Carlos Alberto Rocha Cardoso commented on ATLAS-3953: ----------------------------------------------------- Hi, The patch worked properly and exported the special chars without the "?" char. But after, I tried to import the ZIP on another instance, with no patch. The Import API replaced the special chars for "?". I attached the atlas_export.zip and a UI print with the imported Entity (Asset_Imported.PNG). > JSON Files from Export API with "?" char for string with special chars > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ATLAS-3953 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-3953 > Project: Atlas > Issue Type: Bug > Components: atlas-core > Affects Versions: 2.1.0 > Environment: Apache Atlas 2.1.0 embedded HBASE and SOLR > Reporter: Carlos Alberto Rocha Cardoso > Assignee: Ashutosh Mestry > Priority: Major > Attachments: 9fdc3ad0-46c2-430a-89c4-4a751d31c064.json, > ATLAS-3953-Export-ZipSink-Specify-character-endcodin.patch, > Asset_Imported.PNG, AtlasServer.PNG, > a5c148bf-5ab6-4c49-853e-855842102128.json, atlas_export.zip, path.zip > > > The Export API returns a ZIP file with some JSON files describing Atlas > Entities and TypeDefs. > I am having an issue where some special chars in JSON are being replaced by > "?" chars. > An Entity name like "Distribuição" was exported in JSON file like > "Distribui??o".
