SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor supports UTF-8 encoded data within
data streams, but with some limitations.
- UTF-8 encoded data is supported in both input streams and derived streams (including
output streams). Thus, events streamed or loaded into Source Streams may contain
UTF-8 encoded data, and this data is correctly carried through the project. Testing
has shown that the server and studio are able to receive, store, display and output
UTF-8 encoded data.
- String functions support non-ASCII data when the utf8 project deployment option in the project
configuration (CCR) file is set to true. The only
operators supported for non-ASCII UTF-8 strings are =, <, >. The use of
non-ASCII string data in expressions in any other way (including filter expressions)
is not supported. For information on the project configuration file, see the Configuration and Administration Guide and the
Studio Users Guide.
- Constants and literals cannot be assigned UTF-8 values outside the ASCII range.
- Adapters have not been tested with (non-ASCII) UTF-8 data.
- Non-ASCII characters are not supported in metadata such as stream names, column
names, and so on.
- The Studio interface, error messages, logs, and so on are only supported in
English.
