Working with Rational ClearQuest data code pages
After you determine the appropriate Rational ClearQuest data code page
and create a vendor database instance with the corresponding vendor database
character set, you can perform the following tasks.
- Create a Rational® ClearQuest® schema
repository by using the Maintenance Tool.
- Change the data code page for an existing Rational ClearQuest schema
repository by using the Maintenance Tool.
- Specify file encoding when exporting user and group information by using
the User Administration Tool
- Select the file encoding when exporting the results of a query by using
the Export Tool.
- Select the file encoding when exporting a profile by using the Maintenance
Tool.
- Create a new user database, selecting from all schemas defined in the
schema repository. Newly created schema repositories with data code page values
of 932 or 60932 (Japanese), or 936 (Simplified Chinese) contain matching localized
versions, and ASCII versions, of every schema included with the product. Other
schema repositories contain only ASCII schema versions. Localized schema version
names reflect their language and the package version numbers.
- Install or upgrade packages in a schema, selecting packages from a list
of the latest available packages compatible with the Rational ClearQuest data
code page of the schema repository. In a schema repository whose data code
page value is set to 932 or 60932 (Japanese), or 936 (Simplified Chinese),
the Package and Package Upgrade Wizards display the latest matching localized
versions, and the ASCII versions, of every package. In all other schema repositories,
the Wizards display only ASCII package versions.
In addition, Rational ClearQuest continues
to provide two command line utilities: codepageutil and installutil. You can
use these utilities to move data between existing database sets and a version
7.0 database set, while ensuring that the characters in your existing database
sets are supported by your target Rational ClearQuest data code page.
