swinstall eliminate foreign dialects on installation

[Dan Ryan]

HI,

I've just install MQ Series on our HP11.0 server, using swinstall. There was a lot of foreing lanquage data installed, that I don't need. Is there some way to tell swinstall to install only the English?

Thanks for you your help.

Hi dan,

was your command line....

swinstall -s /depot_location \*

Those last two characters install everything in the depot.

If you did and have this trouble your problem is not there.

Try this.

Language files are either on the Core OS or Application CD's(trapped in bed by Nurse Ratchet, can't check).

Take a look at those and install the appropriate language files.

Not familiar with your application, but a look at prerequesite apps and patches might not be a bad idea.

For those that aren't familiar, MQ-Series is an IBM middleware product that takes care of messaging between different servers, mainframes etc.

If you use the 'swinstall' interactive program there could be a way of not selecting the extra native language components (if part of the standard product offering). If you've selected the whole product as suggested by Steven, then yes, language components would also be installed. I'd suggest you use the 'swremove' program (again interactively with no options) and attempt to remove these components. The OS also loads stacks of different languages as well, so be aware that MQ may see these as a default. You can also remove native languages sets from the OS as well using 'swremove'. Make sure that you create an ignite (make_tape_recovery) tape before doing any OS software changes.

Thanks for your help. I used swremove to delete all the the foreign languages.
