Situation

When trying to open a save Ad Hoc View when using a language that has double-byte characters, an error is displayed


Resolution

Workaround:

  1. Take a backup of the server.xml file on the ZENworks Reporting server.

      • Windows: %ZRS_HOME%\js\apache-tomcat\conf\server.xml

      • Linux: /opt/novell/zenworks-reporting/js/apache-tomcat/conf/server.xml

  1. Add the attribute URIEncoding="UTF-8" for all the <Connector> elements.
    For example, if there is a line similar to
    <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443"/>
    add the attribute so that it looks like this
    <Connector port="8009"     URIEncoding="UTF-8" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443"/>
    and repeat for each instance in the file

  2. Save the server.xml file.

  3. Delete the folder called 'Catalina' at the location

      • Windows: %ZRS_HOME%\js\apache-tomcat\work\

      • Linux: /opt/novell/zenworks-reporting/js/apache-tomcat/work/
        to clear the server cache.
