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.
