This parameter specifies the code page of the Content Manager OnDemand database and is mandatory.
You must run arsdb -u to determine the correct setting. Do not run any other Content Manager OnDemand command until you run arsdb -u to determine the ARS_ORIGINAL_CODEPAGE setting. For newly created instances, the parameter must be the CCSID associated with database. This is either the MBCS CCSID (1208) for databases that are created with CCSID UNICODE, or the SBCS CCSID for databases created with CCSID EBCDIC.
When you run the arsdb -u command,
the arsdb program displays messages ARS4012E. You
can ignore the part of the message that indicates there is an error.
Review the instructions in the message regarding the correct value
to assign to the ARS_ORIGINAL_CODEPAGE parameter.
For instances created prior to version 8.5 of Content Manager OnDemand, the parameter must be the CCSID used by the server, which could be different than the database CCSID if the previously used versions of Content Manager OnDemand did not set ARS_CODEPAGE to the DB2® EBCDIC SBCS CCSID.
The
value to specify can be determined by running the 8.5 version (or later) of arsdb -u without ARS_ORIGINAL_CODEPAGE= in
the ars.cfg file.
