Script

[Former Member]

Guys,

Can somebody provide a pre-processor script which will remove the machine symbols from text files.

We were not sure of the character encoding used at the source and XI is rejecting the file due to some unwanted symbols.

We do use UTF-8 as of now.

Thought it would be better to develop a pre-processor unix script which will remove those symbols before sending it to XI.

Please share some light on this or any other alternatives.

Regards

Krish

Hi,

If you use a script, you can't monitorize correct execution and you will not control it.

I think you musn't use content conversion... use an file sender, and control special characters in an ABAP or Java mapping.

You can find some blogs in SDN with good samples that change this characters...

Hi,

We've had the same problem. Solved by using the field 'File encoding' on the processing tab of the adapter. In our case we had to enter: ISO-8859-1. 'File type' has to be 'text' for this to work.

So i would try to find out which char.set is used & try the 'file encoding' feature.
