Create culture-specific satellite assemblies

Lastly, after updating your .resx files to be culture specific, you must generate the compiled satellite assemblies that will contain the new culture-specific text resources.

Important: Use the Test and Development System when creating culture-specific satellite assemblies.

Before You Begin

• Ensure that Visual Studio is installed on the Test and Development System.

• Ensure that the AVEVA Enterprise SCADA product for which you want to create the satellite assembly is installed on the computer.

To create culture-specific satellite assemblies

1. Select Start, and, in the Search box, enter the following:

   Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019

2. Press Enter.

   The Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt window opens.

3. Execute the following commands to run the MakeResources tool:

   cd %DNADataRoot%\<Product Name>\<Product Version>\sdk\resx\

   "%DNAInstallRoot%\Tools\bin\MakeResources" /name: <Component>

   For example:

   

   This will generate one satellite assembly dynamic link library (DLL) for each culture. The DLL contains all the compiled .resx files for the culture that exist in the specified Component folder. These DLLs are created in the %DNADataRoot%\bin\<culture> folders, as shown in the example above.

4. Copy these Satellite Assembly DLLs to the %DNADataRoot%\bin\<culture> folder on all computers that run AVEVA Enterprise SCADA with the given regional setting (culture).
