Export and Import Encoding

During the export and import steps, the content exported or imported is encoded based on the Java character ENCODING value. The default value is UTF8. For WebFOCUS environments configured for National Language Support, the encoding value may need to be edited prior to starting the migration process. Failure to provide the correct encoding value may result in corrupt exported content or repository content.

The export Java character ENCODING value is configured based on the source WebFOCUS environment client code page and platform.

The import Java character ENCODING value is configured based on the target environment client code page and platform. The default ENCODING value is UTF8.

The following table lists the client code pages and respective ENCODING values for each platform.
