Email Response and DB character set CP1252
I have a client who is using Siebel 7.5.3.x with their Oracle database codepage set to non-Unicode CP1252.
As expected sometimes an inbound email message fails to be processed with error SBL-DBC-00110.
Our client was advised to change the Oracle DB codepage to Unicode.
But as a temporary workaround customer said that they have setup message format in MS Exchange Server for sending of emails inbound to Siebel to ISO-8859-1.
If Exchange really converts ALL inbound emails to ISO-8859-1 can we expected that the email will never fail again with the SBL-DBC-00110 error since Oracle DB is on CP1252, which seems to be a superset of ISO-8859-1? Or there is no way for us to guarantee that and they should covert the DB to Unicode?
