KB survey for Spanish and German Community!

Hi All,
All this while we have KB survey prompt as well as a static link when users view a KB article. However, the survey language was in English format only.
Now, English, Spanish and German KB articles should have their respective language of KB survey set.
How will the survey appear to customer ?
Static link at the bottom of each KB article page

Hi Tahir,
If Android device system language is English, Agentry Client works correctly. But when i change device system language to Turkish, client gives error during transmit and shuts down.
I add "localizations=tr" to Configuration part on Agentry.ini as you said.
Here is my language part in JavaBE.ini file;
[LANGUAGE]
LANG=EN-en;TR-tr
I also add global parameter on SAP Framework Configuration like this document;Agentry: Controlling backend logon language setting
If I do not add "localizations=tr" field, AgentryServer starts correctly but Android client (Lang:Turkish) shuts down while first transmit. If I add "localizations=tr" field, AgentryServer gives " Localization Exception (Skipping the 'tr' localization because no matching override files were found. )"
Can you help me about this language problem?
Best Regards,

German special characters are not returned from catalog

When the german special characters are part of the descrition of the article from the the catalog (external). ( reaching catalog from PM order components screen)
It returns '#' in place german special characters ö ('Umlet') . This is because of the initial charset from the HTML page. How do we get the correct charset of the loaded HTML page.
But when we execute the same through WTS the german characters are correctly returned but charset is incorrect. Can someone help me to resolve this?

Hi ,
Can you pls check the customization OCI interface Convert of HTML fields to SAP Fields where in you maintained the text, which is inturn mapped to conversion module in the customization for example IOCI_DESCRIPTION_W.

Problems with special Characters in filenames and folders

My problem is that i have a small portlet which lists some files under each other. These files have sometimes the special character & in there name.
If now a person clicks with right mousebutton on such a link, the saving dialog only shows a cryptik filename.
Example:
filename = harry&sally.pdf
rightclick and saving the file the new name is something like: 2C576B9904F63BBEE040200A2A040606.pdf
All other files even if they have blank characters or characters like ä, ö ... it works but not with &.
Do anyone could say me how i can manage this?

having special characters in filenames is not a safe and healthy practice as you may see. this is specially true for the content that has to be displayed online using Oracle as Oracle uses & and ? for passing parameter values in dynamic URLs. 

I would recommend estimation of the cost of fixing filenames to tackle this issue rather than to get a way-around to just bury it again. if you are using Unix platform, it should not be more than a line worth of command to fix for all such files using stream-editors; in windows you may take some more. but i understand, changing filenames might require one to see the impact of those changes on all other places where these files have been called. 

with kind regards,

Prevent using special characters in file and folder names?

I've recently begun adding windows clients to my network. In doing so, I've found that on my file shares from OS X server, the windows clients are unable to see files and folders which have names containing special characters such as / ? < > \ : * | ”
Unfortunately my accounting department has been creating files with these characters in their names for several years. I would like to find if there is a way to prevent them from using a defined set of characters in the file and folder names to prevent them from "accidentally" doing so in the future.
I've found that by turning off streams support on SMB in OS X server, that my windows clients can at least see that a file or folder should exist, albeit with a corrupted file name. Removing the special characters from these names allows the proper name to become visible and the file accessible.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

PS: basically it's not a url encoding issue.
I can url encode "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu",
and pass it in a url query string. But my issue is not
with an url query string, it's with an actual URL, that is,
the actual name of the directory. It
can't be "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu". But I
want to allow the user to name their directory like that
if they want. So I need a way to encode this into characters
that can be used for an actual
directory on the server.

Unable to add special characters such as # and ( in headers of Report in Text format

Hi,
I am working on developing a report that will be exported to tab delimited text format from SSRS. The Report has been developed and it is getting exported to tab delimited text format. However, special characters in the heading are getting trimmed. I would
like to get these special characters in the heading of text file. Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi Abhijit,
Per my understanding that you have add an extension which export the report as .txt format, now the issue is the special characters"#" not display after exportted, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue , this is by default, when you type some special characters "#" as the textbox name in the properties window or as calculatted field name you will get error pop up window,
if you type the text in the textbox as "#" it will also not display in the CSV or tab delimited text format report.
But we have some alternative method to make them display some way, more details information below for your reference:
Display "#" in the table header
If we want to make them display in the table header, we need to create an new table an put all the table header as one record in the table, because the value in the table can display "#" correctly：
I assumed you have four columns as the table header(Test1#,Test2#,Test3#,Test4#) please create an new table (HeaderTable )to store these value:
Create two dataset2:
Dataset1: display the record from step1
DataSet2：display the record of the report
Create two Tablixs as below and both remove the header column, Tablix1(Dataset1) diplay the value comes from the step1 as the new header column:
Tablix1(Dataset2):Report Data
In this way, when export to tab delimited txt, you will got the table header display correctly.
Display "#" in the textbox outisde of the tablix
If you just want to display "#" outside the tablix, you can just add an calculatted field(Test) and use expression like below to specify the value which you want to display in the calculatted field:
="test######test"
Then you can use below expression in the textbox:
=first(Fields!Test.Value, "DataSetName")
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

How to compare two strings whether both are equal while ignoring the difference in special characters (example: & vs & and many others)?

I attempted to compare two strings whether they are equal or not. They should return true if both are equal.
One string is based on Taxonomy's Term (i.e. Term.Name) whereas other string is based on String object.
The problem is that both strings which seem equal return false instead of true. Both string values have different special characters though their special characters are ＆ and &
Snapshot of different design & same symbols:
Is it due to different culture or language?
How to compare two strings whether both are equal while ignoring the difference in special characters (＆ vs &)?

Hi Jerioon,
If you have a list of possible ambiguous characters the job is going to be easy and if (＆ vs &) are the only charracters in concern awesome.
You can use the below solution.
Before comparing pass the variables through a replace function to standarize the char set.
$Var = Replace($Var,"＆","&")
This is going to make sure you don't end up with ambiguous characters failing the comparison and all the char are "&" in this case.
Similar technique is used to ignore Character Cases 'a' vs. 'A'

XMLParser and Special Characters

Hi,
I'm trying to read in an XML Document from a stream (e.g. a file) using XMLParser. The document contains german text (i.e. lots of special characters like umlauts �, �, � and others).
If I read this stream into a text string all these special characters are perfectly handled (i.e. � looks like an �, etc.).
However, if I import the stream into an XMLParser.Document using ImportDocument the umlauts seem to be scrambled. If the imported document is without any changes exported again to a stream (using ExportDocument) the umlauts are not displayed correctly anymore.
Example Stream:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<UserID>M�ller</UserID>
If this stream is imported into an XMLParser.Document and then exported again it contains
<UserID>M��ller</UserID>
I'm using correct XML encoding iso-8859-1 which is for western european languages and I guess it should not be a Forte locale issue since simple string handling of the stream works fine.
Thanks for any hints,
Daniel

Let's start at the basics. Right now you are quite limited by your database character set as US7ASCII. You need to migrate to something that will support Latin and Greek characters at least. Maybe EL8ISO8859P7, or UTF-8. Please look at documentation Scanner Utility, available for Oracle 8.1.6 and above to make sure migration is safe before doing any import/export. The title of paper is: Database Character Set Migration, at: http://technet.oracle.com/products/oracle8i/listing.htm#nls
UTF-8 will give you more versatility in the languages that your customer supports now or in the future. There is some performance overhead using Unicode but how much depends? I would base a large part of the Unicode decision on how likely it would be that other languages would need to be supported in the future and special character support.
The special characters that your customer would like to support may already exist in Unicode. IF they don't or you choose another character set then your customer will need to look at the National Language Support Guide, Appendix 'B' "Customizing Locale Data"
Are you running Greek windows? Otherwise how will you enter Greek characters? If you are using Greek windows you probably need to set your client NLS_LANG to EL8MSWIN1253.
On your Forms questions you might want to take a look at the following :
1. Chapter 4 of "Oracle Forms Developer and Reports Developer Release 6i: Guidelines for Building
Applications" discusses How to design MultiLingual Applications.

German Special Characters in XSTRING to STRING conversion

Hi Experts,
I have a CSV file (created from a Windows Excel file) with German Special Characters (e.g. 'ä', 'Ä') and I am trying to read this into ABAP internal tables. By using the THTMLB tag 'thtmlb:fileUpload' I get an XSTRING and I am trying to convert this into STRING. However, wheny trying to do this I get an exception 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE'.
This is my coding:
data: conv type ref to cl_abap_conv_in_ce.
conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = lr_upload->file_content ).
conv->read( importing data = lv_content ).
Note: lr_upload is my XSTRING object from the file upload, lv_content is a STRING.
In the CSV file the German special characters look fine and the SAP system is a Unicode system, but it seems like there are some problems with the conversions somehow. Any ideas from the experts?
Thanks a lot and Regards,
Jens

As you mention a csv file I'm wondering if your encoding is wrong: I.e. when you create your instance of cl_abap_conv_in_ce you don't specify the encoding of your source hex string, so that means the default encoding is used, which should be UTF-8 in your case. So if your csv file is not encoded in UTF-8, specify the correct encoding in the create method and see if that helps.
Depending on how you get the file contents you might actually be able to combine the file retrieval with the conversion in one step. E.g. if the file is read from the application server you could specify the used code page via [open dataset ... in legacy text mode ... code page|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPOPEN_DATASET_MODE.htm#&ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_4@4@]. Similarly method gui_upload of class cl_gui_frontend_services also allows you to specify a code page.
If all of this doesn't help, post some further details on your file (e.g. sample content & encoding) and possibly add some further details from the exception you're getting. As you mention a Unicode system it basically means that we should be able to convert all characters without any problem as long as we specify the correct source code page.
Cheers, harald

Special characters and syncronization on multiple ...

Hi people.
I am syncronizing my 6280 with 2 PCs. Unfortunately there is a problem when syncronizing entries with special characters, like accents, and letters not in the english alphabet. PC Suite seems to add spaces to such entries. Thus when I syncronize again, the entry is recognized as a different entry than the original and is added again. Then I have two almost identical entries, one with strange spaces, and one with the correct accents/letters. Has anybody encoutered this problem and found a good solution?
Kind regards.
Thomas

Yes, that is the solution I came to as well. But when PC Suite is available in languages where these characters are normal, I find it a little strange that they don't sync right.
No, I haven't contacted Nokia. With these kinds of issues I always search forums first. They seem a much more valuable source of information.

Special characters break Google Calendar sync

Hi!
I have multiple calendars (office through exchange, private in google, wife's in google) and noticed today that calendar items with special characters (tried with ä and ö) do not sync "up" to google, not to my calendar in google, not to my wife's calendar in google. The items with ä do sync down from google if created there first. I.e. otherwise the calendar seems to sync fine.
Can anybody confirm?

Special characters in XML (UTF8, escapes etc)

This may seem like a simple problem, but I'm kind of a slow learner, so any help would be appreciated.
I'm generating XML output via ordinary PL/SQL procedures i.e. not using the Oracle XSQL stuff. The data is built up into a XML document, which will be parsed within the server, then passed out to a client, probably as a CLOB.
The data may contain "special" characters such as "<&>" and so on. Is there an existing function to translate these into an "XML-safe" form within the text, or do I need to trap and translate them individually?
Also, the database may contain foreign characters e.g. Thai or Chinese. Will this be handled transparently by my XML-extraction stuff - which just selects the data from the tables and writes it to a CLOB inside XML tags - or do I have to do something to make sure the XML comes out in a safe UTF format?
Thanks,
Chris

use & instead of &

Need help in setting file name with special characters in attachment

Hi
We have a requirement where we need to set the file name that contains special characters (like Russian) and send mauil using Java mail.
If we set the file name as such, the attachment in the email contains garbled filename
Can you pl let me know how to resolve this?
We should use the file name as attachment name and this will have say special characters. The receiver who gets the mail should get with the correct attachment name
One important point.. the attachments are opened from MS outlook.
Thanks and regards
Ram

Read the FAQ carefully. You don't need to call encodeText unless you're using a really
old version of JavaMail.
And, it depends on whether the mail reader you're using is handling encoded parameters
according to the (new) MIME standard, or according to the (old) non-standard hack.
Sadly, without knowing what mail reader the recipient is using, it's impossible to use
encoded filenames that will work everywhere.

Problems with special characters in InputStream or XPath

Hello everyone,
I am having problems with special characters such as ", ', - and so on, everything becomes ? (questionmark). (Not with special nordic characthers (å,æ,ø) though.)
The encoding of the XML is UTF-8, and the server that holds the webservice is setting encoding to UTF-8 also, so no conflict there.
What I have done is something like this:
{code}
String url = "http://www.formula1.com/rss/news/latest.rss"; // This is not the feed I use, it is a custom XML document
InputSource is = new InputSource(url);
DocumentBuilderFactory fct = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = fct.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(is);
Element rootElement = doc.getDocumentElement();
XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xPath = factory.newXPath();
out.print(xPath.evaluate("/rss/channel/title", rootElement)); // The xml is not a RSS feed, this is just an example.
{code}
Please let me know what I am doing wrong, or give me a hint of how to solve this in another way.
Best regards,
G.Hansen

Hello, thanks for you reply. I had to rewrite your code a little, and I think that your code would not really compile, if you tried yourself :-)
I ended up with something like this:
our environment is running in 1.4 mode, so I could not use the for-each loop :-(
public String printEntities(String s) {
 char[] sArray = s.toCharArray();
 StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
 for (int i = 0; i < sArray.length; i++) {
 if (sArray[i] > 256)
 sb.append("&#x" + Integer.toHexString(sArray) + ";");
 } else
 sb.append(sArray[i]);
 return sb.toString();
