Forms 6i - Over-ride NLS settings

Forms 6i on Windows-2000, Oracle Server 9i
I have an existing Forms/Reports application that uses one currency, and I want to be able to re-use it on the same client PC but using a different currency against a different database.
Ideally I would like to over-ride the NLS settings in the client registry e.g. by doing an Alter Session set NLS_CURRENCY.
However, I've tried that and it doesn't work (it does not fail, but it seems to have no effect).
Is there a way to over-ride the NLS_CURRENCY?
If not, is there a way to create a new minimal Oracle_Home in the registry containing another NLS_CURRENCY value and make the entry Form get the appropriate Oracle_Home? The app does not need to run concurrently with both currencies.
Thanks!

As a follow up to my above reply, I have tested with the following and it works well.
Server Side Settings
O/S : RHEL 3
NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
Client Side Settings
O/S : Windows XP Professional (with East Asian languages)
NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
I am able to get a mixture of Traditional & Simplified Chinese to work. Just sharing this information with those who might be struggling with the same issues.

  • Over-ride Exchange settings.

    Hi guys,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to override the CUPS exchange settings in the Jabber-config.xml file?
    The reason is that we are going to progressively roll end users from Exchange 2003 to 2010 (but not all at one time) so some users will be on 2003 (webdav) end also 2010 (EWS) which can’t co-exist on the CUPS server.
    My thought here was to deploy the end user local Jabber-config.xml pointing them to 2010 until all have rolled over etc…
    Any thought greatly appreciated!
    Cheers!

  • How can I over ride the combination code to access the volume limit?

    I want to increase my volume limit but there is a combination lock that shows up and I dont know what the code is! Is there some way I can over ride this and increase my volume limit? It's hard to hear any music.

    The only way to bypass the volume limit passcode is to restore the device to factory settings in iTunes.

  • Default value 'sys_date' in an integer form YYYYMMDD without changing NLS

    I would need to define the default value in the alter table SQL, where I would set the default value of the current 'sys_date' in a string form 'YYYYMMDD' (8 varchar) without changing the session or system NLS settings.
    Would I need to invoke a PL/SQL procedure for this (if possible without it)?

    I have enclosed the SQL for creating my table, where I have to set the current date to today's date for the field 'DAT_VIR'. How do I set the TO_CHAR function in the SQL of the create or alter table SQL?

  • Over ride the drop-down value?

    Hello,
    I am developing an VISITOR Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP)
    When i opened this VISITOR interactive form in a browser, right clicking and checked form PROPERTIES, then i saw the "PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)"
    I have a bunch of drop-downs in my interactive form, done by dragging & dropiing the 'Drop-down list' object, at the end i binded it with some data source, working fine, say its COUNTRY list.
    As soon as use opened the form, he saw the 'USA' prepopulated in the drop-down field, fine.
    User dropped down the entries, he saw a couple, like USA, Canada, UK, Spain, fine.
    But, now user want to enter / override this USA entry with his own value, like FRANCE, but, my form is not allowing, its behaving like a 'readOnly' field!
    Pls. let me know how to over ride a entry of drop-down values, as per user wanting value?

    Hello Srinivas,
    You can overide the entry of drop-down list by:
    selecting the "Allow Custom Text Entry" box of the field tab of the object palette
    of that drop-down list.
    Thanks,
    Debadas.

  • Can I have iPod over-ride the auto-lock setting?

    I use my iPhone to play music over my car stereo via the aux input, and have the auto-lock set to 5 minutes. I want to leave my auto-lock setting on, but have it not lock when the iPod is playing. I think some other apps know how to over-ride this, but my iPhone is always locking me out when I'm driving and it's not safe to be unlocking it while driving.
    Of course I can turn OFF auto-lock in settings, but I'd rather not have to do that every time.

    No.
    If you do not want it to lock, then turn auto lock off.

  • Any terminal commands to allow certain apps to over ride screen saver?

    I have always wondered if there are any terminal commands to over ride the screen saver when certain programs are running, such as slide shows and the current iTunes 10?

    Those commands would just change various preferences settings. You might take a look at Caffeine.

  • HT3867 When traveling with my i pad with Verizon 3G network, can I over ride a wi fi service that charges a fee when I'm paying verizon for my wi fi service. The fee is added to my hotel bill.

    I'm new at this. Please bear with me. Can I over ride a wi fi location when traveling to use my default Verizon wi fi 3G network that I am paying for each month.
    When I stay at the Encore Wynn Resort in Las Vegas there is a charge for daily use of their wi fi service. I'm discourged to pay for the wi fi service twice.

    You are not paying Verizon for WiFi. You're paying them for 3G cellular. If you don't want to use WiFi, turn it off (Settings>WiFi>Off) and just use the 3G.

  • Over ride default user log in?

    Hello,
    in the nutshell, I'm currently running 10.8.3 and am wondering if theres a key to press that will "over ride" the default log in user.
    My set up is that the mac automatically signs on to the family profile, then i sign out and sign into mine. I chose this set up for my rather technically challenged parents. I would like to be able to press a key or simple combination so that it shows the sign on screen and the user can choose who to sign on. I do feel comfortable using terminal if that does make a difference.
    Thanks in advance.

    Open the Users & Groups or Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences and turn off automatic login.

  • Can I over-ride the default setting in Organizer to allow sorting photos by filename ?

    I am converting slides from the 1970's and 80's to digital files and using PSE 8 to Organize them but it is important to me that they stay in the order of the file name I give them and NOT "Date: newest first or last" because it would seem that PSE, in the absence of metafile information, uses the date and time I uploaded the file to the Organizer as the "Date:".  ACDSee has a much more sensible arrangement in giving me full control of how my photos are sorted.  I am being driven to using ACDSee as the organizer and PSE as the photo editor, a not very convenient arrangement.  So my question is, "Can I over-ride the default setting in Organizer to allow sorting photos by filename ?"

    The type of file system that you're trying to set up, is actually done better by creating you own file heirarchy in Windows, and then viewing by import batch.  For example; you might create a top level folder "My Slide Scans", then perhaps, "My son John". So, the scans of john all go in the same folder, you import the folder in one batch, and you're where you want to be.
    That said, PSE will fight you at every turn to do this, since with the scanner hooked up with PSE, PSE is going to want to store your photos in "scanned photos" and import them as you scan them.
    I woud suggest this.  After the scan and import, use PSE to move the photos to their final destination folder, say " Hawaii 1994", and create a tag of the same name". Then when you're done scanning photos of this event, use the tag to view all the scans at once. Then, delete all the photos from the organizer. (Yeah, sounds radical I know). Take heart! All you've gotta do then is to reimport the whole folder. All the same name photos will be in one import batch. And with all the photos of any given topic in one folder, you'll be able to also use Windows Explorer in any number of modes to view the photos outside PSE.
    Keep in mind you can rename batchs of photos by selecting them, or by import batch or even tag, then "Ctrl. > Shift > N" will bring up the name change dialog box.
    This technique is quite contensious, but, it makes a whole lot more sense than storing all your photos in the "My Photos" folder on the "C:/" drive where any viral or malware hiccup might cause the necessity of a reformat, which could cause the loss of years of work.
    If a name search is a priority, that would be "Ctrl ."Shift" > "K" then type in whatever your heart desires.
    Caution: Before attempting a delete/ reimport manuver, Alway, always, write the tag and file info to the photo. "File" >"Write Tag and Properties Info to File".
    I always am quite adamantine about suggesting that you do NOT use the same physical HDD that contains Windows to store your photos, that's just asking for trouble. HDDs are quite cheap nowadays, and they're worth every penny in piece of mind. Plus to use a storage ("Volume") drive, you have to create your own file heirarchy anyway, so that leads right back to the beginning of this discussion.

  • Over-ride concurrent prog noprint option with printer used in CheckPrinting

    I would need to give a little bit of back ground on the Check printing process that we follow to explain my issue.
    Check printing is done by 2 departments - AP and Treasury. AP selects invoices and runs the payments process while Treasury prints the check and confirms the payment.
    Now the issue is when AP submits the payment process, the 'Format Payment Instructions' request gets submitted. Now the users in our AP department have their printer profile set to a default printer and copies set to 1. So for every concurrent request that they submit, the output is printed to this default printer. This has been working fine so far and also works for other requests submitted by the PPR. But the 'Format Payment Instructions' request has the check file in the output which gets printed in the printer from their profile option.
    If the printer option is unchecked or default printer is set to noprint in the concurrent program definition of 'Format Payment Instructions' program, the check does not print at all. Even when the treasury submits the check for printing by selecting the printer. It does not work.
    Is there anyway we could get the printing of checks by Treasury over ride the concurrent program definition or supress printing of checks by the 'Format Payment Instructions' program while being submitted by AP responsibility.
    Any ideas/help on this would be great as we are going live with the upgrade now and would really need to address this issue.
    Thanks!

  • NLS settings for a database link between DBs with different character sets

    I am using a database link to move data from one database to another and I am seeing some strange data problems. The databases have different character sets and different NLS settings. I wonder if this could be causing my problem.
    Here are the NLS parameters for the database where the database link exists. (the SOURCE database)

    Do I need to modify the NLS settings in the SOURCE database before executing a script to insert data into the TARGET database?
    Thanks, Jack

    The difference in settings is not a problem by itself, especially that only the NLS_CHARACTERSET matters. Of course, this difference may lead to certain issues if not taken into consideration.
    Please, describe symptoms of your problems.
