EBCDICCodePage Configuration for EBCDIC Database

The following configuration is required to specify that you are using an EBCDIC code page for DB2 on z/OS and to avoid encountering Workspace delivery failures while delivering a Workspace (that has an EBCDIC code page in the database).

You must set the EBCDIDCodePage parameter to specify that you are using the EBCDIC code page for DB2 on z/OS. The EBCDICCodePage parameter changes the sort order to ASCII in your EBCDIC database, which prevents intermittent Workspace delivery failures related to the sort order of WS_SRC_ID records. EBCDICCodePage is a component level parameter.

  1. Set the EBCDICCodePage parameter at the component level (such as an Application Object Manager component) by running Server Manager and entering a command similar to the following:

    change param EBCDICCodePage=TRUE for comp component_name

    To set the EBCDICCodePage parameter at the enterprise level, run Server Manager and enter a command similar to the following:

    change entparam EBCDICCodePage=True

    The command to list the parameter value is:

    list advanced entparam EBCDICCodePage
  2. In the case of Siebel Tools and Siebel Remote Web client, set the EBCDICCodePage parameter in the [Siebel] section of the respective .cfg file as follows:

    [Siebel]
    EBCDICCodePage=True
  3. Restart all Siebel Servers in the Design Repository (DR) instance.
