Change CHARSET for report properties

Hi all !

I’m facing some trouble there and would like your expert advice… I’m (well not me personnaly) using a web application to enter data in an Oracle database, which I cannot tune, using CHARSET windows-1252. This is not a problem as to enter the data or display it, only modifying charset spec in the html pages. The problem comes when I try to display that data in WebI 2.7.4 reports. I just cannot make it to the parameter which would allow me to change the CHARSET to windows-1252…:cry:

Anybody got a clue ? :crazy_face:

Hi there,
Did u get nay solution to this. I’m facing a similar problem.
When i get the report from BO Server, in the view source i see the following header:

Report1

My requirement is to have the value of charset = windows-1250.

Where all should i make changes so that the server returns my required value.

TIA,
-Anand

No sorry, didn’t get any solution for this issue… An expert here suggested that WebI uses the platform locale settings, but didn’t get a chance to try it… Maybe that would help. Let me know so that it spares me the time to test.

Hi,
Finally with Locale set to Polish and Central European as default, having the system with appro. language Pack, the tags in HTML now do contain charset = windows-1250 and we r able to see all polish charactes.
Also, for these reports called as HTML from JSP, we make sure that each file(application page) carries encoding to UTF-8.

These all settings have finally gone all well with BO61b. :smiley:

Another part of the story…with the same settings across, BO651 still does not come with required charset of windows-1250 :frowning: but is still carries charset = ISO-8859-1 :cuss:

regards,

Hi,

You must use the same charset for ORA client as your database does.
You can set the NLS_LANG like a environment variable on your Webi server.

Otherwhise, go check in the registry that Business Objects is using the same language that Webi server does !

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
BUSINESS OBJECTS etc…

Cheers,
:idea:
