Code Page Validation

Code Page Validation

The machines hosting the
CDI-PC Client
,
CDI-PC Integration Service
process, and
CDI-PC repository
database must use appropriate code pages. This eliminates the risk of data or repository inconsistencies. When the
CDI-PC Integration Service
runs in Unicode data movement mode, it enforces session code page relationships. When the
CDI-PC Integration Service
runs in ASCII mode, it does not enforce session code page relationships.
To ensure compatibility, the
CDI-PC Client
and
CDI-PC Integration Service
perform the following code page validations:
  • CDI-PC
    restricts the use of EBCDIC-based code pages for repositories. Since you cannot install the
    CDI-PC Client
    or
    CDI-PC repository
    on mainframe systems, you cannot select EBCDIC-based code pages, like IBM EBCDIC, as the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page.
  • CDI-PC Client
    can connect to the
    CDI-PC repository
    when its code page is a subset of the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page. If the
    CDI-PC Client
    code page is not a subset of the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page, the
    CDI-PC Client
    fails to connect to the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page with the following error:
    REP_61082 <
    CDI-PC Client
    >'s code page <
    CDI-PC Client
    code page> is not one-way compatible to repository <
    CDI-PC repository
    name>'s code page <
    CDI-PC repository
    code page>.
  • After you set the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page, you cannot change it. After you create or upgrade a
    CDI-PC repository
    , you cannot change the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page. This prevents data loss and inconsistencies in the
    CDI-PC repository
    .
  • The
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    process can start if its code page is a subset of the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page. The code page of the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    process must be a subset of the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page to prevent data loss or inconsistencies. If it is not a subset of the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page, the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    writes the following message to the log files:
    REP_61082 <
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    >'s code page <
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    code page> is not one-way compatible to repository <
    CDI-PC repository
    name>'s code page <
    CDI-PC repository
    code page>.
  • When in Unicode data movement mode, the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    starts workflows with the appropriate source and target code page relationships for each session. When the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    runs in Unicode mode, the code page for every source in a session must be a subset of the target code page. This prevents data loss during a session.
    If the source and target code pages do not have the appropriate relationships with each other, the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    fails the session and writes the following message to the session log:
    TM_6227 Error: Code page incompatible in session <session name>. <Additional details>.
  • The
    CDI-PC
    Workflow Manager validates source, target, lookup, and stored procedure code page relationships for each session. The
    CDI-PC
    Workflow Manager checks code page relationships when you save a session, regardless of the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    data movement mode. If you configure a session with invalid source, target, lookup, or stored procedure code page relationships, the
    CDI-PC
    Workflow Manager issues a warning similar to the following when you save the session:
    CMN_1933 Code page <code page name> for data from file or connection associated with transformation <name of source, target, or transformation> needs to be one-way compatible with code page <code page name> for transformation <source or target or transformation name>.
    If you want to run the session in ASCII mode, you can save the session as configured. If you want to run the session in Unicode mode, edit the session to use appropriate code pages.
