Special Characters Error
When I play songs that contain special characters, an error occures: iTunes changes the symbol into something else!
Example:
Röyksopp - What Else Is There? (Trentemøller Remix)
authomaticly becomes
Rˆyksopp - What Else Is There? (Trentem¯ller Remix)
When I fix it, iTunes doesn't change it back. I have over 5000 songs in iTunes, so I don't want to fix ALL my songs manually. Solutions? Thanks!

Best solution so far: Convert your ID3-Tags into version 2.4.
Or wait for ITunes 7.7.1 which I hope will be available soon.

0CUSTOMER Special Characters Error in Load
Hi Experts,
I am loading Customer Master data from R/3 into BW via 0CUSTOMER_ATTR extractor. Some user-entered fields in R/3 such as NAME, NAME1, STREET etc have some special characters - which look like a square.
This data used to come over into BW w/o errors. Now I have added some date fields to the extract eg CREATED_ON. All records that have the special characters now show-up incorrectly; as in ALL fields after the special characters have shifted to the left. So a few characters from CREATED_BY have spilled into CREATED_ON, Telephone Ext has spilled into Telephone Num and so on.
This is how the data is coming into the PSA from R/3. So I can't even check for special characters in the trans routine. ( The data is already bad in the PSA).I checked RSA3. there is no such spillage on the R/3 side. The spilling of data is happening between R/3 and BW.
Any Idea whats going on here and how to fix this?
thanks,
Kartik.I think you have to check infoobject length in BI and the order of the infoobjects in the infosource compared to extractor fields.Any incosistency here may cause the spillage of data.
The new fields created in R/3 especially with varying lengths of data seems to be causing the trouble.. -
Hi,
what should be done if any errors raise due to special characters.what to be done in RSKC? please tell me the steps clearly taking an example..
thanks in advance,
jackHi,
1. Pass the Value ' ALL_CAPITAL' in RSKC this should resolve minor issues with special characteristics
2. Copy the Word with special Characteristics and Past it in RSKC and execute
this will resolve the issue when ever this word is appeared while data loading
Further if it does not resolve your issue
you need to write a routine in Rules /Transformations to handle the special characteristics using function Module CALL FUNCTION 'RSKC_ALLOWED_CHAR_GET'.

Special Characters Error (During Upgrade 4.6b to ECC 6.0)
Hello,
We are stuck in a problem, some of the programs are giving errors like
"In Release 4.0, the special character "Ñ" - as here in the name "AÑO1" - is no longer allowed."
How do I resolve problem relating to special characters like Ñ.
Many of our programs have same kind of error as people on client place are using spanish keyboard.
Can it be resolved by code page? If yes, how?
Please help
Regards,
Abhishek...Hello Ruchit,
Thank you for the reply,
Error Description
"In Release 4.0, the special character "Ñ" - as here in the name "AÑO1" - is no longer allowed."
Why I am getting the error as "Special Character Ñ No longer allowed in release 4.0".
Can you please check my statement
data ño(2). if you have a unicode system. If this works?

Error in PSA with special characters
Hello,
I'm having a problem with sprecial characters in PRD system.
This happen with standard extractor for Confirmations in SRM module, 0BBP_TD_CONF_1.
I have 5 records with error in PSA. The field that have the error is 0bbp_delref and it has the text: GUIA ENTREGA Nº2.
The error message says that field OBBP_DELREF has special characters that are not supported by BW.
The field is char 16 and in spro I have the characters:
QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLǪNºZXCVBM/~^´`* '()"#$%&!?.-0123456789«»<>
In QUA, I created confirmations with this text and it worked fine and the characters in SPRO are the same.
Any idea?
Thanks and best regards,
MariaHi Maria,
There will be no issue with update rules as the issue is with Data..
ALL_CAPITAL should resolve your issue, .otherwise try individually executing those spl characters in RSKC..
have you tried in SPRO...
Check in this table RSALLOWEDCHAR in SE11 and find what all characters allowed(permitted) in PRD system...
please go through the above mentioned blog once
Thanks,

Error during data load due to special characters in source data
Hi Experts,
We are trying to load Billing data into the BW using the billing item datasource. It seems that there are some special characters in the source data. When the record with these characters is encountered, the request turns red and the package is not loaded even into the PSA. The error we get in the monitor is something like
'RECORD 5028: Contents from field **** cannot be converted into type CURR',
where the field **** is a key figure of type currency. We managed to identify the said record in RSA3 on the source system and found that one of the fields contains some invalid (special) characters that show up as squares in RSA3. The data in the rest of the fields, including the fields mentioned in the error looks correct.
Our source system is a non-unicode system wheras the BW system is unicode enabled. I figure that the data in the rest of the fields are getting misaligned due to the presence of the invalid characters in the above field. This was confirmed when we unassigned the field with the special characters from the transfer rules and removed the source field from the transfer structure. After doing this the data was loaded successfully and the request turned green.
Can anyone suggest a way to either filter out such invalid characters from the source data or make some settings in the BW systems such that the special characters are no longer invalid in the BW system? We cannot write code in the transfer rules because the data package does not even come into the PSA. Is there any other method to solve this problem?
Regards,
TedHi Thad,
I was wondering, if system is unicode or non unicode that should not matter the amount and currency field . As currencies are defined by SAP and it is in pure English at least a currency code part of 3 Chars.
Could this because of some incosistency of data ??
I would like to know for Which currency had some special characters it it in that particular record ??
Hope that helps.

Error while handling special characters ( and &) in Sender File adapter
Dear All,
Scenario: Third Party System --> (File adapter) SAP PI 7.1 (SP05) --> (Proxy) ECC
We are receiving CSV file and no mapping is required in PI as all the processing is being done by third party tool. But we are receiving special characters like ',",>,< and & in the csv file.
When we are using File Type as TEXT and File Encoding as ISO-8859-1 than we are getting error. We changed File Type to BINARY and than we are able to handle ',",> but having issue in handling < and &.
Any idea how we can handle it.
Please note trhere is no Mapping in SAP PI so cannot uise Java mapping.
Thanks a lot
ChanakyaHey,
You can add ABAP Script in Receiver Proxy for eliminating or replacing with NULL or empty. Since you dont have mapping for formatting these kind of junks you can follow the above approach.
Else, you can remove the junks at OS level while running a small script and make it available to PI.
Or else, you need to create mapping for sender and recevier structure though it is same, then you add a very simple UDF for fine tune.
Use this UDF
Here a is the input value.
String b = "";
b = a.replaceAll(",", "0");
b = a.replaceAll("@", "0");
Like all the special characters you can take and replace with zero.
return b;
Thanx

Special characters in sender soap adapter provoke HTTP 500 error
Hi,
SAP R3 is sending a SOAP message to PI through SOAP adapter.
When the payload does NOT contain german characters like ü, it works fine.
However, when the payload DOES contain special characters, the SOAP adapter replies with an HTTP 500 code error.
If I use SoapUI to send the soap message, and setting UTF-8 as the encoding in the program options, it will go through fine. If I change to ISO-8859-1 it will fail.
I'm thinking in two options:
- Make sure that SAP R3 sends the message in UTF-8 format (I think this is happening currently), as if SoapUI works, then probably R3 is not using UTF-8.
- Force the adapter to use UTF-8. Is this possible? In the sender SOAP adapter I've added AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean (type local EB), and then Transform.ContentType for parameter name and --> text/plain;charset=utf-8 for parameter value. The sender adapter will fail then for every message, with or without special characters.
Anyway, in this link (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/a4/f13341771b4c0de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm) it seems to say that the sender soap adapter cannot be extended with modules, so maybe that's the reason why it fails when trying to add a module.
ThanksIf I use SoapUI to send the soap message, and setting UTF-8 as the encoding in the program options, it will go through fine. If I change to ISO-8859-1 it will fail.
I'm thinking in two options:
Check the use of option 1 ..... the URL which SAP is using to send the data can containe the encoding information.
Check this SAP note: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/856597
From the above note:
Q: What character encoding is supported by the SOAP sender adapter?
+you can supply the encoding information with the xmlenc variable in the request URL as in+

Mapping error because of special characters
Hello,
We are extracting data from SAP system and sending it thru XI to 3rd party system (writing xml files on to file server).
Now, because of presence of few special characters in the data, there is a mapping exception error in XI.
The data which is causing the issue is "ABRANCENTRO MEDIAÇÃO IMOBILIÁRIA".
In SXMB_MONI, i see that this is failing is Request Message mapping step.
We can not remove special characters as this is master data. How can i fix this issue?
DO i need to use any modules in communication channel for this purpose?
Any leads are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
ChandraHi Chandra,
an UDF cant help you assumedly coz that characters lead to "not wellformed" XML. Any parser would complain about that. So the PI parser would throw an error before executing the UDF.
The question is: what does the receiver expect? You wrote you like to write xml files to a server. But if the XML is not wellformed, the receiver would not be able to parse them, and therefore usually not able to process them.
If you really want to create such a file (not wellformed XML) you can create that with a not parsing mapping (ABAP or Java). So you map the message just with string operations. This is not very recommentable and only possible for very simple mapping cases.

Adding users with special characters results in error
Hi all,
I know it is not best practice to implement a Active Directory with user names containing special characters.
Unfortunately, we come across some sites that do have these special characters in their user names.
So, maybe it is a reason to tell the customer to reevaluate their naming policy, but in some cases this is
just not possible / desirable. What we see when you try to add a user in the Sun VDI portal (1801) with
a special character in his or her name, the VDI Portal goes back to the main login screen of the portal and
displays an error:
Internal Error Occurred!
You have been logged out because a consistent response could not be guaranteed.
If the error continues to occur, contact your local technical support and provide .....
Does anyone know a workaround / fix for this.
We are running Sun VDI 3.1 Revenue Release.
Kind regards,

Runtime mapping error due to the special characters in source XML
Hi All,
I am facing problem with the special characters coming in the source XML message. it is failing at runtime in the mapping level. when i test with the same XML message manually in graphical message mapping it works.
it looks like a UNICODE problem which we face noramlly in ABAP as well. but looking for a solution.
For your reference i am giving the data which i am recivieing and the error message below.
the problem is with the character .
Source payload error:-
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/WINNT/profiles/CG1009/Local Settings/Temp/a173eb8_2721HTML000003'. Line 26, Position 22
Early response is appreciated.
Thank youIf your message contains special chars and the encoding is not being set, then the error is of the system which is sending the message, not XI's. The webserver should return the correct encoding.
At adapter engine, You can set the enconding for the messages you send (for example, in Soap adapter module, set XMBWS.XMLEncoding parameter with value iso-8859-1), but not for the messages you receive.
As a workaround, you could try using a Java Mapping to change the encoding manually. For that, set the encoding of the OutputFormat of the XML you'll serialize. Try the following code piece for the mapping (inside a try/catch declaration):
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document input = documentBuilder.parse(in);
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(XML, "ISO-8859-1", false);
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(out, format);
serializer.serialize(input);
For that code to work, you'll need to import xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar in Imported Archives of mapping objects, in Integration Repository. Both are available at http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/ .

just download the Excel file (*.xls) and try open with Word-MS. In the document search by the string that you have mentioned in the question. (Use Ctrl +F).
If you see something like "ABC bla bla ba & instead of & , then you have to pass the data through the code I've mentioned.
You can get more details on encoding special characters UTF-8 in Google.com or Sun Websites etc.
You can also encode the & in hexadecimal format to get the desired output. -
Error of Special Characters in Export to Excel
Hi,
I guess the error you are getting is a Parser error. To solve this problem, before putting the data on the XML file, you have to pass the data through an encoding process. For UTF-8 the code for encoding should be something like.
public java.lang.String encodeSpecialChar( java.lang.String attributeValue )
//@@begin encodeSpecialChar()
//Created By : AVIK SANYAL Date : 28 March 2008.
// Check for special characters like "&" in the String.
// replace "&" with "&"
// Returns the new encoded String.
try {
if (attributeValue != null) {
attributeValue = attributeValue.replaceAll("&", "&");
attributeValue = attributeValue.replaceAll("<", ""<"");// this is & lt
attributeValue = attributeValue.replaceAll(">", "">"");//this is & gt
} else {
} catch (Exception ex) {
// wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
// "Failed to convert the character.",
// true);
//Returns the encoded String.
return attributeValue;
//@@end
Try this and let me know if this works. The reason is that in Binary Cache method, the data is passed in an XML format and the MS-Excel application reads this to show it in the spreadsheet. The characters '&', '<' and '>' can cause failure in reading from this file.
Thank You
Avik

Error in parsing special characters
We are getting the following error when we parse a clob with special characters like \226(- special dash char), \231(the "TM"-Trademark logo), \256(the "R"-Registered logo )
"Invalid char in text" when the parser is loaded in the db.
But when we tried to parse this xml file as a file input (parser is now outside the db), it parses the file fine and inserts the data into the db.
We are wondering if there is a difference in parser parsing special characters between inside and outside the db.
We are running xml parser version 2.0.2.7 and if this is a bug and being fixed in later version, is there a workaround for this versionPlease try our latest 9.0.1 version
