Outbound XML Translation Encoding Support

For outbound translation, Sterling Gentran:Server® creates XML files with the encoding options listed in this topic.

You configure the encoding in the properties of the root tag of the XML map. See About XML File Objects for more information.

• UTF-8 - Unicode Transformation Format, 8-bit encoding form
• UTF-16 - Unicode Transformation Format, 16-bit encoding form
• Default - If you select this encoding when you define the properties of the XML map, the encoding that is actually written to the output file by the system depends on the code page that is currently installed in the operating system. This table relates the encoded string to its associated Windows code page.

If the operating system has any other code page installed, Sterling Gentran:Server generates the output file using the UTF-8 encoding, which is the default per the XML specification.

For example: <?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”Windows-1257”?>
