How to pass special characters/language characters

[Former Member]

HI,

How to pass exact characters what I receive from source to target.. There are some special characters which are passing from source but they are converted in to some wired characters when reached to target system..

Scenario is XML-XML .... Is there any settings I am missing in sap pi ? passing Greeck/spanish/french characters.

Regards,

Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,

if the scenarion is XML file to XML file then it is recommended to set the File Type parameter of sender or receiver channels as

"Binary",

i.e.,

see 'Q16. File Encoding'

of the note -

HI,

Yes I set file content type as Binary but still I see european characters are not passing as required.

So I have to set the coding in Message mapping only?

How If I have multiple code pages (Greek, spanish, urdu and so on)? I have to write multiple Java mapping?

For flat files we have the option in File receiver CC to set the code page but for XML we dont have right?

Any any one came accross this situation? Please share.

Thanks

Rajeev

The codepage is part of the XML header. If the XML header is missing, then the codepage is UTF-8 (default)

Check, if your incoming XML is correct. You can see this easily by open it with a web browser.

UTF-8 includes all possible characters in the world.

Hi Rajeev,

is the encoding of the source XML files correct?

It's possible to use the XMLAnonymizerBean to change encoding for XML fiiles (e.g. to UTF-16)

but I think the source file encoding may be incorrect.
