Localizing Lookup Table

A lookup table is a reference table that contains a list of supported values for a column in a base object table. You can localize the lookup tables in any language you want. To localize the lookup tables, create a properties file with the localized values, and then import the localized file into the database.

Go to the following directory:

<MDM Installation Directory>/app/tsr/lookuplocalization/resources

Save a copy of the

lookup.properties

file with the language code and country code for the language you want to use.

For example, to create the Canadian French version, save the file as

Lookup_fr_CA.properties

In a text editor, open the localized file you create.

For each lookup table value, add the localized value in the following format:

Save the file.

Go to the following directory:

<MDM Installation Directory>/server/lib

Copy the following files:

log4j-1.2.16.jar

ojdbc7.jar

. If you use Oracle database.

db2jcc.jar

. If you use IBM DB2 database.

sqljdbc4.jar

. If you use Microsoft SQL Server database.

Paste the copied files into the following directory:

<MDM Installation Directory>/app/tsr/lookuplocalization/lib

Open a command prompt, and go to the following directory:

<MDM Installation Directory>/app/tsr/lookuplocalization/bin

Run the following command:
