Use GLS with the ON-Bar utility

The ON-Bar utility supports Global Language Support (GLS), which allows users to work in their native language. The language that the client application uses is called the client locale. The language that the database uses for its server-specific files is called the server locale.

ON-Bar must run on the same computer as the database server. However, you can run ON-Bar in any locale for which you have the supporting message and globalization files.

The following command performs a level-0 backup of the dbspaces specified in the file, tomb: onbar -b -L 0 -f tomb

On Windows™, you cannot use multibyte file names in backup or restore commands because they are not supported.

The sysutils database, the emergency boot files, and the storage-manager boot file are created with the en_us.8859-1 (default English) locale. The ON-Bar catalog tables in the sysutils database are in English. Change the client and database locales to en_us.8859-1 before you attempt to connect to the sysutils database with DB-Access or third-party utilities.
