How to Configure the Asian System Environment
Configuring IMS
Chapter 2 17
Manual Start Up
It is useful to start IMS manually, if you use Asian Input Method on your
C locale desktop. You can execute dtimsstart as follows on your
command line.
eval ‘/usr/dt/bin/dtimsstart -env‘
IMPORTANT The quotation mark of this line must be a left single quotation mark, and
NOT apostrophe-quote.
NOTE Normally, dtimsstart shows messages and labels in Asian languages. If
you want to see the messages and labels in English, set the environment
variables to change to the C locale.
eval ‘NLSPATH=/usr/dt/lib/nls/msg/C/%N.cat \
XENVIRONMENT=/usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtimsstart dtimsstart -env‘
NOTE Your LANG variable must be set to the appropriate Asian locale in order
for dtimsstart to work. After starting dtimmstart manually, it will only
be active on applications launched in that locale.
Selection of the Input Method
•For Japanese locales (ja_JP.SJIS, ja_JP.eucJP, ja_JP.kana8,
ja_JP.utf8)
dtimsstart displays the selection window as shown below. By
selecting one of the listed IMSs and clicking the
OK button,
dtimsstart will start the selected IMS. For other operations on this
window, selecting the
Help button gives more explanation. The last
selection (showing up in Japanese) means “No Japanese Input”.
