Character Set Encoding

Siebel EAI components and adapters support code page conversion and allow you to specify how to handle a conversion error. The business services in which the Character Set Conversion for the Text Data argument is available include:

• EAI MQSeries Server Transport

• EAI DLL Transport

• EAI File Transport

• EAI HTTP Transport

• EAI MSMQ Transport

• EAI XML Converter

• EAI JMS Business Service

• Transcode

If one of these business services is called from a workflow process, then the valid set of encodings is controlled by a picklist. However, if the business service is called through a script or other similar mechanism, then the character set name is supplied textually. For example, if the Siebel application communicates with an external system through the EAI MQSeries Server Transport business service, then the called of EAI MQSeries Server Transport to send or receive a message also specifies the character set that the external system sends or expects to receive.

Target character encoding choices include:

• None

• UTF-8 Unicode

• UTF-16 Unicode

• Traditional Code page
