Adding secondary languages to the product after the initial deployment

If your company expands and you need to make the product available to users in more languages, you can add languages after the initial deployment of the product.

About this task

The languages that you specify are only available when you stop the application server, rebuild and redeploy the application EAR files, and restart the application server.

Procedure

  1. Log on to an account with system administration privileges on the computer where you want product components to be installed. The default installation directories are C:\IBM\SMP for Windows and /opt/IBM/SMP for Linux or UNIX.
  2. From the root directory of the installation image, follow the instructions for the operating system.
    Option Description

  3. Go to the Additional language selection window.
  4. Select the check box for the secondary languages that you want to add, and click Next.
  5. Optional: To make the secondary languages available immediately, you must stop the application server, complete the steps, and rebuild and redeploy the application EAR files. If you plan to update other products, you can stop the application server later and manually deploy the application EAR files.
