GLS locales with HCL OneDB products

HCL OneDB™ products use GLS locales for several tasks.

These tasks include:

When a client application requests a connection, the database server uses the client and database locales to determine if these locales are compatible.
When a client application first begins execution, it compares the client and database locales to determine if it must perform code-set conversion.
All HCL OneDB products that show product-specific messages look in a directory specific to the client locale to find these messages.
