Need some input please

Dear JDE List,

We are in the process of migrating from Xe to 8.9 and I have three =
questions.

1. Can we install 8.9 without Business Data and Control Tables being =
created in Unicode format (I understand that if you do an upgrade that =
BD and CT are not unicode but if you install 8.9 out of the box that =
they are unicode by default)?

2. Whether or not 8.9 is in Unicode format, can we use R98403 on the =
Xe side to copy to databases that are on the 8.9 side?

3. What character set do we use for Oracle for 8.9? Do we use =
Western European (I believe this is old) or do we use UTF-8?

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

HTML on WebSphere 4.0 for some
No 'fat' clients

Look at your PMs. I left you a phone number to call. We just went through the same thing.

Guys,

I'm in the planning stages of this upgrade (Xe to 8.9 or 8.10) and looking for a net change doc all over. Any of you have that or point me to the right direction.
