Use IBM® Installation
Manager to add non-English language packs when you install the WebSphere® Application Server
for z/OS® product. On z/OS, language packs provide translated
administrative console panels and messages for additional languages.
Before you begin
Obtain the product repository for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 8.5. The following
instructions assume that the repository is mounted at /usr/lpp/InstallationManagerRepository/HBBO850.
The repository can be mounted read-only.
Decide which language
packs you need.
- Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR)
- Chinese, Simplified (zh_TW)
- Chinese, Traditional (zh)
- Czech (cs)
- English (en)
- French (fr)
- German (de)
- Hungarian (hu)
- Italian (it)
- Japanese (ja)
- Korean (ko)
- Polish (pl)
- Romanian (ro)
- Russian (ru)
- Spanish (es)
Each installed copy of WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS can have a
different set of installed language packs.
There are no language
packs for DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS or Web Server Plug-ins
for IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.
Procedure
- Mount the product file system for the product which is
being installed.
- Log in to the Unix System Services shell under the Installation
Manager user ID, and change the directory to the eclipse/tools subdirectory
of the Installation Manager binaries location.
For example:
cd /InstallationManager/bin/eclipse/tools
- When you install the product, specify the cic.selector.nl
property on the imcl install command.
The
property should be set to the list of locales corresponding to the
desired language packs. Separate the locate entries with double commas,
and do not enclose the list in quotes.
For example, the following
command:
imcl install com.ibm.websphere.zOS.v85
-installationDirectory /usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V8R5
-properties cic.selector.nl=de,,zh
-repositories /usr/lpp/InstallationManagerRepository/HBBO850
-acceptLicense
would install the product
with the language packs for English, German. and Traditional Chinese. Note: It
is not necessary to specify English. English is always installed.
This
also sets the list of languages for any other products that are installed
at the same location or will be installed there in the future.
Note: If
you specify new language packs when installing an additional product
at an existing location, all products already installed at that location
will be updated to include their own language packs for the new languages.
As a result, you should make the repositories for other products
available to Installation Manager when adding language packs to a
package group containing other products.
- Unmount the product file system and remount it read-only
for use by WebSphere Application
Server nodes and servers.
What to do next
You can now use the administrative console in the selected
languages.
