ESSLANG Variable

Each Oracle Essbase Server installation requires that you set an ESSLANG value. See the topic on managing file encoding in the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.

The default value for ESSLANG is English (Latin1). For examples of ESSLANG values for non-English languages, see the list of supported locales in the Unicode-mode applications topic in the Oracle Essbase Database Administrator's Guide.

During configuration, EPM System Configurator writes the ESSLANG value that you specify to the Oracle Hyperion Shared Services Registry and to the launch file used to start Essbase.

For Oracle Essbase Administration Services and Oracle Hyperion Provider Services, there is no prompt to specify the ESSLANG value; it is set to the default value "English_UnitedStates.Latin1@Binary."
