Setting the Language of Messages on Managed Nodes
Managed-node processes determine the language of OVO 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 OVO generates only English and Japanese internal OVO messages on
the managed nodes. If you have templates in any other language, ensure
that the OVO agents use the English message catalogs.
To Set the Language of Messages on a Managed Node
To set the language of messages on a NCS- or DCE-based managed node,
follow these steps:
1. Set the locale for the OVO 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 OVO agent to
start.
3. Restart the agents.
Locations of System Resource Files Adapted by OVO
For the location of the system resource files adapted by OVO on all
supported agent platforms, see the OVO DCE Agent Concepts and
Configuration Guide.
Synchronizing Commands with the Character Set of the OVO
Agent
The output of OVO 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.
