Troubleshooting
Problem
IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz) CICS SM perspective displays titles in the machine's OS language instead of the IDz installed language of English.
Symptom
Titles in the CICS SM perspective do not display in English, although English was the only language installed for IDz.
Cause
When CICS Explorer is installed with IDz, IDz uses the language of the OS on the machine to display titles.
There is no option during the installation of the CICS Explorer to install a specific language.
There is no option during the installation of the CICS Explorer to install a specific language.
Diagnosing The Problem
IDz was installed in English on a non-English Windows operating system.
Resolving The Problem
This problem can be resolved by using either of the two methods listed below.
Method 1: Add the Eclipse runtime option of -nl en_US or -nl en_UK in the shortcut for IDz.
Below is an example of how to add it to the shortcut:
- Right click the shortcut.
- Select the Shortcut tab.
- Add the -nl option in the target so that the target looks like the example below:
C:\Program Files\IBM\Developer for zOS\eclipse.exe -nl en_US -product com.ibm.rational.developer.systemz.product.ide
- Open Windows Explorer to the product's installation directory, such as
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\SDP - Edit the eclipse.ini.
- Add the line -nl en_US before the line with the -vmargs option.
- Save and close the file.
Below is an example of what the eclipse.ini file would look like:
-vm jdk/jre/bin/javaw.exe -startup plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar --launcher.library plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.200.v20120913-144807 -install C:/Program Files (x86)/IBM/RDzv9 -nl en_US -vmargs -Xquickstart -Xms40m -Xmx1024m -Xmnx64m -Xgcpolicy:gencon -Xscmx96m -Xshareclasses:name=IBMSDP_%u -Xnolinenumbers -XX:MaxPermSize=512M
