Symptoms
NOTE: In the examples below, the names represent a fictitious sample for clarity. Any similarity to actual environments, past or present, is purely coincidental and not intended in any manner.
An Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) Mapping / Interface that loads a mix of European and Arabic data into an UTF-8 comma delimited text file seems to generate incorrect records:
- The columns appear in an unexpected order...
- Extra columns appear for some range of rows...
- Incorrect data is contained in some of the columns...
Note that, when English characters only are used, there are 14 columns generated, and the columns get created in the expected order.
For example, when both English and Arabic data must be generated, the expected results are as follows:
... however, instead it is generated as:
Observe above that:
- The first line has 15 columns... and incorrect data (the second column holding an "1"... and the fifth one holding "JEDH 24", not being expected... "1 JEDH 24" should have been generated instead)...
- Both the lines show the Arabic data in other positions then the expected 2 and 6...
