Where do I need to set the encoding

If you want to make everything work properly with the encoding you want, you need to set it in two points.

  1. Set the encoding in your config.ini file (for example: encoding = UTF-8)
  2. Set the encoding in the (newly created) magic.properties (for example: encoding = UTF-8)

What is the magic.properties / Where should I create it?

The scm/lscm commands have their own property file to set the encoding. Create the file in your jazz-scm tools folder (SCMToolsFolder) where scm/lscm is stored (on Linux ~/.jazz-scm/magic.properties, on Windows C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\jazz-scm\magic.properties)

You can read more about this property file here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/SCMMagicFile

Still doesnt work? (Windows)

Try to set environment-variable JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS to -Dfile.encoding=UTF8
