About Unicode Support

Previous releases of Siebel Business Applications supported ASCII- and EBCDIC-based coded character set IDs (CCSIDs) on DB2 for z/OS. In Siebel 8.0, Unicode is also supported on DB2 for z/OS V8.

You can migrate your Siebel database from an EBCDIC or ASCII code page to a Unicode encoding system but this process is not part of the standard Siebel 8.0 upgrade procedure. A separate migration procedure for migrating to Unicode is performed on the DB2 host after you have upgraded to Siebel 8.0. For information on migrating to Unicode, see Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS.

For a list of supported languages and code pages, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network.
