The "Step 2: Copying the Connector Files and External Code" section specifies the destination directory into which you must copy the resource bundle files during the deployment procedure.
The "Step 3: Configuring the Oracle Identity Manager Server" section describes the procedure to change to the required input locale and to clear content related to connector resource bundles from the server cache.
A new IT resource parameter has been added to carry language code information to the target system. This parameter is described in the "Defining IT Resources" section.
Changes have been made in the procedure described in the "Running Test Cases" section to accommodate the multilanguage support feature.
