Getting error "Unreadable bytes" while loading "AWS.M2.CARDDEMO.ACCTDATA.PS" file to the Blusam Administration Console

The "Unreadable bytes" error you're encountering while trying to load the "AWS.M2.CARDDEMO.ACCTDATA.PS" file into the Blusam Administration Console is a known issue that can occur during the AWS Blu Age workshop. This error typically suggests that the system is having difficulty interpreting the file content, which could be due to various factors in the setup or configuration. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

1. Use the server option: Instead of uploading the file locally, try using the server option to load the dataset into Bluesam. This approach has resolved similar issues for other workshop participants.

2. Check file encoding: Ensure that the PS file is properly encoded. You may need to set the file encoding explicitly to UTF-8 in your workflow configuration.

3. Clear your browser cache: There might be a caching issue causing incorrect data to be loaded. Try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser to access the Blusam Administration Console.

4. Verify file format: Double-check that the PS file is in the correct format expected by Bluesam. Ensure it begins with the appropriate headers or structures.

5. Check file permissions: Make sure the application has the necessary access rights to open and read the file you're trying to upload.

6. Synchronize configurations: Run the Publish action on the Tomcat server to synchronize everything between the Eclipse WST working folder and the Tomcat configuration folder.

7. Verify datasource configurations: Ensure all required datasources (jics, bluesam, bac, primary) are correctly configured in your Tomcat configuration files (context.xml and server.xml).

If these steps don't resolve the issue, you may need to review the workshop documentation for any specific instructions related to dataset uploading, or reach out to the workshop support for further assistance. The error you're seeing suggests that the system is having trouble interpreting the file content, which could be due to various factors in the setup or configuration.
