Message Language

SAP Replication Server allows you to print messages to the error log and to clients in several languages.

The language you choose must be compatible with the chosen character set. English, is compatible with all SAP character sets, is the default language. See the configuration guide for your platform for a list of supported languages.

Each server program in your replication system, including SAP Replication Server, SAP ASE, and other data servers, writes messages to its error log in the configured language. However, whether messages are sent to a client in the client’s language depends on the server.

For example, SAP ASE checks for the language setting of its client (SAP Replication Server) and returns messages in that language. RepAgent, an SAP ASE thread, also returns messages in the client language.

However, SAP Replication Server does not check for a client’s language; instead, it returns messages to clients in their own language. Thus, error logs can contain messages in different languages if the servers are configured in different languages.

Note: To avoid the confusion that can result from a mixed-language error log, configure the same language setting for all servers and clients at a given site.
