The following list includes examples of situations when you would use the Essbase Unicode File Utility.
To determine if a file contains an encoding indicator and, if it does, how it is encoded.
To add a UTF-8 signature to a UTF-8-encoded file. UTF-8-encoded files must include the UTF-8 signature.
To add a locale indicator to an outline file or rules file that is input to a Unicode-mode application on a Release 7.0 Essbase Server, if the file was created by an earlier release of Essbase.
To remove a locale indicator from a file created by Release 7.0 Oracle Essbase Administration Services, if the file is to be used with an Essbase Server release prior to 7.0.
Note: | Release 7.0 rules files that are not compatible with prior releases of Essbase are excepted. |
For a more detailed description of encoding and locale indicators, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.
