Convertion from UTF-16 to UTF-8 in XI

[Former Member]

Hi,

From Source system (MDM), sometimes data are coming in UTF-16 format in to XI. My target system is R/3 which is UTF-8. Here's the scenario:-

MDM->MQ Queue-> Local JMS Queue-> XI->R/3

Here I am using sender JMS Queue adapter to receive the data from Local JMS Queue and using receiver IDOC adapter to send the IDOC into R/3. I am using ABAP mapping for this scenario.

Since the target system in UTF-8 and the data are coming sometimes in UTF-16, how can I change the format UTF-16 to UTF-8 in sender JMS adapter.

Please advice.

Reply with details would be appreciated.

this suggests you can do at MQ level

Character Set ID (CCSID) of Destination

Specifies the character set for the above-specified name. This entry does not affect the character set of the transferred messages.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. From source data are coming in UTF-16 format in XI, and in target if I want the data to be sent out from XI in UTF-8 format, rather in UTF-16 format, for this, if I put CCSID 1208(that is for UTF-8), does that mean that the the target will receive the data from XI in UTF-8 format. Or it does mean something else. Please let me clear this thing, if in CCSID in sender JMS adapter I put 1208(For UTF-8), what does that mean.

Hi Soumya ,

You can do this in Adapter module in JMS sender adapter .

obj = inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();

msg = (Message) obj;

XMLPayload xmlpayload = msg.getDocument();

xmlpayload.getContent()

convert from UTF 16 to UTF 8 then

xmlpayload.setContent();

Hope this works.

Cheers,

XI works internally always with UTF-8. So you have to put in sender adapter the source encoding, in receiver adapter the target encoding.

So find the CCSID for UTF-16 and put this to the JMS channel.
