Umlaut or special character in LogonName

Hey,
i trying to get a Service Ticket from a Windows Server 2003 Server for a user with a umlaut in the logon name. I getting the service Ticket for users without umlauts in the logon name. Furthermore when i have a TGT in the cache it works fine, but if i disable the ticket cache it doesn't work :(. So i think the first error is within the TGT request when the ticket cache is disabled. Do somebody know, whether the Kerberos Protocol support umlaut characters in the TGT reuqest? I think windows is using some proprietary Kerberos format, when i login into the os and the os is requesting for the TGT.
Heres the output:
Debug is true storeKey false useTicketCache false useKeyTab false doNotPrompt false ticketCache is null isInitiator true KeyTab is null refreshKrb5Config is false principal is null tryFirstPass is false useFirstPass is false storePass is false clearPass is false
[Krb5LoginModule] user entered username: äß
Acquire TGT using AS Exchange
[Krb5LoginModule] authentication failed
Client not found in Kerberos database (6)Thanks for all helpful suggestions!

The kerberos 5 standard has not specified how to deal with non-ASCII principal names, so you'd better avoid them.
BTW, how do you input the umlaut character into the login screen? Are you using a German keyboard? I don't know how to turn the input method there.

German Umlaut and special character

I have a dynamic text field that I need to populate with
German characters like ä, ë, ü, ö . . .I have
done this hundreds of times with MX2004, but after installing Flash

SOAP Adapter - Error because of special character (u00FC - Umlaut) in payload

Hello,
We have a SOAP sync scenario.
SAP -> PI 7.0 -> 3rd Party system
We have a special character (ü - Umlaut) as part of the payload.
When the message enters message pipeline in PI, I can see the payload XML till message branching step.
From Message mapping step, i get the message - "The XML page cannot be displayed. An invalid character was found in text content" in SXMB_MONI.
In communication channel monitoring, I see the following error:
SOAP: error occured: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Parsing Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.NestedSAXParserException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Unsupported character: 72(:main:, row:2, col:2106)(:main:, row=2, col=2106) -> com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Unsupported character: 72(:main:, row:2, col:2106): java.io.IOException: Parsing Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.NestedSAXParserException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Unsupported character: 72(:main:, row:2, col:2106)(:main:, row=2, col=2106) -> com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Unsupported character: 72(:main:, row:2, col:2106)
But, when I pass the same message(with special character) to the 3rd party system using SOAP UI, i get a valid response back.
So, what is going wrong in PI?
Thanks,
Chandra

Hi Gouri,
you are right. My message is successful in SXMB_MONI, and the error is coming from comm channel monitoring with deliverin to target.
My sender is a proxy, and we can not specify any encoding in proxy sender.
I did not specify any encoding in SOAP Receiver aswell.
This is the sequence in comm channel monitoring:

So, what can i do to fix this?

Problem with special character in Unix file

Hi All,
Need a help here. We have unicoded our system recently.
It's regarding a special character (umlaut) that comes through a 3rd party system to an Unix file. This gets displayed in AL11 file as # instead of ö.
As our program picks the file from Unix, it also has the # but we want ö.
We could have done some fixes in our code to fix if AL11 file at least had ö and we got # in our program.
But it's the other way round. So, how can we get rid of this issue? Please suggest.
Regards,
Sanj.

How Al11 is reading file ? Look for
OPEN DATASET "yourfilename" IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT
IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.
If the above code is there .. you might need to play with different 'OPEN DATASET " options .
Also look for Note 1174468 - Non-7bit-ASCII characters used in ABAP Workbench
Note 1227961 - Names of text fields with non-7-bit ASCII characters
Good Luck !

No loading after special character in title

Ah, woe is me! I put in some serious time on a slide show/video DVD for my grandma and when I saved it, the title (in German) included a special character, namely umlauts.
I resaved the document without umlauts however when I attempt to open the project (even within applications itself) it freezes at 'project loading" and will not go further. I am able to see my work when I click on the map button - however once I try to work on my DVD - iDVD closes.
I have tried to save as 'disc image" and received this error:
"There were warnings during the project validation. It is recommended to fix these problems before burning the project."
I clicked 'continue to burn' hoping the errors will become more apparent. The burning continues until 'process slideshows' then it simply closes itself.
Any thoughts?

welcome Meonacake to the  boards...
I'm living in that part of the planet, where those funny ¨ are widely in use...
just made a test, to be a 100% sure:
no, umlauts in titles or project-names have no effect on 'freezing' ...
so, probably other reasons...
* the video comes from iMovie?
* pics for slideshow are what format and what resolution...?
* do you use any music? codec? iTS purchased...?
* .. plus a 'funny' one: add any music to your slideshow...
if you don't want any audio on the pics, use any audio-processor (Garageband, Audacity, Logic...) to create a few secs of 'nil', silence.. drop that .aiff into the corresponding zone in iDVD's slideshow dialog ...

this on a MII 12.0.5 installation without success... Did anybody had this problem one time?
Kind Regards

Pedro,
we are working in an german environment with unicode, although I have set the Message Listener language to EN. I have found some material texts which came down with a MATMAS that contain german umlaute and which are shown correctly inside the database.
I have also used a "normal" JCo block, no session. I guess it would make no difference using an IDoc or RFC.
Have you seen the wrong characters, in the MII workbench or in a database where you store the contents?

Error while releasing transport request - Special character "_" in generic

Hi all,
we're receiving the error Special character "_" in generic key when releasing a best practice transport.
Note 1304725 describes my error, but the solution cannot be implemented. The reason for this is that we do not have an individual entry for eacht yb_PS,..,
but we have only one entry where field BWERT has a wildcard '*' as entry.
Does anyone has some idea how to solve this ?
kind regards !

Hello Bjorn,
How did you get this solved?
I'm having nearly the same issue:
A custom-table with a total key lenght of about 365 characters. As soon as I enter a special character (_) in the key field just before the position 120, the message tk287 rejects the entry. Entering the special character in a key field at about key position
60, there's no message rejecting the entry.
Regards

The key cannot have any special characters before the asterisk, since they are interpreted in different ways by different database systems.
The key contains the special character _.
System Response
The entry is rejected.
Procedure

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!

How can I use Greek symbols in a text in Pages? Greek symbols are not in the special character list.

How can I use Greek symbols in a Pages text? Greek symbols are not included in the special character collection.
I need to import for example a sigma from Word or Adobe illustrator and then Pages can recognise it. I can not find it from within Pages.

Special character palette from the edit menu does have sigmas under European ... > Greek ...
You can do a search at the bottom of the Special Character palette. Double click on the greek capital letter sigma. You will get a lot of sigmas.

Need to prevent special character in generated XML file

Hello,
I am using E-business Suite 12.1.3 and XML version 5.6.3.
My XML file is ending up with a special character (a Latin capital letter U with circumflex) at the end, after the final closing tag.
Due to this the concurrent program that needs to output the XML is ending with warning.
My XML file is produced using a PL/SQL procedure, as follows (I've simplified it):
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<DOCS>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<LETTER>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'<EMP_NAME>Michaela Hart</EMP_NAME>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'</LETTER>');
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT,'</DOCS>');
But when I run the concurrent request that creates the output then try to view the output in Internet Explorer I get the following error:
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://servername.domain...
</DOCS>
If I view the source of the page in Internet Explorer it shows a square after </DOCS> indicating the special character that has been added.
I checked this by looking at the output file in unix (cat -v o7766582.req) and it showed up the Latin U character.
I realise it could be to do with the character set I am using. I checked what we had on the server:
> echo $NLS_LANG
American_America.UTF8
I would have thought that corresponded with the XML declaration character set but I'm not sure.
Does anyone have any other ideas about why I have this special character, and how it could be removed?
Thanks in advance,
Hazel

Hi AlexAnd,
thanks very much for your reply.
I'm now unable to recreate the problem since dbms_xmlgen worked. If I switch back to my previous method it works fine!
I'm not sure your suggestion would help, as there were no special characters in the data, the special character was added after the last tag I output. I hard coded the data (as in my example) for testing purposes so there was no SQL in use and the special character was still added at the end of the XML output. But I will definitely give it a try if I get the problem again.
I had the idea that maybe I should have been using FND_FILE.PUT rather than FND_FILE.PUT_LINE but now the error is gone I can't tell if that would have solved the problem either.
I appreciate your input.
Regards
Hazel

Special character in some of the employee records

Hi,
I have found special character in some of the employee records which is causing some reports to error out. Our instance is configured for English language and these special characters are unrecognized by the application. I have attached some employee names with the special character below.
Request you to please look into this and reply ASAP.
===
Employee Number      Full Name

first you need to create a database function like the one below.
the query to identify those records is then the below:
select full_name from per_people_x
where is_not_valid_text(full_name) = 'N'
you can use the function also to verify other fields like addresses and so on.
the corrective action according to me should be a manual one, meaning open the form and update the names not compliant.
thanks
regards
create or replace
function is_not_valid_text (p_text in varchar2) return varchar2 is
v_is_valid varchar2(100) := 'Y';
v_length number := length(p_text);
begin
for i in 1 .. v_length loop
if not ( -- allowed char
ascii(substr(p_text, i, 1)) between 65 and 90 -- from A to Z
or ascii(substr(p_text, i, 1)) between 97 and 122 -- from a to z
or ascii(substr(p_text, i, 1)) = 32
or ascii(substr(p_text, i, 1)) = 46
) then
v_is_valid := 'N';
exit;
end if;
end loop;
return v_is_valid;
end is_not_valid_text;
