E Globalization Settings

The OracleAS CDC Adapter for Adabas provides the globalization support for the following languages:

This appendix describes how to define the language support.

Defining the Language and Code Page

The language and code page parameters are accessed from the computer where Oracle Studio is installed.

Perform the following steps to define the required language and code page:

  1. From the Start menu, select Programs, Oracle, and then select Studio.

  2. In the Design perspective Configuration view, expand the Machines folder.

  3. Expand the machine for which you want to set the language.

  4. Expand the Bindings folder and right-click the NAV binding.

  5. Select Open.

  6. Expand the Language Settings and do the following:

    • From the Language list, select the NLS supported language to use in this binding. Valid values are are listed in the Language Name column of NLS Language Codes table.

    • From the Codepage list, select the code page to use with this language. The code pages available are determined by the Language that is selected. If you have additional code pages available, you can manually enter them in this field.

      Note: If you change the language, the code page also changes. Ensure that you want to use the selected code page with the language you selected.

      If no code page is selected, the default code page for the selected language is used.

    • From the NLS string list, select the NLS string for this language and code page. The NLS strings available are determined by the code page that is selected. If you have additional NLS strings available, you can manually enter them in this field.

      The code page is used by a field with a data type defined as nlsString. This parameter is used for a field with a code page that is different than the computer's code page. This property includes values for the name of the code page and whether the character set reads from right to left (as in middle-eastern character sets).

      For example, the following specifies a Japanese EUC 16-bit code page:

      <misc nlsString="JA16EUC,false"/>
      
  7. Save the change. New servers are used for the language selected.

The following table lists the code pages:
