• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Abstract: Reportable REST HTTP response returns XML with ANSI
  encoding instead of UTF-8
  
  Problem: The Reportable REST HTTP response is set to UTF-8 but
  the XML declaration is excluded. As a result the XML is encoded
  in ANSI (and missing the UTF-8 header), which then fails to be
  parsed in the JDBC driver. This throws a sax parser exception in
  the driver and ultimately the ETL run fails.
  
  Local fix:
  There is no known workaround at this time.
