Configuring Unicode for DB2 databases

You must configure each database used in the HCL Connections deployment for Unicode. Configuration for Unicode must be set before Connections installation because it cannot be set after installation.

1. You must perform the following steps on each DB2® instance in the deployment:

2. Stop any WebSphere® server connected to the DB2 database you are configuring.

3. Log in to the DB2 server as the DB2 instance owner.

4. Open the DB2 command window.

5. Run the following commands in sequence:

   db2set DB2CODEPAGE=1208
   

   db2stop force
   

   db2start
   

6. Run the following commands to check the new configuration:

   db2set
   

   This should return DB2CODEPAGE=1208. If not, it is not configured correctly and you should try Step 4 again.
