Character encoding

Before you can localize, you must have your operating system set to a specific default character encoding.

When planning the localization of Sterling Order Management System Software, ensure that your operating system default character encoding is set to the value that is specified by the yfs.ui.defaultEncoding property in the yfs.properties file during product installation.

To modify this property, add an entry for it in the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/customer_overrides.properties file.

To enable specification of characters other than the ASCII set (for example, Asian characters and vowels with accents), ensure that the WebSphere® JVM client.encoding.override property is set to UTF-8, when deploying on IBM® WebSphere.
