Error 57 initializing SQLPlus

Hi
I have the following installed on a web server (windows 2003 x64):
Oracle 10g XE
Oracle 11g ODAC (11.1.0.6.21)
I'm running an ASP.Net 3.5 website that connects to Oracle XE via Oracle.DataAccess. This all works fine on my XP development machine, but I have installed the above on our web server and am getting the following when trying to test with SQLPlus:
Error 57 initializing SQL*Plus
Error loading message shared library
It was initially working and I could connect with SQLPlus ok. I've since tried to test my ASP.Net app which failed to connect and now I get the above. Stopping/starting XE and listener doesn't get rid of it either. Strangly I can connect using XE's web interface and a reboot of the server temporarily fixes the problem until my asp.net app connects again.
This is really starting to annoy me because it works fine on my xp machine. Have searched the forums, but there's nothing that seems to match my problem, so I'd be grateful if anyone knows what might be going on.
Regards
John

Still struggling with this.
ORACLE_HOME is set to: C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server
PATH includes: C:\app\John\product\11.1.0\client_1;C:\app\John\product\11.1.0\client_1\bin;C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin;
I have created a stand-alone test windows forms app that connects ok using ODP. Then when I try to connect through my ASP.Net app (which is using the same ODP version) it fails to connect and I don't get any error message. After that I can't connect with my windows forms app or sqlplus. It's almost as if the ASP.Net app is causing the oracle client to crash and after that nothing works until I reboot.
Oracle XE doesn't have a 64-bit version so installs as a 32-bit app. According to all the documentation I've read, ODAC is ok on 32 or 64 bit and I have set the "platform" of the dll I use to connect to be "x86".
This is really beginning to frustrate me. I'm thinking I should've used SQL Server instead. It shouldn't be this difficult to deploy an app that uses ODP.
If anyone has any other thoughts I'd be happy to hear them. My client is waiting to see their website and I'm nowhere near fixing this issue.

[Emergency] sqlplus gets "Error 5 initializing SQL*Plus NLS initialization"

What could be the reasons for the following error?

I solved this problem by adding "esumedi" user to dba group.
[esumedi(ngwapt1):/GXS/esumedi] cat /etc/group
adm::4:root,adm
dba::107:anylink,almnp,albat,alon,almnp180,alon180,albat180

-rwxr-x--x 1 oracle dba 72048 May 6 2008 sqlplusO*
ngwapt1:/ora_client/OraHome_1/bin>
My guess is that a oracle client user needs "read" and "excute" privilege.
Before I add "esumedi" to dba group, the user of esumedi could not read some file in the $ORACLE_HOME.
After I added "esumedi" to dba group, the user of esumedi was able to read some file in the $ORACLE_HOME.
This is my guess.
Is my guess right?
If I change "file access mode" under $ORACLE_HOME directory, it could be the another solution??
Thanks.
Best Regards.

Hi,
1. Check if $ORACLE_HOME of both users is exactly the same
2. Check if sqlplus that you are executing is the same too (which sqlplus)
3. If that doesn't work, try executing directly ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/.... sqlplus "/as sysdba"

Error 57 initializing SQL*Plus

i am not able to start sql plus. It gives me the below mentioned error message. I did not have any problem when i worked a month back but now when i am going to start again, it gives me this error. In between, the only change i brought into my PC is the installation of Kaspersky Antivirus and doing the full scan?

Error 57 initializing SQL*Plus
Error loading message shared library
thanksThis error is raised during the early startup processing for sqlplus and is, by nature, rather generic. Since it is raised during initialization, it's quite possible that not all libraries that might be needed for additional details (such as localized error messages) are loaded.
As the only thing you mention has changed is installation of Kaspersky, that suggests it is blocking a required library from being loaded. This error can also be raised when there is insufficient memory available (which would also prevent loading of required libraries, etc).
Here's a simple test you can do to illustrate this (obviously not on a production system, etc!):
$ cd \Oracle\11.2\database\BIN
$ dir /s /b oraclient11.dll
C:\Oracle\11.2\database\BIN\oraclient11.dll
$ rem temporarily rename the Oracle RDBMS Client Library for testing
$ ren oraclient11.dll oraclient11.dll.save
$ rem this will raise error 57 since a required library could not be loaded during initialization
$ sqlplus.exe /nolog
Error 57 initializing SQL*Plus
Error loading message shared library
$ rem be sure to change back!
$ ren oraclient11.dll.save oraclient11.dllRegards,

Error 45 initializing SQL*Plus

Hi All,
When I try to execute a create view script, I encounter a "Error 45 initializing SQL*Plus Internal Error".
When googled for it. The BUG 3039738 is associated with this error message.
My question is, When the Metalink has explained the scenario in BUG description that. This error is encountered when a shell script is trying to invoke the sqlplus.
I donno why I am getting it when I try to run a SQL create view script.

Hi Robert,
We use eChangeMan for scripts transfer.
The scripts are uploaded into eChangeMan and then sent for approval. Once Approved. The eChangeMan automatically transfers the scripts to specific location on server, from where we execute them.
In one link I found this
Cause: The issue is identified as Bug:3039738. This typically reproduces when SQL script file is on a OCFS filesystem created on shared device (for example, SAN storage).
Fix: The only workaround, until bug is fixed, is to copy the SQL script file to a local disk (in case of Linux, a ext3 filesystem).
But this is the first time I have encountered this error. When i did a vi on script, It looks fine, without any spl characters.

Please anyone give me an idea what is causing the problem.
Thanks,

in DAC > Run History > Task Details, query
Name = SDE_ORA_Product_Category_Temporary
Open Status Description, look for string -lpf, the file after it is the actual parameter file DAC send to INFA server. E.g
-lpf D:\DACTOPUS\Informatica\parameters\SDE_ORAR12_Adaptor.SDE_ORA_Product_Category_Temporary.txt
Open the parameter file, most likely the [session_name] does not match with SDE_ORA_Product_Category_Derive_Full or some parameters are missing.

The above errors indicate some problems in communicating with the tape drive.
The error is explained in note #540543.
Please test with a different tape cartridge and drive and involve your hardware

Error while initiating Travel Form

I received the error 'Error while initiating form' in Travel Expense. It is linked to Message no. 56568. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I currently do not have access to OSS Note.
Thanks.

Hi,
It seems to be a config issue.
If you don't use Adobe but ABAP Forms check/change one of:
1) the customizing in the IMG activity "Travel Expenses Control (Expert View)":
Set the indicator "Other Settlement" in the column 24 for the appropriate trip provision variant to the value: 0 (active), 1 (not active), 2 (not active only in PR05 and PR04)
or
2) the data in the table V_T702N_A - double click your variant on "Accounting Control in Expert View:Overview" screen and change the value as above on Deails screen.
Solution taken from (and checked with ECC 6.0 SP9):
PR05 - Error while initiating travel form
