Issue/Introduction

Gen client/server application with Windows clients and Linux servers using Tuxedo.
When using the Diagram Trace Utility (DTU) and requiring to translate Greek characters, they are not translated and show as '?''s.

Environment

Gen Diagram Trace Utility (DTU)

Resolution

In the Linux environment, when starting the Tuxedo process, ensure that environment variable IEFGXTP is set.
This variable will point to the directory where the Gen character translation tables are installed.
Typically when installing Gen on Linux, they will be in a translat directory under $IEFH.

The application itself was not affected by this but the DTU will be.
The DTU, since it is a Gen client in a sense, will require that the data be translated if the codepages of the application and DTU are different.
