Usage Note 54243: IBM WebSphere might need an option to correctly handle links in OLAP-based SAS® Web Report Studio reports
 |  |  |  |
When you are working with an OLAP-based report in SAS Web Report Studio, you might be redirected to a view that is different from the one you requested. For example, suppose that you drill down into a hierarchy that contains non-Latin1 characters. If you use the link displayed in the drill path, SAS Web Report Studio might direct you to the default view of the crosstab.
Such behavior can be the result of incorrect interpretation of UTF-8 strings that contain the parameters for the requested report view.
To circumvent the problem, add the following custom property with a value of true to the web container of the IBM WebSphere application server.
com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.parseUTF8PostData
Setting this property helps WebSphere correctly pass parameters to SAS Web Report Studio.
For details about web container configuration, refer to the WebSphere documentation.
