Codepage-Issue using PI-Proxies

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have following scenario: HTTP-Sender (PlainHTTP) --> PI --> ABAB Server Proxy. The sender sends a xml-file into PI with encoding="utf-8". Due to this encoding the message contains some encoded letters like 'ü' for 'ü' for example. So it uses 2Bytes for the character 'ü' in this case.

The PI sends this message further to the Proxy-Receiver which is calling a BAPI (lets say BAPI_PATIENT_CREATE). This BAPI now creates a patient with a patientname like 'Müller' instead of 'Müller'

PI & Receiver-system are both unicode systems.

Can somebody plz tell me how I can solve this issue?

Many thx,

Hi,

I've found out the reason for this problem.

I've used the RWB-Componentmonitorning feature for sending test messages to the IE. So I've copied the message into the field. This was the problem because by copying a UTF-8 encoded character e.g. ü it looks correctly but it isn't correct. This problem can also occur when you save files with a wrong encoding.

Anyway: I've send the message again from the original sender system and my xsl-Transformation works perfect (as it is also described in the link above).

Many thx for all your help.

Best Regards,

Gernot

Hi Gernot,

Could you check, if the name is correct in the XI message?

Could you check also, if the value in the data base is wrong? It could be an issue with displaying the name, for example with an HTML page.

The error cannot happen in the connection PI -> IS-H as the ü would be displayed different. It could happen only in the connection sender -> PI or it is a display issue.

Hi,

thx for all your input. I guess that we didn't hit this issue so far.

I don't want to do any unicode-conversion in xi because this shouldn't be nessecary in my scenario. I just want to pass the xml data (UTF-8) further to the SAP-Receiver (IS-H; UTF-8). My opinion is that the receiver has to display the data correctly with codepage 4102, right? Do I have any mistakes in my line of thought?

Many thx,

I have a similar problem since using PI 7.0. How can I check which codepage is set in the XI system?

Thanks

try this FM SWA_CHECK_SERVER_CODEPAGE

Hi,

thx for your info. We have now codepage 4200 (SAP Unicode) for XI and the receiver system. It's not recommended to change this.

Primarily I thought that when the 2Byte character comes from the sender and goes to the receiver (as a 2Byte character) via PI the Receiver System should display this information correctly. Maybe it's a display issue?

Who can help here?

Thx,

We had similar issues with the Greek Character set and we set the codepage to 1100.
