Do not want to replace special characters in SAP

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am having a JMS to IDOC scenario.

There are certain special character in the incoming payload.

Mapping in PI is 1:1 and so the characters are passed to SAP as it is.

There is no special character handling in PI

But if we see the IDOC posted in SAP, special characters are being replaced by #.

These are acceptable special character and we do not want them to be replaced by anything?

How and why is this happening?

Some blogs talks about Unicode/UTF-8 encoding, what is that?

Please suggest.

Regards,

Sachi

Hi Sachi,

I assume your receiving system is SAP ERP 6.0 - is that correct ?

If yes, what is the status of the system - is it a Unicode system (you can e.g. check in SAPGUI via System --> Status --> Unicode).

If this is Non-Unicode, then the characters listed in the example are probably not supported in this system ...

In this case the only way to avoid the conversion to # would be a Unicode conversion of the system.

Best regards,

Hi Nils,

The setting is Unicode system : Yes.

That means it is Unicode system.

Hello Dubey,

What are the special characters in the payload?

[Former Member]

something like Štúrova 42 and Šaľa are being converted to #túrova 42 and #a#a

I guess ur encoding should be changed-ISO-8859-1 as the character seems to be spanish
