PI39891: Sync rules set with a patterns defined in _synergy_ignore_file_p attern.txt with WHEN %path =~ and Umlauts in the path fail

Rational Synergy Interim Fix 2 for 7.2.1.3
Rational Synergy Interim Fix 1 for 7.2.1.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Performing a work area sync will not exclude objects defined
  with the new mapping rule format WHEN %path =~ in
  _synergy_ignore_file_pattern.txt when the path contains Umlauts
  in _synergy_ignore_file_pattern.txt
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1) In the root directory of a Rational Synergy project, create a
  controlled file called _synergy_ignore_file_pattern.txt.
  2) Add a mapping rule using the new mapping rule format such as:
  'WHEN %path=~ '.*/???/.*\.abc' IGNORE'
  using Umlauts in the path
  see
  http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSRNYG_7.2.1/com.ibm.
  rational.synergy.reference.doc/topics/sc_c_mapping_rules.html
  3) Perform a work area sync.
  
  Expected result: Objects with a format as defined in
  _synergy_ignore_file_pattern.txt will be ignored.
  
  Actual result: Objects with a format as defined in
  _synergy_ignore_file_pattern.txt are not ignored and are
  synchronized.
  
  Note:
  Rules set in _synergy_ignore_file_pattern.txt using Umlauts in
  the filename work as expected
  Rules set in the Synergy GUI using Umlauts in the filename or
  paths work as expected
