Natural module makes a call to a client interface object (stub), which calls EntireX service (using XML RPC server), which in turn invokes a SOA composite. The connectivity works. The problem I have is that when I pass a Pipe Character (||) from my natural module, entireX changes it to öö . (Similarly, !! gets modified to ÜÜ) . Business wants the Pipe Character preserved. I wanted to know if entireX uses a specific conversion standard ? or is there any way I can send the Pipe Character without it being transformed in the output that is received. I am relatively new in this area. Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance. Gautam ---

Is EntireX running on the mainframe as well ? ---

Hi Wolfgang, The EntireX Broker run as a Job in Mainframe. However, the XML RPC Server runs as a service on Windows. ---

Just asking because it may make a difference when it comes to changing the conversion routines. Anyway, there are two options, [CONVERSION](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/webmethods/wmsuites/wmsuite8-2_sp2/EntireX/8-2-SP2_EntireX/adminGeneral/attributeFile.htm#CONVERSION_service) and [TRANSLATION](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/webmethods/wmsuites/wmsuite8-2_sp2/EntireX/8-2-SP2_EntireX/adminGeneral/attributeFile.htm#TRANSLATION_service). An introduction to the concepts can be found [here](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/webmethods/wmsuites/wmsuite8-2_sp2/EntireX/8-2-SP2_EntireX/internat/bestApproach.htm) Hth, best regards    Wolfgang ---

Interesting… thanks for helping point us in the right direction, Wolfgang. We are in the midst of a data center move and I haven’t had time to research this for Gautam, so this will hopefully point me to the answer more quickly. Updates to follow. ---
