Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows > Requirements for Installing and Configuring Siebel Business Applications > Planning Your Siebel Deployment > Specifying the Locale for Siebel Business ApplicationsThis topic is part of Planning Your Siebel Deployment. When a Siebel application component (Siebel Server, Siebel Tools, or Siebel Developer Web Client) opens a connection to the Siebel database, the locale is automatically determined on a per-session basis for the connection. This setting overrides settings that might be defined elsewhere. Do not explicitly set the NLS_LANG (Oracle-specific) or SIEBEL_CODEPAGE environment variables for Siebel Business Applications. Windows Registry settings for these variables might be defined, but these settings are not used for the database connection. These registry settings affect any software that runs on that computer (except for Siebel Business Applications). For deployments using Oracle Database, the NLS_LANG variable determines default behaviors that can be overridden using other variables, such as NLS_SORT, that are not set automatically for Siebel Business Applications using an Oracle Database connection. Therefore, settings that you make for NLS_SORT will affect any software that runs in the Siebel environment (including Siebel Business Applications). CAUTION: For development environments, Siebel Business Applications support only binary sort order. Therefore, for Oracle Database, when you are setting the locale for your development environment, either do not set NLS_SORT at all, or set it to You can explicitly set the locale to be used by a Siebel Server or Application Object Manager component by setting the Locale Code parameter.
