Error: Invalid byte 2 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have a synchronous scenario from Websphere to PI, where once Websphere sends the request it is been executed by ABAP proxy and gives response with some special characters. But as the xml coding is in UTF-8 only, this is not throwing error in Response Mapping.

But when it reaches the end system, it is giving this "Invalid byte 2 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence." " error saying that enocoding to UTF-8 is not done correctly. How can I overcome this situtation. please suggest.

Thanks,

Anudeep

It seems to be a program error in your ABAP proxy.

Fix it.

Hi,

Check the encoding to be used for the data..or else check whether the RFC connections used are set to unicode...

if possible execute the request in SAP and check what is the output it is generating...if it is proper over there then you need to identify the encoding to be used when it comes to PI..

Why don't you format the Junk in response mapping itself and send.
