This article is applicable to Infogix Assure, Insight, Perceive and ER server installations.

WebSphere and Wildfly installations

Create a diagnostic package from Assure Admin Console. Within that package's node folders, a file will be produced titled env.txt. You can locate the default character set by the file.encoding line:

System properties:
awt.toolkit=sun.awt.windows.WToolkit
file.encoding=Cp1252
file.encoding.pkg=sun.io
file.separator=\

JBoss installations

View the file.encoding property at the top of your boot.log found within the following directory:

<install_dir>/jboss/server/<jvm_name>/log/
