Customizing Resource Bundles on WebSphere and WebLogic Application Servers

Procedure

  1. Extract the resource bundles from ECM.ear/ECMClasses.jar/com/tibco/mdm/properties to a directory $MQ_HOME/custom/resources/com/tibco/mdm/properties.

    The following resource bundles are extracted depending on the software edition: 

    • gdsn/htmlresources.properties
gdsn/jsresources.properties
gdsn/SharedDBStringResources.properties
gdsn/SharedStringResources.properties
gdsn/UserText.properties
mdm/htmlresources.properties
mdm/jsresources.properties
mdm/SharedDBStringResources.properties
mdm/SharedStringResources.properties
mdm/UserText.properties

      Ignore the resource bundles suffixed with _NoTrans.properties. These files contain text that must not be translated.

  2. To customize the specific text of a specific resource bundle:
    1. Remove all the other resource bundles.
    2. Rename the resource bundle with a prefix 'Custom'.
    3. Edit custom resource bundle file. Retain only the keys for which value/text need to be customized. Remove all other keys.
  3. Add $MQ_HOME/custom/resources to the CLASSPATH of application server startup script.
    • For WebLogic application server: add $MQ_HOME/custom/resources to the CLASSPATH in environment file or the application server startup script.
    • For WebSphere application server:
      1. Log in to the Administrative console of WebSphere Application Server.
      2. In the left panel, expand Servers > Server Typesand click WebSphere application servers. The Application servers panel is displayed on the right.
      3. Under Preferences, click servername. For example, server1. The Configuration tab is displayed.
      4. Under Server Infrastructure, expand Java and Process Management and click the Process definition link. The Configuration tab is displayed.
      5. Under Additional Properties, click the Java Virtual Machine link. The Configuration tab is displayed.
      6. In the Classpath field, enter $MQ_HOME/custom/resources.
  4. Click OK.
    A message is displayed with the Save and Review options.
  5. Click the Save link to save changes to the master configuration.
