Solaris Resource Manager 1.3 Release Notes

Dependency on iconv (4204219)

The Solaris operating environment uses the iconv utility to convert characters from one code set to another. For the AnswerBook2 server to properly respond to requests from clients in non-English locales (such as European or Asian locales), you must have the iconv packages installed on the server's system. These iconv packages must be installed before you install the AnswerBook2 server software packages:

SUNWciu8Simplified Chinese iconv modules for UTF-8
SUNWhiu8Traditional Chinese iconv modules for UTF-8
SUNWjiu8Japanese iconv modules for UTF-8
SUNWjiu8jJapanese Java iconv modules for UTF-8
SUNWtiu8Thai iconv modules for UTF-8
SUNWuiu8Generic iconv modules for UTF-8

If all the iconv packages are not installed, you will see a "dependency" warning when you install the SUNWab2u package. Also, the Library page for this server will not display properly (collection titles may be strung together with no book titles displayed). In addition, users might see an Internal Server Plugin Error/TCL script exception error.

The solution is to install the iconv packages before you install the AnswerBook2 server software packages. If you install the AnswerBook2 packages first, you will have to remove and reinstall them after you install the iconv packages.

For Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7, the iconv packages are available on the Solaris Software CD. Note that the iconv packages are part of the Developer System Support cluster, which can be a different system cluster from what is installed on your system (for example, you might have installed the End User System Support cluster on your system).
