Harvest Solaris Agent Error - Cannot Find SCDCTMSG.cat file

Products

• CA Harvest Software Change Manager

Issue/Introduction

Installed the Harvest Solaris agent by running the script ./INSTALL.sh configure_rtserver=false.

Receive a warning that it cannot find the SCDCTMSG.cat file

Installation continues to complete and the agent starts correctly.

Does this missing file affect the agent's functionality?

Environment

Harvest 14.5

Solaris

Resolution

Gencat is a command-line tool that generates a message catalog file from a source file. It is commonly used in manipulating message catalog files, which are used for internationalization (i18n) to store translated strings. so ideally it should take pec/locale/en_US/SCDCTMSG.TXT and generate SCDCTMSG.cat file.

The error is likely a result of Gencat not being installed on the Solaris system.

You can install Gencat with the following command:

pkg install gettext

If you do not want to install Gencat, or there are errors with the Gencat install, there is no need to worry.

You can safely ignore the error as it does not impact the functionality of the Harvest 14.5 agent installed on the Solaris machine.

Additional Information

Based on internal testing, there are no known consequences in regards to the Harvest Agent functionality by ignoring the error message.
