Problem Note 62028: Attempts to create a model group run fail and "Unexpected character..." is returned in the log
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS® Risk and Finance Workbench, attempts to create a model group run fail if the password for the user ID being used contains one or more special characters. The characters that trigger this issue are an equal sign (=), an ampersand (&), and a percent sign (%). If you encounter this issue, then messages similar to the following are generated in the log:
Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object,
'true', 'false' or 'null')\n
at [Source: org.apache.http.conn.EofSensorInputStream@16360934; line: 9, column: 2];
nested exception is org.codehaus.JsonParseException: Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)):
expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')\n
