Special character Support in IDM

We have enabled the special character support in IDM as per the SUN documentation and we are able to populate the special charactes using the IDM admin console also. But when we run a flat file adapter to process a flat file having special character it fails.
It simply displays the ? in place of special character.
Has anyone solved this problem. Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks

Got the solution.
We have to give the encoding in the Flat File adapter configuration.

Special character support in OWB

Hi ,
I have a query regarding specifying escape characters through OWB Design Center. I am writing data from a source table into a csv file using Mappings, deploying and executing through Control Center. In the properties window of the Flat File there is no attribute to specify the escape character. I have specified field delimiter as ' and field left enclosure as " and field right enclosure as ". In csv file i have 5 columns and one of the column is Description. One of the records has value - Color TV 13" Screen. When i open the csv file in Linux i see Description as Colour TV 13" Screen. Where as through excel it is shown as Color TV 13 Screen". Also now when i try to Import this Flat File through Import Wizard in OWB(as Customer will do it) i get one more column.
Basically when " is encountered in Description Colour TV 13" Screen everthing gets messed up. I modified the csv file manually and updated Description to Color TV 13"" Screen, then i could Import the file correctly through OWB.My question is : Is there any way to specify the escape characters while generating/importing a CS file through OWB Design Center . Please suggest.
Thanks,
Sudeep

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!

Special character Validation: error

HI Guys,
I wrote a validation to restict the use of special chracters.
Its a formula based validation, both REAL TIME and BATCH, on the Node.
HasCharacters(Custom.EPMA_Alias, ["]).
However, when I go to put an Alias on a member, it tells me there is a special character in this, but there is not.
I also tried HasCharacters(PropValueCustom.EPMA_Alias0, ["]) with same results.
I also need to add the following characters:
|
Thank you for all your help!.

Hi,
DRM will not support the syntax ["], instead try somethinug like this for your validation logic-
And(
Equals(Integer,Length(PropValue(Custom.Prop)),Length(ReplaceStr(PropValue(Custom.Prop),|,,T))),
Equals(Integer,Length(PropValue(Custom.Prop)),Length(ReplaceStr(PropValue(Custom.Prop),",,T))),
Equals(Integer,Length(PropValue(Custom.Prop)),Length(ReplaceStr(PropValue(Custom.Prop),%,,T))),
Equals(Integer,Length(PropValue(Custom.Prop)),Length(ReplaceStr(PropValue(Custom.Prop),*,,T)))

There are 5 special characters which in xml & < > " ' if the Oracle fields contain any of those characters it will cause invaild xml.
This can be solved at the oracle side be replacing the special characters by it's html encode equivalent, so & becomes & , I think the best way to solve it
is to make a custom pipeline component and translate the special characters there.
There is my Send Port Properties. Do you mean the default biztalk pipeline component ("XML Receive") cannot translate any special characters?

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):

How to escape the special character ' (ascii 39) in a select query?

Hi,
does anybody know how to escape the special character ' (ascii 39) in a select query?
I've tried a lot of ways but nothing seems to work, for example I try to get all
names in table foo where coloumn name contains a '-sign (ascii 39)
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
/Carl-Michael

friends
thanks for ur time and effort that u gave to reply to my problem.
But my main problem is that when my application (VC++ 7) fires the following query in the oracle database , it does not return any rows.
SELECT count(*) FROM ORGANISATION WHERE UPPER(ORGANISATION.ORGANISATIONNAME)
LIKE N'β%' ORDER BY ORGANISATION.ORGANISATIONNAME
the above question in the previous thread was just to check on sql plus as it's editor does not support unicode characters.

Problem in dealing with special-character filename

Hi,
I am facing a weird problem while dealing with a file which has a special character in its name. That character is the big-hyphen, i.e. '' (not the normal hyphen we can type from keyboard), you would have seen this character in MS Word.
My java program is running on HP-UX OS, and its basically trying to copy this file to a Windows target system through socket. But while executing it, I am getting Broken Pipe Exception.
I am applying UTF-8 encoding while running my program (by specifying the argument "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" in the java process), and I am also confirming that the file-encoding is being applied to UTF-8 properly by putting a debug in the beginning of the program. My understanding is UTF-8 supports all the characters exist in this world.
Any suggestion / pointers would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajiv

Fine..... but is there any way to know which encoding has been applied on it ..
Let's say if you create any file on unix-based system in any application, which encoding gets applied there by default ?
This file is basically nothing but an html page created using 'Save As' from the browser.
The person who has created the file is a non-technical .. and won't know much about this all stuff... encoding etc.

Unseen ESSId with special character - Satellite M40

Hi,
I have a Satellite M40 with an atheros AR5005g wireless card.
I have a wireless network with WPA2-PSK encryption. The ssid looks like that : g4s8j6b-special character-o7v35s7gt3q1c6b8
With the latest driver it is impossible to see the ssid an to connect to this network.
I have tried an Atlantis USB Wireless adaptor and it can find the wirelessnetwork (I can not connect, because the USB Adapter does not supported WPA2-PSK)
For me it is a driver 's problem. How can i solve this problem ? This "special character " is not recognising from the drivers isn't it ? is it possible to convert the ssid in HEX code and to insert the ssid in HEX code and the key in HEX code in a data, to force the connection ? (manual connection like Linux)
yours faithfully
Oh this forum does not support the character ... it looks like this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F
(Unicode U+00DF)

Hi,
The ssid works with my other laptop (intel Wireless pro 3945 a/b/g) on Vista and Ubuntu (manual configuration).
The ssid can to be see with the atlantis usb wireless adapter.
> {quote:title=[email protected] wrote:}{quote}
> That SSID is very long. Have you tried using a shorter SSID?
For me that not the problem. On my other Laptop, before it works with my ubuntu system i had to make clean my driver's installation. Then I have converted the ssid and the wpa2-psk key in HEX code. That's why for me, it seems to be a driver's problem but it is not to find a solution anywhere.
How can i try to set up the ssid in HEX code and not ASCII with a win XP system ?
Yours faithfully

How to insert special character from Oracle form builder 10g

Dear all,
I need help. how to insert special character like 'Superscript or Subscript ' from oracle form builder 10g. I had try in Oracle form builder 6i with press ALT+ASCII code in the text item and it work, but in the oracle form builder 10g this method doesn't work... would you like to help me...somebody please...
Best Regard,
Dedy P.T.

What do you mean by insert ... from Forms Builder? Do you mean you want to add it as text in a string of pl/sql code or as part of boiler plate text (label) or a value on the Property Palette?
For special characters you would need set NLS_LANG to something that would support the characters you want to use. For the Builder to see the change, you would need to set NLS_LANG to something like:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
This can be done in the Windows Registry or system. As I mentioned, this will only apply to the Builder and will have nothing to do with a running form. For running forms you would need to set this in default.env. As for things like super and sub scripts, these are font formats and not necessarily characters. For the most part, I don't believe these are supported in Forms.

External Table - Issues With Special Character.

I have an external table that reads from a fixed length file. The file is expected to contain special characters. In my case the word containing special character is "Göteborg". Because "ö" is a special character, looks like Oracle is considering it as 2 bytes. That causes the trouble. The subsequent fields in the files get shifted by 1 byte thereby messing up the data. Has anyone faced the issue before. So far we have tried the following solution:
Changed the value of NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
Tried Setting the Database Character set to UTF-8
Tried changing the NLS_LENGTH_SYMMANTIC to CHAR instead of BYTE using ALTER SYSTEM
Tried changing the External table characterset to: AL32UTF8
Tried changing the External table characterset to: UTF-8
Nothing works. Other details include:
• File is UTF-8 encoded
• Operating System : RHEL
• Database: Oracle 11gR2
Any thing else that I might be missing? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Special character display issue

Hi,
I've been struggling with this issue for some time now and
have not yet found a solution. Basically I am trying to display the
letter 'á' in bold within a dynamic text field, where the text
is parsed from some internal script.
There is nothing wrong with the script as it works for other
special characters. I have embedded the correct glyphs, and even
tried all glyphs.
I have tried several methods of encoding the character in the
scipt such as Unicode Escape, Numeric Entity and URL encoding; no
luck with either. For other special characters I have simply
embedded the glyph and typed the special character into my script
using the charmap instructions and they have worked fine but for
some reason when I want to make it bold it just wont display. The
method I've used to embolden the text is show below, please note
this has worked fine for other characters and the bold version of
the font contains the glyph in the charmap.
"<font face=\"AvantGarde LT
Bold\">Lávese</font>"
This results in: Lvese (in bold) skipping the á
I'm starting to wonder if this is a problem with the software
itself. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to give them a go.
Thanks in advance for any assistance
P.S. my e-mail is [email protected]

Pl identify which exact version of 10g, along with the database characterset.
Going by what you have stated, your database characterset is most likely WE8ISO8859P1, which does not recognize the single quote (or apostrophe) or the bullet point.
You will need to use a characterset that supports these characters - Oracle recommends AL32UTF8
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch6unicode.htm
If you can recreate this database, use AL32UTF8 then perform your conversion.

Getting special character while saving adobe form from portal

Hi All,
I am getting Special character while saving adobe form. I am using webdynpro java application, in which I am using download file UI element.We are facing this issue after support packs were implemented in staging system.
Kindly advise.
Regards
Shashwat

Hi,
We have ABAP system as backend system seperately and Single sign on is configured.
when we access the portal with domain name line http://hostname.domain/52000/irj/portal, we are able to access the adobe form which is develope on abap system without any issue.
but our issue started when we are trying to access portal only with hostname as http://hostname:52000/irj/portal
we are able to login to portal but when we are trying to open the adobe form we are getting error
No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password
Since you have configured SSL, I assume that this configuration is done with fully qualified hotsname. Hence the certificate is generated based on this hostname.
Now when you access your portal without typing fully qualified hostname, system is unable to locate a relevant certificate. Hence it lands up with a message "No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password"
Hope this answers your query
