Enable Unicode

This section discusses how to enable unicode.

Beginning with version 16.0 (2.1), the Maconomy database and BPM must be Unicode-enabled. You do this as part of the installation or upgrade.

To set up BPM for supporting Unicode, follow these steps:

Note: After you enable the Maconomy database for Unicode, follow the same steps for enabling the BPM Data Warehouse database for Unicode.

1. Perform the following steps depending on your system:
   • If you have BusinessObjects installed on Windows:
     1. In the Windows registry, set the following key:

        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_OraDb11g_home1\NLS_LANG

        to:

        AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8

     2. Create a system variable, NLS_LANG, and assign it the value:

        AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8

   • If you have BusinessObjects installed on Linux or AIX:
     1. Set up an environment variable, NLS_LANG, with the value:

        AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8

     2. Restart the BusinessObjects services.
     3. Ensure that universes have the parameter UNICODE_STRINGS set to YES (this is the default value).
