Within a Unicode-mode application, users can use multiple character sets.
You can create Unicode-mode applications for block storage or aggregate storage. You can also migrate non-Unicode-mode applications to Unicode mode. See Migrating Applications to Unicode-Mode.
The Unicode mode application property identifies whether applications are in Unicode mode.
To create Unicode-mode applications:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, select an Essbase Server that has permission to create applications.
See Managing the Essbase Server Permission to Create Unicode-Mode Applications.
Right-click, and select Create, then Application, and then Using block storage, or Create, then Application, and then Using aggregate storage.
In the Create Application dialog box, select the preferred Essbase Server.
In Application name, enter a name for the application.
Select Unicode mode.
Caution!
You cannot undo the Unicode-mode selection.
Click OK.
