Step 6. Verify External Procedure or Custom Transformation Procedure Compatibility
Step 6. Verify External Procedure or Custom Transformation Procedure Compatibility
External Procedure and Custom transformation procedures must be able to process character data from the source code pages, and they must pass characters that are compatible in the target code pages.
In this case, the External Procedure or Custom transformations must be able to process the German and Japanese data from the sources. However, the PowerCenter Integration Service passes data to procedures in UCS-2. Therefore, all data processed by the External Procedure or Custom transformations must be in the UCS-2 character set.
