Extended support for code pages in Version 7.0

Version 7.0 of Rational® ClearQuest® introduces new features and extends existing ones in these areas:

Beginning in version 7.0, Rational ClearQuest processes data in Unicode, and its applications use the Rational ClearQuest data code page to write to its databases. In previous versions, data was processed using the local character set. Even when the Rational ClearQuest data code page does not match the local character set, Rational ClearQuest applications can now connect to the Rational ClearQuest database in read/write mode. In previous versions, write operations were not allowed unless the local character set matched the Rational ClearQuest data code page.

Support for additional code pages

This version of Rational ClearQuest provides support for additional languages and locales. Specifically, the product now includes support for the following Microsoft Windows code pages on all supported platforms:

In addition, there is also support for safe ShiftJIS. For details on supported languages and locales, see Supported data code pages and Locales associated with supported Rational ClearQuest data code pages .

New national language support for Linux and the UNIX system

In this version of Rational ClearQuest, full national language support has been extended to the Linux and the UNIX system. In previous versions of the product, only ASCII data could be written to Rational ClearQuest databases and schema repositories located on Linux or the UNIX system. This version allows data using any supported data code page to be written to databases and repositories on any supported platform.
