Character encodings supported by IBM® InfoSphere Information Server
To ensure that server jobs run and compile correctly, the operating system of the target computer must use an encoding that is supported by the globalization configuration that is used during installation. Verify that the operating system of the target computer uses a supported character encoding.
The following table lists the languages and encodings that are supported by InfoSphere® Information Server on various operating systems. For more information, see the IBM InfoSphere DataStage® and QualityStage® Globalization Guide.
