Hi all, 

would you be able to help me on how to add an encoding to the beginning of a XML message that will be sent via Connect-MQ ?

It should be either of the below added to the start of the message:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<?xml version="1.0"?>

e.g. the message would look similarly:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<MsgData>
    <Header>
        <HeaderVersion>2.1</HeaderVersion>
        <MessageReference>000001010184749</MessageReference>
        <CreationDateTime>2024-07-08T08:07:11Z</CreationDateTime>
        <MessageType>pacs.008.001.08</MessageType>
        <UsageIdentifier>swift.cbprplus.02</UsageIdentifier>
        <AppHeaderType>head.001.001.02</AppHeaderType>
        <BulkType>None</BulkType>
        <TransmissionParameters>
            <Environment>ACC</Environment>
            <TransmissionReference>4000164407</TransmissionReference>
            <BackEndId>SIMISO-133</BackEndId>
            <Direction>ToNetwork</Direction>
            <Network>SWIFT</Network> ....

Is this possible? 

I was looking into using -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8, however I am not sure how to implement this, whether in the MessageCreator activity or somewhere bit else?

Thank you for any suggestions.
