Locale file changes - Not reflected in SAS

helannivas88 — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 16:37:16 GMT

Hi,

We have made changes in locale file in all the SAS server from en_US.UTF-8 to en_GB.iso885915". And when ever if we issue locale command in SSH ,it display en_GB.iso885915. But when we login to SAS EG and issue X command with locale , its still pointing to en_US.UTF-8.

Whether any services has to be restarted to reflect this changes in SAS.?? Thanks in advance

EG uses a workspace server. You find the configuration in Lev1/SASApp in your configuration tree. SASApp will affect the whole application server, Lev1/SASApp/WorkspaceServer only the WS.

Thanks Kurt for your reply.

Yes , sasv9_usermods.cfg already defined the locale en_GB. But still we are facing the issue

Hello @helannivas88,

SAS do manage those environment variables with the -LOCALE and -ENCODING variables.

You would need to add to your sasv9_usermods files the

-LOCALE en_GB

-ENCODING latin9 (as correspondent for your ISO value).

Once this is done, every new workspace server session should include the new encoding. Otherwise, just refresh the Object Spawner.

@helannivas88,

Just add this line:

export LANG=en_GB.iso885915

to WorkspaceServer_usermods.sh
