Setting Encoding at Design Time

If the configurations of the project are saved in a local project file, TIBCO Messaging encoding is determined by the encoding property saved in the local project file. The configurations of a project are usually saved in a local project file when the project is in design stage before deployment.

To set the encoding option, follow these steps:

Procedure 

1. Start TIBCO Designer and open a project.
2. Click the root project folder in the Project panel, and then click the Project Settings tab in the Configuration panel.
3. Select the encoding value from the TIBCO Messaging Encoding list. See following figure:

Figure 142: Setting TIBCO Messaging Encoding Options

Note 

When you set the TIBCO messaging encoding, note the following conditions:

Although the value is set to ISO8859-1 by default, it is good practice to set the value to UTF-8 because it is an efficient encoding of Unicode documents, and it represents a large variety of characters.
To prevent corrupted characters from being displayed in the console when using adapter tester tool in TIBCO Designer to test the adapter, you must set java.property.file.encoding UTF-8 in the designer.tra file.
