HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Technical Reference Guide

This configuration file is globalsettings.props and is located on the following operating
systems:
• On Windows
C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config\
globalsettings.props.
• On HP-UX and Linux
/etc/opt/mx/config/globalsettings.props.
CMS locale
By default, the CMS Locale is determined by the environment. On an HP-UX CMS, it looks for
"LANG=" in "/etc/rc.config.d/LANG" and uses that setting. On a Linux CMS, it looks for
"LANG=" in "/etc/sysconfig/i18n" and "/etc/sysconfig/language" and uses
that setting. On a Windows CMS, it uses the default locale setting of the Java™ Virtual Machine,
which is based on the locale setting of the user account used to install HP SIM.
If the locale used by the CMS is not the desired locale, you can manually edit
globalsettings.props and add a line, such as CMSLocale=en_US, or whatever locale you
want to override the CMS locale.
Target locale
For HP SIM, the character map encoding for a locale might be different for each target operating
system and each language. To enable HP SIM to select the encoding to use for each target system
(for SSA tools) or each execution system (for MSA tools, usually the CMS), HP has defined the
format of some properties you can add to the globalsettings.props file. These properties
provide the character map encoding to use for each language on each operating system, what
Code Page code to use for each language on a Windows target and execution system, and the
string that defines that encoding in the LANG environment variable on a Linux or HP-UX system.
Also, some properties define what to use for unsupported languages on each operating system.
The format of the property names are:
"TargetCharacterMapEncoding_" + language + "_" + os_name + "=" + encoding
"TargetCodePage_" + language or encoding + "_" + os_name + "=" +
code page number "TargetLangEncoding" + encoding + "_" + os_name +
"=" + encoding string
where language is the two-character code for a language, os_name is the uppercase keyword
for the supported operating system (for example, LINUX, HPUX, WINNT), and encoding is the
canonical name for character map encoding for that language on the operating system. The
supported names can be found in column 2 of the web page http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/
docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html.
The entries appear similar to the following:
TargetCharacterMapEncoding_ja_LINUX=EUC_JP
TargetCharacterMapEncoding_??_LINUX=ISO8859_1-
TargetCharacterMapEncoding_ja_HPUX=SJIS
TargetCharacterMapEncoding_??_HPUX=ISO8859_1
TargetCharacterMapEncoding_ja_WINNT=SJIS
TargetCharacterMapEncoding_??_WINNT=ISO8859_1
TargetCodePage_ja_WINNT=932
TargetCodePage_??_WINNT=437
