Configure the character set for server-based flexible management
By default, HPOM for Windows uses the HTTPS protocol to
communicate with other management
servers securely. HPOM for Windows always uses the UTF-8
character set internally and for HTTPS-based communication.
HPOM for Windows also supports the UTF-8 character set for
DCE-based communication. However, if you need to forward messages
to HPOM for UNIX management servers that support only the DCE
protocol, you must configure the HPOM for Windows management server
to use a different character set.
Before you configure the character set for server-based flexible
management, consider the following details:
The character set must support all characters that may occur in
the forwarded messages, message operations, and action responses.
For example, it is not possible to forward Japanese characters
using the ascii character set.
An HPOM for UNIX management server can only receive DCE-based
communications in the specific character set that the HPOM for UNIX
administrator configures it to use.
HPOM for Windows can receive DCE-based communications in any
character set that HPOM for UNIX supports. HPOM for Windows
converts the characters to UTF-8 on arrival for use internally.
Therefore, HPOM for Windows can receive DCE-based communications
from several HPOM for UNIX servers that each use different
character sets.
An HPOM for Windows management server uses the same character
set for all DCE-based communications with other management servers
(including both HPOM for Windows and HPOM for UNIX management
servers). Therefore it is not possible to use DCE-based
communication with several HPOM for UNIX servers that each use
different character sets.
To configure the character set for server-based flexible
management
In the console tree, right-click Operations Manager, and
then click ConfigureServer.... The
Server Configuration dialog appears.
Click Namespaces, and then click Server-based Flexible
Management.
Set the value of Character code set of target servers.
This value configures the character set to which the management
server converts messages, message operations, and action responses
before forwarding them to other management servers. Select one of
the following character sets:
Server.... The
Server Configuration dialog appears.
