PowerCenter Integration Service Process Code Page

PowerCenter Integration Service Process Code Page

The code page of a PowerCenter Integration Service process is the code page of the node that runs the PowerCenter Integration Service process. Define the code page for each PowerCenter Integration Service process in the Administrator tool on the Processes tab.
However, on UNIX, you can change the code page of the PowerCenter Integration Service process by changing the LANG, LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL environment variable for the user that starts the process.
The code page of the PowerCenter Integration Service process must be:
  • A subset of the PowerCenter repository code page
  • A superset of the machine hosting
    pmcmd
    or a superset of the code page specified in the INFA_CODEPAGENAME environment variable
The code pages of all PowerCenter Integration Service processes must be compatible with each other. For example, you can use MS Windows Latin1 for a node on Windows and ISO-8859-1 for a node on UNIX.
PowerCenter Integration Services configured for Unicode mode validate code pages when you start a session to ensure accurate data movement. It uses session code pages to convert character data. When the PowerCenter Integration Service runs in ASCII mode, it does not validate session code pages. It reads all character data as ASCII characters and does not perform code page conversions.
Each code page has associated sort orders. When you configure a session, you can select one of the sort orders associated with the code page of the PowerCenter Integration Service process. When you run the PowerCenter Integration Service in Unicode mode, it uses the selected session sort order to sort character data. When you run the PowerCenter Integration Service in ASCII mode, it sorts all character data using a binary sort order.
If you run the PowerCenter Integration Service in the United States on Windows, consider using MS Windows Latin1 (ANSI) as the code page of the PowerCenter Integration Service process.
If you run the PowerCenter Integration Service in the United States on UNIX, consider using ISO 8859-1 as the code page for the PowerCenter Integration Service process.
If you use
pmcmd
to communicate with the PowerCenter Integration Service, the code page of the operating system hosting
pmcmd
must be identical to the code page of the PowerCenter Integration Service process.
The PowerCenter Integration Service generates the names of session log files, reject files, caches and cache files, and performance detail files based on the code page of the PowerCenter Integration Service process.
