Multi-Byte File Parser

  • 1.  Multi-Byte File Parser

    Posted Thu January 22, 2009 05:16 AM

    Hi All,

    I was going through the options available for Multi Byte file parsing in webMethods. I observerd that there is a special package called [FONT=ArialNarrow,Bold][SIZE=6]

    webMethods Multibyte File Parser.

    As per definition,
    [SIZE=2]"[FONT=PalatinoLinotype][SIZE=2]
    it contains a set of services that enables you to translate documents into and from flat files that contain
    fixed-length records with:

    [/size][/font][FONT=Wingdings][SIZE=3][COLOR=#818181]

    �� [/color][/size][/font][SIZE=2]Multibyte data

    [/size][FONT=Wingdings][SIZE=3][COLOR=#818181]

    �� [/color][/size][/font][SIZE=2]Custom character encodings

    [/size][FONT=Wingdings][SIZE=3][COLOR=#818181]

    �� [/color][/size][/font][SIZE=2]User-defined characters, and/or

    [/size][FONT=Wingdings][SIZE=3][COLOR=#818181]

    �� [/color][/size][/font][FONT=PalatinoLinotype][SIZE=2]Mixture of various types of field definitions
    Using the webMethods Multibyte File Parser in conjunction with an appropriately
    prepared template (schema) files that is in XML format, you can parse, generate, and
    transfer this flat file data to Integration Servers and from Integration Servers.
    Because webMethods’ standard built-in WmFlatFile package is text-based, it might not
    meet Japanese (and other multibyte handling) requirements that commonly are used in
    multibyte character environments. The webMethods Multibyte File Parser is designed to
    fill the gap for these types of data sets and flat file handling".

    I have a challenge to handle files with Japanese characters using webMethods Integration Server version 7.1.
    Can someone please guide me if in this version of webMethods, we still have to use webMethods Multibyte File Parser ? Or is the wMFlatFile package now able to handle files with Japanese chars.

    Any pointers are much appreciated.

    Regards

    Did you try these encodings like Shift_JIS/EUC-JP/ISO-8859-10 for Japanese chars?? other wise webMethods defaults to UTF-8

    or the [URL]https://advantage.webmethods.com/bookshelf_multibyte_file_parser[/URL] is the way to go.
