Transferring this to the Platform compoment because it is not Monitoring.  Not 
sure if it is a problem in the Agent Controller or the UI.
Comment 4 Samson Wai CLA 2005-05-04 13:01:16 EDT 
Can you add the "-Dconsole.encoding=nnn" when launching the java application? To
determine what "nnn" is, you can open the command window and type "chcp". You
may receive something like "936". So when you launch the java app, you have to
add "-Dconsole.encoding=MS936" in order to get the DBCS strings to appear properly.
Comment 5 VinceChien CLA 2005-05-04 23:08:12 EDT 
The DBCS strings appear properly after I "-Dconsole.encoding=MS936" to VM 
arguments. Is there any document for user's reference to know that they have to 
add arguments before they launch the java applicaiton?
Comment 6 Samson Wai CLA 2005-05-05 11:13:24 EDT 
Doc is needed.
Comment 7 Samson Wai CLA 2005-05-09 18:29:15 EDT 
Target to 4.0i4 since doc is required.

Dan, Hyades 3.3 will also exhibit this behaviour. Please add doc to both
releases. Thanks.
