RE: Unable to change locale to Japanese in IDS 9.3

Hi Gerry,

I did the steps as mentioned by you, but I am still not able get it working.
Other than that, I also played around with the DBLANG and SERVER_LOCALE, but
I am still not able to get it working. I also tried to work around with the
registry settings for these variables for the server instance.

I am either not able to start the service for the server instances, or while
accessing the database via dbaccess it gives the -23101 error.

Where am I going wrong?

I have already consulted the IDS GLS guide, but I can't make any headway.


My environment is Win2k with Japanese localization with Japanese locales
installed for IDS via ILS 3.30.



Thanks for the help !!

Regards,
Sumanto

Hi Sumanto,

I am assuming that you are getting "23101: Unable to load locale
categories." when trying to connect to a database if not try this anyway and
respond with the error you are getting/when you are getting it.

To change the default locale of the database, set DB_LOCALE to ja_jp.sjis-s
and bring up the server.

To create a Japanese database set DB_LOCALE ja_jp.sjis-s CLIENT_LOCALE
ja_jp.sjis-s, and create the database.

NOTE: if you create a database with DB_LOCALE=ja_jp.sjis-s then you need to
have DB_LOCALE set to ja_jp.sjis-s to connect to that database.

FYI : to add Japanese localized files to the INFORMIXDIR/msg/ja_jp dir and
to add the utf8 Japanese locale use the international language supplement
(ILS 3.20 or later)

Unable to change locale to Japanese in IDS 9.3 [1071]






Hi,

I am using IDS 9.3 and I need to work with Japanese locale in addition to
the English locale which is default.

When I installed IDS, the locale was English, and in the folder
$INFORMIXDIR/msg folder I see only the folder "en_us". There is a "ja_jp"
folder under $INFORMIXDIR/gls/lc11.

I need to insert Japanese characters into char fields. What are the changes
that I need to do for the environment?

I tried by setting the default locale of my machine to Japanese and also
setting the locale variables, but the dbaccess connection to the database is
still not working. ]

The client and server are on the same machine and I am using Windows 2k.

I am in a fix as to how to proceed.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Regards,
Sumanto
