For IBM i OS operating system

Creating a user profile

You need to create a user profile on your IBM i system before you install WebSphere Commerce. The user profile is needed during the installation process. To create a user profile, perform the following steps in an IBM i command-line window.

Procedure

  1. Type the command CRTUSRPRF and press F4 for a prompt.
  2. Complete the necessary parameters, ensuring that USRCLS is set to *SECOFR and SPCAUT is set to *USRCLS for this profile. Press Enter to create the user profile.
    Create the IBM i user profile with the following localized settings:

    Korean 933 KOR KR

    Simplified Chinese 935 CHS CN

    Russian 1025 RUS RU
    Polish 870 PLK PL
  3. Use the DSPUSRPRF command to determine the name of your home directory, HOMEDIR. Your HOMEDIR is the file path home/user_profile where user_profile is your user profile on the system. Ensure that the HOMEDIR directory exists on your IBM i system. If the HOMEDIR directory does not exist, create it using the command MKDIR.
    The HOMEDIR must contain a file named SystemDefault.properties, with a coded character set ID of 819 and containing ASCII data. This file must specify the file.encoding property that matches your IBM i user profile. The file.encoding property is case-sensitive, must be specified on one line, and contains no spaces. The file.encoding property can be one of the following values:
    • Simplified Chinese: file.encoding=Cp1381
    • Korean: file.encoding=KSC5601
    • Traditional Chinese: file.encoding=Cp950
    • Japanese: file.encoding=SJIS
    • All other languages: file.encoding=ISO8859_1
    Create the SystemDefault.properties file.
    1. On a PC, using a text editor, create a file named SYSDFT.FILE
    2. In this file, enter the appropriate file.encoding line for your language. For example: file.encoding=ISO8859_1
    3. Save this file and copy it to your IBM i system in the /QIBM directory.
    4. From an IBM i command line, type: 
      COPY OBJ('/QIBM/SYSDFT.FILE')
     TOOBJ('/home_directory/SystemDefault.properties')
     TOCCSID(819)
      where home_directory is the HOMEDIR.
    5. Ensure that the newly created file contains the correct ASCII data.
