special characters problem

[Former Member]

I am having the file-xi-proxy inerface.

In the input file i have one field called "description"(50 in length). The vendor is

giving the input file with special characters in the description field. XI is able to

read the file. BUt during the mapping it is failing ( no transformation I am using.

Just it is a one to one mapping). HOw to pass the message through XI without failing

I am using file type as text and file encoding as UTF-8

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Hi,

why are you using mapping if you don't need any mapping?

Go to your interface determination and delete you mapping there so it will be undefined. This will also solve your problem - no mapping will be done, nothing can fail there..

You can use the following XSLT Mapping to change the codepage of an XML document.

Please use the encoding ISO-8859-1 used instead of UTF-8.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<xsl:copy-of select="*" />

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi Palnati,

You could try to replace this characters with the help of a

user defined function or xslt mapping....

the special characters are '#' and '=' .. If so you can add them in RSKC ..

And then load from the PSA to your data target ..

Have a look at this thread...

Hi,

What are the special characters you are getting in input file..?

There is possibility to handle special characters in Java mapping.

Also you can specify the encoding type in the file adapter.
