Configure Locale Environment Variables on Linux
Verify that the locale setting is compatible with the code page for the repository. If the locale setting is not compatible with the repository code page, you cannot create an application service.
Use LANG, LC_CTYPE, or LC_ALL to set the Linux code page.
Use the following command to verify that the value for the locale environment variable is compatible with the language settings for the machine and the type of code page you want to use for the repository:
locale -a
The command returns the languages installed on the Linux operating system and the existing locale settings.
Set the following locale environment variables:
- Locale on Linux
Linux allows different locale values to represent the same locale. For example, “utf8,” “UTF-8,” “UTF8,” and “utf-8” represent the same locale on a Linux machine. Informatica requires that you use a specific value for each locale on a Linux machine. Make sure that you set the LANG environment variable appropriately for all Linux machines.
- Locale for Oracle database clients
For Oracle database clients, set NLS_LANG to the locale you want the database client and server to use with the login. A locale setting consists of the language, territory, and character set. The value of NLS_LANG depends on the configuration. For example, if the value is american_america.UTF8, set the variable in a C shell with the following command:
setenv NLS_LANG american_america.UTF8
