Unable to load German characters in NON Unicode Essbase Cube

Hi Guys,
This is what we want to do:
Build a Cube for Germany on our Essbase server in US. Our users will access cube using Excel Add-In from Germany. But since the Essbase server is in US, system environment variable ESSLANG is set to English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary.
The version of Essbase we are using is 7.1.3.
What we tried & failed:
To load German characters from our dimension build Text file, we added a header: //ESS_LOCALE German_Germany.Latin1@Default
at the beginning of the dim build Text file hoping the rule file will understand that the file contains German characters & load it correctly. Then using EAS I load the dimensions using its corresponding rule file.
Essbase loads the dimensions correctly, with NO Error, but when it encounters German characters it Replaces it with a Question Mark "?"
Some of the German characters are:ß Ü ü Ö ö Ä ä Å Ä Ö
Lastly, the reason we do not want to build Unicode cube is because Excel Add-In will not work with Unicode cubes.
Its urgent. Please help.
Thanks.

The simple and easy way to check
non-unicode character sets are not supported on unicode system any longer. Am I right?

Sending special characters to non-unicode non-sap system: user exit

Hello All,
We are sending data from a SAP unicode system to a non-sap non-unicode system via IDOC. The idoc is standard idoc GLMAST which contains gl account information.
Some text fields contained in this idoc can contain special Polish characters. If they are sent unchanged to the non-unicode system, they give problems in the destination system.
What we would like to do is to build a user exit to convert these special characters, for example : 'é' becomes 'e', ....
We used enhancement object ALE00001, function EXIT_SAPLBD11_001 and implemented it, but it seems this exit is not called. Can this user exit be used for this functionality?
We also tried to change in SM59 the type of system of the destination to non-unicode, so that SAP replaces those special characters by #. But, than the error 02. Codepage not found is given in the idoc. Note: the link to the external system is not set up yet, so no actual connection is possible. Is this why we receive this error, and will this functionality work in the end with a non-sap system?
Thanks for helping.
Kind Regards,
Bart Pelsmaekers

I faced this problem in many project i implement below logic.
DATA: c_splchar(2) VALUE '90',
        c_defaultchar(1) type c VALUE '#'.
You have to move one by one character to this function module
          CALL FUNCTION 'URL_ASCII_CODE_GET'
               EXPORTING
                    trans_char = spl_char
               IMPORTING
                    char_code = spl_code.
All non unicode(Better you check) are always greater than 90.
         if spl_code is gt c_splchar.
            move c_defaultchar to c_splchar.
         endif.

Hi All,
We are facing a problem in retriving the German characters from the Oracle database. We are using a Oracle Thin Client driver and the NLS_LANG for the database is set to UTF-8. Also we are ensuring the the correct NLS is set in the JSP by setting UTF-8 as the character set.
Please give me any tips or tricks to resolve this problem.

Unable to load data from an ODS to a Cube

Hi all,
I am traying to load data from an ODS to a cube, and I'm getting the following msg at the bottom of the screen monitor: <b>"No corresponding requests were found for request REQU_BZUH9ZPYNL5XLQNB7K8IQDKFS in the ODS/Cube" Message no. RSBM043.</b>
I am unable to load the data. The QM status is yellow. When the process starts, on the left hand of the monitor it shows: "0 of 84408 records" which is ok. I load that with this package before and it works well.
Can you help me what I have to do? I tried to wait but it was the same: no progress and no data in the cube.
Thank you very much and kind regards,
MM.
May be this helps...
When I look at the status, it says that I have a short dump at BW. It was CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR and the short text is "The function module "SUBST_TRANSFER_UPGEVAL" cannot be used for 'remote'". This short dump occurs very much before I shoot the upload.
Thanks again.

Hello MM,
Can you do the following..
make the Total status Red Delete the request from cube.
goto ODS -> Remove the Data Mart Status -> Try loading it again.
The error message that you get is common when we are trying to run a infopackage with the source object having no new request, (means all the requests available in the source are already moved to the targets). So please try the steps given above.
Hope it will help!

Scanning files for non-unicode characters.

Question: I have a web application that allows users to take data, enter it into a webapp, and generate an xml file on the servers filesystem containing the entered data. The code to this application cannot be altered (outside vendor). I have a second webapp, written by yours truly, that has to parse through these xml files to build a dataset used elsewhere.
Unfortunately I'm having a serious problem. Many of the web applications users are apparently cutting and pasting their information from other sources (frequently MS Word) and in the process are embedding non-unicode characters in the XML files. When my application attempts to open these files (using DocumentBuilder), I get a SAXParseException "Document root element is missing".
I'm sure others have run into this sort of thing, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to tackle this problem. Obviously I'm going to have to start pre-scanning the files for invalid characters, but finding an efficient method for doing so has proven to be a challenge. I can load the file into a String array and search it character per character, but that is both extremely slow (we're talking thousands of LONG XML files), and would require that I predefine the invalid characters (so anything new would slip through).
I'm hoping there's a faster, easier way to do this that I'm just not familiar with or have found elsewhere.

require that I predefine the invalid charactersThis isn't hard to do and it isn't subject to change. The XML recommendation tells you here exactly what characters are valid in XML documents.
However if your problems extend to the sort of case where users paste code including the "&" character into a text node without escaping it properly, or they drop in MS Word "smart quotes" in the incorrect encoding, then I think you'll just have to face up to the fact that allowing naive users to generate uncontrolled wannabe-XML documents is not really a viable idea.

Unable to Open unix file in UNICODE system which created NON-UNICODE system

Unable to Open unix file in UNICODE system which created in NON-UNICODE system
We have two SAP systems both are ECC6.0 but System 1 is NON-Unicode and System2 is Unicode system.
There is a common unix directory/folder for both system.
Our requirement is to create one file on unix common folder and write the data to file from system1 .
In system2 open the same file for appending mode to write the data .
The file in system 1 created with below sentence.
OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
Now I have to append the data from system 2 to same file.
I have tried to used below statement in system 2 to open the file but sy-subrc value comes as '8'.
1> OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
2>OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR APPENDING IN legacy TEXT MODE CODE PAGE
cdp IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS .
3>OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING Default.
4>OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.
Tried out all the possibilities as per F1 help given for open dataset , but still there is problem with opn file in appending as well output mode.However the file successfully open in Input mode(Read).
Please advice suggestion to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

FOI Servlet non-unicode characters cannot be processed

Hello,
I'm using Oracle MapViewer 10.1.3.1 quickstart kit to test some map features
my database is in CL8MSWIN1251 charset
I made a simple map application to display some data using JavaScript API
when I define a theme based FOI layer in the map and the predefined theme has some non-Unicode characters in the labeling or in hidden info fields I get the folowing error:
Cannot process the following response from FOI server:
{"foiarray":[{"id":"AAARiqAAEAAAzFgAAA","name":"\u422\u414","gtype":"2001","imgurl":"http://localhost:8888/mapviewer/images/foi/p_16_13_MVDEMO_M.IMAGE131_BW.png","x":"50.0","y":"50.0","width":"16","height":"13","attrs":["987654321","100"]}],"attrnames":["BBB","Osn"]}
As you can see "\u422\u414" shoud be "\u0422\u0414" otherwise JavaScript cannot display characters in the right way. I think FOIServlet is the problem here.
Anyone has the same problems or has a solution for this problem pls

is there a function that permit to translate a unicode characters to a non-unicode characters?
For example with this function " à " must become " a ".
thank you for your help

Copy paste the below code and execute. This could also solve your problem.
DATA: BEGIN OF trans OCCURS 0,
auml TYPE x VALUE 'C4', "'Ä'
c_8e TYPE c VALUE 'A',
gra TYPE x VALUE 'E0', "'à'
c_gra TYPE c VALUE 'a',
END OF trans.
DATA : input(40).
DATA : output(40).
input = 'ÄBàp'.
output = input.
TRANSLATE output USING trans.
condense output no-gaps.
write :/ input.
write:/ output.

Flash Content does not load if Non-Unicode language is selected as Korean

Hello,
Users in Korea who are part of Maersk.com are facing problems accessing sub-pages containing flash content. The issue resolves if we change the non-unicode language to any other language other than korean.
Tried using Flash Player with debug and it throws up ActionScript error as follows:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
The error occurs in the following links:
http://www.maersk.com/AboutMaersk/WhoWeAre/Pages/History.aspx
http://www.maersk.com/AboutMaersk/Pages/Management.aspx
OS: Windows XP Pro
IE8
Flash player version 11
What can be done to access these sites without changing the non-unicode language as this is required by other applications?
Thanks,
Satish

I am having the very same problem and have done exactly the same... generated my html through flash professional CS5. It works great in IE8 but is just a blank page in IE7. You did not post the solution, did you find one?
My flash generated code is here http://www.asessippi.com/test/calendar.html will all of the supporting files in the same folder, and nothing else in there.
Any suggestions?

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

Printing of german characters

Hello Friends,
I am new to SDN and would like to know something. I want to print special german characters via SAP like 2 dots on alphabet A and O. How can I get those printed on the document. Currently these special characters are not printed but a blank space is printed instead. Can someone help?
Regards,
Atul Lotlikar.

Hello Friends,
This is about a non-unicode system where I see that the european characters like the german umlauts ( ä, ö, ü ) are not printed. What could be the solution? Implementing a new codepage like ISO 8859-2 or can it be done with the existing codepage 1100? Can someone help me on this?

OCI How getting get back german characters in PM order?

Hello,
we are using external catalogs from PM orders.
It is working fine except for the german characters that are turned into # when users return to the plant maintenance orders coponent tab.
We are using a SAP ECC 5.0, SAP Kernal 640 patch 18 (non unicode).
Do we need to insert a line with a parameter http_content_charset?
How do we exactly insert this line in the catalog call structure? I mean where? does it need to spelt in capitals? etc...
I've made several tries without success.
I would appreciate any idea.
Thank you,

AIR LIQUIDE

Thank you Atul for your answer.
I had read before OSS note 831959 but not yet the other one regarding MDM.
By the way, we are using the same external catalog for both SRM and SAP ECC.
German characters are ok in SRM, and we could face case 3 of OSS note 831959 when catalog was set to iso-8859-1.
Now we set the catalog view only for SAP ECC to iso-8859-1 (customizing done on ctalog side) and I am wondering if I should set a parameter in the catalog call structure on ECC side to make it work....
I've tried a parameter :
Name : http_content_charset
value : iso-8859-1
But it didn't work.
Do you have any example of a call structure with this parameter?
Thank you.

PC Suite Error message - "Unable to load resources...

Hi I have just updated to PC Suite 7.0.9.2 and constantly get the following error message popping up - Unable to load resources - c:/program files\nokia\nokia pc suite\Lang\PcSynch2_eng.nir.
Has this been reported before? Cheers
Details as follows:
PC Connectivity Solution:
Version 8.22.4.0
[Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver:]
Version 7.0.2.1
Operating system:
Microsoft Windows Vista 32-bit Edition, Service Pack 1
Language: English
Language for non-Unicode programs: English
Detected Internet browsers:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0
- Mozilla Firefox
Detected Bluetooth stacks:
- Microsoft (Version: 6.0.6000, Build: 16386)

This has been reported, yes. It would seem a previous the regitry points PCSuite to install the 'lang' files from an old folder, and therefore cannot locate them. Can you make sure that this file 'PcSynch2_eng.nlr' is in the folder nokia\nokia pc suite\Lang and not in 'nokia pc suite 7' which it probably is. If so, create a folder 'nokia pc suite' (without the 7) and copy the contents of 'nokia pc suite 7' to it. It will resolve the issue.
