DS 8.1 Upgrade

[info_ds]

Hi

Currently I'm upgrading DS 8.0.1 to DS 8.1

When I tried to upgrade to DS 8.1,I got the following message.

EDataStage31043:The IBM Websphere Datastge 8.0.1 installation you are attempting to upgrade has NLS enabled and your system is currently configured for UTF-8.Upgrade is not supported in this scenario.

What should I do now.Let me know if you need further details.
Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Change your default NLS map to something other than UTF-8 in the 8.0 project.

Thanks for the reply Ray.

I checked the NLS setting at the project level.It is set to ISO8859-1

check the below output from OS.

echo $NLS_LANG
AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1

Can you please let me know where exactly I should change the settings.

Thanks

The NLS_LANG environment setting is for Oracle, not DataStage. You need to go into the DataStage administrator and perform your changes there.

Thanks ArndW.

I checked the NLS setting in DS Admisnstrator.It is set to ISO8859-1

Not UTF-8

Is there any other settings I need to check?

Also I check some other post where Ray has mentioed:

With NLS enabled, data (including design information, etc.) while within DataStage are stored in an idiosyncratic UTF-8 encoding of Unicode (the encoding is called UV-UTF8)

Is this anyway related to my issue??

Thanks

I haven't tried an upgrade from 8.01. to 8.1, just fresh installations, so I don't know what else to suggest apart from contacting your support provider.

[ray.wurlod]

I don't believe the internal representation (UV-UTF8) has any bearing. It's probably time to involve your official support provider.

(They will probably advise uninstall and clean install of 8.1.)

Thanks ArndW and Ray for your help.
I'll check with IBM support.
