IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Install language packs

Language support for products for which application support is provided with IBM Tivoli Monitoring appears on the following media.

The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Language Support DVDs contain the national language versions of the help and presentation files for the components and agents shipped with IBM Tivoli Monitoring.

The IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers, Tivoli Authorization Policy Server, and Tivoli Authorization Policy Command-Line Interface include language support with the base installation image. There is no separate Language pack for those components.

The Tivoli Monitoring self-describing agent feature integrates the installation of an agent with the dispersal and installation of associated product support files throughout the IBM Tivoli Monitoring infrastructure. Language Pack installation is not supported for products installed using self-describing agent capability. For these products you must install language packs manually, using the steps described in this section.

Install the language packs on any system where you have installed the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or where you have installed a desktop client. (If you download and run a desktop client using Web Start, you do not need to install the language packs on the local system. They are downloaded from the portal server.) Before you can install a language pack, install the component in English.

Before installing a language pack, first install the component in English. Also ensure that Java Runtime Environment version 1.5 or above is installed and set in the system path. Perform the following steps to install a language pack on any system where you have installed either the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server or the Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop client:

  1. In the directory where you extracted the language pack installation image, launch the installation program as follows:

    • Double-click the lpinstaller.bat file.

    • Run the following command: 

        ./lpinstaller.sh -c install_dir

      where:

      install_dir

      is the directory where you installed IBM Tivoli Monitoring (usually /opt/IBM/ITM).
      To perform a console installation on Linux or UNIX (instead of a GUI installation), add the -i console parameter to the above command.

  2. Select the language you want installed, and click OK.

  3. On the Introduction panel, click Next.

  4. On the Select Action Set panel, click Add/Update, and click Next.

  5. Select the folder in which the Language Support package files (win*.jar and unix*.jar) are located, and click Next. The default folder is the directory where the installer is launched.

  6. Select the languages that you want to install, and click Next.

    For multiple selections, hold down the Ctrl key.

  7. Review the installation summary, and, if correct, click Next.

    The installation's progress is displayed.

  8. On the Post Install Message panel, click Next.

  9. Click Done once the installation is complete.

  10. Reconfigure and restart the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and the Eclipse Help Server. See below.

After installing a Tivoli Monitoring Language Pack, reconfigure the portal server and the desktop client using either the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services utility or the itmcmd config command.

Use one of the following methods to reconfigure the affected components:
