Error 'The invalid escape character "\\" was specified in a LIKE predicate' in JRS

Troubleshooting


Problem

When you run a report in IBM Jazz Reporting Service (JRS), the error 'The invalid escape character "\\" was specified in a LIKE predicate' is displayed.

Symptom

Reproduction steps:

  1. Create a JKE Banking CCM project. Run DCC jobs, so you have some data in the Data warehouse.
  2. In JRS, create a report called 'Report1'. Choose Data warehouse, JKE Banking as the project area, Work item as the artifact.
  3. In the 'Set Conditions' step, choose Summary. Set the condition to be "contains" with the value "_test".
  4. Continue until Run Report. The report runs without any error.
  5. Duplicate Report1 and name it Report2.
  6. In Report2, enable advanced query and save. Do not change anything in the query.
  7. Run Report2.

Report2 returns the error:

The invalid escape character "\\" was specified in a LIKE predicate.
