Running your Unicode server

You can run your Unicode client on Windows or UNIX.

Running a client from the command line on Windows

Use the --unicode flag when you invoke any of the following programs:

• arcache
• archgid
• archgsel
• ardisabled
• arhelp
• arl10nmenu
• arlabel
• artext
• arworkflow
• fbupdate

For an example, see arlabel.txt (online documentation for the arlabel utility) in the Unsupported folder where  is installed.

Running a Unicode client from the command line on UNIX

To run a Unicode client from the command line, you must:

• Set the locale by using either of the following methods:
  • Set the LC_ALL and LANG environment variables to a value produced by the locale -a command.
  • Set the locale in your .profile file (sh/bash users) or .cshrc file (csh/tcsh users).
     The client uses the values you set in the Shell script. Of the locales listed,  supports those ending in UTF-8 (for Solaris and AIX) and utf8 (for HPUX and Linux).
     See your UNIX documentation for information about how to set your locale settings.
• Make sure that the dynamic libraries for  7. x are available by adding the ARSystemServerInstallDir/server/bin directory to your dynamic library path with the appropriate environment variable:
  • LIBPATH on AIX
  • SHLIB_PATH on HP-UX
  • LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Solaris and Linux
     For example, on Solaris, enter:
    $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/bmc/ARSystem/server/bin; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

To simplify the process, if you are running on the UNIX system where the  is installed, you can use the arsystem env command:
$ <ARSystemInstallationDirectory>/server/bin/arsystem env <commandName> <arguments>

This automatically sets the dynamic library path and locale variables to the same values that the  uses.
