When
you convert the data in a database set to a new
Rational® ClearQuest® data
code page, the characters you need to convert are in many places in the database:
- In modifiable text or multiline text fields, such as states, action names,
and Headline strings. These can occur in a master database or user databases.
You can change them by using the tools available in the Rational ClearQuest client
applications or by using the Designer Tool. You might need to change permissions
so that you can modify these objects.
- In nonmodifiable text fields, such as schema check-in comments. Such
fields are found in both the master database and the user database. They may
have to be changed through SQL or other database vendor tools.
- In certain binary large object (BLOB) fields, such as query definitions
and forms. The unsupported characters can be stored safely inside the BLOB,
but might not be displayed or processed correctly on a client.
