Invalid Characters - Control Characters

[neilpadilla]

Hi Guys,

I have encountered a mapping error in PI.

As per checking using Notepad++, there are invisible characters in the content.

    

Scenario:

ECC -> PI Integration Engine

From ECC, the IDoc field contains number signs '#'.

    

However upon receiving in PI, the other number signs are no longer visible. And the mapping error is encountered. When the payload is viewed with a Notepad++, the number signs are now replaced into control characters.

    

How could this be possible that the values (number signs) were replaced when received in PI?

Regards,

Neil

Hi Neil,

The special character is not visible in PI monitoring because of encoding issue. You need to use right encoding conversion in sending adapter to read those character.

you can refer the below blogs to handle the encoding
