Error description
Certain characters such as the vertical bar '|' cause IBM Rational ClearQuest Full-Text Search batch and update mode record extractor capabilities to fail when processing records with such characters. Workaround is limited at this time, you must remove these offending characters reported by the Solr WebSphere Application Server (WAS) profile's SystemOut.log file. Example error in SystemOut.log is: [?date?] 00000016 SolrCore E org.apache.solr.common.SolrException log org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Character reference '?#2;' is an invalid XML character. (...) Caused by: javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Character reference '?#2;' is an invalid XML character.
