Adding language packs on z/OS

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.

1. Mount the product file system for the product which is being installed.

2. 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

3. 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.
4. Unmount the product file system and remount it read-only for use by WebSphere Application Server nodes and servers.
