Problems with special characters uploading data into oracle database

Greetings
I have a problem uploading data into oracle tables from sybase datasource. The data that I want to upload is in Spanish, for example when I have a varchar field with the data 'Consultoría', in oracle table the data upload with interrogation symbols.
I have my source and target datastores configured as follows.
Any suggestion? Thank you for your time

Chack section 10 Locales and Multi-byte Functionality in the SAP Data Services Reference Guide for an exhaustive description of NLS settings.
As a summary, following settings are required:
locales in the datastore definitions match the actual locale used in the associated databases
the locale of the DS engine allows for source to target translation
the character set in the target database supports storage of accented characters

  • 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

  • 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,

    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();

  • Regarding loading of excel data  into oracle database

    hello,
    Can someone help me in knowing that how can we load excel sheets data into oracle database.
    I will be really thankful to you.
    Gursimran

    Hi,
    There is tool given by oracle "Oracle Bulk Loader "
    you can use this.
    But in order use this you need a control file, which specifies how data should be loaded into the database; and a data file, which specifies what data should be loaded.
    Example :- this is the control file which has information how the data is processed.
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE test.dat
    INTO TABLE test
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
    (i, s)
    Example :- test.dat which is the data file or say your excel sheet or document
    (1, 'foo')
    (2, 'bar')
    (3, ' baz')
    example of Loading :-
    sqlldr <yourName> control=<ctlFile> log=<logFile> bad=<badFile>
    sqlldr testing control=test.ctl log=test.log
    Thanks

  • 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 characteres

    Hi. I have a problem with java. I�m making an application that works with special characters and displays correctly on my local machine, as I use escape characters such as &igrave; for �. The problem is when I deploy the application on a unix machine. All of the special characters (�, �, �, etc) appear like a �?� (question mark). Any tips, please?

Any tips, please?First step: read [this excellent introduction into Unicode|http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html], it will give you the basics you need to solve this problem.
    How do you input and output those characters? Simply print them to the console? Or write them to a HTML file (since you mention &<something>; notation)?
    "?" is normally the result when you convert a String (which is always in UTF-16 encoding in Java) to an encoding that can't represent your characters (ASCII for example).

  • Problem with specials characters like '€' or 'œ'

    Hello,
    I'm having troubles with specials characters such as '€' or 'œ'.
    I use an application connected to a 9.2.0.7.0 database on a w2003 server.
    Characterset of the database is FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252.
    In my workstation the value of [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0\NLS_LANG] is also FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252.
    But when I type such specials characters through the application, they are replaced by '¿' in the database. The datatype of this column is varchar2.
    Can anyone help me ?
    thanks

    Check if database characterset supports these special characters
    check client's nls settings.
    check client machine's language settings (converts characters in driver level)
