Parsing XML issues with Special Characters
We are trying to parse an xml in Pega which has some tags with values having special characters like in-één ABCD. While parsing this tag the parse xml adds some unknown characters like in-����n ABCD. Is there a way by which we can remove this encoding in parse-xml?

Hi Anoojit,
Can you post your PRPC version and also check your PRSYSMGMT for the JVM setting "file.encoding" - it is set to UTF-8 or something else ?
Thanks !

Hi John,
Thanks for the prompt response. The version of PRPC is 7.1.7 and indeed the file.encoding in the system is set to ISO646-US. how can I change this to UTF-8?

Hi Anoojit,
No worries - the setting 'file.encoding' is actually a JVM ("-Dfile.encoding") argument - SMA just shows what it is set to : you can alter this value from at the Application-Server level - on Tomcat this is usually done in the 'setenv.bat' (or 'setenv.sh' on *nix) in the JAVA_OPTS variable:
Here's an example from a test system I have here:
set JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xms700M -Xmx1024M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=384M -Xloggc:gc.log -Dfile.encoding=utf-8
On other App Servers - you can usually do from from the 'admin' console - change the JVM startup options.
You will need to restart the JVM for this option to be changed - then re-check in PRSYSMGMT and make sure it shows up.
If you still have the issue after making this change - let us know - maybe there is something else in-play here as well.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the inputs John. I would try that out in the dev environment and then let you know how it goes.

Indeed it was with the file encoding parameter in the JVM settings,Once it was changed from the admin console (since we run on weblogic), the parsing went fine, Thanks John for the quick and helpful insight on this.

Great - glad it worked out ! When you get chance - can you mark the question as 'answered' - so others can see the question and answer together when searching the forum in the future.
