Invalid Spanish characters in cmd commands after upgrade from r14.0.3 to r14.5 CU4

Products

• CA Client Automation - IT Client Manager

Issue/Introduction

In cmd commands some Spanish characters are displayed incorrecly in r14.5 CU4:

Environment

Client Automation 14.5.CU1 to CU6

Cause

The caf.es saved with Encoding: UTF-8 instead of ANSI.

Resolution

The solution requires the 2 steps:

1. Set the default code page for OEMCP (code page used by cmd commands) to 1252 (it should not 
affect the others cmd commands), then restart windows.

REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage /v OEMCP /t REG_SZ /d 1252 /f

and

 

2. Copy the original caf.es from r14.5 GA bin folder to the CU4 folder before applying it over r14.5 GA. 
Or,  open the caf.es from any CU* folder with notepad and save with the option Encoding: ANSI 
(confirm the file extension is .es only).
