Configuring for multiple locales on MariaDB

To configure Unica Campaign for multiple locales when your system tables or user tables are MariaDB, you must adjust encoding properties, date/time settings, environment variables, and the application server startup script.

First, identify the MariaDB database code set and code page. For localized environments, the MariaDB database must have the following configuration:

Database code set = UTF-8

Configuring encoding properties (MariaDB)

Choose Settings > Configuration, then specify the encoding property values listed in the following table.

For important information, see the property descriptions in "Setting properties for integration with Unica products" in the Campaign Installation Guide.


Property	Value
`Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > StringEncoding`	UTF-8
`Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > server > encoding > stringEncoding`	UTF-8
`Campaign > unicaACListener > logStringEncoding`	UTF-8
`Campaign > unicaACListener > systemStringEncoding`	UTF-8

Configure date/time settings (MariaDB)

When you configure Unica Campaign for multiple locales on MariaDB, be sure to adjust the date and time values.

Choose Settings > Configuration, then specify the values for the properties listed in the following table.


Property	Value
`Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > DateOutputFormatString`	%Y-%m-%d
`Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > DateTimeFormat`	DT_DELIM_Y_M_D
`Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > DateTimeOutputFormatString`	%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S For Japanese databases, the delimiter for the time portion must be a period (.) So, for Japanese databases set the value to: `%Y/%m/%d %H.%M.%S`
