Unconvertible UTF-8 Character error

Hi All ,
I have a problem while parsing a XML which has some Special characters
like, '�', '�', '�' etc.
The error is as follows :
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException : Character conversion error : "Unconvertible
UTF-* character begining with 0x96" (line number may be too low)
Could you please help me out here ....
thanx
Bibhu

This problem is related to the xml encoding. When using non-ascii characters you should specify which encoding is used in the document.
For instance,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-9"?>
The encoding code depends on the locale of your text editor or operating system. You can check it by the system property file.encoding.
From the following page you can obtain more information about xml encoding: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_encoding.asp
Best regards...

Hi,
Are the files from the Java-CD fully readable and fully copied, for instance the java-dumpfile ?
Ensure JVM settings of note # 716604 area applied. Also, is connect possible to database by 'configtool' or does it throw an error ?

SQL Loader Multibyte character error

Hello,
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
Database Characterset: WE8MSWIN1252
To load an utf8 File (UTF-8 Unicode text) i use option characterset UTF8 in controlfile.
All went fine until in textfile the column is filled up with 40 chars and
german umlaute included (ÜÖÄüöä...)
Loader stops (errors=0) and gives:
Record 146466: Rejected - Error on table 'TableName', column 'ColumnName'.
Multibyte character error
* use CHAR(40) and POSITION(start-end) for field description - no help
* modify column, from VC2(40 char) to VC2(50 char) - no help
* without characterset UTF8 option i got wrong characters for german umlaute - no help
* manual insert the data from this row with NO problems !
any hint or workaround?
Regards
Michael

Hi Werner,
on my linux desktop:
$ file test.dat
test.dat: UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines
my colleague is working on a windows system.
On both systems exact the same error from SQL Loader.
Btw, try with different number of special characters (german umlaute and euro) and there is no chance to load without the error
when to many (?) special characters or data is long as column length and special characters included.
Regards
Michael

SQL Loader Multibyte character error, LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER

Hi,
startet SQL Loader Multibyte character error
{thread:id=2340726}
some mod locked the thread, why?
the solution for others:
add LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER to the controlfile
LOAD DATA characterset UTF8 LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252
ID CHAR(1)
, TEXT CHAR(40)
)Regards
Michael

Hi Werner,
on my linux desktop:
$ file test.dat
test.dat: UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines
my colleague is working on a windows system.
On both systems exact the same error from SQL Loader.
Btw, try with different number of special characters (german umlaute and euro) and there is no chance to load without the error
when to many (?) special characters or data is long as column length and special characters included.
Regards

UTF-8 Encoding errors during nightly batch runs

My boss recently tasked me with researching (and hopefully resolving) why our XML frequently has UTF-8 encoding errors.
I've been in the IS world for less than a year now so please bear with me when it comes to terms, data flow, etc.
Overview:
Our Oracle DB spits out XML for the nightly batch runs into a file location, lets say C:\xPression\CustomerData\Certificate.xml. The XML is in Courier New font but some characters make their way into the XML but arent supported. The big one is the elongated ' - ' character. Just one instance of this and the entire XML fails.
When the batch job is run sometimes there are encoding errors (¿, ¡, -, etc) and every morning I have to come in, finding the invalid character, fix it and have the job re-run.
I want to know if there's a way so that the XML that comes out is always in the Courier New font, or is there a way to convert it.

I want to know if there's a way so that the XML that comes out is always in the Courier New font, or is there a way to convert it.
First thing first, an XML file is a text file, it doesn't have a "font" but an encoding.
The font is the graphical representation of characters and it is related to whatever client tool you're using to view the content, not to the content itself.
That being said, a lot of fonts do not support the full range of unicode characters so you may get replacement characters in some case.
We're missing some information to provide an answer :
- what's the database version?
- what's the character set of the database?
- how are you generating and writing the XML to the file ? UTL_FILE, dbms_xslprocessor, dbms_xmldom?
If the file is generated using UTF-8 encoding then the issue might just be that you're not using an UTF-8-enable editor.

Unsported character error in message mapping

I use a sender mail adapter to read an xml and then map it to another message type. Most of the time, it's ok. But when there are some special German character such as ö ä ß, then I get the "unsuported character" error.
Anyone could help?
thanks!

As the mail server provides the correct encoding, the MessageTransformBean does the conversion to UTF-8.
If the encoding was not set by the mail server, then the MessageTransformBean would only set the content type, but not do any conversion.
When you are not sure, if the content type is by the mail server, you can apply the MessageTransformBean twice: First with iso-8859-1, second with UTF-8
I am not sure, why the mapping tool cannot do the conversion, but I think this is because the content type is not application/xml. But this is only a guess.
What happens, when you only apply the MessageTransformBean, but do not change the XML encoding?

XML Publisher Report ends with Warning -- Invalid Character Error in XML

Hi,
I have migrated the standard report 'Invoice Print Selected Invoices' from Reports 6i to XML Publisher. It has to print a Euro(€) in the report. It does not even generate the XML File fully. It gives the below error in the XML File. When i remove the special character, it works fine.
Please let me know the settings to ensure that XML file also accepts the special characters. How do i get the Euro symbol printed in XML File with out giving Invalid Character Error?

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your adhoc response.
I have gone thru the Document 222663.1 and it says that the Developer 6.0.8.23 is required to handle this problem. We are using almost the updated Developer version i.e., Developer 6.0.8.25. So, this should be handled automatically, but it still errors out. Please suggest.
Thanks,

Invalid character error while activating DSO - Please help

Hi experts,
I'm getting invalid hex character error when loading a text infoobject in my DSO. Repairing data records in the PSA is not an option. Changing the data in the source system is also not an option. I've tried many of the methods suggested in other threads, but am unable to get it working (ABAP code, "ALL_CAPITAL" etc). We are on an unicode system.
Can someone provide some clean code to eliminate the illegal hex characters (00-1f) in my transfer rule routine. Basically, replace the illegal hex characters with space or an acceptable character.
Many thanks,
Anita S.

Hi,
I have used the below code for removing all unwanted chars from 0MATERIAL, that worked fine. You can modify it for ur need.
CONSTANTS:
       G_ALLOWED_CHAR(58) TYPE C VALUE
         ' !"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.
    data : E_ALLOWED_CHAR(58).
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-MATNR.
    SHIFT RESULT RIGHT DELETING TRAILING SPACE.
    SHIFT RESULT LEFT DELETING LEADING SPACE.
    TRANSLATE RESULT TO upper case.
*RESULT = comm_structure-/BIC/ZCONTRTD.
    while RESULT ca '#'.
      RESULT+sy-fdpos(1) = ' '.
    endwhile.
    if RESULT(1) = '!'.
      RESULT(1) = ' '.
    endif.
    do.
      if not RESULT co g_allowed_char.
        shift RESULT+sy-fdpos left.

First, technical questions need to be addressed to an appropriate technical forum. The Products | Database | Globalization and NLS forum would probably be appropriate for this sort of question.
Second, are you seeing a particular Oracle error (ORA-xxxxx)? Are you using a front end? If so, which front end?

Any hint or help would be appreciated

## put this in a UTF8 file without delimiter and enclosure like
The basic question is how you put the characters into the file. Most probably, you produced a WE8MSWIN1252 file and not an UTF8 file. To confirm, a look at the binary codes in the file would be necessary. Use a hex-mode-capable editor. If the file is WE8MSWIN1252, and not UTF8, then the SQL*Loader control file should be:
LOAD DATA characterset WE8MSWIN1252
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252
ID CHAR(1)
, TEXT CHAR(40)
