Problem in dealing with special-character filename

Hi,
I am facing a weird problem while dealing with a file which has a special character in its name. That character is the big-hyphen, i.e. '' (not the normal hyphen we can type from keyboard), you would have seen this character in MS Word.
My java program is running on HP-UX OS, and its basically trying to copy this file to a Windows target system through socket. But while executing it, I am getting Broken Pipe Exception.
I am applying UTF-8 encoding while running my program (by specifying the argument "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" in the java process), and I am also confirming that the file-encoding is being applied to UTF-8 properly by putting a debug in the beginning of the program. My understanding is UTF-8 supports all the characters exist in this world.
Any suggestion / pointers would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajiv

Fine..... but is there any way to know which encoding has been applied on it ..
Let's say if you create any file on unix-based system in any application, which encoding gets applied there by default ?
This file is basically nothing but an html page created using 'Save As' from the browser.
The person who has created the file is a non-technical .. and won't know much about this all stuff... encoding etc.

How to deal with special character in source file

Hi experts,
i am doing a file to file scenario in which my source file contains many special characters when i am puting this file into moni its going with the special character .My source file is a fixed length file so in content conversion i have specified the file length but due to these special charcters these field lenght is also varing.So please guide me how to deal with these special characters in sender adapter
regards,
Saurabh

you could try using a Java Mapping to change the encoding manually. For that, set the encoding of the OutputFormat of the XML you'll serialize. Try the following code piece for the mapping (inside a try/catch declaration):
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document input = documentBuilder.parse(in);
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(XML, "ISO-8859-1", false);
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(out, format);

Error: Invalid dimension member with special character / in BPC NW 7.5 SP7

Hi experts,
We are encountering the following problem in our Financial Planning application.
We are migrating our existing BPC solution from one server to another through backup and restore. The existing solution was on BPC NW 7.5 SP 5. The profit_centre dimension in the existing solutions has several member ids with special character '/' (forward slash). The dimension never threw an error when processed in the existing solution and there is planning transactional data against these member ids.
While the entire configration , appset , files were successfully restored through UJBR on the new system (BPC 7.5 SP7) through UJBR (backup and restore), the masterdata could not be restored only for this Profit_centre (masterdata for other dimensions were processed successfullu). All the member ids with / are rejected for this dimension. The same error is thrown if processed through the admin client from the member sheet.
Error: Dimension member PC_FF/WS/NT is an invalid member ID
Error in Admin module
Is there any setting which need to be made to allow / character in member ids? Any suggestion to get around this problem would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Abhiman

Hi Abhiman,
Yes, you need to maintain the transformation file to correct all dimension member IDs. Can you please refer to the following link with a similar issue:

DIS PDF with special Character like cyrillic or chinese

Hello,
does anybody know how I can solve my Problem with PDF-Documents with Special Character which are Checked In (Tcode CV02N)
If I want to open the file again, it will be downloaded to
C:\Users\....\AppData\Local\SAP\SAPGUI\tmp\####
and not with the Special characters.... so SAP says
File
C:\.......
could not be accessed
So is there any flag to set in the customizing that the downloaded file will be with the correct Name or any note?
(Our System is a Unicode System)
(my Laptop has all the Windows updates including the language packages for Russia and China)
Thanks in advance
Stephan

Hello,
the SAPhttp.exe is in the Folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\Unicode
on my laptop
therefore I think it should be the Unicode Version?

5)When saving the save report through IE browser in excel or PDF display correct report name øäåýþ in excel and PDf file.
Even after making changes in character encoding to UTF in the Firefox options (Content tab-> font & colors : advanced button -> Character encoding does not make any difference.
Has anyone came across such type of issue?
Whether this is limitation of Firefox or bug.

What special character do you want?
your special character is probably beyond ZZZZZ in the numenclature of characters.
enter you special character instead of the Zs in the number range definition and try again.

No there are no restrictions from LDAP,
also I am able to give 32 character password in Coreid Console,
it seems that the web services have a restriction on password length.
Moreover, these web services used to accept 32 characyer passwords few months ago. we lately recognized this issue happening recent times.
I suspect some Oracle hotfix or patch would have made the difference.
But I am clue less how to trace it,
Any help would be appreciated

Problem with special Character & in Proxy

Hi,
We have a File --> XI --> R/3 Scenario. In this scenario, from XI we are passing the data to R/3 by calling the Proxy. When the data in the file has special character like & (for example <Companyname>Dave&Busters</Companyname>), it is failing in R/3. But if I replace "&" with "&" in the file it works fine. Is there any solution to this problem without writting custom code in XI to replace & with &.
Thanks
Sudheer

>But if I replace "&" with "&" in
> the file it works fine. Is there any solution to this
> problem without writting custom code in XI to replace
> & with &.
No. If the sender of the message provides an XML format with an unescaped &, then the XML is not valid and therefore cannot be processed.
All adapters (IDOC, RFC, File with content conversion) perform the escaping and deescaping.

Problem with special character in Unix file

Hi All,
Need a help here. We have unicoded our system recently.
It's regarding a special character (umlaut) that comes through a 3rd party system to an Unix file. This gets displayed in AL11 file as # instead of ö.
As our program picks the file from Unix, it also has the # but we want ö.
We could have done some fixes in our code to fix if AL11 file at least had ö and we got # in our program.
But it's the other way round. So, how can we get rid of this issue? Please suggest.
Regards,
Sanj.

How Al11 is reading file ? Look for
OPEN DATASET "yourfilename" IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT
IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
If the above code is there .. you might need to play with different 'OPEN DATASET " options .
Also look for Note 1174468 - Non-7bit-ASCII characters used in ABAP Workbench
Note 1227961 - Names of text fields with non-7-bit ASCII characters
Good Luck !

How can I deal with case-sensitive filenames referred to inconsistently inside other files?

I have downloaded into Dreamweaver an existing web site that I'll be taking over from someone else. The site was built with Microsoft Front Page and apparently now runs on a Windows web server. While redesigning the site, I'd like to upload it to a web server belonging to me, where I can maintain a work in progress that is accessible to others (so they can give me input as I go along). But my site is running on a Unix system, where filenames are case-sensitive.
In the site I've inherited, I've discovered at least one file that is referred to in other files sometimes with one character in upper case and other places in all lower-case. The actual filename contains the upper case character and locally, on my Windows system, it doesn't matter. But on the server the file is not found when it is referenced in all lower-case.
Of course, I can create an all lower-case symlink on my Unix server for the mixed-case file that I know about. But I don't want to look through every file on the site for other files which may vary, case-wise, in how they are referenced. Is there any way that Dreamweaver can help me; for example, by going through and changing all mixed-case filename references inside files, to be consistent with the actual filenames?
I know this is a lot to ask of Dreamweaver and I'm not optimistic. But if anyone knows of a solution, I'd appreciate it.

he means that if you use the file > find function
(on windows this can be called upoon using CTRL + F)
you will be able to go through all the files which are cauing you a problem and change their names so that they are all in the same case
be warned thou
if case sensitivity is your problem,
and
if some code references to your files are written in one case and some are written in the other case, simply changeing the case of the file names will not help.
what you are trying to do will only work if
> ALL of the file names are in one case
or
> ALL of the files names are the same case
bcause this will mean you can change the one which does not always match using CTRL + F
if there is a mix and match on both sides then you are in for a lot of work, if this problem involves multiple names then i would advise you to simply start over!

Often when I click on sites that offer slide show type presntations I only receive partial pictures with about 75% hidden. Dealing with the character encloding in view does not help. How do I fix?

picture but not text is blanked out by about 75%. Dealing with character encoding does not fix the problem.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.

Unseen ESSId with special character - Satellite M40

Hi,
I have a Satellite M40 with an atheros AR5005g wireless card.
I have a wireless network with WPA2-PSK encryption. The ssid looks like that : g4s8j6b-special character-o7v35s7gt3q1c6b8
With the latest driver it is impossible to see the ssid an to connect to this network.
I have tried an Atlantis USB Wireless adaptor and it can find the wirelessnetwork (I can not connect, because the USB Adapter does not supported WPA2-PSK)
For me it is a driver 's problem. How can i solve this problem ? This "special character " is not recognising from the drivers isn't it ? is it possible to convert the ssid in HEX code and to insert the ssid in HEX code and the key in HEX code in a data, to force the connection ? (manual connection like Linux)
yours faithfully
Oh this forum does not support the character ... it looks like this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F
(Unicode U+00DF)

Hi,
The ssid works with my other laptop (intel Wireless pro 3945 a/b/g) on Vista and Ubuntu (manual configuration).
The ssid can to be see with the atlantis usb wireless adapter.
> {quote:title=[email protected] wrote:}{quote}
> That SSID is very long. Have you tried using a shorter SSID?
For me that not the problem. On my other Laptop, before it works with my ubuntu system i had to make clean my driver's installation. Then I have converted the ssid and the wpa2-psk key in HEX code. That's why for me, it seems to be a driver's problem but it is not to find a solution anywhere.
How can i try to set up the ssid in HEX code and not ASCII with a win XP system ?
Yours faithfully
