Configuring tasks for English support on Japanese UNIX

For Control-M components to communicate properly with each other, you must set the locale for all product components to the same value. Complete this task on every computer or UNIX account, that support Japanese, that runs components of the following products:

• Control-M/EM
• Control-M
• Reporting facility
• Control-M/Server
• Control-M/Agent
• BMC Batch Impact Manager
• Control-M Application Plug Ins

To configure tasks for English support on Japanese UNIX:

1. 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. Check that C, c, POSIX, or an English locale (according to the following table) is displayed. If none of these locales is displayed, ask your UNIX administrator to install it.

   ISO English-character-set locale settings for UNIX and Linux (for Japanese operating systems)

   Language	AIX, Solaris, Compaq (OSF)	HP-UX, Linux (Red Hat)	Linux (SuSE)
   English (USA)	en_US.ISO8859-1	en_US.iso88591	en_US
   English (British)	en_GB.ISO8859-1	en_GB.iso88591	en_GB

2. Set the following values in the .cshrc file. If necessary, add lines for these environment variables.

   Add the lines in the same order as the environment variables are listed in the following table.

   UNIX environment variables for English on Japanese systems in .cshrc

   Environment variable	Description / value
   LC_ALL	This environment variable should be "" (an empty string). Set this variable by adding the following line to the .cshrc file: setenv LC_ALL ""
   LC_CTYPE LANG LC_COLLATE LC_MESSAGES	These environment variables should be C (or c, as defined on the computer). Note: If the C (or c) locale is not present, you can use POSIX or one of the English locales that appear in the previous table. Set these variables by adding the following lines to the .cshrc file: setenv LC_CTYPE C setenv LANG C setenv LC_COLLATE C setenv LC_MESSAGES C

3. Run the source ~/.cshrc command to apply the new settings to the environment.
