UTF-8 file format issue

[Former Member]

Hi,

we have proxy (SRM) to file (MDM) scenario . Issue we are facing is when we have chinese chars in the file its failing in MDM while importing.

MDM is expecting to receive text file in UTF-8 format and in XI receiver file channel i have configured file encoding as UTF-8 but still its failing in MDM side as invalid char's. Please let me know how to ensure XI genarated file is in UTF-8 format and how to fix this in MDM side.

Thanks,

Rajesh

Thanks for your replies. I gone through the below forum thread , doesn't help. My scneario is Proxy to File scenario. I configred rec FIle channel with Text/UTF-8. But when file has chinese char's its coming in the file as '???????' and failing in receiver system MDM while loading. I also tried ISO-8859-1 , but no luck.

Please help me to fix this issue.

Thanks,

Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,

Check these:

1. How proxy is sending to PI. Does it have Chinese character in the payload (before mapping)

2. Try changing the Receiver File channel mode file type form Text to Binary.

3. Open the output file in other editors (like notepad++ ) to see whether Chinese characters are present or not.

Hi,

Did you tried using ISO-8859-1?
