NLS button in Administrator greyed out
Guys,
I was wondering if anyone has seen this problem before?
When I sign in to Administrator the NLS button is greyed out so I can't change the project default NLS setting.
I have checked the credentials in SuiteAdmin and I am set up as DS and QS Administrator.
I can change the job default NLS setting in designer, but it would obviously be better to change the project rather than each job.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob.

here is the trick
here is the trick , if you've done all the abobve , and check uvconfig and found that NLS is set to 1 , but still the NLS button in Administrator is disabled , then check the file .uvconfig , it is a binary file which must be corrupted in your case , or the NLS settings in this file is set to be disabled , this file is different from uvconfig , 'notice the dot before its name' you will find this file hidden , try to copy it from a backup in order to have the right configration in uvconfig and .uvconfigray.wurlod wrote:Check the NLSMODE setting in the uvconfig file. If NLSMODE is 0 then NLS is not available. ...

Good advice but wrong technique. The .uvconfig file will never be the same as uvconfig - for one thing it doesn't contain all the comments and, for another, it contains additional information, for example about the licensing. You can always regenerate the .uvconfig file using the uvregen command or one of the other techniques, all of which require you to restart the DataStage server.

I couldn't read the reset of the your reply because it is a premium content, and tell now i don't have the ability to be a premium member ,,,
but i think that the uvconfig is implemented in .uvconfig , so the configrations and attributes which is refrenced in uv config in fact implemented at .uvconfig , now lets imagin what happens if you enabled somthing in configration file , but actually is not present in executable ones . and vice versa ? that is what i mean ray ,,, thanks for your illustration if any

Solution
I faced this problem (greyed NLS button) too.
I checked that NLS installed and turned on in uvconfig (NLSMODE=1)
Additionally NLS is available and usable in stages from Designer.
After some tries and experiments I found that the problem appears because DS administrator user had no Local Administrator rights.
After adding DS admin to Administrators group the NLS button in Administrator client became available.
FYI. The user had full IS and DS rights. All checkboxes for roles and applications in web console user page were checked. The user was set to be both user and admin of IS. Yet, without local windows admin rights NLS button was disabled.
Not sure if this should be considered a bug or a feature.
Anyway, hope this helps.
