Troubleshooting Export – Determine whether the encoding setting is wrong
Symptoms
- Export results are formatted with the wrong encoding.
- Non-English characters (for example, Russian, Hebrew) are replaced by question marks.
Cause
The setting for the export encoding is missing or it has the wrong value. This issue is related to exporting data using the CSV format from the instance.
Resolution
To solve the issue, set the correct encoding using the system property, glide.export.csv.charset.
| Note: By default, ServiceNow exports all CSV files in Windows-1252 encoding. If you need to export translated data, set the glide.export.csv.charset system property to UTF-8 (starting with the Calgary release). |
