GLS and SNMP

HCL Informix® products include a Global Language Support (GLS) feature, which lets you work with languages that use code sets other than the standard English code set. However, the SNMP protocols that OnSNMP supports (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2) do not recognize these different code sets.

OnSNMP uses the US English locale when it sends information to the master agent. If OnSNMP cannot convert the code set of the database to the US English locale, it fails and returns error -23101 with the following message:

Unable to load locale categories.

OnSNMP sends only 7-bit characters. If an eighth bit is present, OnSNMP truncates it. Thus, when an SNMP Network Manager requests character information, OnSNMP returns a value. However, the value might not reflect the name of the database or table.

OnSNMP sends numeric information correctly, regardless of the code set that the database uses.
