Code page requirements

Updating the code page values

1. Attach to the container:

   docker attach ClassicCDCVSAM

2. Set the required values;

   SET,CONFIG,SERVICE=CAPTURE,ZOSCODEPAGE=value
   SET,CONFIG,SERVICE=CNTL,HOSTCODEPAGE=value

3. Confirm the value that you set by displaying the configuration:

   DISPLAY,CONFIG,ALL

Updating code page values for already-mapped and replicated data

1. Make changes as described in Updating the code page values.
2. Mark the subscription for refresh by using Management Console or the MTO command SET,REPL.
3. If you use MTO commands, manually activate the describe process for the replication with the START,REPL command and DESCRIBE parameter, which validates metadata at the source server and transfers metadata about active subscriptions and replication mappings to the target server.
4. To process the refresh for the subscription, start replication using Management Console or START,REPL.

Code page converters

Use the tables below to identify the appropriate code page converters for your single byte-locale. You can then specify the converters for the z/OS® remote log reader, Linux container, and the UNIX and Linux CLI client interface in the UNIX and Linux cac.ini configuration file.

SBCS locales

Table 1 and Table 2 identify the available code page converters for single-byte character sets.

Table 3 shows the DBCSCODEPAGE values for z/OS EBCDIC DBCS code pages.
