l10n_purge_translations
Purges the property translations on instances of a given business object. This utility is typically used to clean up the instances of a business object whose property was once marked as localizable with the Localizable property constant in the Business Modeler IDE. For more information, see Localization process in the Business Modeler IDE in Localization using the Business Modeler IDE. For example, if you add the Localization button to a property by setting the Localizable property constant to true, and then later decide to remove the button by setting the constant to false, you must run the l10n_purge_translations utility to remove translations that were entered using the Localization button on that property. The utility must be executed after the Business Modeler IDE template is deployed. The l10n_purge_translations utility is necessary only if the Localizable constant on a property is moved or deleted from one level, but still exists at another level of the hierarchy. For example, if the Localizable property constant is set to false on a property on a business object, and there are no sub-business objects that need to be set to true, then the utility does not need to be executed. The Business Modeler IDE deploy automatically drops all instances of the Localization button translations on the changed property. Syntax l10n_purge_translations [-u=user-id {-p=password | -pf=password-file} -g=group] -properties=business-object:property -file=file-containing-list-of-properties-to-be-purged -purge_lot_size=number -log=file-name [-h] Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. This is a user with Teamcenter administration privileges. Note If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the user and password arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than being authenticated against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. -p Specifies the user's password. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -pf argument. -pf Specifies the password file. For more information about managing password files, see Manage password files. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -p argument. -g Specifies the group associated with the user. If used without a value, the user's default group is assumed. -properties Specifies properties to be purged. The format of the property is business-object:property, for example, Item:object_name. Multiple business object/property combinations can be supplied as a comma-separated string. -file Specifies the file to read the business-object:property to be purged. Each line must contain a business object/property combination. -purge_lot_size Specifies the batch size of instances to be loaded for purging. The default value is 10000. -log Specifies the file name to report any failures. The default is the TC_TMP_DIR/l10n_purge_translations_date.log. If the TC_TMP_DIR environment variable is not set, the log file is created in the /tmp or %TEMP% directory. -h Displays help for this utility. Environment As specified in Setting up a Teamcenter command-line environment. Files As specified in Log files produced by Teamcenter. Restrictions None. Related Topics Teamcenter Localization
