Assignment of the data code page
value affects your databases in the following ways:
- Rational® ClearQuest® validates
all data entry, including the data entered through the Rational ClearQuest Web client or
the Rational E-Mail Reader.
Data entered from integrations, such as the Rational ClearQuest integration
with Rational ClearCase®,
is also validated. If you set the Rational ClearQuest data
code page value to one that does not match the local character set
of the system on the integrated software is running, you might not
be able to transfer integration-generated data into the database.
See Rational ClearQuest integrations and data code pages.
- Rational ClearQuest does
not validate the data in attachments (for example, in a Word document
attached to a Rational ClearQuest record).
To include characters that are excluded from the Rational ClearQuest data
code page, you can enter them in an attachment. However, you cannot
query for data stored in attachments, and reports and charts do not
make use of this data.
