PROBLEM SUMMARY:?

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Process Server V6.2.0 Users

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Unable to view Chinese calendars in
Business Space.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The xacml created for business calendars is stored and
retrieved from the DB and UTF-8 encoding is not being used in
the process. This will cause the below exception when the xml
file containing DBCS characters is parsed.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:?                                            
UTF-8 encoding was used in storing and retrieving the xacml     
xml from the DB.  Applying this interim fix will resolve the    
errors.
