Description

Resolution:
Instance .dat file is always in UTF-8 encoding, and cannot be changed.
The repo.encoding in server.ini has nothing to do with instance .dat file,
but it only affects RV communication. So no matter you set the repo.encoding
in server.ini to ISO8859-1 or UTF-8, it only affects RV messaging, not instance .dat file.
If double bytes are used for messaging between the repo server and repo client,
then you have to set the repo.encoding to UTF-8,
otherwise you can set it to ISO8859-1.
