Set your locale to hi_IN.UTF-8 and test your XML document again. You are using the Xerces processsor - which is extremely robust.

There are many Unicode characters that are not allowed in an XML document, according to the XML specification. See sections 2.2 and 4.1 of the 1.0 specification. Typical disallowed characters are control characters (such as 0x1a) , even if you escape them using the Character Reference form, i.e. &#xxxx; I would examine your XML document to see if there is a spurious 0x1a there. (use od -hc, xxd, 1.0 etc.)

The our of command cat /etc/default/init | grep -v "^#"

HTML Code:

TZ=Asia/Calcutta
CMASK=022
Yes i didn't replace all occurance, relaced first two lines, thing to check if error move from that line, but it didn't.., it stuck at the first line where i had made changes

That doesn't make sense. The error message you posted "An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1a) was found in the value of attribute" implies the line hasn't been modified.

I did replaced all the occurrences

<TcUnitOfMeasure unitOfMeasureName="Microampere" unitOfMeasureSymbol="&#x03BC;A"/>
<TcUnitOfMeasure unitOfMeasureName="Microfarad" unitOfMeasureSymbol="&#x03BC;F"/>
TcUnitOfMeasure unitOfMeasureName="Microgram/liter" unitOfMeasureSymbol="&#x03BC;GL"/>
<TcUnitOfMeasure unitOfMeasureName="Microgram/cubic meter" unitOfMeasureSymbol="&#x03BC;GQ"/>
<TcUnitOfMeasure unitOfMeasureName="micro Hertz" unitOfMeasureSymbol="&#x03BC;HZ"/>
<TcUnitOfMeasure unitOfMeasureName="Microliter" unitOfMeasureSymbol="&#x03BC;L"/>
TcUnitOfMeasure unitOfMeasureName="Micrometer" unitOfMeasureSymbol="&#x03BC;M"/>

but some how my server is not picking the characters and still throwing exception at same point/line

You do not appear to have created a fresh config file since you began using this                               application.
If you have a set of Solaris install images available to you, it is recommended                               that you do so before proceeding.


Do you wish to create a new config file? [y/n]: y

Please select the option that was used to install Solaris

1.  CD installation/net installed CD images
2.  DVD installation/net installed combined image

Please enter your choice:
This mean i need to request my admin team get the install CD's and install?, is there any way i can download a package file and install these

What says:
Code:
grep 'TcUnitOfMeasure unitOfMeasureName="Microampere"' model_dbextract.xml | od -c

?

You don't if one of hindi, japanese, korean, thai or chinese is okay for you.
You can simply set this variable in your profile and log in again:
Code:
LC_ALL=hi_IN.UTF-8
export LC_ALL

Issue Solved, Thanks for all the help
Hello experts
HTML Code:
jlliagre & fpmurphy
, today i tired temporarily setting the locale to
HTML Code:

The upgrade went fine, and now i reverted back to old locale by removing etry in .profile, mean while requested my IS team to load the locales on my servers

Thank you very much much for all effort you guys spent in helping to fix this issue and mean while i learnt quite a bit about locale feature in Solaris
