Setting Native Client Encoding

The value for this profile determines the encoding used when uploading and downloading files from the client.

It must be set to UTF-8. The system administrator can set it at the site level. Individual users (or the system administrator) can set it at the user level in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub User Preferences user interface. The user setting overrides the site setting.

The shipped default value is WE8MSWIN1252.

To change the default value, do the following:

  1. Log in. See How to Log In to Oracle Applications Profile Forms.
  2. In the Profile field, enter FND: Native Client Encoding or some part of that string followed by the wild card: %
  3. Click Find. The System Profiles pop-up window appears with the profile displayed.
  4. Click in the Site column. An ellipsis (...) appears on the right-hand side of the field.
  5. Click the ellipsis (...). A pop-up box appears.
  6. Click UTF-8 and then OK.
  7. In the File menu, select Save and Proceed. The system displays a message that the transaction is complete.
  8. Click OK. The transaction message pop-up disappears.
  9. Close the window.
