Setting Month Name Abbreviations to Non-English Text

Use

If you are running the strategy management application in a non-English language, the application displays month name abbreviations in English when displaying charts, dashboard panels, and some report headings. The month name abbreviations are read from the Application Server message database.

You must follow the steps in this section to set the month name abbreviations to the appropriate language.

Procedure

  1. Confirm that no one is connected to Application Server.

  2. Do one of the following, depending on your platform:

    • On Microsoft Windows, stop the SAP SM Listener. Display the Task Manager and make sure there are no lsstcp.exe processes.

    • On Unix/Linux, run the tldstop script to stop the listener daemon. Issue the following command and make sure there are no active connections:

      ps -eaf grep lsstcp

  3. Start an Application Server session, and log on as admin or another user with supervisor privileges.

  4. Run one of the procedures put down by the downloaded files. Enter the command:

    job 'setup_cal_<xx>.pro'

    <xx> is the 2-letter designation for the desired language. For example, enter de for German or es for Spanish.

    Case is significant on Unix/Linux so the procedure names must be entered in lower case.

  5. Do one of the following, depending on your platform:

    • On Microsoft Windows, restart the SAP SM Listener.

    • On Unix/Linux, run the tldgo script to restart the SAP SM Listener.
