IC89146: STERLING CONTROL CENTER HAS ISSUES WITH USING BRAZILIAN CHARACTERS IN A SLC NAME ON A WINDOWS PLATFORM

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The console allowed me to add SLC name with Brazilian
  characters as a wildcard SLC.  However, once added, the SLC
  name displayed
  differently.  I believe this is due to the Brazilian special
  characters.  I tried to remove the SLC through the console, but
  received an error.  I had to manually remove the xml from the
  folder and remove the name from the wildcard slc ordering text
  file.
  

Local fix

• STRRTC - 360345
  SF / SF
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Customer applied the fix and it works now.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix will be part of the next maintenance release and on
  other releases.
  

Temporary fix

• Description of issue: After a SLC was created from the console,
  some of the characters in the XML file were not encoded
  properly. The user was unable to edit the SLC properties,
  receiving the following error message: CSLC095E Group file does
  not exist. Additionally. the engine would not startup, due to
  the bad encoding, until after the XML file was manually deleted
  from the slc\group folder.. This issue was specific to a windows
  environment, which was running Control Center as a started
  service (not started via runEngine.bat)
  
  Description of fix: Modified file runEngine$.lax to include file
  encoding of UTF-8. (i.e. added property:
  "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"). This will ensure that UTF-8
  file encoding is used when the product is run as a started
  service in Windows environments.
  

Comments

• Fix described will be the permanent fix
