International Character Support
Windchill Risk and Reliability supports international character sets. It uses Unicode-compliant data structures and algorithms for the input, storage, retrieval, and display of text data. In addition to supporting international characters in text data fields, Windchill Risk and Reliability supports them in user names, passwords, and file names.
• When the Enterprise Edition is used with a Microsoft SQL Server database, international character sets are supported upon installation. You do not need to do any configuration or setup work.
• When the
Enterprise Edition is used with an Oracle database, the database itself must be configured to enable Unicode support. If your Oracle database is not set up with Unicode enabled, then the
Enterprise Edition does not appear to support international character sets. To determine if your Oracle database is Unicode-enabled, contact your Oracle
Administrator. For more information, consult the Oracle Technology website at
