Configuring non-English network view names

You can choose to display the default network view names in any supported language. You must configure which language you want them to appear in.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that your NCIM database supports the character set used by your desired language.
  2. Open the directory $NMGUI_HOME/profile/etc/tnm/autoprovision/ .
  3. Back up the default.xml file to a different location. (Network Manager attempts to create network views based on all files ending in .xml in the autoprovision directory.)
    Tip: Files that end in .processed are ignored by Network Manager. If the Network Manager GUI has been started at least once, the default.xml file is named default.xml.processed.
  4. Edit the default.xml or default.xml.processed file.
  5. Locate the <dynamicViewTemplate> tag and add the appropriate language and country attributes for your desired language.

    The following example specifies that network view names are displayed in Traditional Chinese:

    <autoProvision domain="*" accessLevel="user" accessId="itnmadmin">
            <dynamicViewTemplate id="ip_default" language="zh" country="TW"/>
    </autoProvision>
  6. Save the file.
    • If the file is called default.xml, save it over the previous version.
    • If the file is called default.xml.processed, save it as default.xml.
      Note: If you do not save the file so that it ends with a .xml extension, it is not processed by Network Manager and your views are not created.
    All default network views owned by the itnmadmin user are now displayed in the chosen language. If you have previously accessed the network views, there are now two sets of network views: the original English views and a copy of these views named in your chosen language.
  7. Optional: Log in to the network views as the itnmadmin user and delete the original English views.
  8. Optional: Edit the itnmuser.xml file in the same way to configure the names of default network views owned by the itnmuser user.
