Configuring the flat file byte count parser

Software AG Products 10.7 | Integrating On-Premises and Cloud Applications | Processing Flat Files | Sending and Receiving Flat Files | Configuring the flat file byte count parser

To process multi-byte encoded files, you must configure the flat file byte count parser to read the webMethods character set. The webMethods character set is included in the Extended Character Set file which can be installed using the Software AG Installer.

For more information about Extended Character Set, see the Installing Software AG Products document.

To install the Extended Character Set

1. Download Installer from the Empower Product Support website.

2. If you are installing the Extended Character Set on an existing Integration Server, shut down the Integration Server.

3. Start the Installer.

4. Choose the webMethods release that includes the Integration Server on which you want to install the Extended Character Set.

5. Specify the webMethods installation directory that contains the host Integration Server.

6. In the product selection list, select Infrastructure > Extended Character Set.

7. After the installation completes, close the Installer and start the host Integration Server.

To verify that the host Integration Server contains the Extended Character Set, run the built-in service, pub.flatFile:getSupportedEncodings. If the encoding output variable contains an encoding with the prefix, "WM_" it indicates that the Extended Character Set is installed.

For example, WM_UTF8 is the webMethods encoding for the Java default UTF-8.
