Ater upgrading UCMDB to version 2022.11 build 234 with Content Pack 2022.11 build 99, there are problems with non-English characters in the adapter ServiceManagerEnhancedAdapter9.41 and Data Push to SM9. CIs sent from UCMDB with characters in any attributes not ISO 8859-1 (meaning, anything apart from standard English alphabet and numbers, or the first 256 characters in ASCII table) do not display correctly in the SMAX UI. It looks like the data is transferred as ISO8859-1, while in UCMDB 2022.05 CP 2021.08, the data is transferred as UTF-8. Hotfix is available in CPE case OCTIM19X1781423
