HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Technical Reference Guide

the preferred language of the web browser. Also, tools and tasks executed interactively through
the CMS have the same language as the language the tool command line is executed with on the
target system. This enables your web browser to run tools, create scheduled tasks, and manually
run scheduled tasks in the preferred language. Likewise, the language setting of your command
shell is forwarded through the mxexec and mxtask command line commands to set the language
for executing a tool, manually executing a task, or creating a scheduled task when the command
line for the tool is executed on the target systems.
The CMS has another locale independent from any user session the CMS Locale. Some features
inherit this locale, such as logging files and e-mail messages sent by Automatic Event Handling,
which are neutral from any session.
Setting the web browser language or locale
When you configure your web browser and select the language you prefer, the HP SIM GUI
displays the date and time in the language requested by the browser, although the overall HP SIM
GUI appears in English or Japanese. The browser locale also sets the language and encoding in
the Secure Shell (SSH) command shell in which the tool command executes. The browser locale is
saved on a scheduled task when it is created and used to set the language and encoding on the
target system for SSA tools and on the execution system for MSA tools. When you manually execute
a task, the current browser locale overrides the locale set in the scheduled task for this single
manual execution of the task (for SSA and MSA tools).

Japanese. After you have completed these steps, install HP SIM and it will run in Japanese language
mode. For more information about installing HP SIM, see the HP SIM installation guides located
at http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs, and then select the appropriate guide
