The PowerCenter Integration Service and PowerCenter Client code pages must be subsets of the PowerCenter repository code page. Because the PowerCenter Client and PowerCenter Integration Service each use the system code pages of the machines they are installed on, you must verify that the system code pages are subsets of the PowerCenter repository code page.
In this case, the PowerCenter Client on Windows systems were purchased in Switzerland. Thus, the system code pages for the PowerCenter Client machines are set to MS Windows Latin1 by default. To verify system input and display languages, open the Regional Options dialog box from the Windows Control Panel.
The PowerCenter Integration Service is installed on a UNIX machine. The default code page for UNIX operating systems is ASCII. In this environment, the UNIX system character set must be changed to UTF-8.
