Preparing to configure national language support
To configure and use the national language support in your Rational®
ClearQuest® environment, you must perform the
following tasks:
- Determine the configuration and usage model appropriate to your Rational ClearQuest environment. See Configuration considerations.
- Determine the preferred Rational ClearQuest data code page for your environment.
- Create database instances and configure them using the vendor database character set corresponding to your preferred data code page.
- Set up new database sets, or upgrade your existing database sets to use the selected Rational ClearQuest data code page.
- If you are moving data from an older version repository, verify that your data retains its integrity during the transfer.

| Set the vendor database character set for all vendor databases to a value that corresponds to the Rational ClearQuest data code page you determined is appropriate for your schema repository. | Supported vendor database character sets |
| If you are running databases or importing data
from databases that run an earlier version of Rational
ClearQuest,
update your installation according to the instructions in the installation
documentation. Note: If you are creating a schema repository for new
data, you can skip this step.
