Docker Container with different NLS Locale Definition (like DEUW)
Hi,
I have a problem when starting the docker container that the collation is standard US
sample:
docker run --name iris1 -d --publish 1972:1972 --publish 52773:52773 containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/iris-community:2022.1.0.209.0 --check-caps false
After the installation I like to import existing classes and globals but it failed due to an collation error
We usually use DEUW = German3
if I change it manually - in the management portal / NLS... - to DEUW it works fine. (By the way.... the managemet portal shows all in German due to the Linux version)
Question: is there a way to predefine/automate the NLS Local on installation?
Product version: IRIS 2022.1
Hi @Ditmar Tybussek
Raw containers from ISC are always just US versions. (aka. international)
If you use Dockfile you have all freedom to condition YOUR container according to your needs.
MgmtPortal: this is a good old CSP feature that looks for the primary language of your browser
and translates your pages to DE if available.
Docker itself seems to have no idea about your environment.
%SYS.NLS.Locale is the class to achieve this.
though it's not so funny
seems to be wrapper around ^%NLS and ^%SYS.NLS
To install locale, execute during docker build:
set sc = ##class(Config.NLS.Locales).Install("deuw")
