Need suggestion on Multi currency and Unicode character set use in ABAP

Hi All,
Need suggestion. In one of the requirement I saw 'multi-currency and Unicode character set experience in FICO'.
Can you please elaborate me how ABAPers are invlolved in multi currency as I think this is FICO fuctional area.
And also what is Unicode character set exp.? Please give me some document of you have any.

Use the default parser.
By default, WebLogic Server is configured to use the default parser and transformer to parse and transform XML documents. The default parser and transformer are those included in the JDK 5.0.
The built-in WebLogic Server DOM factory implementation class is com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl.
The DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance method returns the built-in parser.
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

Does setting multi currency and fixed foreign currency make a difference ?

Hi all,
My customer deals in foreign currency say USD, where as local currency is INR.
Now I want to know that what all difference SBO will make if in one scenario I set the Inventory GLs currency as Multi currency and in second scenario I set the Inventory GLs currency as USD ?
Regards,
Samir Gandhi

Hi Samir,
in essence, an account/BP that is set up as multicurrency (MC) is local currency (LC) in disguise. All transactions are held in the application in LC, the display is merely informational according to the exchange rate defined for the posting date. The reconciliation currency is LC.
A foreign currency (FC) account/BP will only accept transactions in this FC. The LC equivalent is automatically calculated, but the reconciliation currency is FC. Exchange rate differences are used to adjust LC according to the rate at the execution date.
If you use a particular bank account for trading with a particular foreign country, the account currency & the BP currency should be set to a single FC. If a particular bank account is used to deal with various BPs using various currencies, that account should be set up as MC, yet we would recommend you set the BP as single FC.
There are some relevant Expert Empowerment Sessions available in the archive:

I need to move the iTunes library to an External Hard Drive to free up space on iMac. Need suggestions on type of External Hard Drive to use. A Multimedia Hard Drive like LaCie LaCinema Classic HD Multimedia Hard Drive OR a Large Desktop Hard Drive?

I need to move an iTunes library to an External Hard Drive to free up space on iMac. I Need suggestions on type of External Hard Drive to use. Should you use a Multimedia Hard Drive like LaCie LaCinema Classic HD Multimedia Hard Drive OR a standard Large Desktop Hard Drive like Western Digital/Seagate/LaCie?

There is no benefit to the multi-media feature on the first drive you mentioned. If you are going to look at differences between certain drives, I'd look at the differences in reliability first.

Unicode Character sets (e.g UTF-8)

Hi,
We are using some third party software which will connect to the oracle database.
One of the requiremebnts it states is that both the databse client and server must use the Unicode character set e.g UTF-8.
How do we ensure this when installing the oracle client software.
Also, why when install orcale client software and select language as English does it put NLS_LANG as American by default.
Is there an English U.K language option - couldn't see it.
Many Thanks

Pl post details of OS and database and client versions being installed
How do we ensure this when installing the oracle client software.
For the client, set NLS_LANG appropriately when using the client software - there is no setup required during the install - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/globalization/nls-lang-099431.html
Also, why when install orcale client software and select language as English does it put NLS_LANG as American by default.

BIG5 and HKSCS Character Set Support

Hi,
We're experiencing some problems inserting a string containing both BIG5 and HKSCS characters to a 7.3.4 Oracle DB using JDBC. The underlying character set used by the DB is ZHT16BIG5 (this cannot be changed). The characters can be inserted correctly if we use SQLPlus/WorkSheet.
Take note that the BIG5 character set can be inserted correctly. The problem occurs if we include HKSCS characters in the statement.
We have tried a number of ways already but failed to convert the data properly.
We tried converting the data using ByteToCharConverter.getConverter("Big5") but this cannot handle the HKSCS properly.
We even tried using the CharacterSet.ZHT16BIG5_CHARSET provided by the NLS character set but it cannot convert all HKSCS characters correctly.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Or is it because the HKSCS character set is NOT supported by the JDBC driver?
Below is a sample text containg both BIG5 and HKSCS characters:
'i$h%49D$G$Q$T89 Ize _ ^ S( R @ A Y q
Any help/suggestion is most welcome.
Thanks,
Cis

I got the exact same problem as you.
(The Oracle I using is 8.1.7)
Can any one help??

Which unicod character is used in french for ' (e.g. in d'installation)?

which unicode character is used for ' in e.g. d'installation?

0027 - APOSTROPHE
0060 - GRAVE ACCENT
0091 - undefined control character
0092 - undefined control character
00b4 - ACUTE ACCENT
2019 - RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
02b9 - MODIFIER LETTER PRIME
02bc - MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE
02c8 - MODIFIER LETTER VERTICAL LINE
2032 - PRIMEThe accents go on top of the letters (even if you don't know French you must have seen them in words like caf�). The "modifier" characters modify the letter they are attached to so that isn't what you want. The "prime" characters would be used in mathematical text. I don't know why you picked out those control characters.
So what you're left with is the apostrophe (that's on your keyboard) and the right single quote (a.k.a. smart quote if you use MS Word). Either of those would be okay, just as they would be in English.
But I believe that French uses different characters for "spoken dialogue" which you would see for example novels. Instead of the "double quote" symbols, smart or otherwise, I've seen things that look like double less-than and double greater-than characters used.

[urgent] oracle character set and national character set !!(dictionary)

Hi. everyone.
What is the oracle dictionary that contains information of
oracle character set and national character set?
I checked v$database, but there was not the information.
It seems that there are some differences between "nls_* " init parameters
and the database character set.
"Alter database backup controlfile to trace" gave me the character set of db,
but I would like to know whether there are oracle dictionary regarding them.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
Best Regards.

I found the dictionary which contains the information of character set and
natiional character set of database.
select * from nls_database_parameters
where parameter like '%CHARACTERSET';
Thanks for reading.

Multi-Currency and Multi-Language

Hello,
What issues does an ABAP developer need to be concerned about when programming objects that involve multiple currencies and multiple languages?
Rae

Hi Rae,
Can't think of many but few that comes to my mind spontaneously are:
1. When reading data such as texts, make sure you pass language key.
2. Translate each and every text (in scripts, smartforms, data element labels, documentations etc to all the language, use the same logon language in which you want to maintain and test.
3. Currencies should not be much of a problem but if you have to make a lot of calculations, make sure you do them with dimensional consistency, for examply JPY doesn't have decimals!
I would like to watch this thread to learn more.
Thanks,
Aabhas

Need suggestion on PLSQL Create and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

Most of you already know plsql doesn't like create table, so we have to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE for creating table. What if I want to see if the table exist, if not then create the table, later I will insert data into that table.
My problem is it returned me the error saying I am try to insert into a non existing table when trying to compile my code. I think plsql doesn't pick up the execute statement.
what I did is, both create and insert are executed by using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. Anyone have such experience before and willing to share your knowledge?
PS: I am having same problem for creating sequence as well.

I think plsql doesn't pick up the execute statement.Since it is a runtime instruction, it will pick it up at runtime. but to be able to run, it needs to compile the code and in order to compile (so it can run) the code it needs that table/sequence you are referencing to exist already. So, you need to run the code to get the table and run needs to compile the code and compile needs the table to compile. can't go from here to there when you try to mix dynamic sql with static sql on the same object within the same program unit (or dependent units).

USER_FILTER and database character set

Hello,
I'm currently working on the integration of a tool into Oracle Text for filtering PDFs. My current approach is to call a command line tool via a USER_FILTER preference, and this works fine as long as the database character set is AL32UTF8. The tool is creating the filtered text as UTF-8.
I'm struggling now with the case that the database character set is not Unicode, for example LATIN1. I had hoped that I can specify a chain of filters for this situation when creating the index, first a USER_FILTER to get the text out of the document and then a CHARSET_FILTER to convert the filtered text from UTF-8 into the database character set. This is my attempt to set this up:
execute ctx_ddl.create_preference ('my_pdf_datastore', 'file_datastore')
execute ctx_ddl.create_preference ('my_pdf_filter', 'user_filter')
execute ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('my_pdf_filter', 'command', 'tetfilter.bat')
execute ctx_ddl.create_preference('my_cs_filter', 'CHARSET_FILTER');
execute ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_cs_filter', 'charset', 'UTF8');
create index tetindex on pdftable (pdffile) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ('datastore my_pdf_datastore filter my_pdf_filter filter my_cs_filter');
These are the error messages I'm getting (sorry, German Windows):
FEHLER in Zeile 1:
ORA-29855: Fehler bei Ausf³hrung der Routine ODCIINDEXCREATE
ORA-20000: Oracle Text-Fehler:
DRG-11004: Doppelter oder unvereinbarer Wert f³r FILTER
ORA-06512: in "CTXSYS.DRUE", Zeile 160
The relevant message is DRG-11004, which translates to "duplicate or incompatible value for FILTER".
ORA-06512: in "CTXSYS.TEXTINDEXMETHODS", Zeile 364
So here is my question:
Do I understand it correctly that with the USER_FILTER the text is always expected in the database encoding, and that it is mandatory to create the filtered text in the database character set, or are there any alternatives?
Thanks
Stephan

The previous experiments were performed with Oracle 10i. I just saw that in Oracle 11.1.0.7 there is this new feature: "USER_FILTER is now sensitive to FORMAT and CHARSET columns for better indexing performance.".
This seems to be exactly what I was looking for.
Regards
Stephan

Lanovo ix4 300d and european character set for samba shares

Hi,
I am installing a couple of IX4-300d at a client site, struggling to set and fix the samba character set for the Windows shares. Here in Italy everyone is used to put western european characters into filenames (for example è ò ° €) but the NAS acts wierdly when it finds such caracters in folder names and file names.
As you know samba gives the possibility to declare dos charset= ISO8859-1 and unix charset= ISO8859-1 in the smb.conf file but the option is not present in the IX4 setup pages.
Is there an easy way to circumvent the problem and fix this option? As it is now the machine is fearly useless, at least if you need to migrate files and folder from a server or storage with ISO8859 charset already applied.
thanks a lot

Expdp with network_link and different character sets for source and target?

DB versions 10.2 and 10.1
Is there any limitation for implementing expdp with network_link but target and source have different character sets?
I tried with many combinations, but only had success when target and source have the same character sets. In other combinations there was invalid character set conversion (loose of some characters in VARCHAR2 and CLOB fields).
I didn't find anything on the internet, forums or Oracle documentation. There was only limitation for transportable tablespace mode export (Database Utilities).
Thanks

Hi DBA-One
This link
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_overview.htm#CEGFCFFI
is from Database Utilities 10g Release 2 (10.2) (I read it many times)
There is only one thing about different character sets.
I quote:
Data Pump supports character set conversion for both direct path and external tables. Most of the restrictions that exist for character set conversions in the original Import utility do not apply to Data Pump. The one case in which character set conversions are not supported under the Data Pump is when using transportable tablespaces.
Parameter VERSION also doesn't play role here, because the behaviour (character set) is the same if I use for target and source only 10.2 or (10.2 and 10.1) respectivly.
