When performing centralized management using the Japanese version of CS, you must execute SWDTP_config.exe to change the encoding format of I/O files to UTF-8.
Data may not display properly on PCs running Windows versions older than Windows Server 2008 R2/Windows 7 in which the language pack for the data to be displayed on the screen has not been installed.
To use JIS2004 on Windows Server 2003, you must install JIS2004-compliant fonts.
The Japanese version of the power consumption report outputs power consumption fees in Japanese yen, and includes CTs of sites outside Japan.
Messages are notified to CTs regardless of the language used on the CTs. Therefore, specify messages that users of the global version of CT can handle, such as English only or English and Japanese.
When specifying messages or distributing software for older versions of CTs, only use characters that can be handled by the older versions.
When the target CT is the Japanese version, use characters that can be converted into Shift-JIS. However, if operating CS on a non-Japanese operating system, use ASCII only.
When the target CT is the global version, use ASCII only.
If you continue using a software dictionary used in older versions, the CT security patch application window or software download window may display garbled software names. Therefore, promptly apply the software dictionary for V15.1.0 after upgrading.
If you were using the English version of the software dictionary in an older version, the following notes apply to security patches of Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 or earlier operating systems, and Office 2003 or earlier that are to be applied in older version:
If you apply the V15.1.0 software dictionary, an application error window may be displayed due to attempts to apply security patches for the English environment that were registered in older versions on CTs of the Japanese environment.
In the Security Patches Distribution window under the main menu, clear selection of the application check for security patches for use in Japanese environments, and instead select the application check for English environments. If you want to apply security patches to a Japanese environment, select the application check for security patches for use in Japanese environments again, and register the security patches again.
If you apply the V15.1.0 software dictionary, the application checks for security patches for use in Japanese language environments will be cleared in the Policy Group Management > Patch Installation Policy window under the main menu, and the security patches will not be applied.
In the main menu, select the Policy Group Management > Patch Installation Policy window, and clear the application check for security patches that will not be applied to English environments. If the security patches are to be applied to Japanese environments, select the application check.
If you apply the V15.1.0 software dictionary, the application checks will be selected for security patches for use in Japanese environments instead of English environments in the Settings of Software Auditing under the main menu.
In the Settings of Software Auditing window under the main menu, select the audit check for security patches for use in English environments. If you do not require an audit of security patches for Japanese environments, clear selection of the audit check. When you collect inventory information that uses a software dictionary for which the check was selected again, the correct audit result will be displayed in the main menu.
When the Japanese version of AC is used to connect with the global version of CS, the file format of device information files or contract information files used in the Collective Registration/Modification for Asset Information feature will always be UTF-8.
Note the following regarding collection when the Japanese or global version of CS is used for centralized management:
A device migrated to the collection destination CS is regarded as a new device for history information collection.
The power consumption auditing reports output power consumption information up to 32 days before CT migration for the migrated PC as past operation information.
User information item names are aligned with those in CS that performs centralized management.
Values specified for user information in the environment setup window of CT in the existing environment are deleted from environments in which the item names are changed. The user information of the CT environment setup window must be specified again after constructing the centralized management environment.
