Loading Multilingual Data
In Windchill Service Information Manager 10.2 M022 CPS10, 10.2 M032 CPS05, or 11.0 F000 CPS05, translated objects such as PDF, IEXML, and Graphics files have two timestamps: one timestamp for the translation, and one timestamp for the source or authoring language. This allows the bundles to be loaded in any order, regardless of locale.
In Servigistics InService, a new multilingual property named multilingual.bundle.with.source.timestamp.support is introduced to facilitate the loading of the multilingual bundles in any order, regardless of locale, for full or incremental data loading.
To take advantage of this feature, you must use bundles generated from Windchill Service Information Manager 10.2 M022 CPS10, 10.2 M032 CPS05, or 11.0 F000 CPS05, and make sure the value of the multilingual.bundle.with.source.timestamp.support property is set to TRUE (the default value for the property in Servigistics InService 6.3 M001 and later).
If the property is set to FALSE, then the system behaves as it did for Servigistics InService 6.2. In this case, bundles must be loaded with the following restrictions, regardless of the Windchill Service Information Manager version used to generate the bundles:
• The authoring language bundles must be loaded first, before any translated bundles are loaded.
• The update or incremental translated multilingual bundles must be loaded with the same translation timestamp value as the most recently loaded authoring language.
Additionally, a new property named multilingual.bundle.cleanup.stale.authoring.language.data determines whether authoring language information elements are deleted while loading incremental bundles from a different locale with a more recent authoring timestamp. If the property is set to TRUE (the default value for the property in Servigistics InService 6.3 F000), then existing authoring language information elements are deleted. If the property is set to FALSE, the authoring language information elements are retained, though they are not current.
The multilingual.bundle.cleanup.stale.authoring.language.data property is honored by the system only when the multilingual.bundle.with.source.timestamp.support property is set to TRUE.
Both properties are found in the TAL.properties file, in the following location: <INSERVICE>/Applications/DataProcess/Config/Common/Templates/TAL
