Migrating DB2 with Japanese databases

If you are using Rational® ClearQuest® version 2003.06.xx and you have a DB2® database with a code page (codeset) set to IBM-943 (Shift-JIS), you must use the Alternative Unicode conversion tables on your DB2 database to add support for 13 characters that are omitted from the IBM-943 character set, but are included in the Windows® code page 932.

These tables allow those characters to be converted correctly to and from Unicode.

This process must be complete before you upgrade to Rational ClearQuest Version 7.1.x.

Information about how to use the Microsoft® conversion tables is available at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8//index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/core/r0012306.htm.
