Monitoring UTF-16 Little-endian (LE) files with Log File Agent

Question & Answer


Question

Does the Log File Agent support monitoring files in UTF-16 Little-endian (LE)?

Answer

To monitor files in UTF-16 Little-endian (LE), specify the following new parameters in the Log File Agent's configuration (.conf) file:

codepage=UTF-16
ConfigFilesAreUTF8=Y

where:
codepage
This parameter is the code page of the monitored file. Use this parameter in the configuration file
when the code page of the monitored file is different from the code page of the system. Specify
the code page of the monitored file, for example, ibm-5348_P100-1997, UTF-16, or UTF-8.

ConfigFilesAreUTF8=Y
This parameter specifies that the configuration file and format file are in UTF-8. Use this
parameter if the encoding of the configuration files is UTF-8 and the system code page is not. The
default is that the agent assumes the system encoding.
