Business Adpater creation - Unable to read column header

Hello, 

We want to create a business adapter with a csv source file with comma delimiter. Unfortunately, the tool doesn't seems to identify the column name. 

Could you please help us ? 

Thank you

OK, Opened your file in Notepad++ and checked encoding. It still shows UTF-8-BOM.

Changed the encoding to pure UTF-8 and saved. Now the column names show. 
Please check wit attached csv file.

My guess it's about the file's encoding. Try opening the csv file in notepad++ and check if the encoding is set to utf-8. 

Hello, 

Thanks it's a little bit better 🙂 But first column is not showing and column name is to recognized.We have instead F3,F3,F4 😞 

We had this issue a while back and mfranz had the solution (which is the same as above). Are you sure your schema.inf is correct?

I had issues with some older versions of the Business  Adapter Studio, so maybe you can update that.

If that does not help, I found it a good workaround to set  the Column delimiter to "None" and use a schema.ini file.

We don't have this option 😞 

CSV file is now encoded on UTF8 it's a little bit better, but column name is not recognized. We have instead F2,F3,F4. and First column is empty

May I ask you to remove all but header + 1 row from that csv and share?
I'll try it on my end. 

That option is not given by the tool, you'll have to enter "None" manually.

Hi, 

@mfranz So I tried with schema.ini, but it doesnt change the final result

@ppyrzynski We also tried this option, and this is where we had F2,F3,F4 column header

@ppyrzynski Please find attached some lines of the file
