East Asian (CJK) Language Support Configuration

The CJK language set includes support for the following languages:

  • Traditional Chinese

  • Simplified Chinese

  • Japanese

  • Korean

To set up your environment to support the CJK language set, you must configure and synchronize all the computer systems and databases before configuring the language settings for the following Control-M components:

  • Agent

  • Control-M/EM

  • Control-M/Server

  • Control-M Reports

  • Control-M for AFT

Control-M/EM can communicate in English with earlier versions of Control-M/Server and with Control-M for z/OS\® installations that do not handle CJK characters. This communication is possible because the Gateway detects the type and version of the connected Control-M/Servers (and other Control-M installations such as z/OS) and translates the data accordingly.

Setting the Code Page for CJK Support on Windows

This procedure describes how to set the code page for CJK support on Windows. This must be done before you install Control-M.

Update the locale to the same value on every computer running Windows that runs the following components:

  • Control-M/EM

  • Control-M/Server

  • Agent

  • Control-M Application Plug-Ins

Begin

  1. From a command line, type chcp <codePage>, where <codePage> can be one of the following values:

    • 932: ANSI/OEM, Japanese Shift-JIS

    • 936: ANSI/OEM, Simplified Chinese GBK

    • 949: ANSI/OEM, Korean

    • 950: ANSI/OEM, Traditional Chinese Big5

      chcp 932.

      If the code page is invalid, contact your system Administrator to install the required code page.

      For Control-M components to communicate properly with each other, you must set the locale for all product components to the same value. Discrepancies between locale settings can corrupt data while data is passed from one component to another.

  2. Ensure that the corresponding code page is selected on the list of Code Page Conversion Tables.

Setting the Locale Environment on UNIX or Linux

This procedure describes how to set the locale environment on a UNIX and Linux machine. This should be done on computers that runs components of the following products:

  • Control-M/EM

  • Control-M/Server

  • Agent

  • Control-M Application Plug-Ins

Begin

  • Ensure that the required language locale is present on the computer.

    Use the same language locale for all affected computers. Discrepancies between locale settings, especially those involving different character sets, can corrupt data as it passes between components.

    1. To get a list of locales available on your computer, enter the locale -a command.

    2. Confirm that the list includes the required locale as described in CJK character set locale settings for UNIX and Linux. If the required locale is missing, ask your UNIX administrator to install it.

  • When configuring Agent on operating systems not listed in the following table, use the locale setting for the operating system that corresponds to the one selected for ControlM/EM and Control-M/Server. Contact your UNIX administrator for additional assistance.

Configuring CJK Support for Jobs Submitted on Remote Hosts

This procedure describes how to configure CJK support for jobs submitted on a Remote Host.

Begin

  1. Configure the Remote Host with Agents that are set to the required encoding as defined in Agent Language Encodings Available through ctmunixcfg and Agent Language Encodings Available through ctmwincfg.

  2. Select Remote Hosts according to the encoding available on either Windows or UNIX platforms. Windows CJK encoding is available only on Agents installed on Windows. Similarly, UNIX CJK encoding is available only on Agents installed on UNIX.

Configuring Language Support on Agent

This procedure describes how to configure language support for CJK on the Agent.

Begin

  1. From the command-prompt window, run the ctmagcfg command-line utility.

  2. Select 7 Advanced Parameters.

  3. Select 7 Foreign Language Support and then select CJK.

  4. Set the encoding that the Agent uses to run jobs.

  5. Ensure that the required language locale or code page is present on the computer, as described in CJK Locale Settings for Operating Systems Jobs. On UNIX, you can use the locale -a command to list the information.

  6. Ensure that the environment of the owner responsible for running jobs is set to the correct locale.

  7. Use the appropriate command-line utility to set the language encoding for jobs that the Agent runs.

  8. From UNIX, run the ctmunixcfg command-line utility, and set the CJK Encoding parameter to one of the language encodings, as listed in Agent Language Encodings Available through ctmunixcfg. The Agent assumes that all jobs run in the same user-defined locale.

  9. From Windows, run the ctmwincfg command-line utility and set the CJK Encoding parameter to one of the available language encodings, as listed in Agent Language Encodings Available through ctmwincfg.

  10. Restart the Agent.
