prpcServiceUtils error malformed properties file generated in Windows system
I am trying to use prpcServiceUtils to automate deployments. My build server is windows 10. The issue I am facing is that whenever the .properties file is generated the rest url is wrong:
jenkins-PegaExport1-12.pega.rest.server.url=http\://localhost\:8080/prweb/PRRestService/
Wherever there is a colon (:) it is replaced by \:
Seems to be an encoding issue to me . In prpcServiceUtilsWrapper.xml "propertyfilegenerator" class from prdeploy.jar is being used which is responsible for creating the .properties file using the exportprops ant command.
Is there any working around for this issue? Maybe it is a text encoding issue and chaning some setting on OS or JVM level can resolve this?

Hi Anand,
I understand that : is replaced with \: in the generated properties file for URL. Are you facing any issues while running the prpcServiceUtils.bat file.
As long as you have specified the valid URL pega.rest.server.url in below format in prpcServiceUtils.properties, you should not face any issue during the execution even though the generated properties has URL with escaped charater for :
pega.rest.server.url=http://<host name>:<port number>/<context>/PRRestService/<tenant url hash>
If you can post the error that you are getting during the prpcServiceUtils.bat that would be helpful.

Hello Sushant,
I am using the instructions in the URL https://collaborate.pega.com/question/using-prpcserviceutils-and-jenkins-automated-application-deployment to export RAP. What I understand that the ant step generates a .properties file dynamically each time the Project is run on Jenkins using the Jenkins-build.xml from the original prpcServiceUtils.properties.
In the generated properties file pega.rest.server.url value has the malformed :\. Hence it is not working. However if I skip the ant step and directly hardcode the path prpcServiceUtils.properties file in the Windows Back step it works. However it limits the dynamic nature of the process.
