Note: |
Ensure that Planning is registered with Shared Services and is deployed to an application server before configuring the database. If you are configuring a database for Planning and a previously configured database is detected, you are prompted to create a new database or reuse the existing database. If you are configuring a product upgrade, the fields on this page are read-only except for the password. |
You can select an option to set the application to Unicode mode. Unicode-mode applications support multiple character sets, and Essbase uses UTF-8 encoding to interpret and store character text. Character-based artifacts in Unicode-mode applications, such as member and alias names, can include characters from different languages. For more information, see the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Online Help.
