Configuring National Language Support

To configure National Language Support (NLS) settings for the WebFOCUS Client:

  1. Click Configuration and then NLS Settings. The available NLS code page settings appear.

    NLS code page settings dialog box

  2. Select the operating system on which the WebFOCUS Client resides.

    The available code pages for the selected operating system are displayed in the scroll-down list.

  3. From the list, select a code page that configures the client for the correct display of report output in the browser.

    Tip: The language selected for the client usually corresponds to the language selected for the server from the WebFOCUS Reporting Server Console.

    If the language chosen from the WebFOCUS Reporting Server Console does not appear in the drop-down list in the WebFOCUS Administration Console, select User Defined and manually enter the code page in the User Defined Code Page field that appears.

    You would do this, for example, if the server adds support for a new code page that is not yet reflected in the client software.

    In the following sample configuration window, the administrator specified code page 437.

  4. Click Save to store your NLS settings. The console will generate and update the client configuration file (nlscfg.err) with the CODE_PAGE setting. Note that if you click NLS Settings again, your new setting is highlighted as the active code page.
