APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When log in as a Spanish user, run a report, enter a Spanish
  alphabetic character containing a tilde or accent as a filter,
  and hit <enter>, the Spanish character that was entered is
  replaced by unexpected special characters and no match on the
  Spanish alphabetic character is made.
  
  This problem was not present in 3.4.1.2, but has appeared in
  3.4.2.4.
  

Local fix

• For Liberty edit the tririga/wlp/etc/jvm.options
  add
  -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8
  To the line after
  -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
  For full traditional WAS The JVM option is in the WAS Admin
  Console.
  Go to
  Application servers > server1 > Process definition > Additional
  Properties > Java Virtual Machine
  Add
  -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8
  to the end of the
  Generic JVM arguments
  For WebLogic, edit the weblogic startup command script, find
  the Java Options section, and add
  -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8
  

Problem summary

• Need to add logic filter to encode filter value to UTF-8.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed a regression in  where multi-characters are no longer
  working as runtime filters in the report. This is targeted to
  the 2h2016 release as well as the 3.5.1.1 and 3.4.2.5 fix
  packs.
  

Temporary fix
