Central site distribution of primary and secondary language files

Start of changeYou can use central site distribution to distribute primary language files and secondary language files.End of change

Primary language files

The primary language is the language that is installed on the system as the default language used to display and print information. The IBM® licensed program distribution media contains the primary language files. The distribution media you create at the central system copies the primary language files so you can install them at your target systems.

Secondary language files

The distribution of secondary language files is more complicated than that of primary language files. Secondary language files are saved to the distribution media as described in Checklist: Create central site distribution media and are restored at the target systems using the user-defined installation program as described in Installation tasks for the target systems.
