importing non-english(double-byte) document into livelink

[sunny1518]

Hi all,

I have a situation where I need to import a document with the non-English(double-byte) name (عامل.txt). the document name is in arabic, so in the xml import file I have placed the file path in <![CDATA[C:\temp\عامل.txt]]> and added the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> in the starting of the xml and saved the xml in UTF-8 format and tried to import.

In the log file generated its giving the error as the file ****.txt does not exit.

My xml import file is working properly the documents with English(ASCII)names.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

Hi Appnair,

I am using livelink 9.7.1.. I have added <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> to my xml file and saved it as unicode and imported a document with the name æøå.txt(Norwegian)succesfully .. But I am unable to import a document with Chinese name as my office system is not supporting east Asian languagese and chinese characters are being displayed as boxes in my office system. I cannot install the east asian languages in my office system as I do not have the previleges. .. I hope my xml will work fine on the systems supporting chinese characters.. please correct me if I am wrong

the livelink server has two versions one is UTF-8. I beleive if your livelink version is UTF-8 this may work.I am not talking about the
OI.Logically if your database system supports UTF-8(which is what livelink server UTF8 will do) then arabic will work.Livelink is heavily used in the
middle east so there are even regional offices down there(Dubai,UEA).I would know only this much because I cannot understand bot the languages o your best bet is a OT support call asking for the exact specifics need gor OI to import arabic and chinese chars.
