Affects
Teams that author Reporter CCS templates or manage self-hosted Reporter data sources.
What changed
ACCS001, ACCS005, and ACCS010 templates require the
{# reporter:output-encoding=utf-16be #} directive. Reporter converts this output to UTF-16BE with a BOM.
Single-tenant self-hosted deployments can seed data sources with DATASOURCE_<NAME>_* variables. Multi-tenant deployments create and manage each tenant’s data sources through the Reporter API. These are documentation corrections; no runtime release is announced.
Impact
Classification: Action required. Templates using the previous UTF-8 declaration can produce files that do not meet the documented CCS output contract.
What you need to do
1
Add the UTF-16BE output directive to every ACCS001, ACCS005, and ACCS010 template.
2
Validate generated files with the consumer that receives your CCS submission.
3
Use the Reporter API, not startup seeding variables, to manage data sources in multi-tenant deployments.
