[OFBiz] Users - UTF-8 Errors

[Fred Forester-2]

Hi All,

I am getting Invalid UTF-8 Encoding errors when trying to import this. How can I get around this?

This may be a problem with your database setup, ie character set that  
is used and such. What sort of error are you getting? Detail is  
always a good thing....

Actually, that’s about all I am getting is that message at the bottom of the
xml import screen. "Invalid UTF-8 Encoding errors". It took me a while to
track it down to that record.

However, I found running the files through iconv prior to importing seems to
have fixed the problem.

Thanx
Fred

So, you mean that the file wasn't in UTF-8 and you had to convert it  
to that, or that you had to convert it from UTF-8 to something else  
to get it to work?

Usually if you specify UTF-8 as the character set in the XML header  
(ie: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>) it should work fine,  
but if it isn't let me know...

Sorry... I had to convert to UTF-8. I will admit I am not using <?xml
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
