Environment:

Operating System: AIX version 5.3

Hardware Platform: pseries p550

Problem:

The AIX version 5.3 operating system is installed on the p550 machine. applications developed by Java cannot display Chinese characters normally. This should be set separately for the AIX Chinese environment.

Solution:

There are two ways to use Chinese in Aix: the first method is to select a Chinese language when installing Aix, and the installed operating system automatically displays Chinese (this method is not recommended ). The second method is to select English when installing AIX and manually set the Chinese environment after the system starts. The method is as follows:

1. Place the first installation disc of the AIX system into the optical drive.

2. Run the command: # Smit

-> System environments

-> Manager language environment

-> Change/show primary language environment

-> Change/show Cultural Convention, language, or keyboard

Move the cursor to the following fields in the subsequent menu:

Primary Cultural Convention

Primary Language Translation

Primary keyboard

Press, select "IBM-euccn" from the pop-up menu to change the above field to simplified Chinese. Press the Enter key and the system will automatically install the Chinese environment package from the disc.

3. Restart the operating system. The operation interface is simplified Chinese.

4. Now the AIX system is a Chinese environment, but not all users and applications in the application need a Chinese environment. Therefore, the main language environment of the operating system is set to English, set users and applications that require a Chinese environment to Chinese.

5. Run the command: # Smit

-> Systemenvironments

-> Manager language environment

-> Change/show primary language environment

-> Change/show Cultural Convention, language, or keyboard

Move the cursor to the following fields in the subsequent menu:

Primary Cultural Convention

Primary Language Translation

Primary keyboard

Press and select ISO8859-1 from the pop-up menu to change the above field to the default setting)

Restart the operating system. The system operation interface is in English. Now the system supports Chinese characters.
