Description

Resolution:
TIBCO Adapter for R/3 (SAP) version 5.2.1 (Unicode version) now supports
repository encoding of ISO8859-1.

When data comes to the adapter from the SAP application it is stored in
UTF-16 format in the memory. When repository encoding is specified as
ISO8859-1, the format in the wire is ISO8859-1. The adapter now
supports the conversion between character set ISO8859-1 on the wire to
UTF-16 in memory and vice versa.

For non-ISO8859-1 character sets, you must set the repository encoding
to UTF-8. TIBCO Adapter for R/3 (SAP) version 5.2.1 (Unicode version)
does not support the conversion between non-ISO8859-1 characters sets
on the wire to UTF-16 in memory or vice versa with the repository
encoding as ISO8859-1. Here, by non-ISO8859-1 character set we mean
all Unicode character sets outside the ISO8859-1 character set.  

For example:
The repository encoding must be set to UTF-8 if exchanging Japanese or
Chinese characters between the Unicode SAP application and the Unicode
version of the adapter.
The repository encoding can be set to ISO8859-1 if exchanging French or
German characters between the Unicode SAP application and the Unicode
version of the adapter.
