Set Unica Campaign language and locale property values

This is one of the required steps when configuring Unica Campaign to use a non-ASCII language or a non-US locale.

About this task

Unica Campaign supports multiple languages and locales for a single installation. Setting the Unica Campaign language and locale property values is a required step when configuring Unica Campaign to use a non-ASCII language or a non-US locale.

Use the Unica Campaign configuration settings in Unica Platform to set the values of configuration properties that control how Unica Campaign performs the following tasks:

  • reads and writes data in text files and log files
  • reads and writes date, time, and text fields within the database
  • handles text it receives from the database.

The configuration settings determine the language and locale that is used for translated Unica Campaign messages (for example, text in the Unica Campaign user interface) and the format of dates, numbers, and currency symbols on the application's web pages. The display language is also used to initialize the flowchart editor, which is vital for enabling flowcharts to display non-ASCII text.

Note: Unica Campaign supports non-ASCII column names, table names, and database names. However, Unica Campaign supports NCHAR, NVARCHAR, etc. columns on SQL Server databases only. DB2® treats NCHAR and NVARCHAR format columns as if they were regular text fields. Oracle treats them as numeric fields.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings > Configuration.
  2. Adjust the following properties, and record the values for future reference.
    • Campaign > currencyLocale
    • Campaign > supportedLocales
    • Campaign > defaultLocale
    • Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name ] > DateFormat
    • Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > DateOutputFormatString
    • Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > DateTimeFormat
    • Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > DateTimeOutputFormatString
    • Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > EnableSelectOrderBy
    • Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > ODBCunicode
    • Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > StringEncoding
    • Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > dataSources > [data_source_name] > SuffixOnCreateDateField
    • Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > server > encoding > stringEncoding
    • Campaign > partitions > partition[n] > server > encoding > forceDCTOneBytePerChar
    • Campaign > unicaACListener > logStringEncoding
    • Campaign > unicaACListener > systemStringEncoding

What to do next

The next step is to unmap and remap system tables.
