Connect-File UTF-8
All,
We are using Connect-File to generate a .txt file at a server location. The file that is generated is UTF-8 encoded. Is this a default feature by any chance? As far as i know we do not have any settings that creates an encoded file.
Questions:
1. What could be the probable reason?
2. How can i change this encoding to ANSI as that is the desired format.

I'm not sure , but other similar things (like converting HTMLTOPDF for instance) will check the 'file.encoding' Java System Property to determine such defaults.
Check your SMA ('prsysmgmt') - the first page - scroll to the bottom and see what 'file.encoding' is.
If it is UTF-8 - you *probably* want to keep that (in general it makes life simpler in my view) - but you could experimentally change it and re-test your Connect-File rule ?
The Rule-Connect-File.Invoke activity can be over-written, can it not?
} else {
// store the data into the source buffer
buffer = strContent.getBytes("UTF-8");
}
