special characters in PI

[Former Member]

Hi,

How does PI handle special characters ? There is a potential that we will have characters like # , "" in the sender payload for the Inbound scenarios. Is there any node function that we can use ? Else do we have to write a UDF for that ?

Any useful links that might point to that UDF will be great. I appreciate that.

Thanks,

Venkat.

Besides & and < all visible characters are allowed in XML.

So you need not do anything special.

You need to use file encoding as ISO-8859-1 in your comms channel and your mapping sould be ok to handle special character.
