Working with a Unicode CDI-PC repository

Working with a Unicode
CDI-PC repository

The
CDI-PC repository
code page is the code page of the data in the
CDI-PC repository
. You choose the
CDI-PC repository
code page when you create or upgrade a
CDI-PC repository
. When the
CDI-PC repository
database code page is UTF-8, you can create a
CDI-PC repository
using the UTF-8 code page.
The domain configuration database uses the UTF-8 code page. If you need to store metadata in multiple languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic, you must use the UTF-8 code page for all services in that domain.
The Service Manager synchronizes the list of users in the domain with the list of users and groups in each application service. If a user in the domain has characters that the code page of the application services does not recognize, characters do not convert correctly and inconsistencies occur.
Use the following guidelines when you use UTF-8 as the
CDI-PC repository
code page:
  • The
    CDI-PC repository
    database code page must be UTF-8.
  • The
    CDI-PC repository
    code page must be a superset of the
    CDI-PC Client
    and
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    process code pages.
  • You can input any character in the UCS-2 character set. For example, you can store German, Chinese, and English metadata in a UTF-8 enabled
    CDI-PC repository
    .
  • Install languages and fonts on the
    CDI-PC Client
    machine. If you are using a UTF-8 P
    CDI-PC repository
    , you may want to enable the
    CDI-PC Client
    machines to display multiple languages. By default, the
    CDI-PC Client
    s display text in the language set in the system locale. Use the Regional Options tool in the Control Panel to add language groups to the
    CDI-PC Client
    machines.
  • You can use the Windows Input Method Editor (IME) to enter multibyte characters from any language without having to run the version of Windows specific for that language.
  • Choose a code page for a
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    process that can process all
    CDI-PC repository
    metadata correctly. The code page of the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    process must be a subset of the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page. If the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    has multiple service processes, ensure that the code pages for all
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    processes are subsets of the
    CDI-PC repository
    code page. If you are running the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    process on Windows, the code page for the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    process must be the same as the code page for the system or user locale. If you are running the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    process on UNIX, use the UTF-8 code page for the
    CDI-PC Integration Service
    process.
