Assignment of the data code page value affects
your databases in the following ways:
- Rational® ClearQuest® validates
all data entry, including the data entered through the Rational ClearQuest Web client or
the Rational E-Mail Reader. Data entered from integrations, such as the Rational ClearQuest integration
with Rational ClearCase®,
is also validated. If you set the Rational ClearQuest data
code page value to one that does not match the local character set of the
system on the integrated software is running, you might not be able to transfer
integration-generated data into the database. See Rational ClearQuest integrations and data code pages.
- Rational ClearQuest does
not validate the data in attachments (for example, in a Word document attached
to a Rational ClearQuest record).
To include characters that are excluded from the Rational ClearQuest data
code page, you can enter them in an attachment. However, you cannot query
for data stored in attachments, and reports and charts do not make use of
this data.
