Special character handling in XI

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a scenario wherein edifact files are passed through XI to partners .

The edifact input file contains special characters like ô which gets converted to Ã.This is causing the despatch advice to fail at the receiver end.

Can anyone suggest how such characters should be handled in XI ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response.

The adapter being used is Seeburger AS2 adapter.

Hi,

I m not sure whether AS2 adapter has the encoding settings.

check in the AS2 adapter whether it has encoding std.

With the above encoding std it will solve ur problem.

What all adapter module are u using?

e.g. U have option of adding encoding of the source as well as destination files in BIC mapper module with name "srcEncoding" and "destEncoding".

You can use localejbs/Seeburger/CharsetConversion bean as well. And in the module config table, add teh following parameters

sourceEnc = UTF-8

targetEnc = ISO-8859-1(or what ever target encoding you want).

This is with the assumption that the data is going from SAP to a local(EDI)system via XI.

Use localejbs/CallBicXIRaBean after the character conversion in the Processing sequence.

Hi,

if you are using file adapter in receiver side

use ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2 encoding in file adapter.
