Setting the Language of Messages on Managed Nodes
Managed-node processes determine the language of HPOM messages by
the locale you have set. For example, if you want these processes to
generate Japanese messages, you must set the locale and language
variable accordingly before you call opcagt -start.
NOTE
HPOM generates only English and Japanese internal HPOM messages
on the managed nodes. If you have templates in any other language,
ensure that the HPOM agents use the English message catalogs.
To Set the Language of Messages on a Managed Node
To set the language of messages on a managed node, follow these steps:
1. Set the locale for the HPOM agents in the system startup script.
For example, on HP-UX 11.x, use the system startup script
/etc/rc.config.d/opcagt.
2. Set START_LANG to the locale in which you want the HPOM agent to
start.
3. Restart the agents.
Locations of System Resource Files Adapted by HPOM
For the location of the system resource files adapted by HPOM on all
supported agent platforms, refer to the HPOM HTTPS Agent Concepts
and Configuration Guide.
Synchronizing Commands with the Character Set of the HPOM
Agent
The output of HPOM agent commands (for example, opcagt -status) is
in the internal character set of the agent. For this reason, when the
locale of the terminal window in which you execute the command is
different from the internal character set of the agent, the output is not
readable. If the agent has the internal EUC character set, use an EUC
terminal window.
