How can I tell which Unicode encoding is being used on a WAS system?

According to SAP documentation, there are options as to which Unicode encoding (e.g. UTF-8, CESU-8, UTF-16) we can use. How can I tell which encoding is in use for a WAS 6.2 or WAS 6.4 Java instance that's already been installed?

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

This depends on what DB is being used. See the presentation on the Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/unicode@sap -> Unicode Overview Library -> Presentations -> Hardware Requirements in Unicode Systems.

DB2 for AS/400: UTF-16

DB2 for z/OS: UTF-16

DB2/UDB for UNIX/NT: UTF-8

MaxDB: UTF-16

MS SQL: UTF-16

Oracle: CESU-8

Best Regards,

Matt
