Guidelines for Working with Zman
5
Follow these guidelines as you work with the zman command line utility of Novell
Configuration Management:
If an XML file that is exported by using the zman commands such as
contains diacritic or extended ASCII characters such as ñ,ë, and Ä, you must
policy-create
open the file in an editor using the UTF-8 encoding. If you make any changes to the file, you
must save it the UTF-8 format.
If you want to redirect the output of a command containing extended ASCII characters to a file
on Windows*, you must not use the command line redirection operator (>), because the code
page of an MS-DOS* prompt is different from the code page used to write to files on most
locales.
For example, in case of Western European languages like English, French, German, and
Spanish, the code page of the DOS prompt is cp437 or cp850, but the rest of the Windows
operating system uses cp1252.
To redirect the output to a file and correctly retain the extended ASCII characters, use the
global option.
-Redirect
While connecting to Linux Servers from a Windows machine by using clients like PuTTY, set
the character set used for translation to UTF-8. This ensures proper translation of characters
other than standard ASCII characters.
To set the character set for translation to UTF-8 in PuTTY:
1. Open the PuTTY client.
2. In the PuTTY Configuration window, click Windows > Translation.
3. In the Received Data Assumed to be in Which Character Set drop-down list, select UTF-8.
NOTE: You do not need to do this if the input to the command or its output contains only the a-
z or A-Z characters.
By default, zman uses the default locale of the server. You can have zman use a specific
language:
On Windows, specify the appropriate user language and file encoding as a value for the
JVM_STARTUP_OPTIONS property in
ZENworks_Installation_directory\Novell\ZENworks\conf\zman
\properties\zman-config.properties
For example, to run zman in English, set the value of
Duser.language=en -Dfile.encoding=cp850
page of the command prompt to
On Linux, edit
-Duser.language=<language> after /opt/novell/zenworks/lib/java/bin/
.
java
For example, to run zman in English, change the zman script file as follows:
/opt/novell/zenworks/lib/java/bin/java -Duser.language=en -
Djava.library.path="${LD_LIB_PATH}" .....
by using the
cp850
/opt/novell/zenworks/bin/zman
bundle-create
.
JVM_STARTUP_OPTIONS
. After editing the file, change the code
command.
