Email Filename Corruption with Multibyte Characters

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 5 replies

Reports emailed with multibyte characters in their name show corrupted attachment filenames, often starting with `=?UTF-8?B?`. I understand this relates to JavaMail. What is the fix?

    This issue arises because JavaMail in EBS 12.2 uses the newer RFC 2231 standard, which causes problems with email clients that don’t support splitting long filenames. The solution is to update a developer parameter for the Output Post Processor (OPP).

    Which parameter must be added to the OPP developer parameters?

  • Support Enginatics

    You need to update `fnd_cp_services` to concatenate the parameter `:-Dmail.mime.splitlongparameters=false` to the existing developer parameters column for the FNDCPOPP service.

    After executing the update statement and committing, do I need to restart anything?

  • Support Enginatics

    Yes, you must restart the Output Post Processor after updating and committing the parameter change for the fix to take effect.
