Setting Database Client Locale for Siebel Server

---

Before you configure the Siebel Database, you must set the language characteristics of your Siebel Servers.

CAUTION:  This procedure is required regardless of whether you install only one language pack or multiple language packs.

DB2 UDB

You must load database environment variables for either siebenv.csh (C-shell) or siebenv.sh (Korn or Bourne shell), depending on which type of shell script your operating system uses. This promotes a successful connection to the database.

To set locale parameters

Enter the following command, depending on your UNIX shell:

Korn or Bourne shell:

DB2_installation_path/sqllib/db2profile

C-shell:

source DB2_installation_path/sqllib/db2cshrc

where:

DB2_installation_path is the location where DB2 is installed

Reverify your database connection.

You will also need to set the code page at the database level. For information, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms.

Oracle

You must load database environment variables for either siebenv.csh or siebenv.sh, depending on which type of shell script your operating system uses. This promotes a successful connection to the database.

To set locale parameters

Add the following lines at the beginning of the file:

siebenv.sh

NLS_LANG = language_territory.character set;

export NLS_LANG

siebenv.csh

setenv NLS_LANG language_territory.character set

where:

language is the language your server should run in; for example, FRENCH.

territory is the territory (locale) operative for that language; for example, CANADIAN.

character set is recommended to be set to WE8MSWIN1252.

Reverify your connection to the database using Oracle's Net8, Net9, or a similar tool.
