Teradata supports multibyte character set (MBCS) and Unicode text, which Essbaseretrieves using TPTapi.
To use this functionality, perform these tasks:
Verify that the client character set that Essbase uses in installed or enabled in the Teradata database.
Make sure that the character set of the ODBC driver matches the character set that Oracle Essbase passes to TPTapi.
To do so, you should create the ODBC connection DSN with the character set name that matches that used by the $ESSLANG variable, as shown in Table 2.
Note: | Essbase retrieves data in the supported character set; however, the SQL queries must be in English. |
