Workflow Startup Issue on WebSphere on Linux Systems

If LANG is set to xxxUTF-8 on Linux systems, you may see a sun.io.MalformedInputException error during workflow startup. This happens on WebSphere on Linux.

For more information about the error, see the following and search for sun.io.MalformedInputException:

Workaround:

Set the LANG variable to non-UTF8 (for example, en_US instead of en_US.UTF-8) before starting the application server, or set the variable in the users profile.

For example:

[root@linux bin]# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
[root@linux bin]# LANG=en_US
[root@linux bin]# export LANG
[root@linux bin]# echo $LANG
en_US
[root@linux bin]# ./startServer.sh server1
