Globalization
WebSphere Adapter for FTP is a globalized application that can be used in multiple linguistic and cultural environments. Based on character set support and the locale of the host server, the adapter delivers message text in the appropriate language. The adapter supports bidirectional script data transformation between integration components.
- Globalization and bidirectional transformation
The adapter is globalized to support single- and multi-byte character sets and deliver message text in the specified language. The adapter also performs bidirectional transformation, which refers to the task of processing data that contains both left-to-right (Hebrew or Arabic, for example), and right-to-left (a URL or file path, for example) semantic content within the same file.
- Bidirectional transformation in business objects
For outbound processing, you can modify the business objects to enable the bidirectional transformation of the wrapper properties in the WebSphere Adapter for FTP business object and the data in content-specific or generic business objects.- Properties enabled for bidirectional data transformation
Bidirectional data transformation properties enforce the correct format of bidirectional script data exchanged between an application or file system and integration tools and runtime environments. After these properties are set, bidirectional script data is correctly processed and displayed in IBM Integration Designer and IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.
