Oracle DB characters AL32UTF8
Hi,
i am going to set a db oracle for Dynatrace Application Monitoring 6.0 and i should know if i can set the following type of character "AL32UTF8".
There is a post that says dynaTrace supports this type of character in earlier versions, but i know in this version.
Thanks,
Regards.
Hi Jose!
Yes, please go ahead with that encoding and make sure, making a connection test before connecting to the database. During this test, also the charset will be tested and will tell you, if any problem with this charset occurs.
Best regards,
Roland
Hi,
my 2 cents and grains of salt:
I´m almost certain that the test will tell you AL32UTF8 is incompatible, but the gist is (see Performance Warehouse Administration#RecommendedSettingsfortheDatabase and in the FAQ there):
As long as you don´t use accented characters in measure names / strings stored in the DB you should be fine with UTF8.
Otherwise use a UTF16 character set.

Thanks!!!
