Appendix I: Japanese Character Set Support 114
Appendix I: Japanese Character Set Support
The system is not configured to support the Japanese Character Set when it is installed, since the default
installation is to replace any unprintable character with a period. If you do not want the system to automatically
convert unprintable characters, you have to modify a parameter in the OVNMCONF file. To make sure this change
is maintained from release to release and any time you apply changes via the OVNM Host Installation Client,
you need to perform this change using the procedures documented in this section.
For more information about this process, refer to
Appendix H: Customizing OVNM Configuration Files .
The parameter that needs to be changed is set to the following, by default:
SET SNMP EMSTEXTSPECIALCHARATER .
The way this is configured, OVNM will replace any unprintable character with a period. The documentation in
the OVNMCONF File immediately before this line is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- The following SNMP parameter is used to specify the character that will
-- be used to replace unprintable characters in the EMS message. If you
-- are using foreign language sets, you may want to turn this option off.
-- If you do not want anything replaced, use this:
-- SET SNMP EMSTEXTSPECIALCHARATER NONE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see by the documentation, you need to change this parameter value to NONE.
The change that you apply needs to be between the following two lines:
-- Start Customer Changes #1 --
-- End Customer Changes #1 --
By making the change here instead of just changing the parameter in its original location, the change will be
maintained from release to release and any time changes are applied via the Host Installation Client. If you just
change the original line, then any time the OVNMCONF file is rebuilt (currently during an upgrade and by the
ALTROVNM routine which gets invoked whenever you apply changes via the Host Installation Client), you will
lose your modification.
