Regarding Character set

Hello,
How can I enable the arabic character set to my Oracle XE
SQL> SELECT USERENV ('language') FROM DUAL;
USERENV('LANGUAGE')
AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8Thanks & best regards

If this is the "Universal" variant of XE server, then the Database Character set already supports most possible language scripts or alphabets, including arabic. AL32UTF8 is Oracle's implementation of Unicode support. (The site says the standard "...provides the basis for processing, storage and interchange of text data in any language")
XE for Windows [downloads page|http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xewinsoft.html] states that: "Multi-byte Unicode database for all language deployment, ...".
Or are you perhaps referring to the APEX user interface? (Don't know if the Apex dev tool/envrionment UI is available in Arabic.)

  • Problem with character set - Reports 11.1.1.4

    Hi!
    I have a problem with Oracle Reports 11g regarding character set configuration. The default character set WE8ISO8859P1 works, so PDF reports have a regular display except for Eastern European (EE) letters which are replaced by "¿" sign.
    So, when I set any other character set in reports.sh, which would be a normal step to get EE letters, I'm always getting Greek Alphabet in PDF reports. Why Greek Alphabet?
    The character sets I tried to use are: EE8ISO8859P2, UTF8 and AL32UTF8.
    I changed uifont.ali and included PDF Subset with all four Arial font variants and, of course, I placed all fonts in fonts folder which is pointed by REPORTS_FONT_DIRECTORY.
    In Reports Builder everything works fine, but when I have to deploy the report to the Reports Services, the problem occurs.
    Also, when I've tried to execute PDF report using In-Process Reports Server (rep_wls_reports_hostnameasinst1) instead of AS Instance Reports Server (RptSvr_hostnameasinst1, which is a regular server), I'm getting Greek Alphabet in PDF reports even if the default character set is WE8ISO8859P1 in reports.sh. What is wrong with it? Where is Greek Alphabet configured?
    The production environment is 64-bit Oracle Linux 5.6 with Weblogic 10.3.4 and Forms&Reports 11.1.1.4. Forms works fine with character set EE8ISO8859P2 defined in default.env file.
    Thanks in advance!

    Dejan

    Thank you, Denis!
    Doc 300416.1 was very useful but Note 356221.1 - A Practical Methodology on Porting Reports from Windows to Unix with Different Font is actually crucial for configuring Reports on Linux.
    Also, there is a bug in 11.1.1.3 and 11.1.1.4, which can be fixed using the patch ( Note 1138405.1 - PDF Reports With Font Subsetting Raises Error "Bad /Bbox" on 64-Bit Linux ).
    Kind regards!

  • Character Set conversion fails

    Hi,
    We have 2 databases, both are UTF8. One database fetches the data from other via a DB Link. Say there are 2 databases A and B. A fetches data from B. A is in WE8ISO8859P1 character set and B is in EEC8EUROPA3 . While fetching the data european characters come as junk in database A. I tried using convert but that too fails.
    Can you please suggest if there is any way where i can have the characters presereved?
    Thanks.

  • Oracle XE and character set

    Hello all,
    I installed Oracle XE on RHEL 4 Linux and I found out that database character set is AL32UTF8. Does anyone know why oracle choose this character set? Maybe because of NLS_LANG env variable? Is it possible to change it to EE8ISO8859P2? Since database is still empty I can drop it and crate new database.
    Do you think it is possible to set some env variables and do new oracle xe instalation including database with iso charset?
    I want to have EE8ISO8859P2 charset because of doing exp/imp from another oracle iso db to oracle xe and it is much easier to do this without charset conversion.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    regards,
    Miha

    When you download XE, you have a choice - take the 'western european' character set download, or the 'unicode' download.
    No other choices.

  • Changing Character set in SAP BODS Data Transport

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing issue in extracting data from SAP.
    Job details: I am using an ABAP data Flow which fetches the data from SAP and loads into Oracle table using Data Transport.
    Its giving me below error while executing my job:
    (12.2) 05-06-11 11:54:30 (W) (3884:2944) FIL-080102: |Data flow DF_SAP_EXTRACT_QMMA|Transform R3_QMMA_EXTRACT__AL_ReadFileMT_Process
                                                         End of file was found without reading a complete row for file <D:/DataService/SAP/Local/Z_R3_QMMA>. The expected number of
                                                         columns was <30> while the number of columns actually read was <10>. Please check the input file for errors or verify the
                                                         schema specification for the file format. The number of rows processed was <8870>.
    reason: When analyzed I found the reason for this is presence of special characters in data. So while generating the data file in SAP working directory which is available on SAP Application server the SAP code page is 1100 due to which the delimeter of the file and the special characters are represented with #. So once the ABAP is executed and data is read from the file it is treating the # as delimiter and throwing the above error.
    I tried to replace the special characters in ABAP data Flow but the ABAP data Flow doesnot support replace_substr function. I also tried changing the Code Page value to UTF-8 in SAP datastore properties but this didnt work as well.
    Please let  me know what needs to be done to resolve this issue. Is there any way we change the character set while reading from the generated data file in BODS to convert code page 1100 to UTF-8.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sudheer.

    Unfortunately, I am no longer working on this particular project/problem. What I did discover though, is that /127 actually refers to character <control>+<backspace>. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delete_character)
    In SAP this and any other unknown characters get converted to #.
    The conclusion I came to at the time, was that these characters made their way into the actual data and was causing the issue. In fact I think it is still causing the issue, since no one takes responsibility for changing the records, even after being told exactly which records need to be updated ;-)
    I think I did try to make the changes on the above mentioned file, but without success.

  • Changing CHARACTER SET in OracleXE

    Because this is my first post in this forum I like to say first "Hello" !
    I do my first steps after installing OracleXE (OracleXEUnv.exe). In the database informations I saw that the Character Set (NLS_CHARACTERSET) is "AL32UTF8"., but I want to change it to "WE8MSWIN1252".
    When I tried the SQL command "ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET WE8MSWIN1252;" but the system shows the message "ORA-12712: Der neue Zeichensatz muss eine Obermenge des alten Zeichensatzes sein".
    How can I change the NLS_CHARACTERSET parameter ? Could it be that I have to deinstall this version und use instand the western european version (OracleXE.exe) ?
    Kind regards, Michael

  • Character set migration error to UTF8 urgent

    1) this is server side program yaa when connecting with forms i am getting error .When i am running this program using direct sql its working when i running compiling i am getting this error.
    3) yes i am using 11 i (11.5.10) inside its calling forms 6i and reports .Why this is giving problem using forms.Is there any setting changing in forms nls_lang
    with regards

    Hi Ramya
    what i understand from your question is that you are trying to compile a procedure from a forms interface at client side?
    if yes you should check the code in the forms that is calling the compilation package.
    does it contains strings that might be affected from the character set change???

  • Different Character sets (Codepages) in the same Login

  • Character sets and conversions

    Hi all,
    were facing a quite complex problem, for which I'am not even able to specify were it is going wrong or what needs configuring, partly for lack of experience and partly for combining different tecnical areas from which I'm only responible for some of them.
    So I'll sketch breefly the situation, and hopefully you might give me some guidelines or hints as to where to look at.
    The setup : web application (so clients access by use of browser) on Weblogic- Linux platform, Tuxedo on Iseries , and as far as I understand some DB internally to Iseries where data is stored.
    Data is entered in the DB by use of some data-entry application that comes with the iSeries.
    The problem: consulting data by use of the web-aplication , some characters dont show up correctly , e.g. @ in email addresses, e's with accents, ...
    For the chain being "browser <-> WL <-> Tuxedo <-> DB" , the problem might be different points. But from trace beeing activated , we could see that the response going out of tuxedo to WL is not correct...
    Any hint as to what to look for, what can configuration is important, would be welcome ...
    Some sub-questions:
    - I understand Tuxedo is always "installed" in English , with no other option. This means that f.e. logs are in English.
    But can/need to define some character set?
    - Between Tuxedo <-> DB you can use som conversion tables ?
    Any help would be apreciated , were quite lost ..

    Hi,
    Given that you are running Tuxedo on iSeries, I'm guessing you are running Tuxedo 6.5 as the port for the current Tuxedo release on iSeries hasn't been released yet. Tuxedo 6.5 does not directly support multi-byte character strings. The two common buffer formats for string data in Tuxedo are STRING which doesn't support multi-byte characters, or CARRAY which does support multi-byte characters as a CARRAY is essentially a blob. Do you know what buffer type the Tuxedo application is using to send data to WebLogic Server?
    In Tuxedo 9.0 and later, direct support for multi-byte strings was added in the form of the MBSTRING buffer type. This buffer type supports multi-byte strings with a variety of character sets and encodings.

  • How to Set my own Character Set in DBMS_LOB Package

    Hello All
    A Very Good Morning.
    I am using DBMS_LOB.CONVERTTOCLOB To convert data in BLOB to CLOB.
    My Database Character set is AL32UTF8.
    I want to change that one to WE8ISO8859P15.
    In DBMS_LOB.CONVERTTOCLOB package there is a parameter BLOB_CSID.
    In the Documentation it is said that I can set this value to a desired Character set.
    But the value should be of Integer Type.
    How to set the Character Set conversion.
    Regards
    Madhu K

    To get the id you looking for run:
    select * from V$NLS_VALID_VALUES where parameter='CHARACTERSET';make sure your characterset is in there and then run:
    select NLS_CHARSET_ID('WE8ISO8859P15') from dual;This is the id or number you want to pass into the DBMS_LOB.CONVERTTOCLOB.

  • Lync in combination with Plantronics P540-M: Display changes to logographic character set

    Hello,
    I've recently started to use Lync on my iMac 21,5" from 2011. Now the program itself works fine until i connect a Plantronics P540-M usb phone. Lynn keeps operating as it should apart from the fact that
    the display on the Plantronics phone changes to some sort of asian character set. I'm using Lync version 14.0.10. 
    Does anyone recognise this problem and have a solution for this?
    With kind regards,
    Patrick van Kleeff
    Windesheim University of Applied Sciences

    Language is passed to phone from Lync.
    Try this:
    Go to System Preferences – Available from the Apple menu.
    Click on Language & Region – It is the flag icon in the top row of icons.
    Make sure English is the primary language. If another language is listed, remove it.
    Reboot
    Launch Lync
    If that does not work try this:
    Change the language from "English-Primary" to "English-US"
    Reboot
    Go back into Settings, Language & Region
    Change the language back to "English-Primary"
    Reboot
    Launch Lync

  • UTF/Japanese character set and my application

    Blankfellaws...
    a simple query about the internationalization of an enterprise application..
    I have a considerably large application running as 4 layers.. namely..
    1) presentation layer - I have a servlet here
    2) business layer - I have an EJB container here with EJBs
    3) messaging layer - I have either Weblogic JMS here in which case it is an
    application server or I will have MQSeries in which case it will be a
    different machine all together
    4) adapter layer - something like a connector layer with some specific or
    rather customized modules which can talk to enterprise repositories
    The Database has few messages in UTF format.. and they are Japanese
    characters
    My requirement : I need thos messages to be picked up from the database by
    the business layer and passed on to the client screen which is a web browser
    through the presentation layer.
    What are the various points to be noted to get this done?
    Where and all I need to set the character set and what should be the ideal
    character set to be used to support maximum characters?
    Are there anything specifically to be done in my application code regarding
    this?
    Are these just the matter of setting the character sets in the application
    servers / web servers / web browsers?
    Please enlighten me on these areas as am into something similar to this and
    trying to figure out what's wrong in my current application. When the data
    comes to the screen through my application, it looks corrupted. But the asme
    message when read through a simple servlet, displays them without a problem.
    Am confused!!
    Thanks in advance
    Manesh

    Hello Manesh,
    For the database I would recommend using UTF-8.
    As for the character problems, could you elaborate which version of WebLogic
    are you using and what is the nature of the problem.
    If your problem is that of displaying the characters from the db and are
    using JSP, you could try putting
    <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%> on the
    first line,
    or if a servlet .... response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
    Also to automatically select the correct charset by the browser, you will
    have to include
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> in the
    jsp.
    You could replace the "UTF-8" with other charsets you are using.
    I hope this helps...

  • How to define the character set of an outbound EDI batch in BizTalk 2010?

    I have some EDIFACT files with a character set of UNOC though lowercase strings and umlaute should be allowed. These files should be batched in an outbound EDIFACT file. But the batching orchestration of the related send port throws some validation errors.
    If I convert the strings to uppercase characters everything's working fine. So it seems that the outbound batching orchestration uses the UNOA character set internally for the validation of the EDIFACT files...
    How can I change the character set of the outbound batching orchestration in BizTalk 2010? No settings found regarding the character set of outbound batching orchestration in the party and agreement configuration so far. Thank you
