Generate the Target Resource Files

IBM® Cognos® User Interface and Error String Customization Toolkit generates the target resource files containing the customized text.

The target resource files are generated in a format that can be used by the product. They are also automatically compressed using the ZIP utility. The Package_File variable specifies the name and location of the compressed file (.zip). When you later copy the target resource files, you can also use your own packaging utility to compress the files.

Before you begin

The target directory is automatically created in the location that you specified for the Target_Directory variable. If the validation process fails, the target directory is not created. The structure of the target directory is identical to the structure of the product installation directory.

You must have already validated the files.

Procedure

Generate the target resource files.

For Windows operating systems do the following:
1. From the Start menu, click Programs, IBM Cognos 10, Administration, Generate.
For UNIX or Linux operating systems, do the following:
1. Open a command line and go to the location where Cognos UI and Error String Customization Toolkit is installed.
2. Type //installation_location/bin>localize.sh generate

The processing may take a few minutes. After it is finished, you can copy the target resource files to the product installation directory.
