Troubleshooting
Problem
When attempting to set locale to Norwegian the program generates Warning 849. Error Message: Warning # 849 >Warning # 849 in column 23. Text: no_NO >The LOCALE subcommand of the SET command has an invalid parameter. It could >not be mapped to a valid backend locale.
Resolving The Problem
Verify the desired locale is installed on the client and a corresponding server locale must be defined in 'loclmap.xml' for the server. By default, Norwegian is not specified as a server locale in 'localmap.xml;, but this is easily remedied.
Go to the "Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language options" menu to look at what locales are available. Standard locales "Norwegian (Bokmal)" and "Norwegian (Nynorsk)" are usually already installed. These are locales "nb_NO" and "nn_NO" respectivley. You can add them to the loclmap.xml
<client-locale name="Norwegian_Bokmal">
<server-locale name="nb_NO"></server-locale>
</client-locale>
<client-locale name="Norwegian_Nynorsk">
<server-locale name="nn_NO"></server-locale>
</client-locale>
Now do a SET LOCALE= Norwegian_Bokmal. You should get back the first found locale "nb_NO" or "nb_NO.windows-1252".
NOTE: This issue has been seen with other languages. When these other languages were removed and the software re-installed, the problem was solved.
