Introduction to ps-locale-uk_UA-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn
The ps-locale-uk_UA-12.5.1.4000-1.cop.sgn is a critical localization package for Cisco Prime Service Catalog deployments requiring full Ukrainian language compliance. Released on March 18, 2025, this Cisco Options Package (COP) resolves diacritical character rendering issues in Eastern European IT service management systems, particularly for government agencies and financial institutions adhering to Ukraine’s Digital Transformation Strategy 2025.
Designed for Prime Service Catalog 12.5(1) SU4 and later versions, it implements UTF-16LE encoding optimizations for Ukrainian-specific characters (ґ, є, і, ї) in service request portals and approval workflows. The package aligns with Ukraine’s DSTU 7600:2015 standard for Cyrillic text processing in enterprise software interfaces.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Extended Cyrillic Support
Fixes character corruption in PDF reports containing “ґ” and “ї” combinations, addressing compliance gaps in public sector ITIL implementations. -
Time Zone Automation
Synchronizes EET/EEST daylight saving transitions across distributed catalog instances, eliminating manual clock adjustments for SLA timers. -
Security Hardening
Patches CVE-2025-2284 vulnerability related to locale-dependent command injection in Ukrainian-language search filters. -
Regulatory Compliance
Implements Ukraine’s National Bank requirements for currency formatting (₴) in procurement workflows and audit trails.
