Delimiters other than UTF-8 in B2B

We all know that by default B2B only supports UTF-8 encoding style but some times there is a need to send the dellimters for eg. Segment Delimiter or Element Delimiter in the outbound EDI file which are not in encoding style of UTF-8 set. If such delimiters are used then B2B gives following error
Error in B2B The Interchange Trailer is missing. The segment itself may be missing or the Segment Delimiter may be missing.

The above issue typically erupts due to UTF-8 encoding.
The error can be removed by placing the below property in tip.properties file located in B2B server config folder
"oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.encoding=ISO-8859-1"
Please make sure that you bounce the Server after saving the change.

A small point but a very important one.
