The default CharSet ISO-8859-1 is not a unicode character set warning while starting SOA Managed server

ISSUE:

You get the following warning message while trying to start Admin/managed server for SOA Suite 11g.The message can be seen on the .out file:

Solution (Enabling Unicode Support)

Your operating system configuration can influence the behavior of characters supported by Oracle SOA Suite.On a UNIX operating system, Oracle highly recommends that you enable Unicode support by setting the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables to a locale with the UTF-8 character set. This enables the operating system to process any character in Unicode. SOA technologies are based on Unicode.If the operating system is configured to use a non-UTF-8 encoding, SOA components may function in an unexpected way. For example, a non-ASCII file name can make the file inaccessible and cause an error. Oracle does not support problems caused by operating system constraints.

In a design-time environment, if you are using Oracle JDeveloper, select Tools -> Preferences -> Environment -> Encoding -> UTF-8 to enable Unicode support.

Set locale to UTF-8

Login to the UNIX Box and type below commands

export LANG=”en_US.UTF-8”

export LC_ALL=”en_US.UTF-8”

Check the locale settings now by typing locale command>

bash-3.00$ locale

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Now restart the Admin/managed server.
