  This is a globalization problem.  The wsadmin tool fails to
  create or modify a config object when the attribute
  contains the Python unicode characters such as u'aaa\u7674'.
  The following scripting exception is thrown:
  
  WASX7303I: The following options are passed to the scripting
  environment, and are available as arguments: "[server1,
  node, localhost, 1414, WBRK61_DEFAULT_QUEUE_MANAGER]"
     .
     com.ibm.ws.scripting.ScriptingException:
     java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: WASX7122E: Expected "]"
  was not detected.
  
  The wsadmin tool fails due to Java and Jython (Python) having
  different unicode handling and the wsadmin code (Java) does
  not recognize the specific Python unicode string such as
  u'aaa\u7674 while parsing the configuration attribute.
  

Problem conclusion

• This is not the scripting problem, but the problem has been
  worked around in wsadmin code by by adding additional
  conversion code in JythonUtilities.objectArrayToString()
  (com/ibm/ws/code/admin.scripting/src/com/ibm/ws/scripting/Jython
  Utilities.java) to convert the Python unicode chracters to
  java unicode characters while parsing the configuration
  attribute.
  
  This problem has already been fixed in V7.0.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.1.0.29.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
