Converting CSV Files for Multibyte Operating Systems
Windchill supports international character sets and must share data across different environments. The Windchill load utilities require that the XML data files be encoded in UTF-8.
The CSV2XML utility can work with CSV files written in different encoding. The encoding of the source CSV file should be specified in the command line as follows:
windchill wt.load.util.CSV2XML -input <input csv file> -encoding <encoding of the input csv file>.
If the -encoding argument is not specified, the CSV2XML utility uses the operating system’s default encoding. The output XML file will be always in UTF-8.
