Encoding from UTF-16 to UTF-8

[frank_hinrichsen2]

Hi,

I need to convert from UTF-16 to UTF-8 encoding.

I receive an CSV file in encoding UTF-16 for our backend system. but our external partner needs the encoding to be UTF-8

How can I change the encoding ?

extraxt from SAP was canhged to use NFS instead og FTP... FTp was limited to UTF-8. NFS extraxt could use UTF-16.

What kind of communication(SOAP/JDBC/other) will take place between PI and External System?

If it is SOAP then u can change the encoding in SOAP Receiver Comm. channel using the following SOAP module parameter:

Just need to add followind module in module configuration of SOAP communication channel.

Module Key - SOAP .

Parameter Name - XMBWS.XMLEncoding

Parameter Value - UTF-8 (or any other encoding that you want to be used)

Hello Frank,

We have used TextCodePageConversionBean to meet such a requirement in one of our scenarios using CSV files.

You have to encode message in abap side, or write csv file in UTF-8. Additionally, you can insert encoding function in receiver comunication channel.

Set message type TEXT, e write in the encoding field UTF-8.
