ITO Language Support
Language Support on the Management Server
Language Support on the Management
Server
On the management server, localization considerations impact:
❏ The language used for displaying the status messages of the ITO
server and managed nodes in the ITO Motif GUI.
❏ The character set used for internal processing.
Language of Messages on Management Server
When the ITO server processes are started, for example, with ovstart
ovacomm and ovstart opc , the currently set locale is evaluated and the
related message catalog is selected for use. This usually takes place
during system boot, with
ovstart being issued by:
/sbin/init.d/ov500
At this point, the LANG variable is set to C or not yet set.
If you require the ITO server processes to send their status messages in
a different (supported) language, set LANG before
ovstart ovacomm is
called.
Internal Processing Character Set on
Management Server
ITO supports the Oracle database character sets:
❏ WE8ISO8859P1
❏ JA16SJIS
WE8ISO8859P1 is an 8-bit character set which corresponds to
ISO8859-1 and supports most Western European languages. The Shift
-JIS character set is used for the Japanese environment only.
The database character set is set during the ITO installation and
determines the internal processing character set of the management
server. The database and the ITO management server must have the
same internal character set so that they are able to process data
correctly and to minimize character set conversions during runtime. The
