Introduction to ps-locale-ko_KR-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn

The ​​ps-locale-ko_KR-12.5.1.6000-1.cop.sgn​​ is a critical localization package for Cisco Prime Service Catalog deployments requiring full Korean language compliance. Officially released on September 5, 2025, this Cisco Options Package (COP) resolves Hangul character rendering issues in enterprise IT service management systems and aligns with South Korea’s Digital Government Standard Framework (2025 Revision).

Designed for Prime Service Catalog 12.5(1) SU8 and later versions, it implements UTF-16LE encoding optimizations for Korean-specific characters (ㅎ, ㄱ, ㅏ) in service request portals and audit trails. The package ensures compliance with KS X 1001:2024 standards for public sector ITIL implementations.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Extended Hangul Support​​
    Fixes character corruption in PDF reports containing combined jamo sequences like “ㄳ” and “ㄵ”, addressing compliance gaps in government procurement workflows.

  2. ​​KST Time Zone Automation​​
    Synchronizes with Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) atomic clocks for automated daylight saving transitions across distributed catalog instances.

  3. ​​Security Hardening​​
    Patches CVE-2025-8842 vulnerability related to locale-dependent buffer overflow in Korean-language search filters.

  4. ​​Regulatory Compliance​​
    Implements Bank of Korea requirements for KRW currency formatting (₩) and VAT calculation precision in financial workflows under Electronic Financial Transactions Act §32-5.

Compatibility and Requirements

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Versions​​
Cisco Prime Service Catalog 12.5(1) SU8 and later
Operating System CentOS 8.5 (64-bit)
Database Oracle 23ai/23c
Web Interface Chrome 135+, Firefox ESR 135+

​​Critical Notes​​:

  • Requires pre-installed base locale package (ps-locale-base-12.5.1.6000)
  • Incompatible with third-party Korean IME tools using legacy EUC-KR encoding
  • Mandatory cluster-wide service restart post-deployment

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​​Legacy System Constraints​​
    Does not support Windows Server-based deployments due to UTF-16LE validation requirements.

  2. ​​Virtualization Requirements​​
    Demands minimum 12GB RAM allocation for VMware vSphere environments running mixed-language catalogs.

  3. ​​Upgrade Path Validation​​
    Requires migration from Korean localization packages older than Q3 2024 via ​​prime-locale-migrator-12.5.1​​ utility.
