Enterprise Server - Win2003
-----------------------------------------
SystemVariable/NLS_LANG=.ZHS16GBK
ControlPanel/Regional options=Simplified Chinese (Default)
JDE.INI/Doublebyte=1
JDE.INI/Localcode=SC_GB


DB - Oracle 9204
------------------------------
NLS_DataBase_Parameters/NLS_Characterset=ZHS16GBK
NLS_DataBase_Parameters/NLS_Nchar_Characterset=AL16UTF16


Deployment Server - Win2000 Advanced Server
----------------------------------------------
SystemVariable/NLS_LANG=.ZHS16GBK
ControlPanel/Regional options=Simplified Chinese (Default)
JDE.INI/Doublebyte=1
JDE.INI/Localcode=SC_GB


Web Server - Win2000 Advanced Server
----------------------------------------------------------
SystemVariable/NLS_LANG=.ZHS16GBK
ControlPanel/Regional options=Simplified Chinese (Default)

Thanks

I am not sure if this is related or not because I don't fully understand your question, however, PS has stated that they do not support multiple double-byte languages per environment if that environment is in Unicode format.

Additionally, I would ask if anyone out there has attempted this and if there is any way to have multiple double-byte languages per Unicode environment?

See "statement" below from PS support:

"Per our conversation this morning, these are the reasons why combining multiple double byte languages within an environment are not recommended by J.D. Edwards:

Because Traditional, Simplified Chinese and Japanese languages all come from different IBM character sets, combining any of these languages in one environment will cause problems within the database if wanting to move to OneWorld(r), incorporate the Unicode functionality coming in OneWorld(r) version B9 or possibly use other software that accesses this database. If you have future plans that include the Unicode functionality, note that you cannot convert multiple character sets within one database to Unicode."

"The recommendation for languages in both World and OneWorld(r) is such that when the character set changes between languages, an additional environment/instance must be created. There is no other way to manage the hexvalues of the database. Yes, we have had customers that do this, but they will have major concerns, with no current J.D. Edwards resolution, if they move to OneWorld(r)."

"Because most of the J.D. Edwards double byte files are coded to a CCSID of 65535, storing multiple character set records in the same database causes integrity issues that we currently do not have programs to correct."

"Please take this information into consideration in your planning. If you have additional questions or concerns please let me know."
