Objective

To build a Java message file containing all the information that is displayed in IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows.

Background information

You can build a Java message file containing all the information that is displayed in IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows. This is useful if you want to translate your text information into other languages. The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder is designed to generate resource model packages that contain all the strings for the English Locale, therefore DBCS characters are not supported. All localized strings should be handled separately from the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder.

The recommended way to work is to export the English version of the message catalog and Java message catalog, then translate them into the desired language, compile them using Gencat tool (included in the Application Development Environment), and finally install them manually in the message bundle on the Tivoli management environment server.

NLS Note

Before compiling DBCS message catalogs (such as Japanese) with Gencat, you must convert the original files into UTF8 files issuing the following Framework command:

wiconv

Before you begin

Test the resource model, as described in Running a resource model.

When you finish

None

Procedure

You can perform this procedure from the command line interface or the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder.

Command line

Use the expjmsgcat command to package a Java message file. For more information about the expjmsgcat command, see expjmsgcat.
