java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed \uxxxx encoding
We were performing "Generate and Apply Rules Schema Objects" step (6.3.1 to 7.2.2) for a data only upgrade.
We received the following error while running the migrate.bat ( MS WIN Server 2012 + Weblogic 12c + MS SQL 2014 ) in UAT environment
Kindly help us with your suggestions.

Pega GCS team helped with RCA and the resolution below. Thanks team.
Root Cause Analysis
ANT scripts are invoked while executing the migrate OR upgrade scripts. ANT loads the concerned properties of an upgrade step from files such as migratesystem.properties OR setupdatabase.properties
File paths specified in these files may have a forward slash (“/”) or backward slash (“\”).
When ANT tries to invoke a Java class (“SchemaGenerator”) to generate schema DDL files; it may not recognize the backward slash (“\”) depending on the version of ANT / type of Operating System.
While specifying file paths in migratesystem.properties OR setupdatabase.properties use only forward slash (“/”).
Resolution
We replaced all the backward slashes in our property files with forward slashes. This resolved our issue.
