  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Customers using Java Foundation in IDS with Latvian locale   *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Customer creates a database with Latvian locale              *
  * (lv_lv.1257), and tries to install a Java UDR, then IDS Java *
  * VP aborts because of missing locale.                         *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Upgrade to IDS 11.50.xC9 or later.                           *

Problem conclusion

• The JDBC jar file that was being distributed with IDS, was not
  including support for Latvian locale (lv_lv.1257), even though
  the Java runtime environment does support it. Problem was fixed
  by mapping the Latvian locale lv_lv.1257 to the appropriate Java
  locale, in the distributed JDBC jar files (jdbc.jar, and
  jdbc_g.jar).
  
  Fixed in IDS 11.50.xC9.
