinstalled ITunes but to no avail...?

    Seems that way. I think I am going to have to give in and spend hours on the phone with Apple support. I don't want to, but I am at a loss. I will share any discoveries...

  • I set up the primary language to English while initializing the MBP, but at the log-in page, the language appears to be a foreign language I don't use, after restart, the language turned into English, has anyone come across the same problem

    I set up the primary language to English while initializing the MBP, but at the log-in page, the language appears to be a foreign language I don't use, after restart, the language turned into English, has anyone come across the same problem, and is that normal?

    i have a similar problem...It seems to be tied to my guest account. It is set to Japanese as primary language but my main login is set to English. I tried changing the guest account to english but the change won't hold. It always reverts to Japanese.

  • Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing

    Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing
    Hello all
    Got an iMac since January 2008 and I do like it a lot, even though it has some issues:
    -- It displays (quite often) lines partially across the screen
    -- Lines appear as well when opening applications or when menus come up
    -- The system freezes more than I like to admit (more than my Windows/Ubuntu box)
    I don't know if the freezing has to do with the lines that are shown on my screen. But I assume that both issues relate to some video card problem. I can't be sure - but that's what I assume from living with this issue day to day.
    The line on the desktop (most of the time it is there before login) I can always get rid of by changing the display resolution to something else and then changing it back. Normally the line is gone, or, reappears on a different spot on the desktop. But repeating the procedure removes the line.
    However, this does not mean that the lines are not showing up again when launching apps or displaying menus!
    And since those lines appear to happen randomly, I think it's safe to assume that we're not talking dead pixels here, either...
    About the freezing:
    My iMac freezes sometimes when I move the mouse around, when switching desktops using "spaces" or when the zoom function of the Dock kicks in. Sometimes the screen goes completely black, sometimes completely white. The mouse, however, always works. But the system requires a reboot.
    Again, this happens too often to feel comfy about it.
    With my little knowledge of Mac troubleshooting I assume that there's something wrong with the ATI card that's built into my Mac. On the other hand, some people say that they started getting similar issues after updating their OS to Leopard. Again other people say that such issues stem from an ATI revision that is too old and the Mac should get a new ATI card. And how would that work? Isn't that an "all-in-one" machine with everything soldered onto the mainboard?
    So, any help in this matter is greatly appreciated...
    Cheers,
    Rainer

    Here are a few screen photos I've taken (not screenshots, as the lines are not visible when taking screenshots. I used my digicam to snap those...).
    Here's the link to those screen photos displaying some of the many lines I keep having:

  • IPhone calendar event issue- not synching across iCloud

    Events created on my iPhone will not sync across iCloud to display on my Calendar App on my iPad or on my laptop.
    iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.3 - this started yesterday with no changes having been made to any of my iCloud settings.  On my laptop I get a new icon displays in my doc - see attached image, but when I click on it it just goes away and the new event is not synched.  If I don't click on this icon, it eventually disappears and the event is also not added to my calendar.
    I Can create events on my iPad and laptop and have them show on my phone.  I can create Notes on my iPhone and they sync across devices. 
    I have tried changed the iPhone calendarsync settings from 'Events 1 Month Back' to 'All Events' and vice versa.  On the iPhone I have turned Off synching of calendars, waited and re-enabled synching.  I have cycled power to my iPhone.

    Thanks Sterling - I've read through both those articles and performed all the troubleshooting steps in the iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar - Apple Support article.  I have verified bluetooth is on, I'm on the same wireless network, same iCloud account signed into on all devices, etc.
    Still new events entered on my iPhone do not get added to my laptop or iPad calendar.  The handoff icon shows in my doc, but it does not put the new event onto the calendar.
    Through some more testing, I have also found the same issue with reminders; if I create one on my iPhone it will not be displayed on my laptop or iPad.
    Again I have no problems creating these on my laptop or iPad and having them show on All my devices, including my iPhone.  And another family member can create them on their iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3 and they come across to all my devices; laptop, iPad and my iPhone5.
    Please advise what else I can do, as not being able to create events or reminders on my iPhone and have them sync across devices is a problem.

  • Why do some of the iphone 4s photos come across as black in iphoto but are normal on my download to my pc?

    I have tried twice and the same pictures always come across as downloaded but show only black!

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    I wanted to lighten the mood on the forum with all of the complaints about the MBP with something potentially useful to current users as well as potential users like myself. I was just wondering what were the 5 most useful shareware programs people have come across for their MBP? It can range from security add ons, or networking tricks, really anything that saves you a few minutes of your day that you think sets your MBP apart from other MBPs and other portables in general.
    Oh, and please try not to include the macsaber....yes it was funny...the first 10 threads....

    1. Radio widget from WU: http://radiotuner.wuersch.net/
    you can just add any radion stream (url), they also have a list on their website (needs real player)
    2. Transmit (very user friendly FTP)
    3. Macjanitor (keeps the system tidy)
    4. VLC player (plays most media extensions)
    5. Skype (Phone any lan or mobile in the world from you mac/pc for a fraction of the cost, as well as normal chat)
    Actually i think most of that lot is freeware apart from Transmit; bargain!
    honorable mention for Appzapper, SuperDuper, google earth and firefox.
    hehe, mactheripper made me giggle - great name..

  • As I bought my iPhone 5 16GB,White in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in Chinausing local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message

    Dear AppleCare,
    As I bought my iPhone 5 16GB,White in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in Chinausing local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message, and iMessage and Facetime also seem not to work.This is very serious for Apple and me! Will I have the chance to fix this?
    I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
    Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.
    Information of my iPhone:
    SN:F1*******8GJ
    IMEI: ****
    MEID: ****
    ICCID: ****
    My Apple ID account:****

    I had the same problem.  Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections.  I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked.  This did though:  I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work).  It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer.  I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore.  Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back.  I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~
