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 9.0. The following instructions assume that the
repository is mounted at /InstallationManager/repo/was.repo.9000.zOS.zip. 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 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.v90
-installationDirectory /InstallationManager/products/WebSphere/AppServer/V9R0
-properties cic.selector.nl=de,,zh
-repositories /InstallationManager/repo/was.repo.9000.zOS.zip
-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.
