Mail Sender - Encoding (I need to change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1)

Hi,
I'm getting data from email (in ms exchange) using the Mail Sender Adapter.
In the e-mails exists characters as ç (ccedil), ã (atilde), õ (otilde) and others. The XI cannot read this characters because the encode in XML is UTF-8.
How I do to change the encode in XI from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 ?
Thank you!

Unfortunately most mail server do not apply the codepage to the content type of a mail.
In this case you have to set the content type with help of the MessageTransformBean:
Transform.ContentType text/plain;charset="ISO-8859-1"

Stefan

Changing character encoding in ps xml pub. from utf-8 to iso-8859-1

I am using xml publisher to generate a report in a pdf format, now my problem is user has entered a comment which is not supported by utf but in iso-8559-1 its working fine,
I tried to change the encoding in people code, xml doc file ,schema and xliff file but still the old formatting exist,should I change somewhere else.
Following the error i get when trying to generate pdf:"Error generating report output: (235,2309)Error occurred during the process of generating the output file from template file, XML data file, and translation XLIFF file.".The parser is not able to recognise with utf-8 encoding.

I had the same issue. I created the xml through rowset and used string substitute function and its working.
Sample:
&inXMLDoc = CreateXmlDoc("");
&ret = &inXMLDoc.CopyRowset(&rsHdr);
&sXMLString = &inXMLDoc.GenFormattedXmlString();
&sXMLString = Substitute(&sXMLString, "<?xml version=""1.0""?>", "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""ISO-8859-1""?>");
hope this helps!

HTTP-Receiver: Code page conversion error from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Hello experts,
In one of our interfaces we are using the payload manipulation of the HTTP receiver channel to change the payload code page from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. And from time to time we are facing the following error:
u201CCode page conversion error UTF-8 from system code page to code page ISO-8859-1u201D
Iu2019m quite sure that this error occurs because of non-ISO-8859-1 characters in the processed message. And here comes my question:
Is it possible to change the error behaviour of the code page converter, so that the error will be ignored?
Perhaps the converter could replace the disruptive character with e.g. u201C#u201D?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas

HTTP adapter - change encoding from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Hi,
I am trying to change the encoding used by the HTTP sender adapter in a scenario.
However, when I enter ISO-8859-1 in the XML Code under XI Payload Manipulation on the comms channel it has no effect - the paylad still shows as UTF-8 in SXI_MONITOR.
Am I missing a step or entering the field incorrectly ??
Thanks
Colin.

Hi,
From help
Enhancing the Payload
Some external systems, for example, Web servers in marketplaces, can only process data if it is sent as an HTML form using HTTP.
A typical HTML form comprises named fields. When transferring a completed form to the server or a CGI program, the data must be transferred in such a way that the CGI script can recognize the fields that make up the form, and which data was entered in which field.
The plain HTTP adapter constructs this format using a prolog and an epilog. Therefore, there is a particular code method that separates form fields and their data from each other. This code method uses the following rules:
     Individual form elements, including their data, are separated from each other by the character &.
     The name and data of a form element are separated from each other by an equals sign (=).
     Blanks in the entered data (for example, in multiple words) are replaced by a plus sign (+).
    All characters with the (enhanced) ASCII values 128 to 255 (hexadecimal 80 to FF) are transcribed using a hexadecimal sequence, beginning with a percentage sign (%) followed by the hexadecimal value of the character (for example, the German umlaut ö in the character set ISO-8859-1 is transcribed as %F6).
   All characters that occur in these rules as control characters (&, +, =, and %) are also transcribed hexadecimally in the same way as high value ASCII characters

Changing from 8859_1 charset to iso-8859-1

With Netscape Enterprise 4.1 the default charset seems to be 8859_1. How to change the default charset to iso-8859-1.
Thanks in advance.

You also need to look at what else you're running in apache.
One of the major changes (and the reason why 1.3 is still so common) is that any apache modules you use will need to be updated, too. That appears to be part of the reason why Apple still set 1.3 as the default.
Also, once you go to 2.x you won't be able to use Server Admin to manage your server. This may or may not be a problem for you, but it's something to bear in mind.

Reverting from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Hi,
i have a database installed in UTF-8, it´s a new instalation and the guides i had didnt mention any restrictions on characterset for the teams that were migrating.
Well the problem is some teams are moving some of their projects to the new server and can´t insert in a VARCHAR2 (3), for example the word "não".
My question is: Can i change the whole database to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 in order to have words like "não" inserted correctly? If so, is it a simple alter database or a more complicated operation?
Another question, is there any possibility of letting the database as is and make it work without expanding the fields value restriction?
Alx

You can't change a database character set from ISO-8859-1 to UTF8. You can only move from one character set to a strict superset, which doesn't apply here. The supported way to change the character set here would be to create a new database with the ISO-8859-1 character set, export the existing data, and import it into the new system. That assumes, of course, that all the existing characters have an ISO-8859-1 representation (characters like the Euro symbol or Microsoft's curly quotes do not).
By default, a VARCHAR2(3) allocates 3 bytes of space for data. That gets complicated when you use a multi-byte character set like UTF-8 where a character like 'ã' requires 2 bytes of storage. You can define the columns as VARCHAR2(3 CHAR) to allocate 3 characters of storage regardless of the character set. You can also set the parameter NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR to make the default when you create a table that character rather than byte length semantics are set. Personally, if I'm creating a UTF8 database, I'd want to set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR.

Changing the xml encoding from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1

Hi,
I have created an xml file in xMII transaction that I feed into a webservice as input. As of now, the data in the xml file is entirely english text (it would be changing to have European text soon). I gave the encoding as UTF-8.
I get an error on the webservice side(not xMII code) that the its not able to parse. The error is 'SaxParseException: Invalid 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence). I know that an easy fix is if tI change the encoding to iso-8859-1.
But the reference document doesnot let me put anythign other than UTF-8. Even if I put <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> as the first line, when I save it and open it back, i see <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Is there any way to change the encoding? Or better still, anyway idea why this invalid sequence is coming from?
Thanks,
Ravi.

Hi Ravi,
We have encountered scenarios where we needed to take the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> out completely. As xMII was providing the Web Service, it needed a workaround.
In your case, it seems that you wish to pass it from xMII to an external Web Service provider. One option might be to pass the XML document as string.
Once you convert it to a string, it may escape all XMl characters (i.e. '<' into '<'). You could perform a string manipulation and remove the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> from the string. You may also need to play around with xmlDecode( string ) function in the Link Editor.
I would suggest that before you try this option, create a string variable will the contents, but without the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> and try assigning it to the input.
You may also wish to try a string variable that has <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> as the first line. If this works, you should be able to perform string manipulations to convert your XML document into this modified string.
Cheers,
Jai.

Changing charset from UTF-8 to iso-8859-1

Hi,
I am deploying my web service in Weblogic Server 9.2.2.
The result is returned using encoding "UTF-8". How can I
alter this so that the result wil be returned using encoding "iso-8859-1"? Could some one help please?
Thanks in advacne
Mike

What's the source of the "generated content"? I think you'd be better off investigating how to get that source to generate UTF-8 content.
Changing the meta tag won't give you what you want, because it will cause all the accented characters (and anything else outside ASCII) that are entered directly in Muse to be handled incorrectly by the browser.

Switching from "UTF-8" to "ISO-8859-1"

Dear all,
I am using Designer 7.0 to create forms, where the content is sent back via eMail and, after review, imported to a wepage.
Due to multiple languages on the site, encoding="ISO-8859-1" is mandatory.
Unfortunately I am not able to generate a PDF which sends back data in xml-format in this encoding ... it is always "UTF-8" !?!
I tried to edit the xml source of the form directly but without any effect. May feeling is, that the whole form has to be saved in the ISO encoding but I don't know where to select this !
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Stefan.

XML files are almost always in UTF-8. Other encodings are not
recommended; most software only supports UTF-8 or UCS-2. So it seems
very unlikely Designer would have such an options.

XML Encoding Issue - Format UTF-16 to ISO-8859-1

Dear Groupmates,
I have data in my Internal table which i am converting to XML using custom Transformation.
Data is going to third party.The third party system requires data in ISO-8859-1 Format but SAP is generating the same in UTF-16 Format.I have been able to change the format of file from
utf-16 to ISO-8859-1 format but after conversion i am getting invalid tag information in form of characters
like &lt , &gt etc..in my file.
Here is the code i have used to set the encoding to ISO-8859-1 :-
DATA: xmlout TYPE xstring.
DATA: ixml TYPE REF TO if_ixml,
streamfactory TYPE REF TO if_ixml_stream_factory,
encoding TYPE REF TO if_ixml_encoding,
ixml_ostream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_ostream.
ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
streamfactory = ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
ixml_ostream = streamfactory->create_ostream_xstring( xmlout ).
encoding = ixml->create_encoding(
character_set = 'ISO-8859-1' byte_order = 0 ).
ixml_ostream->set_encoding( encoding = encoding ).
Sample Output :-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<AMS_DOC_XML_EXPORT_FILE><AMS_DOCUMENT AUTO_DOC_NUM="FALSE" DOC_CAT="CA" DOC_CD="CA" DOC_DEPT_CD="045" DOC_ID="XR10281060830400001" DOC_IMPORT_MODE="OE" DOC_TYP="CH" DOC_UNIT_CD ="NULL" DOC_VERS_NO="01">
<CH_DOC_HDR AMSDataObject="Y">
<DOC_CAT Attribute="Y"><![CDATA[CA]]></DOC_CAT>
<DOC_TYP Attribute="Y"><![CDATA[CH]]></DOC_TYP>
Please let me know if anyone has idea how i can get rid of the invalid tag information.
Thanks !
With Regards,
Darshan Mulmule

Darshan,
Did you get an answer for this question? We have same requirement to create XML file in ISO-8859-1 format with Attributes is set to "Y" and CDATA is being used for data.
Can you please let me know if you still remember how did you achieve it?

What is the best antivirus software for a Macbook Pro...I recently received a message from Google that someone made an attempt to hack into my mail account and I needed to change my PW and verify myself as the user. The message suggested that I run a virus scan to check for sny malware or other types of viruses. I do not have any software for this and up until now have not had a problem....any help is appreciated. I would like a simple but effective solution!

It's worth noting that if your Gmail has been hacked, it would likely have nothing to do with your MacBook. Hacking web based email is fairly common and it doesn't require any access to your machine whatsoever. In the same way that you can simply go to the Gmail webpage through any browser, any hacker can use the same method. It doesn't mean your machine has been compromised in any way (and it has likely not been). I have never received an email from Google of this nature. I have received notifications when someone has attempted to create an account with my name in which they basically say that there is no action required if you're the rightful owner.

To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Upgrade from Mobileme to iCloud - do I need to change from Mac OS X 10.6.8?

Do I need to change from mac os x 10.6.8 to upgrade from Mobileme to iCloud?
Please advise
Is OS X Lion different? latest version?
Thanks in anticipation

Basically, yes.
You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
To get the full functions of iCloud you need Lion 10.7.2
