Problem with special extra characters

Hi Experts,
I´m working in SAP BW 7.0 using Data Integrator XI 3.1 with SAP BW as a target and BO DI as a source and we have some problems with the load process
I have problems with the conversion of special characters that exist in DI and in BI arrive as an entirely different character, for example, Ñ is replaced with Å , and so on witn the á, é, í, ó, ú, etc
In SAP BI these characters were included in the T-code RSKC (Maintenance of the permitted extra characters in BW) as special characters. In addition I tried to change the character set settings in order to use the 1100 SAP internal, like ISO 8859-1 in the infopackage but it doesn't works neither.
The character encoding used in DI by default is utf-8.
Can anyone hel me to solve this issue?
Thanks in advanced.

This worked in BW 3.5:
Use function module RSKC_CHAVL_OF_IOBJ_CHECK to covert Special characteristics into Latin ones.

Problem with special national characters

Hi,
How can I turn on the Oracle Application Server 10g to correct expose special national characters (ANSI 1250 Central Europe page)?
It hosted on Windows Server 2003 where are appropriate character resources.
Thanks in advance
KM

Check the available languages in SMLT (trn). In example stated below the characters coming from DI are Spanish characters, which are gettnig converted to Swedish 1s.

Problems with special characters like "u00F6" "u00E4" "u00FC"

Hi,
we currently face some major problems with special characters like "ö" "ä" "ü". First I thought it is a SP02 specific problem but it still doesn't work with SP03.
When I start an import the import manager shows correct converted value. "ö"s "ä"s "ü"s are displayed correctly. But after I've done the import I look into the Data manager and I see instead of these characters charcaters like "̈". (note: the character should show a little square box - but the forum cannot desplay it)
How can I solve this problem?
Regards
Nico

Hi Nico
Just try it out the following steps, hope it solves ur issue.
<b>To set one or more values back to their original values:</b>
1. In the Import Manager Source Values grid, select the values that you want to set back to their original values.
2. Right-click on one of the values and choose Set to Original Value from the context menu, or choose Values > Apply Value Conversion Filter > Set to Original Value from the main menu.
3. MDME sets each value back to its original value, which appears in black in the Source Values grid.
<b>NOTE : You can use the Set to Original Value filter only at the value-level and not at the field level.</b>
thanks

Problems with special characters in InputStream or XPath

Hello everyone,
I am having problems with special characters such as ", ', - and so on, everything becomes ? (questionmark). (Not with special nordic characthers (å,æ,ø) though.)
The encoding of the XML is UTF-8, and the server that holds the webservice is setting encoding to UTF-8 also, so no conflict there.
What I have done is something like this:
{code}
String url = "http://www.formula1.com/rss/news/latest.rss"; // This is not the feed I use, it is a custom XML document
InputSource is = new InputSource(url);
DocumentBuilderFactory fct = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = fct.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(is);
Element rootElement = doc.getDocumentElement();
XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xPath = factory.newXPath();
out.print(xPath.evaluate("/rss/channel/title", rootElement)); // The xml is not a RSS feed, this is just an example.
{code}
Please let me know what I am doing wrong, or give me a hint of how to solve this in another way.
Best regards,
G.Hansen

Hello, thanks for you reply. I had to rewrite your code a little, and I think that your code would not really compile, if you tried yourself :-)
I ended up with something like this:
our environment is running in 1.4 mode, so I could not use the for-each loop :-(
public String printEntities(String s) {
     char[] sArray = s.toCharArray();
     StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
       for (int i = 0; i < sArray.length; i++) {
         if (sArray[i] > 256)
              sb.append("&#x" + Integer.toHexString(sArray) + ";");
     } else
          sb.append(sArray[i]);
     return sb.toString();

Problems with non-ASCII characters on Linux Unit Test Import

I found a problem with non-ASCII characters in the Unit Test Import for Linux. This problem does not appear in the Unit Test Import for Windows.
I have attached a Unit Test export called PROC1.XML It tests a procedure that is included in another attachment called PROC1.txt. The unit test includes 2 implementations. Both implementations pass non-ASCII characters to the procedure and return them unchanged.
In Linux, the unit test import will change the non-ASCII characters in the XML file to xFFFD. If I copy/paste the the non-ASCII characters into the Unit Test after the import, they will be stored and executed correctly.

Problems with Greek accented characters

After the update to AIR 2.0.2 I cannot input into any application greek with accented characters.
Tried TweetDeck and Twhirl and neither work (used to before the update)
Is this a bug or it needs some configuration
I am working on Fedora13 but heard the same problem reported on Ubuntu.
Have not tried on MS Windows or MacOSX

Hi,
I'm using Adobe AIR 2.0.3 on Windows machine. I wrote an app in Aptana Studio (build: 2.0.5.1278522500) with ExtJS library and I found the problem with polish national characters like ż and Ż (all the other national characters like ą, ę, ń are possible to input).
In order to reproduce, here you have the sample code in ExtJS:
http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/dev/examples/form/anchoring.html
As you will see - it is possible to input ż and Ż in text fields.
Now, use the same code to build AIR applicaton and then run the application. It is not possible to input those characters in Air window. Right Alt+z acts like undo operation - it removes last entered text. All the other characters work fine.
Here is the code I used:
<html>
    <head>
        <title>New Adobe AIR Project</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="lib/ext/resources/css/ext-all.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="lib/ext/air/resources/ext-air.css" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/air/AIRAliases.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/ext/adapter/ext/ext-base.js"></script>
           <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/ext/ext-all.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/ext/air/ext-air.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        Ext.onReady(function(){
    var form = new Ext.form.FormPanel({
        baseCls: 'x-plain',
        labelWidth: 55,
        defaultType: 'textfield',
        items: [{
            fieldLabel: 'Send To',
            name: 'to',
            anchor:'100%' // anchor width by percentage
            fieldLabel: 'Subject',
            name: 'subject',
            anchor: '100%' // anchor width by percentage
            xtype: 'textarea',
            hideLabel: true,
            name: 'msg',
            anchor: '100% -53' // anchor width by percentage and height by raw adjustment
    var window = new Ext.Window({
        title: 'Resize Me',
        width: 500,
        height:300,
        minWidth: 300,
        minHeight: 200,
        layout: 'fit',
        plain:true,
        bodyStyle:'padding:5px;',
        buttonAlign:'center',
        items: form,
        buttons: [{
            text: 'Send'
            text: 'Cancel'
    window.show();
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
</html>
Is it possible to input those characters or is there a workaround for this (disable undo operation or so) ?
I really appreciate any help.
Kind regards,
Marcin.

Vibe 3.2 problems with special characters?

I'm not sure where the issue lies here, the client or Vibe, so I'll throw
this out there to see if anyone has run into this problem. I have a user
with a + sign in their password. If he tries to log in from either his
Android phone or his Android tablet, he gets a bad password error. Using a
different browser on the tablet, he was able to get logged in. Using my
Android phone, he was also able to get logged in.
Are there any known issues with Vibe not supporting certain browsers for
special characters in passwords? I don't think he had the problem with Vibe
3.1.

Yes, you're right. Same issue here with a '' character. Found this:
'6.2 Character Restrictions in Usernames and Passwords
Do not use extended characters or double-byte characters in Novell Vibe usernames and passwords.
This includes usernames and passwords that are synchronized from an LDAP directory into Vibe.
This limitation is caused by the open source Spring Security (http://static.springframework.org/
spring-security/site) that Vibe uses for authentication, in combination with the various authentication
methodsboth basic authentication (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_a...authentication) and
form-based authentication (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_ba...tication)used by
single sign-on products such as Novell Authentication Manager, by Web services, and by WebDAV.
Only ASCII characters are properly interpreted in all combinations.'

Extremely frustrating for anyone using strong passwords...

Problems with special characters with XML/PDF printing

Hi,
Our setup:
Apex Listener 2.0.5
Oracle DB 11G
Weblogic
Apex 4.2.2
Various recent major browsers
We used this blog post so we could do some PDF printing with APEX Listener:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.be/2013/04/pdf-printing-with-oracle-application.html
The problem is special characters. For example the "&" sign comes out as "%26amp;" when we export an XML.
Could anyone provide some insights of what we can do to fix this?
Regards,
Joni

Problems with special characters in JSP app

Hello!
I am working for a JSP application which uses special characters.
The database used is a Novell MySQL version, it is fine.
I use Tomcat, Apache.
I do not think that the versions are important.
ON NT:
The application works fine with special characters.
Obs: I tried only with Tomcat; I didn't use Apache.
ON NOVELL:
If I try to insert some special characters,
they arrive just fine into the database.
The problem is when I want to display them.
I tried with jsp directive to set the charset,
or with HTML meta tag - no result al all.
Everytime I use the same work station, and the same browser to do the tests.
Please help with any ideas.
Another question, maybe relayed:
Can I set Tomcat so that when it creates the servlets it uses a custom charset I can indicate?
THANK YOU!

The characters I want to use are french characters, e-acute, etc.
I take the data with request.getParameter, POST method, etc.

Problem with special characters getting converted into '#' in portal

Hi All,
The special characters like " - ", " ' ", " ` ", are getting converted into '#' when the smartform is displayed in portal.
I have a smart form in which the text contains the above special characters and they are getting displayed as ' # ', when the form is invoked in portal. We are not able to trace the problem.
I need your input on this ASAP.
Thanks in Advance,
Sowmya

This could be caused by conversion routine on the field.
in sapscript, can use &FIELD-NAME(K)& to ignore conversion routine
To see this and other options, in text edit of script select menu option Insert>Symbols>New and then type field name and select desired check box options - field will be placed in script with relevant formatting characters

Problem with special characters! Need a big help!

Hello!
Please be patient with me. English is not my main language.
I have a big problem with my countries special chars.
Our spec. chrs are á,é,í,ó,ö,ő,ú,ü,ű
When I save a document every other characters (even other special chars) are okey, but ő and ű will be o and u after saving my document.
This is really annoy me. I've read a lot of forums in my country, but I can't find any solution.
When I go to "Edit > Preferences > Fonts" and no document is open, Font Settings: Unicode
If I change this, and I reopen this window it will be on Unicode again. I can't change it.
When I go to "Edit > Preferences > Fonts" and my documents are open, Font Settings: "Nyugat-európai" (means Western European)
If I change this, and I reopen this window it will be "Nyugat-európai" (Western European) again. I can't change it.
It should be: "Közép-Európai" (means Central European) but every time I change it, it reverts to this defaults.
Please help me!
I have to reopen every file in Notepad and rewrite the ő,ű chars.
Thanks,
Averin Kilian

Ok, solved:
From, DW do Edit | Preferences | New Document and set the Default Encoding to
whatever you wish it to be. That will set the default for all new
documents in Dreamweaver.
For the existing pages, you will need to open them and do Modify | Page Properties | Title/Encoding to set the encoding as you desire.

Problem with special characters (&) when printing using XSL-FO ...

Hello everybody !!
I have a problem when I want to print a Report with a link to a URL where the character "&" is present :
I want to have something like : src="file:///...webfile?param1=val1*+_&_+*param2=val2"
In my XSL-FO file, I wrote : src="file:///...webfile?param1=<xsl:value-of select="IDARTICLE"/>*+_<xsl:text>&</xsl:text>_+*param2=<xsl:value-of select="MARQUE"/>"
When I try this only with FOP, it works. However, when I upload the XSL-FO file to ApEx, it says my PDF file is corrupted when I want to open it.
What do I have to put the '&' symbol when I want to print the Report ??
Could anyone help me ??
Thanks by advance,
Pierre C.

I believe this relates to something I have actually found in my own testing.
It is probably due to the Template not being URLEncoded prior to transmission to the FOP processor.
I actually determined that special URL characters, like '+' and '&', are lost on transmission because the type of submission is POST with x-www-form-urlencoded, but the fields are not actually encoded entirely. The XML Element contents are encoded prior to transmission in order to preserve data.
Work around would be to URLEncode the template as it sits in the WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS. I have been able to successfully get around the problem by doing that.

Problem with special characters on Safari

Hi everyone,
Once again, I am in desperate need of your help, as I am facing a very annoying issue on Safari (version 5.1)! Indeed, I cannot use special characters such as 'ê' on various websites, including Facebook or even this very page.
I have a QWERTZ keyboard layout (Swiss layout), which is very handy because of its ambivalence. However, when I try the usual key combination for 'ê' (as there is no specific key for that character), which is ^+e, nothing happens. I have to type several times the '^' symbol only to get a weird bar at the bottom of my page displaying many useless '^' at the same time (see picture below).
However, this problem does not arise whilst typing in Google's search-bar or other websites. I also checked on the Internet to see that this was a common issue but could not manage to find an answer to it.
I hope you will, because it is really annoying to use each time a copy/past...
Cheers!

More likely a bug that Apple has to fix. Do you have this problem with any other browser, like FireFox or Chrome?
