That was it. I had a \u in my Plugin-Log-File: name. The only other \u I have in ar.cfg is for AREA: AREA-LDAP-User-Filter: cn=$\USER$ Which doesn't seem to be causing a problem. I'm guessing because the U is capitalized. I'd say that was the mother of all red herrings. :-) Thanks for the help, Thad -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Hullule, Kiran Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2013 10:29 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Error on startup: Malformed \uxxxx encoding If you have any log file with \u in it configured in ar.cfg/ar.conf you will see this error. I have seen this problem in past and reported to BMC engineering. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Mike Steiner Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2013 8:53 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Error on startup: Malformed \uxxxx encoding I'm on a Windows 2012 server. Yes even though SQL Logging is turned off it was still causing the issue. Seems odd but it worked for me. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Thad Esser Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2013 4:23 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Error on startup: Malformed \uxxxx encoding ** Hello, Has anyone seen this error in their arcarte-stderr-YYYY-MM-DD.log file when starting AR Server? ----- Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed \uxxxx encoding. at java.util.Properties.loadConvert(Properties.java:568) at java.util.Properties.load0(Properties.java:391) at java.util.Properties.load(Properties.java:341) at org.pentaho.di.www.ARCarte.loadRAppPasswords(Unknown Source) at org.pentaho.di.www.Carte.runCarte(Unknown Source) at org.pentaho.di.www.Carte.main(Unknown Source) ----- After four tries, armonitor gives up trying to start it. Google says its most likely that I need double slashes as part of a path in a java properties file somewhere. Where would I look? Or is that a red herring? This is only happening in one environment; two others are fine. I've compared settings between the three, but am obviously missing something.

BMC has already had me update the application password in UDM:RAppPassword. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
