Resolution

* Use Composer batch mode to export all the BDocs in xml format on the drive.



* Using a text editor, replace the value for all tags that have encoding in the name, to/from iso889 from/to utf8, ebcdic or any other encoding.



* Using Composer batch mode, import all modified BDocs back in Composer. If you want to import them with the same name, they need to be deleted first from Composer, before importing back.
