Location of the Message Database Files

Localized message databases are located in a subdirectory under the locale directory. This subdirectory is named after the corresponding language and the encoding method used. The subdirectory name has the following format:

<ll_TT.encoding>

For example, on a Unix® system, the French message database files are found in the subdirectory fr_Fr.ISO-8859-1 under the locale directory. See Server Locale Names for more information on the Server locale naming conventions from which the subdirectory name is derived.

On Unix Systems

French message database files can be found in the following directories:

<$ILSHOME>/data/locale/fr_FR.ISO-8859-1/logfile.dbm

<$ILSHOME>/data/locale/fr_FR.ISO-8859-1/util.dbm

<$ILSHOME>/data/inform/locale/fr_FR.ISO-8859-1/mvsw.dbm

<$ILSHOME>/data/inform/locale/fr_FR.ISO-8859-1/mvstudio.dbm

On Windows Systems

French message database files can be found in the following directories:

<$ILSHOME>/data/locale/fr_FR.windows-1252/logfile.dbm

<$ILSHOME>/data/locale/fr_FR.windows-1252/util.dbm

<$ILSHOME>/data/inform/locale/fr_FR.windows-1252/mvsw.dbm

<$ILSHOME>/data/inform/locale/fr_FR.windows-1252/mvstudio.dbm

Note

The C locale (that is, the Server locale en_US), which is considered the standard, is an exception to the above mentioned rule. Server .dbm files are located in the directory of the library that uses them. For example, util.dbm, can be found in the directory:

<$ILSHOME>/data/util.dbm

You do not need to create the en_US.US-ASCII directory. Server will automatically fall back to the regular data directory.
