Some Arabic Characters missing thru dblink from AR8ISO8859P6 to AL32UTF8

Hello all,
we have two databases, one with AR8ISO8859P6 character set, and the other is AL32UTF8. When we try to access the value of the former database from the AL32UTF8, some of the arabic characters are shown as reversed question marks. If anybody knows a fix, or, workaround , please let me know

Hello,
Are you using AL32UTF8 for the PlsqlNLSLanguage parameter in your DAD?

Some Condition types missing during extraction from 2LIS_11_VAKON

Hi,
I am extracting conditions data to BI from ECC through 2LIS_11_VAKON. This datasource uses the fields from table KOMV. The Field KSCHL (Condition type) is also being taken from KOMV structure.
My problem is some condition types are missing during extraction. Say, for example, for a Document condition i have 22 Condition types in KONV table but when i extract the data to BI, nearly 7 conditions are missing, i am getting only 15 condition types for the same document condition in BI.
Why is this happening? I dont have any filters set. Moreover, this is happening in the Datasource level itself.
Please advice. Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Hi Murali,
try to have the manual check with set of data..there must be some mistaken in And and OR logic.

Arabic Characters data is retrieved ??? from database

Hello
on entering Arabic Characters data is retrieved ??? from database 10G 2
any suggestions pls
my pc lang is Arabic default
my nls_lang is ARABIC_SAUDI ARABIA.AR8MSWIN1256
both for : KEY_DevSuiteHome1
and the : KEY_OraDb10g_home1
Regards,
Abdetu

If this is a recent installation and the non-Arabic data in the database isn't critical, the simplest solution would be to delete the existing database on your colleague's machine and to create a new one. Assuming you're using the DBCA to create the database, make sure when going through the installation this time that the database character set supports Arabic data (i.e. a database character set of Windows-1256 or UTF-8).
And if these databases are intended to be separate development databases for the same project, I would suggest spending some time working on developing a process to ensure that each developer's local instance is configured identically and that these configurations match the production configuration. It would be unfortunate, for example, if you were developing on a Windows-1256 database and the production database turned out to have a different character set. The simplest (though not necessarily most elegant) solution would probably to create a template using the DBCA and to use that template on each developer's machine rather than having people individually click through the installer.

I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files. It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them. I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
Thanks again for any help!!!!

It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

'Some images are missing because they were deleted from the document'

Hi,
I created a document in Pages v5.2 last week and have just opened it and received the following message:
'Some images are missing because they were deleted from the document'
When I try and replace the missing images I get the following message:
'The image "filename" couldn't be inserted.'
When I try and reimport the original image I get the following message:
'The image "filename" couldn't be inserted. This image is of an unsupported type.'
If I try and insert an image that was not in the document before, in the same file format, it goes in fine.
If I insert the original image into a blank Pages document it goes in no problem.
I would also like to point out that the data folder still contains lots of versions of images in the document, but does not seem to have any of the ones I am actually using, which I guess is where the problem is. However I have no idea how or why these specific images have been deleted.
Any light on how this problem has come about, and the best possible way to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Alex

I have Pages v5.2.2 on OS X 10.9.4. I can not reproduce your stated issues with images in this version of Pages. I don't have a solution for you. See my test in the third paragraph. If I were experiencing this behavior, I would perform a Safe Boot to clear out System caches, and try again, before kicking Pages v5+ to the curb.
The Safe Boot would be pressing and holding the shift key at boot chime, and until a horizontal progress bar shows on the screen. At the eventual login screen, after you type your password — press and hold the shift key — press the right arrow to login, and release the shift key after the Finder menu bar appears. Then reboot normally.
I have created a new document. Dragged and dropped an image into it and saved. Exited Pages. Reopening worked fine. Deleted the image, and proceeded through the following steps, punctuated by save, exit, reopen, and deliberate image removal. Different .jpg image each time. About mid-way through the following item list, I rebooted the MBA just to throw some "spin" into the process. I did not perform a Safe Boot prior to this series of tests.

Insert > Choose jpg into document

Some characters missing when printing a PDF on Canon MP560

Hi,
I was not sure where to post this. I have a 15" MB Pro and a Canon MP560. I just went to print a PDF invoice and the printed invoice was missing a few letters/characters in random places. They are not missing when viewing the invoice on my Mac but they are if I click print preview.
Odd... Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi, i have the same problem, when i print PDF from "Preview" with Samsung 6200FX in Snow Leopard the "X" characters are missing from sheet. When i try a "save as PDF" in "print" the problem is still on, the characters missing again.
The problem of missing letters appear and when try to compress PDF (Flie-SaveAs-Quartz Filter=Black&White).
This problem is not in Leopard.
P.S Please, If this possible, move this topic in Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard section.

How to take arabic characters in a text box from keyboard.

Hi friends,
I have a jsp file with 2 text boxes.The first one should take only english input while the second textbox should take only arabic characters.I have to do this without changing modes from EN to AR in taskbar.
Thanks in advance

In that case you need to programmatically insert the text at the selection point. You get the selection point using the selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex properties. I have an app where I do that, using this code:
// textInput is the name of the TextInput control
private function insertTextAtSelection(text:String):void
     var start:int = textInput.selectionBeginIndex;
     var end:int = textInput.selectionEndIndex;
     var hasSelection:Boolean = start != end;
      textInput.text = textInput.text.substring(0, start) + text + textInput.text.substring(end);
     if (hasSelection)
         textInput.selectionBeginIndex = start;
         textInput.selectionEndIndex = start + text.length;
     else
         textInput.selectionBeginIndex = textInput.selectionEndIndex = end + text.length;
This is what the code does:
gets the starting and ending positions of the insertion point (in case the user has an active selection rather than just an insertion point).
concatenates the old text with the new text and writes it into the text input
restores the user's previous selection or insertion point (In this case I'm setting the selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex properties rather than calling setSelection(), but the end result is the same.)

After syncing, some items still missing from my phone ,apps and music?

I have imported a cd to itunes but can not get it to sync with my phone, also some apps are missing too??

i had the same fright
The update takes a LONG time... but with the new system, you can keep using your phone during the update, so it doesnt FEEL like it is updating...
you have probably interrupted the update, just like I did
plug your phone in... "continue the update" or hit the sync button to psh it in... and leave it there
unless you have enabled sync over wifi (which still only works when you are plugged in)
just be patient... and there shouldbe a flashing "synching" symbol at the top of your phone screen

Arabic Characters Alef & Lam Appear Incorrect at Runtime using Sun JRE/JPI

Hi,
We implemented Sun JRE for Oracle EBS 11i in Production on 7th Jan 2009.
We went with Sun JRE 1.6.0_07 as we faced new Broswer Minimizing Problem in IE with 1.6.0_10 and 1.6.0_11.
Now we have some issue related to Arabic Characters Alef and Lam - Doc Id 731703.1.
The solution is to use 1.6.0_11 but we can't. I would like to know if there is any work around without using 1.6.0_11.
Thanks
Thiru

Hi,
We have the problem with 1.6.0_11 also.
I checked in TEST instance. Strangly the problem is only while using Arabic Forms thru Arabic Login.
If we login thru English Login and access the same Form in Enlgish and then type in Arabic there is no problem. I got these details from our Arabic Consultants.
I am trying the revert back to jinitiator.
Rgds,

Problem with Arabic characters

Hi:
I don't know if this is the correct place to post the question, but here it goes...
I have an SQL 2005 database, connected via a Linked Server to an Oracle Database.
I have a table in SQL that contains arabic characters, and I need to insert it into an Oracle table.
These characters appear as "????" after being inserted in the oracle table.
I guess I hace some collation/characterset problem, but cannot finf the solution.
The column where the arabic characyers are saved in SQL is defined as:
     [Remarks] [nvarchar](1000) NULL,
And default SQL server collation is: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
When I do a select on this table, it can see arabic correctly.
ORACLE NLS CONFIGURATION IS:
PARAMETER VALUE
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_CURRENCY $
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS .,
NLS_CHARACTERSET AR8MSWIN1256
NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN
NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_SORT BINARY
NLS_TIME_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM
NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM
NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY $
NLS_COMP BINARY
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS BYTE
NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP FALSE
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION 11.1.0.6.0
The sql sentence in SQL server that moves the data to oracle is:
INSERT INTO openquery(Oracle_DB, 'select Ticket_NO,Remarks from webportal.webcc_escal_det')
     (Ticket_NO,Remarks )
     SELECT Ticket_NO, Remarks
     FROM Details(nolock)
Thanks in advance!!
Mariana

I think first you should check your character set
SELECT * FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS where parameter = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET'
For oracle to display correctly, you need to change your character set that caters to Arabic

Arabic Characters Issue

Hi
Following is our environment
DB Version: Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.3.0) 64bit
OS : OEL 5U2
Characterset: AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
We have an opensource application built on php. CHARSET was defined as AR8MSWIN1256 in the configuration file. Data was inserted using browser based interface. Use access the system using IE 8 since it is web based application. Data comprise of both Arabic and English. It is displayed perfectly fine using browser ie Arabic shows proper Arabic characters and English shows correct English.
Problem started when a requirement came to generate some reports using Oracle Reports 10g. Arabic data show as garbage in the reports. Vendor was asked to provide some solution. They suggested to change the CHARSET to AL32UTF8 in the config file of the application. After making the changes, the new data that is inserted in the database can be seen correctly for both languages regardless of the tool (be it SQLDeveloper or Oracle Reports). The old data, however, shows garbage. Surprisingly when data is extracted using scripts in flat files and then imported in the test database after setting environment variable NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 using @/../filename.sql, it converts it properly. Since data is huge and this is taking way too much time, I was hoping if someone could help me in quickly perform this migration? Already tried CSSCAN/CSALTER and DMU but did not succeed. DMU stopped at 5th stage when it was supposed to issue ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET command.
Currently I am installing database with AL32UTF8 characterset and planning to import the schema in it. Is my approach correct? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Sergiusz
Firstly I would like to thank you for replying.
Secondly I was able to move further with the DMU (the issue was due to more sessions that I had to kill to allow DMU to proceed with ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET command).
Here is what I have done so far without any luck.
1) Created a test instance with source database characterset ie AR8MSWIN1256 and performed a full import using DataPump (impdp).
2) Used DMU to perform conversion/migration to AL32UTF8. (this step took almost 5 hours).
3) Used SQLDeveloper to verify the results and data still show as garbage.
Thing that worked for me but is way to slow and not reliable.
1) Save data in file (.sql) using Windows XP client or windows 2003 server. Basically I am generating the whole SQL statements for UPDATE eg UPDATE table SET xx)
2) SET NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 on command prompt of Windows XP client and use SQLPLUS to open sql prompt.
3) Use @path\file.sql (that was generated in earlier step) to update records.
4) Verify via SQLDeveloper that arabic shows correctly.
Issue with above approach is since we have millions of records stored in multiple tables, sometimes while generating the file with SQL Statements, the server CPU touch 100% and then freeze. Also file size grow exponentially and to verify how much of the work was done prior to freezing becomes very difficult.
I still have the DB after using the DMU tool intact so if you could think of some other workaround that will be great.
Again, thank you for helping me with this.

Characters Missing in PDF

I just created a Pages document with a table and in two different cells I typed '20th Century Fox.' I used Superscript (Format>Font>Baseline>Superscript) to elevate the 'th' in '20th.' It looks fine in Pages but when I Export to PDF, everything after the '20' in those cells disappears.
I think this has to be a bug as I cannot figure out what sort of user error could cause this. Has anyone else seen this and do you have a workaround?

I feel like I've just spotted the Abominable Snowman. I received an email from Apple based on this thread. Has anyone ever heard directly from Apple on one of these forums? You think it's some odd sort of spam? I've waited to post about it because I feared, like the Yeti, they might scare off easily. Since they haven't written back to my reply, I'll post the conversation here:
We have heard about your issue from the discussion thread below:

Arabic characters are displaying as question marks in forms 10g

We have migrated our application from forms 6i to forms 10g and now in forms 10g the arabic characters are displaying as question marks while it displays correctly in the old application using forms 6i. I have already set the character set to AR8MSWIN1256 in the registry, but it didn't help. Somebody please help.

@ Sarah, Al-Salamu Alikum We Rahmatu Allah we Barakatu,
Sarah Habibty, why new installation ? In order to select a new suitable character set !!!
Then creating a new instance from the db is a better alternative since it saves time,effort and another back up of his current db is exist safely if needed for any purposes in the future.
@Amer,honestly speaking...
Modifing ur NLS_LANG to > AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
Works for me in both Arabic and English data in 2 applications.This works in my pc.But it didn't works at my boss pc this can happened don't have any reason for that.!!!!
i spent lot's of time trying to search but what i had got is that solution i suggested by a friend of mine.
Now please could you advise me, is it better to create a new instance of database as Amatu Allah has suggested or is it better to change the character set through sql as some others have suggested? Again i suggest to select the short cut way ; to reset the character set through sql after taking a back up from ur data that is currently exist.
then retest again doing the select and test ur data input and retrieval.
SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters
2 where parameter in ('NLS_CHARACTERSET','NLS_LANGUAGE');watching the output if it works that's fine saving ur time & effort .
if not working with the correct NLS_CHARACTERSET then use my previous solution.
Hope this helps...

Amatu Allah
