The Information Server Launchpad Web Page is not localised

Question & Answer


Question

We use the launchpad page, http:/ /server:<port>/ibm/iis/launchpad to access Information Server tools, many of these are localised, however the launchpad page remains in English. Is it possible to customise the messages?

Cause

The launchpad page has not been globalised/localised, it will not display messages dependent on the client locale setting.

Answer

Whilst the page has not been globalised/localised it is possible to configure certain messages and url's such that is possible to display another language.

 


If you got to InformationServer/ASBServer/bin and issue the command to below display all keys concerning the launchpad and these can be used to customise to launchpad web page. Here I will customised some but not all, you will have to do the rest, I used google to the translations and make no claim for them to be correct.

To display keys

./iisAdmin.sh -d -k com.ibm.iis.launchpad.*

To set keys

./iisAdmin.sh -s -k -value <value>

From the display command some of the values

com.ibm.iis.launchpad.welcome=Welcome to IBM InfoSphere Information Server
com.ibm.iis.launchpad.infocenter.help.name=IBM InfoSphere Information Server documentation
com.ibm.iis.launchpad.infocenter.help.text=The documentation for the InfoSphere Information Server product modules and components is in IBM Knowledge Center.
com.ibm.iis.launchpad.infocenter.help.url=http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZJPZ_11.5.0
com.ibm.iis.launchpad.help.more=Learn more...

You can change these using

./iisAdmin.sh -s -k com.ibm.iis.launchpad.welcome -value "Bienvenue dans IBM InfoSphere Information Server"
./iisAdmin.sh -s -k com.ibm.iis.launchpad.infocenter.help.name -value "Documentation IBM InfoSphere Information Server"
./iisAdmin.sh -s -k com.ibm.iis.launchpad.infocenter.help.url -value https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/fr/SSZJPZ
./iisAdmin.sh -s -k com.ibm.iis.launchpad.infocenter.help.text -value "La documentation des modules et des composants du produit InfoSphere Information Server se trouve dans IBM Knowledge Center."
./iisAdmin.sh -s -k com.ibm.iis.launchpad.help.more -value "Apprendre encore plus..."

Stop and start the Websphere Application Server.
