Data Source New Records and Products Uploads

Data imported as part of a data source upload or new record upload are required to be UTF-8 encoded.

Note:
  • On Windows, tools such as, Notepad allows conversion from one encoding type to another. Files can be saved as "UTF-8" encoded using Notepad.
  • On UNIX, this can be achieved by using tools, such as:
    • iconv 
which is part of the GNU libc (and hence probably already on your system).

      Usage: 
iconv -f ISO8859-8 -t UTF-8 -o myfile.utf8 myfile.input

    • uniconv 
shipped with yudit (http://www.yudit.org/)

      This is a free unicode text editor. (https://www.j3e.de/linux/convmv/).

      Usage: uniconv -decode ISO8859-1 -encode utf-8 -in myfile.input -out myfile.utf8
