Following an XCOM on Windows upgrade, files containing french characters are corrupted when being transferred through XCOM.

Resolution

There were translation tables on the old server, that were not copied over to the new server.

  1. If you can still access the original settings, look for the location of your conversion tables in the xcom.glb for the location.
  2. There will be two parameters - one for incoming and one for outgoing that will show you the names of the tables and their locations.  
    ETOA_FILENAME=
    ATOE_FILENAME=
  3. Copy the tables into the  $XCOM_HOME/convtab folder on the new machine
  4. Configure your current windows servers
  5. Edit the xcom.glb file
  6. Change INTERNAL_CONVERSION_TABLES = NO
  7. Point the ETOA_FILENAME=  to your table name $XCOM_HOME\convtab\xxxx.tab
  8. Point the ATOE_FILENAME=  to your table name $XCOM_HOME\convtab\xxxx.tab
  9. Stop and Start xcomd, to incorporate the change
