Installing language pack on a Windows computer

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 begin

First, make sure that you installed the external Cloud Pak System Software Agent in the English language. Also ensure that Java Runtime Environment version 1.5 or above is installed and set in the system path.

About this task

Install a language pack on any system where you have installed either the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server or the Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop client.

Procedure

  1. On the language pack CD, double-click the lpinstaller.bat file to start the installation program.
    Attention: If you would like to use console mode instead, open the command prompt window, navigate to the language pack CD directory and then enter the following command to start the installation process:
    lpinstaller.bat candle_home -i console
    where candle_home is the IBM®Tivoli® Monitoring base directory.
    Important: Should you choose to proceed in console mode, note that for the rest of these instructions, options are selected by entering numbers corresponding to the options in the console as opposed to clicks of your mouse.
  2. Select the language of the installer and click OK.
  3. In the Introduction panel, click Next
  4. Click Add/Update and click Next.
  5. Select the folder where the National Language Support package (NLSPackage) files are located. Typically, the NLSPackage files are located in the nlspackage folder where the installer executable file is located.
  6. Select the language support for the agent of your choice and click Next. In this case select Monitoring Agent for Cloud Pak System. You can make multiple selections, by pressing Ctrl and selecting the language that you want.
  7. Select the languages that you want to install and click Next.
  8. Examine the installation summary page and click Next to begin installation.
  9. After installation completes, click Finish to exit the installer.
  10. Restart the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Eclipse Help Server.
