If any Rational® Synergy client does not use the same character encoding schemes as the underlying Oracle database, certain characters entered into the client might be replaced when they are saved to Oracle, resulting in data loss.
Before you begin
To avoid data loss, you must create the Oracle database to use the WE8MSWIN1252 character set.
Procedure
To avoid data loss, configure the Oracle database so that its character set is a superset of, or equivalent to, the character sets on all systems that run Rational Synergy clients.
