Microsoft Windows

For Microsoft Windows systems, the ICU_DATA path is set when the ICU 1.6 conversion function is first called. This logic is used on Microsoft Windows:

1. The system looks up the environment variable JDE_B9_ICU_DATA. If this environment is found, it becomes the path for the conversion files.

2. The system looks for this section in the jde.ini file:

   [XML]

   ICUPath=<<install>>/system/locale/xml

   If the ICUPath setting is found, it becomes the path for the conversion files.

3. If the system cannot find the ICUPath setting in the jde.ini file, the ICU_Path is:

   EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY/./system/locale/xml

   The EXECUTABLE_DIRECTORY must be <<install>>/system/bin32.

Based on this logic, you usually do not need to set the JDE_B9_ICU_DATA ENVIRONMENT variable or the jde.ini file. You need to set the jde.ini ICUPath only when the location of the icudata.dat is different from system/locale/xml.
