Running the code page utility codepageutil

If you want to change the data code page of an existing Rational® ClearQuest® schema repository, you must verify that the databases associated with that schema repository do not contain characters that are outside the planned data code page. You must identify and convert such characters before you change the data code page.

The code page utility codepageutil helps you with these tasks. It provides two commands. codepageutil test_codepg checks which character set a database can handle. codepageutil analyze_tables locates characters in an existing database that are not supported for a target data code page setting, and must be converted to valid characters to ensure data integrity.

For example, if you decided that, because there are UNIX database servers in your Rational ClearQuest environment, you want to convert a Rational ClearQuest database from code page 932 (Japanese) to code page 60932 (Japanese with safe Shift-JIS encoding), you can use the code page utility to perform the following tasks:
