Siebel Connector for Oracle Applications > Developer Procedures > Unicode to Codepage DeploymentsThe following section provides special procedures and guidelines for Siebel Connector for Oracle Applications deployments in which one application is operating in a Unicode environment while another application is operating in a codepage environment. One of the main issues to consider is that complete character conversion may not be possible if you are using applications with different character set encodings (such as Unicode UTF-16 and a codepage).
