Enforcing UNICODE LANG in RHEL7 for CLM 4.6 Install

If you are attempting to install CLM 4.6 on Red Hat Linux 7, you will undoubtedly run into issue where the Install Planner complains:

“Database is configured for UNICODE but your LANG is set to <b>null</b>

To save you the time from searching through the internet, here’s what you do:

1. On the Database Server and AR Server, ensure the following is set:
   1. /etc/locale.conf

      LANG=”en_US.utf8″
      LC_ALL=”en_US.utf8″
      NLS_LANG=”en_US.utf8″

       

   2. /root/.bash_profile and /home/oracle/.bash_profile

      export LANG=”en_US.utf8″
      export LC_ALL=”en_US.utf8″
      export NLS_LANG=”en_US.utf8″

   3. Reboot server after the above changes.

Re-run the Install Planner and you should be successful.
