  • 1.  IBM ODM Rule designer upgrade from 8.9.2 to 8.10 or 8.11

    Is IBM ODM rule designer plugin directly available for download/install from eclipse community?

    While I was working with versions older than 8.9.2, the licensed version was available via IBM package itself which is to be downloaded from IBM provided link after purchase.

    Has the licensing changed?

    I have tried the instructions to install IBM ODM 8.10.x from eclipse community and was able to successful integrate the plugin into eclipse.

    1. My concern was in regard to license and usage - could not find a clear instructions anywhere
    2. though the installation was successful, am unable to change locale - how to configure different location (updating the locale to required language in configuration file does not work)

    Can someone help me to get a good understanding on these, thanks in advance

    Hello,

    there is a distinction to make between using ODM (full product, with entitlements) and the free ODM for Developers (for dev/ eval). 

    For the full product, please use the Eclipse plugins that come with the full installer, along with the corresponding Eclipse version (different between 8.9.x, 8.10.x and 8.11.x)

    When we installed 8.11 using the full installer from IBM when it first came out, unlike 8.10.x, the installer prompts asking the path of an existing Eclipse installation. Did this behavior change in the latest version?

    I'm also interested in what @Avinash Chebrolu asked about how to change the locale after it is installed - i.e. I have this question, too - especially switching between languages like en_GB to en_US.

    Starting with ODM 8.11, Eclipse and Java JDK are no more included in ODM installation files. See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/odm/8.11.1?topic=manager-software-requirements

    To set the locale for Rule Designer, please see: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/odm/8.11.1?topic=designer-opening-rule-in-specific-locale

    Hi Antony Viaud,

    Thank you very much for your reply. I could not follow-up on the posts.

    About the locale configuration through eclipse configuration file - I did give it a try while doing the initial set-up and it did not work, have introduced -nl nl_NL and still eclipse loads in English. Also gave a try to run eclipse via command line with language argument and that did not work as well.

    It helps if you could provide some guidance or drive through information that elaborates on difference between full installer and that of eclipse community

    Hi Avinash

    With regard to  locale configuration through eclipse configuration file, you are missing the -clean flag.

    For example I have the default en_US installed and this works for me when I want to work in fr_FR:

    C:\Software\IBM\ODM8103\eclipse.exe -clean -nl fr_FR -init -perspective ilog.rules.studio.ui.perspectives.RuleEditingPerspective

    In fact I set up all my Rule Designers in different locales as short-cuts in my menu:

    You can also configure your eclipse.ini file for other settings, but make sure you add name value pairs on a separate line

    -vm
    jdk/jre/bin
    -startup
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.4.0.v20161219-1356.jar
    --launcher.library
    plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.551.v20171108-1834
    -install
    C:/Software/IBM/ODM8103
    --launcher.XXMaxPermSize
    128m
    -vmargs
    -Xmx1024m
    -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false
    -Xargencoding:utf8
    -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

    Hope this helps.
