IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Version 8.1

Considerations for multicultural support

Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus supports a variety of single byte and multi-byte character encodings for use in different locales.

If user names and passwords are specified in multi-byte characters and these credentials are to be verified against external authentication sources, then these sources must also support multi-byte characters. If multi-byte characters are not supported, user names and passwords must be specified using ASCII characters.

When using Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator, you must ensure that the character set encoding of each ObjectServer that is being managed has a corresponding entry in the $NCHOME/omnibus/java/jars/csemap.dat file. This file provides a mapping between Sybase and JRE character set encoding naming conventions. If the character set encoding of an ObjectServer is missing from csemap.dat, you must add a mapping to this file by using the format:

Sybase_encoding Java_encoding

For example:

ascii_7 ASCII
