Appendix A Program Internationalization : Using Japanese Characters

Using Japanese Characters
The information in this section applies to configurations using Japanese characters on Microsoft Windows platforms.
Japanese Characters in Agents and Repositories
When TIBCO Hawk Display runs on an English machine, it cannot discover or display agents and repositories that have data containing Japanese characters. Therefore, if you have a mixed environment of Japanese and non-Japanese machines, you must run TIBCO Hawk Display on a Japanese machine. This allows TIBCO Hawk Display to see all the machines and the repositories.
It is recommended that the UTF-8 encoding be used throughout in this type of mixed environment.
Japanese Characters in External Variables File
If your external variables file contains Japanese characters, you must use the included native2ascii utility to convert the file before starting the agent.
The native2ascii utility is in the JDK bin directory. The utility is not available in the JRE.
To convert the external variables file:
1.
2.
Run the native2ascii utility, providing the input file and output file as arguments. For example, to convert an external variables file named abc.var to xyz.var, type:
     native2ascii abc.var xyz.var
3.
Before starting the agent, specify xyz.var as a value to the -variables option in the Agent's configuration file.
