Setup and Control of Locale Variables
The locale information is controlled in bothWindchill PDMLink and distribution target at the user level. TheWindchill ESI business logic does not translate language, date, or currency. In theWindchill ESI business logic, textual elements are not hard-coded; instead, they are stored outside the source code and retrieved dynamically.
The following describes how the locale information is controlled betweenWindchill PDMLink and EAI components and between EAI components and the distribution target.
Locale Communication Between EAI Components and Oracle Applications
Information on the locale and language of the data being sent from EAI software components to Oracle is communicated through the following:
The global variable ESIOMA/Locale, which is set when configuring the TIBCO adapters for deployment. The default value is U.S. English (en_US). For more information see Global Variable Groups.
