How can I set a default language for properties exchanged in Attributes-from-SAP.xml while maintaining GUI in Logon Language.

We have a global user base that are collaboration and are logging into SAP ECTR with their native language. In these cases, the DESCRIPTION property being passed from SAP are being set to the logon language. We need this to default to English while the users remains logged on in their native language.

Please suggest any solution.

<APPL_ATTRIBUTE name="SAP_DESCRIPTION" hidden="false">
  <DIR field="LONGTEXT" row="0" language="EN"/>
</APPL_ATTRIBUTE>

this might work. If you really have longtext and don't want it to exceed 40 characters you can use SUBSTRING to cut off trailing part.

We have already tried this suggestion as well but it did not return any value. It works for Attributes-to-SAP but not for Attributes-from-SAP.

can you provide you configuration and log files with level DEBUG? this should work - if the document has any text in EN.

I must have had a syntax error in my application of the xml. I retried it a second time and it is working as you suggest. Thanks for the quick response.
