ConfigLab Process Does Not Produce Log With Non-ascii Characters (Doc ID 1636712.1)

Goal

When running ConfigLab processes with trace options selected, process fails if the debug information contains non-ascii utf-8 characters (eg. in object descriptions). Perl script cobol/source/dm/CLBDSYNC.plx fails with error "Wide character in print". The workaround is to explicitly set encoding of log file in cobol/source/dm/CLBDSYNC.plx - in mymain() function after:

$LogFH=CreateLogFile();

add line:

binmode($LogFH, ":utf8");

Error in batch run tree is:

Compare utility error 0000065280
Compare module error
Message number: 29, 18134

This problem exists for environments with SP17/SP7 installed, it used to work in past. In the meantime we also upgrade Oracle database from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3, which could cause perl version upgrade.
