Copying Double-Byte Character

1 3

Set Data

When you have servers containing extended ASCII data (multinational characters) or double-byte

character set data(Japanese, Korean, and other oriental languages), extra care is required to ensure

that this data is migrated correctly. This chapter outlines the additional steps you need to take when

copying this data to Open Enterprise Server (OES) Linux and NetWare

13.1 Preparing the Workstation

If you are copying extended ASCII or double-byte character set data from a server, the workstation

must have Windows installed with the same language as the server. For example, if you are

migrating a Japanese server, make sure your workstation is running Windows with Japanese

language support.

For information on how to install language support in Windows XP, see

Interface Pack (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0db2e8f9-79c4-4625-

a07a-0cc1b341be7c&displaylang=en).

You must also enable UTF-8 support in the Novell Client

Server Consolidation and Migration Toolkit.

To do this, right-click the N icon on the workstation toolbar, then click Novell Client Properties >

Advanced Settings > Use UTF8 encoding and NCPs > Setting: On.

TIP: For Windows 2000/2003 consolidation projects, you can run the Server Consolidation Utility

on the Windows server itself. This is the preferred method, especially if you have data that uses

extended ASCII or double-byte character sets. (You cannot run the Server Consolidation Utility on

Windows NT servers, because the Novell Client no longer supports Windows NT.)

13.2 Changing the Language Setting on OES

Linux Servers

If you are copying extended ASCII or double-byte character set data from a NetWare server to an

OES Linux server using the Novell Server Consolidation Utility, you must first change the language

setting on the Linux server to match the language used on the NetWare server. You can do this using

the YaST utility. See
