If your remote database is unicode, add this to your mapping.
SourceCharset => 'utf-8',
DestCharset => 'utf-8',
Actually, I'm not quite sure if DBD::Sybase would also return Unicode,
you might want to experiment with trying either 'utf-8' and
'iso-8859-1' as values for SourceCharset.

Hello everybody.
I'll be starting from the latest problem I'm encountering, which is as follows: when I do a search in my Customer Database, I get the correct number of records, but they print out as blank/empty lines (look here: http://tinyurl.com/2cx44r2 ).
Here the background and the setup:
Debian Sid - OTRS 2.4.9
I have my customers already stored in an MSSQL db (SQL Express 2005 on Windows 2003 Server), therefore I tried to connect that db to my OTRS installation. I seem to have managed it using FreeTDS, because I can connect to MSSQL by hand with tsql.
My Config.pm for my CustomerDB looks like this:
# CustomerUser # (customer user database backend and settings) $Self->{CustomerUser} = { Name => 'Database clienti', Module => 'Kernel::System::CustomerUser::DB', Params => { # if you want to use an external database, add the # required settings DSN => 'DBI:Sybase:', DSN => 'DBI:Sybase:server=sqlexpress;database=Piramide_Informatica', User => 'sa', Password => 'password', Type => 'mssql', Table => 'v_customer', Attribute => {}, },
# customer uniq id CustomerKey => 'CUST_ID',
# customer # CustomerID => 'CUST_ID', # CustomerValid => 'valid_id', CustomerUserListFields => [ 'COMPANY', 'LASTNAME', 'FIRSTNAME', 'EMAIL' ],
# CustomerUserListFields => ['login', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'customer_id', 'email' ], CustomerUserSearchFields => [ 'COMPANY', 'LASTNAME', 'FIRSTNAME' ], CustomerUserSearchPrefix => '*', CustomerUserSearchSuffix => '*', CustomerUserSearchListLimit => 50, CustomerUserPostMasterSearchFields => ['EMAIL'], CustomerUserNameFields => [ 'COMPANY', 'LASTNAME', 'FIRSTNAME' ], CustomerUserEmailUniqCheck => 1,
Map => [
# note: Login, Email and CustomerID needed! # var, frontend, storage, shown (1=always,2=lite), required, storage-type, http-link, readonly, http-link-target # [ 'UserSalutation', 'Salutation', 'salutation', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ], [ 'UserFirstname', 'Firstname', 'COMPANY', 1, 1, 'var', '', 0 ], [ 'UserLastname', 'Lastname', 'LASTNAME', 1, 1, 'var', '', 0 ], [ 'UserEmail', 'Email', 'EMAIL', 1, 1, 'var', '', 0 ],
# [ 'UserEmail', 'Email', 'email', 1, 1, 'var', '$Env{"CGIHandle"}?Action=AgentTicketCompose&ResponseID=1&TicketID=$Data {"TicketID"}&ArticleID=$Data{"ArticleID"}', 0 ], [ 'UserCustomerID', 'CustomerID', 'CUST_ID', 0, 1, 'var', '', 0 ],
# [ 'UserCustomerIDs', 'CustomerIDs', 'customer_ids', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ], # [ 'UserPhone', 'Phone', 'phone', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ], # [ 'UserFax', 'Fax', 'fax', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ], # [ 'UserMobile', 'Mobile', 'mobile', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ], # [ 'UserStreet', 'Street', 'street', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ], # [ 'UserZip', 'Zip', 'zip', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ], # [ 'UserCity', 'City', 'city', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ], # [ 'UserCountry', 'Country', 'country', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ], # [ 'UserComment', 'Comment', 'comments', 1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ], # [ 'ValidID', 'Valid', 'valid_id', 0, 1, 'int', '', 0 ], ],
};
My question now is: why does it happen, that my output is *blank* when I seek for customers? While googling around, I came across references talking about "charset conversion", so I did my search on my dbs:
Using "sp_helpsort" on my MSSQL db, I get:
Server default collation Latin1-General, case-insensitive, accent-sensitive, kanatype-insensitive, width-insensitive (1 row affected) (return status = 0)
From Linux, when connecting via tsql, I get:
root@ticket:~# tsql -S sqlexpress -U sa locale is "it_CH.UTF-8" locale charset is "UTF-8"
Therefore I was thinking about some kind of "charset mismatch".
Is anybody out there who can help? Thanks in advance!
