Changing locale to en_US.ISO8859-1 on Solaris/Linux running SAP

My query is for SAP Web AS 7.0 J2EE system on Solaris/Linux. Default locale setting at Solaris/Linux is UTF-8. If I change the locale setting to en_US.ISO8859-1, will the SAP system and it’s components‘ functionality be affected? Or will it continue to work as with UTF-8?

when the localeadm command is run for the first time, it will try to create a config file. This config file contains a list of locales and their locations in Solaris CDs/DVD.
Here is a sample of its content:
#                 Solaris 10, Northern America partial locales
# ( en_CA, en_CA.ISO8859-1, en_US, en_US.ISO8859-1, en_US.ISO8859-15,
#  en_US.ISO8859-15, fr_CA, fr_CA.ISO8859-1 )
locname N_America nam en_CA en_US es_MX fr_CA en_US.UTF-8 es fr
SUNW5ttf        nam     solaris1
SUNWale nam     solaris1
SUNWaled        nam     solaris5
SUNWcttf        nam     solaris1
SUNWebrg        nam     langcd1
SUNWedcl        nam     langcd1
SUNWedhcm       nam     langcd1
SUNWefdl        nam     langcd1
SUNWeladm       nam     langcd1
SUNWelvma       nam     langcd1
SUNWelvmg       nam     langcd1
SUNWemcon       nam     langcd1
...You can run localeadm -C (Uppercase C) to create the config file. Just follow the instruction. If you are installing it from CD, solaris1 means Solaris 10 CD1, solaris2 means Solaris 10 CD2, and so on.
Once the config file has been created, then you execute the command you entered previously localeadm -a en_US.UTF-8 -d /cdrom/cdrom0. en_US.UTF-8 is part of North America region and Solaris 10 installs all locales under nam (North America).
Verify your installation by locale -a. It should return en_US.UTF-8 in the list.
Hope this helps.
BTW, the config file (Locale_config_S10.txt) is located under /usr/sadm/lib/localeadm/

  • How can I change locale dinamically by script?

    Hi everybody!
    I need a piece of code like this:
    var land = *some_kind_of_input*;
    switch (land) {
      case "GB":
        xfa.localeSet.name = "en_GB";
        break;
      case "US":
        xfa.localeSet.name = "en_US";
        break;
      default:
        xfa.localeSet.name = "it_IT";
        break;
    but this isn't working :-(
    i think that xfa.localeSet.name = "en_US" isn't the right way to change locale... any other idea?
    the fact is that some numeric fields display grouping and decimal separated in the wrong way.
    thanks in advance

    Try some thing like this..
    TextField1.locale = "en_US";
    Thanks

    While the steps below are fine for Word (and I gather that Excel, Powerpoint have similar steps), what
    about Project 2007?  We have Project 2007 SP3, and (a) it doesn't have an Office Button like the core Office 2007 products, and (b) the SharePoint Local Drafts folder isn't listed in the Save options.  Please advise!
    -Joe
    Hi,
    You can change the location of your local drafts folder where your files are placed while they are
    checked out to you in Office system program: click “Microsoft Office Button”>select “Word Options”>select “Save”>in
    Offline editing options for document management server files> in Server drafts location
    box, type the location on your hard disk where you want to work with checked-out files, or click
    Browse and find the location.

  • What's the best way to create and change local workstation account details?

    Hi,
    I need to change local password of an account on a number of our domain based machines. Or create the user if it doesn't exist.
    We have over 200 machines so this will need to be done as a bulk job.
    I've looked into doing this by GPO Preferences, but it appears that MS have removed this functionality with a hotfix.
    What's the best way of doing this now, as I would have through that this is a feature that most organisations would require.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I understand you. However, based on my understanding, from the standpoint of security, Microsoft has chosen to deprecate this function, for it’s not secure to set passwords
    in Group Policy Preferences.
    The following article sheds more light on this topic and can be referred to for more information.

  • Change Local Currency For Company

    Dear Expert
    I Want to change local currency for company that already have a data.
    So From 1996 - 2010 that company used local currency SGD. Now 2011 will be change to USD.
    all previous data no need to change.
    Can I just change local currency in T-code UCWB?
    Thanks

    Yes all previous data will remain the same and only the opening balances and onward have the new local currency.
    Make the master data change as well as including the translation method in the balance carry forward task in the configuration (UCWB) before it is executed. This will cause the balance carry forward to translate the old LC to the new LC for the opening balances.

  • Can CR 2008(build off Multilingual Universe) change locale as WebI does?

    Description of Problem:    
        An OEM Customer wants to know if Crystal Report 2008, which is built off Multilingual Universe, could change locale on User-Locale switch(for example, switch Infoview/IE locale).
        In BOE XI R3, Universe can maintain multilingual info, so that the front-end WebI can change locale automatically. This feature works fine for WebIs, however it doesn't seemt to work for CR 2008 when the report is built off a multilingual Universe.
        Is there any idea how to utilize the Universe feature in CR2008?

  • Defaults file - Change en_GB to en_US

    I recently installed CS5 Design Premium on my computer. I also purchased InDesign Classroom in a Book to guide me through learning the software.
    Before starting to use the lessons the book advises that I make a backup copy of the InDesign Defaults file and gives the directions on how to locate this file. I followed the directions, but when I got to the file, the name didn't match exactly. It was supposed to be en_US. However, on my computer I have en_GB. Did I install this software in too much haste and select English-Great Britain instead of English-US, or is the problem bigger than this? What must I do to correct this?

    Yes. This is the first problem I have encountered (apart from not knowing what I'm doing), and I wouldn't have noticed it except for the need to copy this file so I can avoid messing it up as I use the learning guide, Classroom in a Book. I opened InDesign again to look for an example of the word "colors" and found it spelled "colours" as in the Brittish version.

  • 2012R2 VDI how to change "local virtual desktop creation location" for collection

    Hi,
    I want to change "local virtual desktop creation location" for existing collection but this setting is grayed. This location is not exists anymore and I cannot add new VM's to collection.
    If there is no way to do this if it possible to create new collection and move old VM's there?
    Thanks!

    Hi Sergey,
    I assume that you mean virtual desktop storage location, which I don’t think that we can change this setting for an existing collection.
    You can create a new collection, during the creation process, you will be able to select a different storage location for new VMs.

  • Accessing Solaris 7 running CDE through NAT...

    I have Solaris 7 running on 192.168.0.103 of my internal network. I have a cable modem and box running on it. I've forwarded UDP port 177 for XDMCP and TCP port 6000 to the Solaris machine. I get the machine info from my Exceed v6.0 chooser but after that, nothing happens. Anyone have any input on any other ports to map. I haven't tried sunrpc TCP port 111 yet though.
    Roger

    hope this helps.
    what i did was....
    i created a directory /pub/bin
    in that directory i have a executable shell script named netscape
    in netscape
    ------File Contents ---------
    #!/bin/sh
    /usr/dt/appconfig/SUNWns/netscape
    ------End of File -------------
    change the permission, 777 on file "netscape".
    if you want, u can modify the permission or apply acl if you want - but that's really redundant.
    basically, in your .profile file add :
    PATH=/pub/bin/:$PATH
    export PATH
    or else.

    English (UK variety) is the fifth one from the top. US variety English is the sixth one
    Select your choice and click on OK
    There will be an additional piece of text under the menu now; it simply tells you that you need to close and re-open iTunes for the language change to take effect.
