Defining a locale

Content Manager OnDemand requires the specification of a locale for each Common Server instance, in order to ensure that your data has the correct language identifier associated with it during the archive process. The steps outlined below must be performed for each Content Manager OnDemand instance before the server for that instance can be started. Even if you are running a U.S. English system, you must still perform these steps.

IBM® ships a number of locale objects (object type *LOCALE) in library QSYS. Others are provided as source code that must be created using the CRTLOCALE command. If the locale you require must be created from source code, you must install option 21 of IBM i (Extended NLS Support; a product option of 5770-SS1), which contains all the IBM-supplied locale source files. If you need a locale that is not supplied by IBM (no source or object), you will have to copy and modify an existing locale to meet your needs. Assistance in doing this can be obtained from the IBM support organization in your geography.
