IBM Integration Bus, Version 9.0.0.8 Operating Systems: AIX, HP-Itanium, Linux, Solaris, Windows, z/OS

See information about the latest product version

Changing your locale on z/OS

You can change your system locale on z/OS®. If you want to change your system locale on z/OS, set the LANG, LC_ALL, and NLSPATH variables.

See Installation information - broker for further information.

The locale is set in the broker profile (BIPBPROF) and you must run BIPGEN to create the broker ENVFILE and any integration server specific ENVFILE.

You can use the UNIX System Services (USS) executable locale to show your current locale. The command locale -a displays all the locales currently installed on the computer. Refer to the operating system documentation for information about adding new locales. If you add a new locale after you have installed IBM® Integration Bus, install that locale's message catalogs from the original install media.

You can set IBM Integration Bus to operate with a specific code page. Set the code page after a period in the LANG and LC_ALL variable. This example sets the locale to En_us and the code page to IBM-1140 (EBCDIC En_us with euro):

LANG=En_us.IBM-1140
LC_ALL=En_us.IBM-1140

Make sure that the selected code page is one of the Supported code pages. If the code page is not in the list, either use a code page that is in the list, or generate a new code page converter.

TZ Time zone

For full time zone support in the broker, set the TZ variable using the full POSIX notation. For example set TZ to:

GMT0BST,M3.5.0/1,M10.5.0/2 for the UK
CET-1CEST,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3 for Central Europe
EST5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2 for USA Eastern Standard Time
