Configure PPM Server for MLU Support

If both your PPM Server and ALM server are using a language other than English, you need to perform some extra configuration tasks to enable proper display of project quality related information in OpenText PPM.

  1. Make sure that the IntegrationResources_<Language_Code>.properties file is present in the <PPM_HOME>\WEB-INF\resources\web\ directory.

    The IntegrationResources_<Language_Code>.properties file is a localized version of the IntegrationResources.properties file, for example, IntegrationResources_fr.properties. It is present in the <PPM_HOME>\WEB-INF\resources\web\ directory if you have applied the OpenText PPM language pack for your language.

    For a list of supported languages and the corresponding language codes, see the System Requirements and Compatibility Matrix.

  2. Modify the <PPM_Home>/conf/QCKPI.conf file.

    1. Stop the PPM Server.

    2. Open the <PPM_Home>/conf/QCKPI.conf file in a text editor.

    3. Copy the following content and paste it to the end of the file:

      #Test
      test.passed=Passed
      #Requirement
      requirement.notCovered=Not Covered
      requirement.na=N/A
      requirement.passed=Passed
      requirement.reviewed=Reviewed
      #Defect
      defect.priority=4-Very High,5-Urgent
      defect.new=New
      defect.open=Open
      defect.closed=Closed
    4. Modify the content you just pasted by

      1. Adding the ALM server name you specified in step 4 as prefix to each parameter, and

      2. Changing each parameter value to the target language, as follows:

        #Test
        <QC/ALM Server Name>.test.passed=<Translation of "Passed">
        #Requirement
        <QC/ALM Server Name>.requirement.notCovered=<Translation of "Not Covered">
        <QC/ALM Server Name>.requirement.na=N/A
        <QC/ALM Server Name>.requirement.passed=<Translation of "Passed">
        <QC/ALM Server Name>.requirement.reviewed=<Translation of "Reviewed">
        #Defect
        <QC/ALM Server Name>.defect.priority=<Translation of "4-Very High,5-Urgent">
        <QC/ALM Server Name>.defect.new=<Translation of "New">
        <QC/ALM Server Name>.defect.open=<Translation of "Open">
        <QC/ALM Server Name>.defect.closed=<Translation of "Closed">

        For example, if you want to configure Simplified Chinese language support, and the ALM server name you specified in step 4 is ALMServer4PPM, modify the newly pasted section to the following:

    5. Save the file in Unicode format.

      Caution: Make sure you save the file in Unicode format. Otherwise you may encounter errors.

    6. Restart the PPM Server.
