Hi All,

We need to change the format of BOC payment file from UTF-8 to ANSI by doing through the batch process in IFS Cloud.

The approach is to use the batch process (background job) with defined character sets if we need to generate file encoding with ANSI format.

Could you please explain and let me know how to apply a defined character set to the job when it runs?

Regards,

Vignesh

Hi ​@ProVignSu,

In IFS Cloud, you cannot set a character set (e.g., ANSI) directly on a background job. All file generation inherits UTF‑8 from the database. To produce ANSI files, you need to handle encoding at the file generation layer, either by customizing the PL/SQL/API logic, using an IFS Connect transformer, or post processing the generated file externally.
