Special German characters not printing correctly on BI pub report

Hi
We have a BI PU Report which gets the XML from the 6i reprot, the titles on the report are dervied from a custom table where we store the label value for each language. THis is worked so for okay on NA, now we migrated this to Europe and having issues with the label value. when the XML is viewed from the unix server the value appears oaky (the value is : Abnahmeprüfzeugnis),
but when I copy the XML output and view it from the desktop, it appears as AbnahmeprÃ¼fzeugnis , bsically it replaces ü with Ã¼.
The pdf output also prints this wrong value (as AbnahmeprÃ¼fzeugnis). Not sure what's wrong with this. Please let me know if you have any ideas?
Thanks,
Ravi

Steve- I understand what you are mentioning about the ftp, the XML file looks okay on both server and the client except for the letter 'ü ' and the rest of the German characters prints okay. THe problem is that the BI reprot is printing the same wrong characters.

German characters not displaying correctly when redaing from URLConnection

I have a java file reading the contents of a generated jsp page and writing to an html file and I have the code below doing that. However a couple of German characters like �, � and � are being changed to � in the html file. I tried to set the encoding for the reader, the OutputStreamWriter and also for the URLConnection, but it does not seem to help.
The data is fine in the database.
Any inputs on resolving this will be greatly appreciated.
public void makeLiveHTMLfile(String uri, String HTMLFileName, String siteUrl, String siteDir) throws
Exception {
//Local vars
int i = 0;
try {
getConnection(uri);
Reader rd = getReader(uri);
FileOutputStream output_file = new FileOutputStream(
SystemProps.getInstance().getProperty( WEBTOOL_HOME_DIR )+"/html/" + HTMLFileName);
OutputStreamWriter output = new OutputStreamWriter(output_file, "UTF8");
while (i != -1) {
i = rd.read();
if (i != -1) {
output.write(i);
rd.close();
output.close();
this.sendFile(HTMLFileName, siteDir, "html", siteUrl);

conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "utf-8");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", "utf-8");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setDoInput(true);

This web page says that the correct encoding code is "UTF-8", not "UTF8".
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html#charenc
Maybe there are aliases, and it recognises both.... but worth a try.
Also, when you open the web page with a browser and view the source, do you see Utf8 mentioned in the webpage ? Maybe it's not in utf8, and you're trying to force your app to read it as such.
Ps. we won the war... tell them to start speaking English !

Output not printing correctly for BI Publisher report.

Hi All,
We have a BI Publisher report which is printing correctly on one printer but not on another printer. The top and right side of the output are getting truncated. Printer type for both the printer is same that is "--PASTA Universal Printer Type" and both are using the same printer driver 'PASTA_PDF' and same style 'PDF Publisher'.
Please let me know how can I debug the issue.
Thanks

Hungarian characters not printing correctly

Hi All,
I am working with scripts and trying to print the value of a variable through a variable which is coming from print program.
For example : &gs_text001&
variable &gs_text001& has value Kezdési időpont
Kezdési is coming as it is
but időpont is coming id#pont
Could any of you have any idea about this problem.
Thanks,
Mark

BASIS need to set up printers for printing in Hungarian. It is inline with the character sets that a printer can support with particular fonts. Better search for OSS notes for more details

German Special Characters not displayed correctly in RTF using code

Hi ,
In my code we are using webdynpro method
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
byte[] data, String resourceName,WDWebResourceType
Type)
Here in our code we are implementing this as
ITemplateElement templateEl = wdContext.currentTemplateElement();
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
templateEl.getReportData(),
reportName.substring(0, reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
WDWebResourceType.RTF); reportName.lastIndexOf('.')),
Here templateEl.getReportData() returns a set of bytes which has some
german special characters.
We are generating the Bytes using String.getByes(),Just before
String text = new String(in);
collector.putBusinessObject(boName, bo);
reportDocTemplateParser(collector, text);
collector.removeBusinessObject(boName);
String generatedText = collector.generateRTF();
out = (null != generatedText) ? generatedText.getBytes() : null;
The out put is the if i am giving a word with german special characters for eg:
Betriebsübersichten it first gets converted to bytes and then passes through method WDResouseFactory.createResourse(.....) which creates an RTF file and finally in the RTF file it appears as Betriebsbbersichten the special character is not displayed correctly.
i came to knw that while converting into bytes we have to make it RTF supported encoding.ie for eg generatedText.getBytes('cp1252').i even tried with other charactersets like ISO-8859,cp1253 and so on but none of them worked.
It would be really great if you could suggest the needful.
Thanks and Regards

I soved this by using get_data function of response object. Then converting this into ISO-8859-1 charset.
See code below.
DATA : lv_encoding   TYPE abap_encoding,
          lv_conv       TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_in_ce,
          lv_x_string   type xstring.
lv_x_string = pv_http_client->response->get_data( ).
    lv_encoding = '1100'.
    lv_conv = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create(
                          encoding = lv_encoding
                             input = lv_x_string ).
    lv_conv->read( IMPORTING data = pv_result ).

SAP special german characters(umlaut) like ü, ö, ä not displayed properly in XML output

Hello Team,
Here we are facing issues while converting SAP tables data to XML file.
the description is not converting properly for the special German characters like ü, ö, ä.
Actual output should be :Überprüfung nach § 29 STVZO
Output Displayed :Ã#berprÃ¼fung nach Â§ 29 STVZO
Can you please look into and help me in this to get correct output .
Thank you.

Hi,
Unicode or Non-Unincode System ?
Displayed where ? SAPGUI ? Print Preview ? Spool-Display ?
And how is the XML file written ? OPEN DATASET ? BAPI ?
At all of these stages it might be either that it is only a display system, like the selected display CHARSET in SAPGUI, when it is a non-unicode system, or simply not coded correctly like OPEN DATASET without specifying the cdepage when necessary.
And it might even be, that even "displaying" the XML File is simply done with the incorrect codepage while the data inside the file is correct.
If you are on Windows, you might even face funny results when saving a simple textfile from notepad with ANSI/DOS and both Unicode variants and then go to CMD.EXE ans simply "type" the content.
All 4 results will be different, allthough notepad will display the same stuff.
So first of all, makes sure which codepage is relevant at all stages from DB-table to "display"
- DB-Charset
- SAP system type (unicode/non-unicode)
- SAP codepage (1100 / 410x )
- crosscheck the test from report RSCPINST
- Codepage on Windows running SAPGUI
- Selected codpage for Sapgui
Good hunting

LOGO is not printing correctly in Production but printing correctly in Qual

Hi Friends,
I am an ABAPER.
In Scripts I had a logo. Problem is in development and quality systems it is printing correctly but it is not printing correctly in Production system. I have tested all the development, quality & Production systems with the same printer. Experts please guide me where exactly the problem is how to solve it. Good points will be rewarded for related solutions.
Hi Nageswar,
The exact problem is the logo is alphabetical characters only, but for example APPLE is the logo. The word Heading 1: APPLE. is in Coloured BOLD letters. In development and quality it is printing as it was original logo. But in Production the letters for APPLE is printing in such a way that A is printing as dotted letter A and so on for PPLE. But in quality and development is working fine Printing as BOLD letters.
Finally want to mention that APPLE is a scanned logo. Its properties were same in three systems i.e, development, quality and production.
Experts please help me.

Kazakh characters not shown correctly in BO reports

Context :
While doing a project in KZ we make use of Business objects (BO XI R3 SP1) to generate reporting.
The language used for the reporting is Russian, but some client identification data of the company, which contains Kazakh characters, should be shown in the reports.
Problem :
KZ characters are not shown correctly in the BO reports (majority of time '?' is shown)
Details :
As I understand BO doesn't support the KZ language. We get the following message (CS : invalid native charset).
NLS_LANG : Russian : .CL8MSWIN1251 --> works
NLS_LANG : Kazakh : .CL8RK1048 --> not supported by BO. (This is though supported by the Oracle client and functions when we use SQL Plus)
Is there a workaround available to show KZ characters correctly in BO ?
Thanks

Upgraded to CS5 Illustrator form CS3 Illustrator. Colors are not printing correctly in CS5

I have just recently purchased CS5 Premium Suite. I am working with Illustrator. When I print my CS3 Illustrator files in CS5 the colors are not printing correctly. Is there a way to fix this problem

I've been doing more troubleshooting since I wrote this post. I've now tried printing from a non-Adobe app and I'm getting the same margin error. So it is definitely a Xerox issue and I have a tech coming out on Monday.
The reason I originally figured it must be an CS5 issue is because just two weeks ago when I was using CS2, our landscape-oriented programs were printing with .25" margins as they should. Then last week after upgrading to CS5, the inside page (2nd page) was noticeably out of whack and shifted to the right (not left). But when I started trying to troubleshoot this week, everything started shifting to the left.
The only thing different between those two weeks was the fact I updated to CS5.
But obviously, my printer as decided to go to crap in more ways than one all in a two week period. Hopefully the tech can sort it out next Monday.
Thanks!

PDF will not print correctly from any app

I seem to keep on getting the same error everywhere I print on SL (from safari/firefox/preview etc etc)
It will usually print any lines or logos but miss all text?? I did have the dreaded adobe reader installed but have since removed it?
I am in urgent need of printing out some manuals for a class so in real trouble, help!

Where do these PDFs that do not print correctly come from? Are they downloaded from the internet or from email? Or do you create them yourself on your computer? If so, in which program?
Do some PDF files print correctly, but not others? Did you remove the dreaded Acrobat Reader before this problem developed or after? Did this problem develop only after you ungraded to a certain release of Snow Leopard or has it never worked in SL?
PDF is wonderful technology, but every so often there can be issues.

Printing on HP P1505 not printing correctly yet Explorer 9 works on same web site with same printer.

I have download the latest software for Firefox and the HP P1505 printer, but the pictures within the web site print correctly. The text information is not printing correctly. Lots of spaces and the font is a mess. You can read the text information, but it is all over the page. Firefox did print with no issues before 4.0b12. It always worked with the version 3 of course. I really do not want to go back to 3 as 4 is better except for this issue.

This is a known issue in Firefox 4 beta 12. You could wait til' the RC comes out, or you could grab one of the latest nightly builds availible here that fix this problem: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
Just a note though, nightly versions of firefox are generally less stable than betas or releases. I am waiting for the Release Candidate to come out myself. (Should be early next week)

HP Photosmart premium not printing correct colors or contrast on photo paper.

My HP Photosmart Premium does not print correct colors or contrast level on photographs using photo paper. This happens with using most any application and setting the paper type to one of the photo papers... By using MS PhotoAlbum and selecting the photo tray then forcing "regular paper", I can get a somewhat decent print (this trick only works with MS PhotoAlbum). When I setup to any of the "photo paper" types, I do not get correct colors or contrast levels (even if the print preview looks good).
I have the same issue with 8.5 x 11 inch photopaper. Unless I select "regular paper" as the paper type, I get incorrect color and contrast (even if the preview looks good). The ICC "Color Profiles" look to be OK (at least the titles are correct).
Anyone have any ideas?

Try the troubleshooting steps in this page. My bet would be the Photo cartridge (the black with the bow tie symbol) is out of ink. This is only used when photo paper is selected, for plain paper printing the regular black cartridge is used.

Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.7 (Mac) does not print correctly.

I have a Mac Pro (Model 1.1) with Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.7. When an item is scanned, it appears correctly on the screen, but it does not print correctly. I am sending along screenshots of what a scanned item looks like on the screen and then what prints.
Message was edited by: DFSons Added photos

Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
[OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?
