When you run a workflow in ASCII data movement mode, the

CDI-PC Integration Service

enforces source and target code page relationships. To guarantee accurate data conversion, the source code page must be a subset of the target code page.

In this case, the environment contains source databases containing German and English data. When you configure a source database connection in the

CDI-PC

Workflow Manager, the code page for the connection must be identical to the source database code page and must be a subset of the target code page. Since both the MS Windows Latin1 and the ISO 8859-1 Western European code pages contain German characters, you would most likely use one of these code pages for source database connections.

Because the target code page must be a superset of the source code page, use either MS Windows Latin1, ISO 8859-1 Western European, or UTF-8 for target database connection or flat file code pages. To ensure data consistency, the configured target code page must match the target database or flat file system code page.

If you configure the

CDI-PC Integration Service

for relaxed code page validation, the

CDI-PC Integration Service

removes restrictions on source and target code page compatibility. You can select any supported code page for source and target data. However, you must ensure that the targets only receive character data encoded in the target code page.
