NLS appears in administrator after upgrade from 7.5.2 to 7.5

hello,
we have upgraded our datastage server 7.5.2 to 7.5.3.
Now in the administrator NLS appears and we need to select one nls map.
In the formerly version that was not so or we disabled that.
I am not sure, if during the installation the question came, wether to install with or without nls, but I think, there was no question concering that.

We do not have chnese, japanese and so on characters, only german, french, polish.
In our jobs we use in job params $nls_lang with value American_America.AL32UTF8.
NLS is in administrator set to ms1252-cs (the default setting after install). Does it makes sence to change this to utf8?
What happens to our data while using this feature in administrator?
Is it easy to disable without re install the datastage server?

Thanks,
Mario

Hi,
NLS is indeed an Installation option.
while the client NLS setting is automatically extracted from your client machine's settings it is required that yu have it installed.
Setting your Server side NLS sould be the one without the CS ending

Even though NLS is installed, you can disable it by setting NLSMODE to 0 in the uvconfig file (and running uvregen, etc.)
