Abstract
CA400EXP-INSTALL NO SECONDARY LANGUAGE SUPPORT IN V6R1
END OF ABSTRACT
Error Description
In previous releases, System i Access for Windows included
support for installing secondary languages. Secondary languages
allow users to configure System i Access for Windows to display
System i Access features in different languages.
In V6R1, GA code of System i Access for Windows does not have
secondary language support.
Problem Summary
See Error Description.
Problem Conclusion
This PTF adds secondary language support for V6R1M0 System i
Access for Windows.
You can install secondary languages from a System i platform
that has both System i Access for Windows (5761-XE1) and the
desired secondary language installed, or from the System i
Access for Windows V6R1M0 DVD, as long as the client computers
have the latest service level installed.
The following instructions describe how to install secondary
languages from a System i and from the DVD.
Note: in the steps detailed below, you can use setup.exe
instead of cwblaunch.exe as long as you are located in the
ImageXX folder that contains the installation image that is
right for your PC, i.e. Image32 for 32-bit based PCs, Image64a
for AMD 64-bit and Image64i for Itanium.
To install a secondary language from a System i:
In order to make secondary languages available to your users,
you first need to apply System i Access for Windows PTF SI31390
or later on your System i.
During a new installation:
1. Map a drive to the System i QIBM sharepoint
(\\NetServerName\QIBM).
2. Double-click QIBM > ProdData > Access > Windows >
cwblaunch.exe to start the setup program.
3. Choose a Custom installation to select which secondary
languages and features you want installed to your PC.
Note: If you select a Complete or a PC5250 User
installation, no secondary languages will be installed by
default. In this case, you can specify what secondary
languages to install with the CWBADDSECLANG property from
the command line, as explained below.
4. Complete the wizard.
During an upgrade:
1. Map a drive to the System i QIBM sharepoint
(\\NetServerName\QIBM).
2. Double-click QIBM > ProdData > Access > Windows >
cwblaunch.exe to start the setup program.
3. Choose a Custom installation. If you had the secondary
language installed in the previous version, the language
will appear selected under the Languages node. You can
select which secondary languages and features you want to
add or remove.
4. Complete the wizard.
Note: If you have secondary languages and the .NET Data
Provider installed in the previous version, you must:
1. Use Selective Setup to uninstall the .NET Data Provider
prior to starting the upgrade.
Upgrading .NET Data Provider secondary languages is not
supported by System i Access for Windows V6R1M0.
2. Run cwblaunch.exe to start the upgrade as described above.
To install a secondary language after System i Access for
Windows has been installed:
1. Map a drive to the System i QIBM sharepoint
(\\NetServerName\QIBM)
2. Double-click QIBM > ProdData > Access > Windows >
cwblaunch.exe to start the setup program.
3. If your local installation is at an older service level
than the level on the System i, the installation program
will be launched in service pack mode. At this time you
will not be able to add secondary languages yet. Complete
the service pack wizard, then re-run cwblaunch.exe as
pointed out in the next step.
4. Run cwblaunch.exe from QIBM > ProdData > Access > Windows
to start the maintenance wizard.
5. Choose Modify to select which secondary languages you want
installed on your PC.
6. Complete the wizard.
To install a secondary language from the V6R1M0 System i Access
for Windows DVD
Since the V6R1M0 System i Access for Windows DVD was shipped
without secondary language support, you first must install
System i Access for Windows from the DVD, then download service
pack SI31390 or later from the System i Access for Windows web
site and install it on the PC, then re-run the installation
from the DVD in order to install secondary languages.
1. Install the System i Access for Windows DVD by running
Windows > cwblaunch.exe.
2. Download the latest service pack from the System i Access
for Windows web site at
www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/access/windows/casp.html
Note: Make sure to download the service pack version that
is right for your computer's processor architecture.
3. Launch the service pack download on your PC in order to
upgrade System i Access for Windows to the new service
level.
4. From your DVD, double click Windows > cwblaunch.exe to
start the maintenance wizard.
5. Choose Modify to select which secondary languages you want
installed on your PC.
6. Complete the wizard.
Using CWBADDSECLANG to add secondary languages
A new public property named CWBADDSECLANG is available to
specify secondary languages from the command line. This is
particularly useful for unattended installations.
Note that your local installation of System i Access for
Windows V6R1M0 must be at service level SI31390 or greater.
Otherwise, the CWBADDSECLANG property will be ignored. If
System i Access for Windows is not yet installed, then your
source installation image must be at service level SI31390 or
greater. If you are installing from the System i Access for
Windows V6R1M0 DVD then, after installing the DVD, you must
download and install service pack SI31390 or later from the
System i Access for Windows web site prior to use
CWBADDSECLANG.
To specify secondary languages at the command line:
1. Open a command prompt window.
2. Change directories to your installation image:
- If you are installing from a System i, change directories
to QIBM > ProdData > Access > Windows.
- If you are installing from DVD, change directories to the
Windows folder.
3. Type in the following command:
cwblaunch /v"CWBADDSECLANG=mri29xx,mri29yy,..."
Where mri29xx, mri29yy, etc. are the NLV codes of the
languages that you want installed
Note: a list of 29xx NLV codes is available in the IBM
i5/OS information web site at
publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/i5os/index.jsp
Search for "National language version feature codes".
4. To install secondary languages silently, type in the
following command:
cwblaunch /s /v"/qb CWBADDSECLANG=mri29xx,mri29yy,..."
5. To install all languages available on your installation
image, specify CWBADDSECLANG=ALL.
6. Complete the wizard.
To install a secondary language from a custom DVD
You can burn a DVD out from the updated image residing on your
System i, and distribute this custom DVD to your users so they
can install secondary languages from the DVD without needing to
download the service pack from the web.
1. Apply System i Access for Windows PTF SI31390 or later on
your System i.
2. Map a drive to the System i QIBM sharepoint
(\\NetServerName\QIBM).
3. Burn the contents of QIBM > ProdData > Access > Windows to
your DVD.
Note: The three images under the Windows folder might not
fit on a single DVD. In that case, you can burn just the
image that is needed by your users -i.e. Image32, Image64a
or Image64i.
4. Instruct your users to run cwblaunch.exe from the custom DVD
in order to install secondary languages.
The procedure is identical to the steps described under the
section 'To install a secondary language from a System i'
above.
After you have installed the secondary language, use System i
Access for Windows Properties to select the language you want
to use.
Notes:
- You must run cwblaunch.exe or setup.exe in order to
install secondary languages. You cannot install secondary
languages from the Add or Remove Programs panel; in that
case, the Languages node will not be available.
