Installation guide

Localization Overview
44 Software Release Notice
English is always installed to provide backup to the language you select. No more than
two languages can be installed–English and one non-English language. In this scenario,
the non-English language is the primary language and English is the backup. A
non-English language cannot be the backup.
EvFormat and PCause files are installed in $SPECROOT/SG-Support. English-only
installations should see no directory structural difference from previous releases of CA
Spectrum. When a non-English language is installed, the EvFormat and PCause files are
installed in $SPECROOT/SG-Support/zh_TW (for example) and the English files are
installed in $SPECROOT/SG-Support. If the non-English version of an EvFormat or PCause
file cannot be found, the English version is used instead.
Customizations in $SPECROOT/custom follow the same structural configuration.
The suffixes for all EvFormat and PCause file names consist of ISO country and language
codes. The following table identifies the supported languages, their suffixes, and sample
directory files.

Rule of Localization Homogeneity
The Rule of Localization Homogeneity states that all components in a distributed CA
Spectrum installation must run on servers that use the same operating system Locale.
Think of CA Spectrum as one application running with one language, rather than as a set
of distributed services potentially running different languages.
By following the Rule of Localization Homogeneity, you ensure that all access and
modification of data through different communication paths use one consistent
language. Otherwise, myriad languages can be stored in the CA Spectrum database. The
multiple languages cause problems with such data issues as display, fonts, searching,
and sorting.
We recommend that you set the Locale on the servers that run CA Spectrum processes
before you install CA Spectrum. Such servers include the Location server, Processd,
SpectroSERVERs, OneClick servers, clients, and the Secure Domain Manager.
