Character encodings for Jitterbit agents

Introduction

Cloud and private agents use ICU Unicode and globalization code page table libraries. Supported character encodings and aliases for cloud and private agents are cataloged on the ICU converter website.

Configure character encoding

Some connectors (for example, file share, FTP, local storage, and temporary storage) include a configuration option for setting the character encoding.

Alternatively, you can use any of the following Jitterbit variables in a script to set the character encoding:

• jitterbit.source.db.character_encoding

• jitterbit.target.db.character_encoding

• jitterbit.source.text.character_encoding

• jitterbit.target.text.character_encoding

• jitterbit.scripting.db.character_encoding

The value should be the code page converter name or alias, as shown in the following example:

$jitterbit.scripting.db.character_encoding="ebcdic-xml-us"
