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 the United States. 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. For systems purchased in the United States, the Regional Settings and Input Locale must be configured for English (United States).
The PowerCenter Integration Service is installed on a UNIX machine. The default code page for UNIX operating systems is ASCII. In this environment, change the UNIX system code page to ISO 8859-1 Western European so that it is a subset of the PowerCenter repository code page.
