The Metadata Manager repository code page is the code page of the data in the repository. The Metadata Manager Service uses the Metadata Manager repository code page to save metadata to and retrieve metadata from the repository database. The Administrator tool writes user and group information to the Metadata Manager Service. The Administrator tool also writes domain information in the repository database. The PowerCenter Integration Service process writes metadata to the repository database. Choose the repository code page when you create or upgrade a Metadata Manager repository. When the repository database code page is UTF-8, you can create a repository using UTF-8 as its code page.
The Metadata Manager repository code page must be:
Compatible with the domain configuration database code page
A superset of the Administrator tool code page
A subset of the PowerCenter repository code page
A superset of the code page for the PowerCenter Integration Service process
