Collation in Service Manager 2012

If you decide to install Service Manager 2012 for your private cloud environment, primary requirement is a supported SQL Server. To be able to work with Service Manager, following SQL components must be installed;

  • SQL Server full-text search
  • SQL Server Reporting Services
  • SQL Server Analysis Services

But Service Manager 2012 does not like SQL Server default instance collation configurations. As you know, during a default SQL Server 2008 setup progress, your SQL collation will be configured with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. If you don’t change default collation, during SCSM 2012 installation you will get a warning message;

If you use default collation on your SQL Server, it is not possible to support multiple languages in Service Manager. I mean if you later decide to support for multiple languages you have to use different collation and that means you have to reinstall SQL Server.

On SCSM 2012 technet page, ypu can find supported OS locales and collations.
