UNICODEAGENTLOG

Specifies whether the agent log is written in UTF-8 encoding or according to the locale of the system. The system locale is defined by the optional ESSLANG variable or, if ESSLANG is not specified, by the computer operating system.

Syntax

UNICODEAGENTLOG NONUNICODE | UTF-8

NONUNICODE Tells Analytic Services to encode the agent log according to the locale of the system. The default is NONUNICODE.
UTF-8 Tells Analytic Services to encode the agent log in UTF-8.

Description

By default, the agent log is encoded according to the locale of the system. Unicode-mode object names such as application and database names from different locales could be displayed in unrecognizable characters in the agent log. To avoid this problem, if you implement Unicode-mode applications, change the agent log to UTF-8 encoding. In UTF-8 encoding, a UTF-8-capable viewer or editor such as Windows 2000 Notepad displays the characters accurately.

Notes

Example

The following setting causes the cleared agent log to be written in UTF-8 encoding when the agent is restarted.
