SimCorp Dimension is an integrated single database investment management system mainly coded in Dyalog APL, partly in C#. Due to market demands, the APL and database part of the system has been migrated to support Unicode. Stig will take you through the steps needed, and the pitfalls to be aware of, to get successful through the migration process and finally release the product. The main challenge was to get all the interfaces to e.g. external C-libraries, third party products and general native file access issues. A general introduction to what Unicode is and why it is, or is not, the answer to all problems with multilingual challenges when it comes to sharing data will start the session.
