IC69058: WORKSPACES MAY INCORRECTLY DISPLAY THE PERCENTAGES WHEN DB2, TSM AND SYSTEM ARE IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Workspaces in Monitoring and Reporting may incorrectly display
  percentages.
  For instance, Tape Volume workspace may show used and unused
  capacity as 1000 and 9000 instead of 10 and 90 respectively.
  Affected workspaces are those that contain locale-sensitive
  characters such as commas or decimals in values.
  The issue is that DB2 (which runs with the same language as the
  operating system) and TSM are not the same language.
  Any SQL query ran from dsmadmc will show locale-sensitive
  results in the operating system language instead of the TSM
  server language.
  Initial Impact: Low
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  6.x TSM servers in use with Monitoring and Reporting 6.x
  Additional Keywords:
  TSM ITM RM R&M percentages language zz61 zz62
  comma period
  

Local fix

• Change the language of TSM, DB2 and/or the operating system so
  they run in the same language.
