Transcode Business Service Usage with Inbound Communication

Consider an inbound communication between a non Unicode Siebel Database and a Unicode external system that uses a Unicode communication channel such as XML. In this situation, ways in which you can use methods on the Transcode business service include:

• Use the Validate method to check that the data sent to the Siebel Database is stored without a character conversion error

• If there is a character conversion error, then use the Convert method to use substitute characters, when appropriate
