Replacing special characters in SAP IdM

Hi Guys,

I have a requirement to use special characters such as (Æ, Ø, etc.) in SAP IdM 7.2 SP7 with MS SQL 2008 R2.

To calculate and set the mail attribute I need to convert these special chars into standard Latin chars accepted by ADS.

I am using the function replace(/Æ/g, "AE"); but this seems not to work with special chars.

Although it does work with standard chars such as A-Z.

Any tips or ideas?

Thanks very much.

Regards,

Ridouan
