Using GLS with ON-Bar

ON–Bar supports Global Language Support (GLS), which allows users to work in their native language. The language that the client application uses is called the client locale. The language that the database uses for its server-specific files is called the server locale.

ON–Bar must run on the same computer as the database server. However, you can run ON–Bar in any locale for which you have the supporting message and localization files. For example, if the server locale is English and the client locale is French, you can issue ON–Bar commands in French.

The following command performs a level-0 backup of the dbspaces specified in the file, tombé:

onbar -b -L 0 -f tombé 
Windows Only

On Windows, you cannot use multibyte filenames in backup or restore commands because they are not supported.

End of Windows Only

The sysutils database, the emergency boot files, and the storage-manager boot file are created with the en_us.8859-1 (default English) locale. The ON–Bar catalog tables in the sysutils database are in English. Change the client and database locales to en_us.8859-1 before you attempt to connect to the sysutils database with DB–Access or third-party utilities.
