Getting rid of Unicode

1

Hi,

I am working on an Enterprise Server (5.0) based Integration that interfaces with an Oracle 9i database using a JDBC Adapter (4.6)

I want to retrieve information made of NUMBER and VARCHAR2 fields and map it into a webMethods document. For performance reasons ( my documents can reach 10 Mbytes), I do not want to map them into Unicode String fields that cost 16 bits per digit.

However, it seems that using the SELECT Configured Operation, it is not possible to map a NUMBER or VARCHAR2 field into an simple String format, and that I have to map it into an Unicode String format.

Any idea someone of a way to get rid of that Unicode ??

Thanks in advance…

The data are stored in Java strings in both the configured operation and the Integration Component. Java strings are always Unicode. Using a unicode_string field to pass the data means they can be passed straight through, without conversion. Using a string field actually makes things more difficult, because it adds two data conversion steps.

Make sure to use string fields in the output document of the Integration Component.
