Last Published: April 25, 2020

Summary

Steps to display international characters in Metadata Explorer by adjusting the charset value in each of the Metadata Explorer's JavaServer Pages (JSP) files.

Procedure



  1. The charset value in each of the following Metadata Explorer JSP files can be modified to the appropriate charset value based on locale. By default these files are located in the following locations:
