Set Up Target Environments

A target environment should be set up for each end user, language, or site. Typically, a target environment is a language as shown in the following illustration. However, if two sites that speak the same language required different translations (for example, Paris and Brussels), two environments should be set up.

Note: If you are using CA 2E Translator 4.0, there is no need to set up an environment for the original development language. CA 2E Translator is shipped with this environment set up but hidden, and all objects that were stored in the org library are now stored in the trndtalib library.

Target environments reside either on the development IBM i or on another IBM i. An environment is either local or remote depending on whether it is on the same IBM i as you. Therefore, an environment on the development box is local to the development box, while an environment on a remote box is remote to the development box, but local to the users of that remote box.

Many target environments can be defined. Note that a single remote machine may have several target environments (for example, when two offices are sharing a machine).

If a local target environment is added after initial set up, Translator creates a set of entries in each dictionary for it by copying the original (org) entries. This may take some time. To add a remote target environment, first add it as local - this will create the required entries. Then use the procedure described in the Remote Site Translation section to move it to the remote machine.

To move an environment from local to remote or back again, see Moving TEs between Local and Remote in the chapter "Remote Site Management."
