Question on Special Character RSKC

Hey guys,
I wonder if you guys can help, our load keep getting special character (line break) which display as square. And just got to know that nothing is stopping out clients from putting in chinese, german or even russian characters into the text box of your source system.
So I was wondering how do I allow to accept such wide range of special characters in RSKC or can i just switch RSKC off?
pts will be rewarded

Hi,
I think you are facing an invalid character issue.
This issue can be resolved by correcting the error records in PSA and updating it into the target. For that the first step should be to identify if all the records are there in PSA. You can find out this from checking the Details tab in RSMO, Job log , PSA > sorting records based on status,etc. Once its confirmed force the request to red and delete the particular request from the target cube. Then go to PSA and edit the incorrect records (correcting or blanking out the invalid entries for particular field InfoObject for the incorrect record) and save it. Once all the incorrect records are edited go to RSA1>PSA find the particular request and update to target manually (right click on PSA request > Start update immediately).
I will add the step by step procedure to edit PSA data and update into target (request based).
Steps
1. Force the request to red in RSMO > Status tab.
2. Delete the request from target.
3. Come to RSMO > top right you can see PSA maintenace button > click and go to PSA .
4.Edit the record
5. Save PSA data.
6. Got to RSA15 > Search by request name > Right click > update the request from PSA to target.
This should solve your problem for now.
As a long term you can apply some user exit in source system side or change your update rules to ensure that this field is getting blanked out before getting loaded in cube or add that particular char to permitted character list in BW (Run TCODE RSKC
Input the <character> and execute the program) This will add <character> to the allowed characters list.

    We have an oracle report which selects data from a database table. Report shows a name field and names with a special character is showing as upside down question mark.
    The name is Simon John ễễ BaileyŠğčẫ
    But when we run the oracle report the name is showed with 6 upside down question marks
    I am not sure if these characters are unicode? (beyond western european character set)
    Oracle database: 11.2.0.1 with nls_characterset = AL32UTF8

  • Special Character being replaced by Question Marks in Java Mapping

    Hi All,
    I need some help on Java Mapping related to special characters.
    The problem is that i'm using a Java Mapping to add some information to the XML inside the Interface Mapping. This works fine on our development environment but, in our production environment, it replaces the special character with question marks (eg.: á --> ??).
    I'm suspecting of some configuration on the Java Virtual Machine that sets the encoding, but i don't have access to it. Does anyone have any clues about this problem?
    Thanks a lot,

  • File Adapter - special character in Filename

    Hi,
    i have a question concerning file adapter.
    Scenario: we are polling files via file sender adapter (FTP).
    Problem: if the filename contains a special character, an error is thrown with 'The System cannot find the file specified'
    Scope: Special character in filename (not in payload)
    Installed: XI 3.0 SP 19 on Linux
    Questions:
    - what FTP implementation does XI use?
    - What do i have to check/upgrade to unicode?
    - is it an OS problem or an Java problem or a XI problem?
    - or is it not possible copiing files with special characters in filename?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    The file/FTP adapter supports both passive and active FTP data connection. You can select the data connection while configuring the adapter.
    The file/FTP adapter follows specification RFC 959. The specification can be found on the Internet under  www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0959.txt.
    For FAQs about the file/FTP adapter, see SAP Note 821267. Please note that you'll need an account to log in on service.sap.com.
    Question: How are you specifiying the file name? i.e. Are you using placeholders, like ?, *, *.txt, etc ?
    If there's a problem with the filenames, then it should be a problem in the JAVA implementation of the adapter I assume. So you could for instance build your own adapter extension to by-pass that problem.
    Just for your information; I haven't encounter a problem with filenames in other projects.
    Good luck!

  • Request.getParameter(): special character handling problem

    Hello, there:
    This should be an easy question for the gurus in here.
    I use a string attached to the url as the parameter string, which includes spaces. the system automatically converts them to %20, but when I receive them in my servlet using request.getParameter, a special character, &Acirc; appears; I couldn't proceed with it.
    I suppose this is a common problem but seems that I didn't find topics about it on this forum.
    So anyone can help? Any encoder/decoder APIs to handle it?
    Thanks a lot,

  • Unprintable special character in RDP file

    We're having strange issue. We use RDP files generated in RDP client, we then sign those using rdpsign.exe.
    Recently after upgrading our infrastructure from W8/2012 to W8.1/2012R2 we noticed that every RDP file generated in RDC 8.1 client contains a special character on first position that is not visible in normal text editor and is only visible in hex editor.
    This character wasn't there in W8/2012. When I create the RDP file manually (typing (copy/pasting) all the options in a text file), it doesn't contain any special character, but when I later sign that file file rdpsign, it adds that character again.
    How do we get rid of it? It's preventing our provisioning system from substituting username.

    Hello MarkosP,
    Thanks for contacting Microsoft.
    These bytes are regular UTF-16 byte order marks. See here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark#UTF-16
    If the tool you use on the RDP file does not support UTF-16, you can try to convert the file to ASCII. This will probably work for most RDP files, except if some
    string uses some unicode character not present in the ASCII character set. Here is some info (see the powershell section in the first post/question):

    select name from foo where name like '%\'%';
    select name from foo where name like '%{'}%';
    select name from atg_horse where name like '%chr(39)%'
    ... but neither works, I end up with a ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated
    I would apriciate any help

    'ADP & Liablility' is printed as 'ADP &: Liablility' in the web. We are not sending any value thr' the url. This is just a report title. Taking the value from the database and printing it.

  • Special character not being converted to upper case

    Hi all,
    I have an issue with special characters and upper/lower case.
    The character "ü" is in one of the values of an InfoObject and when loading we get an error message for this value. The character "Ü" is in RSKC, but still we are getting an error when loading.
    We are converting the values to upper case in the transfer rules, but this special character is not being converted to upper case...
    We start with the value "Heüringen" and after conversion we have the value "HEüRINGEN" where we want to have "HEÜRINGEN".
    Do you have any idea why this characer is not being converted?
    Any ideas are welcome!

  • Special character issue while loading data from SAP HR through VDS

    Hello,
    We have a special character issue, while loading data from SAP HR to IdM, using a VDS and following the standard documentation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e09fa547-f7c9-2b10-3d9e-da93fd15dca1?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    French accent like (é,à,è,ù), are correctly loaded but Turkish special ones (like : Ş, İ, ł ) are transformed into u201C#u201D in Idm.
    The question is : does someone know any special setting to do in the VDS or in IdM for special characters to solve this issue??
    Our SAP HR version is ECC6.0 (ABA/BASIS7.0 SP21, SAP_HR6.0 SP54) and we are using a VDS 7.1 SP5 and SAP NW IdM 7.1 SP5 Patch1 on oracle 10.2.
    Thanks

    We are importing directly to the HR staging area, using the transactions/programs "HRLDAP_MAP", "LDAP" and "/RPLDAP_EXTRACT", then we have a job which extract data from the staging area to a CSV file.
    So before the import, the character appears correctly in SAP HR, but by the time it comes through the VDS to the IDM's temporary table, it becomes "#".
    Yes, our data is coming from a Unicode system.
    So, could it be a java parameter to change / add in the VDS??
    Regards.

  • Strange special character

    I have a special character in my data that I want to replace any where it is present. It's like a slanted " over the letters (like over A, B, etc) and it's generally there for Spanish names. I want to take it out.
    Example: Ñ
    I want to show it as N. When I load it into an ODS, it gives me an error. How can correct it? I don't even know how to type it. I copy-pasted it.
    How can I do this? Thanks!

    Hi Uday
    You can maintian these in RSKC
    you can write a routine to convert it as well
