Description:
============
You need to fetch the BAPI schema for creating Request-Response / Request-Response Invocation services for TIBCO Adapter for SAP (R/3) in design time. Sometimes, you would receive following error message in Designer and the schema cannot be fetched successfully.
“ADADR3 - 600034 - BAPI list cannot be retrieved. Conversion error between two character sets.”

This error only happens for SAP Unicode systems.

Environment:
===========
TIBCO Adapter for SAP (R/3)
SAP Unicode Systems

Symptoms:
========
After click the “Fetch RFC/BAPIs” button on the “Adapter Services” Configuration tab, there would be an error message dialog titled with “No List” and showing:

“ADADR3 - 600034 - BAPI list cannot be retrieved. Conversion error between two character sets.”

The RFC/BAPIs’ schema cannot be fetched and you cannot create the Adapter services.

Resolution:
==========
1. Close the project and designer.
2. Open the “designer.tra” under &ltTIBCO>/designer/&ltVERSION>/bin folder.
3. Edit the file and replace all “palettes” path related to adr3 to “palettesu”.
  For example:
  tibco.env.CUSTOM_CP_EXT C:/tibco/adapter/adr3/6.0/hotfix/lib/palettesu; C:/tibco/adapter/adr3/6.0/ lib/palettesu;…
  tibco.env.CUSTOM_PALETTE_PATH C:/tibco/adapter/adr3/6.0/hotfix/lib/palettesu; C:/tibco/adapter/adr3/6.0/ lib/palettesu;…
4. Save the “designer.tra” file.
5. Launch the designer and open the project.
6. Fetch the schema again.
