Designing maps for bidirectional languages

The WebSphere Business Integration Server supports bidirectional languages. This support is in a standard Windows-type bidirectional format (logical left to right). With this support, data that flows into the InterChange Server environment that comes from one of the nine bidirectional language enabled connectors is guaranteed to be in uniform bidirectional language format (CWBF=ILYNN). However, data can be introduced into a map from sources other than enabled connectors, for instance, a component that does not support bidirectional languages that is exported through Web services, an adapter that does not support bidirectional languages or data imported from some external source where the bidirectional support is unknown. For more information see, Using bidirectional functionality in Activity Editor

Using non-bidirectional enabled sources can create bidirectional format inconsistencies that cause comparisons within a collaboration to return incorrect results. These types of errors can be avoided by:
