Issues with characters OLTP x OBAW

I have for example JOB_TITLE column in S_CONTACT as "Produção" (that is the brazilian portuguese for Production).
After running ETL with Informatica/DAC I do have in the OBAW "Produc?o".
This seems to me as a codepage issue due to some wrong installation.. Oracle and Informatica are installed under Linux.
I´ve checked the Oracle DB and it has USERENV(LANGUAGE) as: BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252 (OLTP, OBAW and Repositories are in the same instance)
During Informatica install we´ve defined:
- for the Powercenter Integration service: Codepage: ISO 8859 Western Europe and
- for Oracle_BI_DW_Base codepage: MS Windows Latin 1
So I can see that there might be some mismatch... Question is what codepage should I choose for Informatica (since I will be reinstalling it soon in another server) ?
Txs. for any help.
Antonio

Good question. I'm not a specialist but I will try to help with what I know.
You must choose carefully the parameter of the integration service.
On this picture during the repository creation,
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/_detail/powercenter/power_center_configuration_integration_service_character_data_861.jpg?id=powercenter%3Ainstallation_861
You will see that you can choose the encodage parameter.
Choose Unicode for the character encoding.
Which parameters do you have now ?

Issue with characters like u0151 in maintaining text

Hi,
When characters are entered as per HU language, we face trouble with characters like ő Ő into text fields like in sales order. As soon as this letter is entered, it is changed to 'O' as in EN language.
changing -> Options-> Character set -> Central European, makes the display ő as ő .
1. Is this the permanent solution for this problem ? or do we have any better idea ?
2. Does this character set do any command in printing (SAP Scripts/ Smart Forms / PDF) ?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks

Issue with Characters (tilde, accent and more)

Hello all,
Im triyng to do and export / import
Export system:
AIX 4.x, Oracle, 8.1.7
Import system
RedHat 5, Oracle 10.0.2
After trying a lot with different character sets, setting and unsetting nls_lang in the target system i still having problems.
The point is that an accent lleter (á) for example once imported is translated to a box (FFFD) or ascii code 191.

Hi,
Does your indexed data (which you hope to match) contain "sofá" or "sofa" (no diacritic)? If the latter, and in-general, you may benefit from the dgidx flag --diacritic-folding* as described in documentation "Mapping accented characters to unaccented characters". If you are running the latest version, this is all that should be required to generate a match.

Portal Issue with Characters

How come portal has trouble understanding the following characters:
?

I am running a SQL query in omniportlet but one of the columns from the query has some rows with the data being ***** or #####, this caused an error in portal, but once I put a where clause to remove these rows the query ran perfectly. I just want to know what portal does not accept data such as ****** and ######?
Thanks much

Issues with Characters & Strings

Cant quite convert these funny characters into some string or chars.Ive tried almost everything: toString, charValue, charAt, String.valueOf(),charArray(), nothing is working at this point,and I need help.
     public static void main(String args[]){
          randomOps ro = new randomOps();
          for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++){
               char[] chars = ro.randomOperators();
               String string = String.valueOf(chars);
               System.out.println("char operators are:" + string);
          }Here's the output that Im getting:
C:\Java>java randomOps
char operators are:?? ☺
char operators are:☻☻☺
char operators are: ☻☻☻

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.

Web Logic 10.3 upgrade causes issues with escaped characters in JSP.

We recently upgraded our application servers from Weblogic 9.2 to Weblogic 10.3 and we are having an issue with escaped characters in a JSP code. Here is an example of what we are seeing:
var convertedBody1 = document.getElementById('body').value.replace(/\$FIRST_NAME\$/g, firstName);
This code works in Weblogic 9.2. In Weblogic 10.3 we have to make the following changes:
var convertedBody1 = document.getElementById('body').value.replace(/\$FIRST_NAME\$/g, firstName);
Thanks, Tom

Issue with Keyboard Special Characters in HP Pavilion DV6-3004TU

I am using a HP Pavilion DV6-3004TU notebook. I just had my Windows 7 Professional installed. When I @ using Shift + 2 it displays " (quotation marks). It is vice-versa as well, ie., when I type " using Shift ' it displays @ symbol. I as well have issue with typing the hash symbol. When I type Shift 3 it displays £ instead of hash symbol. This is a brand new laptop and I am using an external USB keyboard as well for my convenience. This problem is encountered in both keyboards (notebook keyboard and external keyboard) as well. What do I do now? It has become a literal mess with characters making it difficult most of the times. Kindly help
This question was solved.
View Solution.

That looks like keyboard layout issue...Looks like your keyboard is set to UK english...to check that...
To check that, Click Start, type intl.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. On the Keyboards and Language tab, click Change keyboards.
You should see 2 entries English (united States) and English (United Kingdom). If true, delete English (United Kingdom). That should take care of it...

Hi ,
I have issue with the special character in CRM web application.
1. In CRM IC Webclient application(5.0) . i am copying and pasting some special characters in the description of the service request document. then this is saving the character as it is.
But when i am opening the same service request in SAP CRM ICSS(Internet Customer Self-Service) application, then the special characters are converting to different characters.
I am not sure whether this is the right forum for this or not.
Can anyone please suggest how can i correct this. Or is there any standard solution to handle the special characters in ICSS.
Thanks

misunderstood =/
Original (Coming - output): "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
it's in output but what is data in database ?
sorry but without knowing about source data for forming the xml i haven't ideas about your problem
in db it's "TM " or "™" or ... ?
Original (Coming - output): "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
Something like XAE or "K" after PAY Value in the xml tag and continued the text value. (Tag value is not getting copied exactly here - i am sorry for that )
that's ok. i need to see the problem not the data as is
Expected (output): "Here it needs to produce the "PAY TM" (Here "TM" should be super scripted to "PAY" Value in tag).
as super scripted in xml?
as idea - you can have <PAY_TXT>PAY TM</PAY_TXT> and in publisher set TM as super

RAC Issue with high Transaction OLTP + GC's

In the Lab i am testing in-house application with Oracle 10g.
Setup
- 2 Database servers (RHEL OS 3, IBM H/W, 4GB RAM)
- 2 in house Application servers (RHEL OS 3, IBM H/W, 4GB RAM)
- IBM Disk Array with 2Gbps fiber Cable Speed
- Cisco LAN Switch with 100mbps/sec Port
Application Detail-
-- Its a OLTP application.
-- Doing lots of insertion,update,delete,commit for each transaction.
-- With high application load,its doing 5000 DB tranactions/sec with database.
The following test scenario need to test
1. Start one application server and conenct with DB instance1 and push high load..
2. Start both application server and connect with DB Instance1b and push high load from both applications.
3. Start Both application server and connect with both DB servers ( For Ex.
(A1-DB1 & A2-DB2) and check the application compatibility with RAC environment ( Note- Here need to push very less db transaction data to DB servers).
4. Similar like 3 but with very high db transaction rate
Now these are the results
1. Full Success
2. Full Success
3. Full Success
4. Fail
Detail description of Case4 Failure.
When ever i am starting applications with high load, within few minutes application quesues are getting full and db instances are not able to handle load.
When i checked the Oracle ASH Report and then found following major events
1. gc buffer busy
2. gc current block busy
3. gc current multi block request
4. gc cr block 2-way
i checked the oracle documents and found three are major root cause for this issue.
-- Interconnect
-- Load issues
-- SQL Execution against a Large shared working set
But i am not sure, how i can come out from this issue.
If any one faced this issue with Oracle RAC. Please share your experience or give some suggestion to come out from this issue.

Hi,
you can use fiber for interconnect, Once i have looked for this option but haven't implemented.......
in this case your global cache requests are too much. one thing more if is it possible then divide the load according to domains. like same queries on on node and other domain queries on second nodes...... e.g. reporting on node2 and oltp transations on node1.
and kindly look into it...

Issue with displaying Greek characters in Oracle 11.1

Hi,
We are having issues with display of Non-English language (for ex Greek) text on Pega-PRPC. The text is stored in a reference table in Oracle DB. However there is not need of translation in PRPC as it has the capability of displaying non-english language also.

The first question that needs to be answered is whether the problem is a data storage problem or data presentation problem.
The query below will answer this question.

J2SE adapter PI 7.1 issue with XML to flat conversion and namespace length

Dear reader,
We are facing an issue with J2SE Adapter PI7.1 for a number of flows.
The flow requirements:
[1] Namespace length for interfaces is up to 100 characters
[2] The XML message must be converted to Flat on the adapter channel
Our PI system is at patch level 7 and we implement J2SE adapter on patch level 7 as well.
We found that the J2SE adapter on patch level 7 does not support long namespaces [1] (as it should since this is an PI 7.1 j2SE adapter) but no issues where found with the XML to flat conversion [2].
Experimenting with J2SE adapter on patch level 6 we found the long namespaces [1] are supported however an issue is found with the XML to flat conversion [2] as stated in SAP note 1335527.
An SAP Customer Message is raised on this issue however your input is highly appricated!
With Kind Regards,
Harald Kastelijn

I think the restriction of namespace length still remains in design time (IR).....the same however has been extended in configuration and runtime...this SAP note has some information: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/870809

Multiple issues with new installation

I have several issues with my fresh installation of arch (just got myself a free old-as laptop , thus trying out arch for the first time as I usually run gentoo), and I'm not sure where these should go. I figure that I may as well lump them all at once while I'm at it.
The laptop model is a Toshiba Dynabook TX/430DX Japanese laptop similar to a Tecra A2 afaik.
1. If I use stock ARCH kernel, when I load up x11 it seems to be using some wrong drivers or something. Tried with and without xorg.conf. The screen is all fuzzy etc. However, I compiled my own kernel (the Zen sources), took out a whole bunch of drivers I knew I wouldn't be using (etc. SATA/IDE/extra whatnot so that it would merely take 3 hours to compile the kernel), x11 works fine. HOWEVER with the zen sources, when I close x11 I can't exit to console. I get some sort of weird artefact from what happened to be on the screen, or it just goes black. It does actually seem to be in console as I can turn off the laptop with ctrl.alt.del and the capslock etc seems to work fine. I'm thinking of recompiling the zen sources with the stock arch kernel config when I have the time just to see what happens, but I'm not too sure it'd help.
The VGA device is an: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Intergrated Graphics Device (rev 02), using the intelfb module.
2. In most consoles I've used, if you type in part of a command then press ctrl.up/down, it autocompletes with previous commands you've run matching what you've already entered. However, in my install it brings me to the very first command in my bash history. How do I make it autocomplete previous commands?
3. When I use wvdial (I have a mobile modem), I get odd characters as shown in the screenshot posted.
I don't think it's a unicode issue, as ncmpcpp displays properly. This displays itself both in the console and in x11 (screenshot).
4. If I'm using the stock kernel and I stop wvdial, I get a whole bunch of kernel error trace messages. After this, anything that goes to dmesg will be displayed to whatever terminal I'm on (but not actually echoed, it gets overwritten if I change screen etc). Wvdial is also prone to crashing, sometimes taking out the whole laptop. However, while using the zen kernel I do not suffer this issue at all.
Any help in helping me find the source of these issues would be greatly appreciated. They're not showstopping issues, but extremely irritating nonetheless.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I created a zen kernel based on the arch stock kernel. Unsurprisingly, I still suffer from the x11 video issue. However, I don't have issues with number 4.

I am having issues with installing a Ricoh MP C2500 printer on Lion in my MBPro Ci7

I am having issues with installing a Ricoh MP C2500 printer on Lion in my MBPro Ci7 Where is appletalk or the replacement?
My it guy has set all the Ricoh (The only brand of printers we use.) to enable Appletalk. I am unable to see how to enable appletalk or an equivalent on Lion and have spent 3 hours now searching for it. If I connect to the printer via TCP/IP it prints random characters. I have a Ricoh working for another moddle but I am needing to use this machine. HELP!!!!!

AppleTalk has been gone eons ago. Connect via USB and see what happens. If you are networking the printer then advise on your connection set up.
