Configuration Upload in International Environments
Before starting the download, you must ensure that the configuration
data does not contain any data that cannot be represented in ASCII, for
example German umlauts or the Euro symbol (!). Use 7-bit ASCII in this
case. 7-bit ASCII is a subset of all available character sets. 7-bit ASCII
data transfers without data corruption.
There are several methods to enable ASCII-enforced upload:
❏
❏
❏
Passing a parameter to opcconfig
When configuring HPOM for the first time, call opcconfig with the
parameter -a to enable ASCII upload of the initial configuration.
This is typically used together with the -c parameter. The -c
parameter allows you to specify a database character set for use with
opcconfig. See the man page opcconfig(1M) for more information.
The following example configures HPOM to use a character set of
Simplified Chinese:
export LANG=zh_CN.hp15CN
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/install/opcconfig -a -c ZHSI6CGB231280
Running opcdbsetup -a or opcdbinit -a also triggers opccfgupld
to use the -ascii option.
Passing a parameter to opccfgupld
If you want to upload a third-party integration package or Smart
Plug-in (SPI), or simply want to upload data that you have
downloaded yourself, you can directly call the HPOM configuration
upload tool opccfgupld with the parameter -ascii:
/opt/OV/bin/OpC/opccfgupld [...] \
-ascii
Setting a variable on the server
If you want to enforce configuration upload in ASCII mode, set the
following variable:
ovconfchg -ovrg -ns opc -set \
OPC_CFG_CHAR_SET_ASCII TRUE
Where is the name of the management server
resource group.
