Hi all!!, we have OnDemand server and thick client version 8.3 (7.1.2.6) and we 're working in migration to OnDemand 8.5. A few years ago, when we need to migrate from version 7.1.2.3 to 7.1.2.6, we followed the instructions of the technote 7007227 and we did tthe following because we had custom code page files.
Basically, the team responsible for designing of AFP forms, created the *.UCM files. In our case the files were
ibm-37_P100-1995.ucm
ibm-284_P100-1995.ucm
ibm-393_p100-2005.ucm
ibm-500_P100-1995.ucm
ibm-2065_p100-2005.ucm
ibm-2100_p100-2005.ucm
and then, with the indications of technote 7007227 that is not longer available, I created the CNV files and put again to icudt30l.dat. After that, all of the mapping fonts all mapping fonts worked successfully.
On the last week I started with some tests with the thick client to see what happens with the mapping fonts. I read that OnDemand thick client 8.4 is compatible wth Server 8.3; for that reason I installed client 8.4.0.3 and followed the instructions in technote 1290484 (
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=129&uid=swg21290484)
a) I made a copy of 6 UCM files used originally
b) I remove the versi?n number and year in each file, for example, ibm-37_P100-1995.ucm was renamed as ibm-37.ucm
c) I edited each file and I changed the name in <code_set_name>. For example <code_set_name> "ibm-37_P100-1999" was changed to <code_set_name> "ibm-37"
d) I executed makeconv -v command for each UCM file to create the CNV file
e) I created icudt36l directory under C.\Program Files\IBM\OnDemamd\Locale and I copied *.CNV files indicated in point d)
f) Also, according indicated in PMR 91366,379,000 I did the following:
If you have followed the above technote (7007227) and created custom convertors
for the OnDemand Client version 7.1.2.1 through 7.1.2.9 using ICU 3.0,
you might need to copy the previously created cnvalias.icu file to the
ICU 3.6 data directory created in step 3.
Because the preciously created cnvalias.icu file can reference ICU 3.0
convertors that have been updated in ICU 3.6, you may also need to copy
a few additional *.cnv files extracted using ICU 3.0 to the ICU 3.6 data
directory. For example, if an old convertor such as
ibm-2065_xxxx-xxxx.cnv is needed and it has been updated from
ibm-2065_p100-2005.cnv to ibm-2065_p100-2006.cnv, you will need to copy
ibm-2065_p100-2005.cnv to the ICU 3.6 data directory.Someone can tell me what could be worng in my process?
Thanks in advance
Federico
