Integration with mainframe

former_member216164 — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 09:49:49 GMT

Hi Experts,

I have a scenario where we need to integrate PI with Mainframe and we are using MQ in between. Data flow will be like following

Mainframe-->MQ-->PI-->ECC

Issue:

Mainframe will be sending a flat file to PI. In PI I have used JMS content conversion to parse it. When Mainframe is sending any data to PI, PI is receiving special characters. In JMS module configuration, I have configured Transform.ContentType as "text/xml;charset=utf-8". Can anyone let me know if any configuration change can fix the issue.

Thanks.

Hi Naga,

I just got to know that they are sending the data in EBCDIC encoding format. Could you please let me know how can I handle this in JMS adapter. There is content conversion as well. Data will be coming as PIPE delimited format.

Above is the screenshot for special characters

Thanks.

Hi Avinash,

You can try with the module TextCodepageConversionBean. Check this document: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79fb42?overridelayout=t…
