To help prevent accidentally setting applications to Unicode mode, each Essbase Server has a property that gives it permission to create or migrate applications to Unicode mode.
This permission applies only to creating Unicode-mode applications and migrating applications to Unicode mode. You can work with Unicode-mode applications regardless of the value of this Essbase Server property. It is recommended that this property is not selected unless it is needed.
When Essbase has permission to create applications in, and migrate applications to, Unicode mode, Essbase is in Unicode mode.
You can see whether Essbase is in Unicode mode by viewing the server property, Permission to create Unicode-mode application.
Note: | Unicode-mode applications cannot be changed to non-Unicode-mode applications. |
To view and enable or disable the Essbase permission for creating Unicode-mode applications:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, select an Essbase Server.
Right-click and select Edit, then Properties.
View the Permission to create Unicode-mode application check box to see if Essbase is in Unicode mode or non-Unicode mode. Perform an action:
Select the check box to set Essbase Server to Unicode mode.
Clear the check box to set Essbase Server to non-Unicode mode.
Click Apply.
