Files placed were not in UTF-8 format

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In our project we have a pass through(no IR part) Interface from Source -

---

>>PI -

---

>>Target(where both Source and Target are File servers).PI should pick the file and place it in Target Directory by converting into UTF-8 format.For this we used File Type as Text and File Encoding as UTF-8 in the Receiver File channel.

Recently the Target file server migrated to UNIX OS from WINDOWS OS and nothing was changed in PI but after the migration the Target system is facing an error saying "File is not in UTF-8 format"

Previous when the OS is windows PI placed the files in UTF-8 format only but now after the OS migration to UNIX PI is placing ANSI files eventhough we are maintaining File Type as Text and File Encoding as UTF-8 in the Receiver File channel.

Can anyone say how to overcome this problem and convert the files into UTF-8 and place in the Target Directory.

Thanks and Regards,

it could be an issue with the line feeds. can you check with the end system?

If it is (movement from Unix to Windows and vice versa), you will need to use a module to convert the line feeds accordingly.

check ConvertCRLFfromToLF example in this link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/32/43d84072378031e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
