Name:
    Platform_CSID

Syntax
    Platform_CSID=Number

Applies to:
    Servers

Add-on:

    First Release:

      Obsolete since:

        Category:
          Language

        Default:
          None

        UI equivalent:
          None

        Description:
        Used in rare instances where the code page of the platform is different from the platform API, such as might be the case with the C*Star chinese overlay for NT.

        Normally domino uses the OS locale information to set the collation order that the indexer task uses on the server. It is possible to override the locale and select the collation settings. Specify the following settings in the servers ini file, using values from the Collation and Character Set tables.

        COUNTRY_LANGUAGE= xx (or xx-yy)
        PLATFORM_CSID= nnnnnnn

        Special note for Linux:
        The Linux glibc 2.1 has a bug that causes setlocale() to fail for many locales. As a workaround se the following in the servers INI file.

        PLATFORM_CSID=hhh

        Where hhh is a hex number that represents the codepage from the following list:
        Code & Codepage

        0018 KS /* note: Win Shift-KSC 5601 */
        Exxample: PLATFORM_CSID=CCA
        Would set Notes to use Code Page 935 and will force Domino to run in the desired locale no matter what the value of the LANG environment variable.
