Issue/Introduction

Trying to test Vantage Chart Generator it can happen that the GENCHART step ends CC=100 with the following main error:

Resolution

This error can occur if the VANTREPO jar file is transferred using Connect Direct which somehow damages the jar file format. 

Using the standard FTP tools (like WINSCP) helps fixing this problem.
