How to setup NLS_LANG on Windows XP

Hi,
We have an oracle database with character set AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII setting. and our
production application inserts different language characters directly to the database without any
UTF8 conversion. Another function has been coded which can convert the different character set
to UTF8 via using convert() function before the client side can be used. it has been proved it works
fine with a PHP application which can show UTF8 on the webpage, based on a unix-box server.
Now I have installed a oracle application express server with character set AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
(found from registry) on my windows XP. After reading the article from metalink
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:1393556852351104955::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,158577.1,1,1,1,helvetica
, I understood that oracle server side would convert the character to the client side if it found
their character set are difference, which is not what I want in this case, so I should set my client side as same as
server side so that no any conversion therefore the converted UTF8 code can directly delivered to front application.
I have try to set the oracle client side as AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII, WE8ISO8859P1 or others, none of them works.
Give you a simple instance here is that
1.Insert ZHS16CGB231280(chinese code) to Production database(US7ASCII)
2. retreive it by convert('string', 'UTF8', 'ZHS16CGB231280')
3. send to client side(characterset US7ASCII)
doesn't work
Does anyone has experience and point me out what wrong it is. it lasts me several weeks trying to
figure out, but failure.
Thanks for your help

Generally speaking, if you want to store chinese characters, your database character set must be able to store it correctly without using CONVERT function: you could use one of the
universal character set. I'm surprised that you are able to store chinese characters in the US7ASCII character set but I'm not surprised that it does not work in other cases.
The OTN NLS_LANG FAQ give some common values under Windows, assuming that each Windows node will only be used in one given national environment.

  • How to Setup Transport on Windows Server

    Hi guys,
    I'm trying to setup a transport between two systems. I have done it inthe past in Unix but never done it in Windows. It is kinda difficult for me in Windows.
    Can you please help me understand the setup.
    Server 1. >> PC1
    Server 2. >> PC2
    I have made PC1 a domain controller and shared its /usr/sap/trans to PC2. Also updated TMS parameters in PC2 pointing DIR_TRANS to PC1/usr/sap/trans, but It is not showing up in PC1 (domain controller)
    Your help appreciated!!
    Thanks,
    Afi

    On the Server where you want to share \usr\sap\trans for the landscape( I assume Server1 or PC1 in your terms), login as windows domain admin ( or with admin rights) --> right click my computer --> Manage --> click on Local Users and Groups --> Double click on administrators --> and add users of SAPService<SID> of the other server ( your Server 2 or PC2) and clock pk Ok.
    This should resolve the problem.
    Concept is, giving other server to read and write access to shared drive of Transport directory. There can be no. of days do implement it depending on in House Windows Skills and Secuirty audits, but the above method works.
    Thanks,

  • How to setup the windows installed pxi to RT target

    how to setup the windows installed pxi to RT target?

    Ranjith,
    I think the answer for your 1st que is NO. In the sense, you can run the code, but it may not work precisely as it is supposed to...
    A target can be said to be an RT, if & only if it has an RTOS installed in it, not just Windows, which is not a real-time OS.
    Youcan run the existing code in Windows, but as I said earlier, it may not give you the actual results.
    Finally, hereafter, pl dont use the term 'box' for a PXI. It is a chassis with a main module that runs on Windows or an embedded RT processor/conrtoller that runs on an RTOS like VxWorks or Phsr Lap.
    Hope this helps you to some extent...

    How to setup the airport extreme for window xp

    Sorry, I forgot to mention a few points:
    1) I don't have the Airport Extreme base station;
    2) My PowerBook is connect to the internet thru wired connection with the Built-in Ethernet;
    3) The Airport is turned on, but my PSP's scan cannot locate the PowerBook at all (while it find someone else's network)
    So, I wonder if I can just connect my PSP to the built-in Airport in the PowerBook directly. So that I can have internet access on my PSP.

  • How to setup user's rights to modify Windows Firewall Rules?

    I would like to have an account in my system that doesn't have any other administrative privileges besides rights to modify the Windows Firewall rules by means of Firewall API. How to setup a minimal set of rights for this account to do the task?
    Right now what I see is that if I try to call INetFwRule::put_RemoteAddresses from an account without administrative privileges, the call fails with access denied. There is no means to find out access to what is needed. The call fails even if the process
    is run under high integrity level.
    I tried to setup global security audit, but there were no relevant events logged.
    I tried to monitor the process with procmon, there were no any access denied events logged.
    I tried to give the full access for this account to the correspondent registry keys. It didn't help.
    I stepped firewallapi.dll in a debugger and found out that what fails is an RPC call to some COM interface proxy. I assumed that probably it is a remote call to some HNetCfg.FwRule method. I tried to add the user account to the HNetCfg.FwRule launch and
    access permission ACLs in the DCOM configuration utility. It didn't help either.
    Dear Microsoft, why did you do such a simple thing as settings user rights so difficult? Can you reveal the secret what rights and privileges I have to set?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dei nostra Matrix est.

    Here is what I found so far.
    The firewall service calls RpcServerRegisterAuthInfo to setup RPC security from FwRpcAPIsRegisterAuthInfo. It happens during registration of RPC interfaces in FwRpcAPIsInterfaceCreate. FwRpcAPIsInterfaceCreate is called from FwRpcAPIsInitialize. And FwRpcAPIsInitialize
    is used from FwServiceAsyncStartupRoutine.
    After calling FwRpcAPIsRegisterAuthInfo function FwRpcAPIsInterfaceCreate calls ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptor, which converts a textual description of a security descriptor to some binary form.
    So my guess is that access rights are hard coded inside mpssvc.dll and what I have to do is just to find the textual representation of the correspondent descriptor.
    I found 8 descriptors inside mpssvc.dll:
    O:SYG:SYD:(A;;RCWD;;;BA)(A;;RCWD;;;NO)
    O:SYG:SYD:(A;;RCWD;;;S-1-5-80-2940520708-3855866260-481812779-327648279-1710889582)(A;;RCWD;;;S-1-5-80-3526382388-830156861-4107432654-3665941875-1028450966)

    O:SYG:SYD:(A;;RCWD;;;BA)(A;;RCWD;;;NO)(A;;RC;;;AU)
    O:SYG:SYD:(A;;RC;;;AU)
    I don't know yet which one corresponds to changing a firewall rule.

    Does anyone know if there is a tutorial/article on settinp up Dreamweaver cs3 to use Windows server 2003 as an FTP server...
    any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

    I was able to figure out how to setup the ftp connection, connect to my home server, however,whenever i tried to upload the contents of my website to my server, nothing gets uploaded to the site. I tried putting one page at a time, nothing. tried everything, and still no joy. I can see everything on my local server which is a XAMP package, but nothing on my remote server. Do i maybe need to maybe have a WAMP or XAMP on the Windows Server 2003 or that should not matter. This is new to me so i am learning as i go along.
    Another thing, i was able to create a subfolder in my c:\www.ftproot folder, i can see that folder on my local machine, i'm just not seeing the files in that folder when i do my 'put' with my files.

  • How to setup a Firefox update server on a Windows 2012 server?

  • I cant install an update to Firefox and cant remove the old version because a "Setup" pop up window "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" appears, reboots change nothing. What should I do?

    A friend said she downloaded an update to Firefox (a version of 6, I believe) but didn't install the update, but the desktop icon was gone. The only way to launch Firefox was from the Programs folder. When clicking on the Firefox file, a "Setup" pop up window appeared stating "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" Clicking "No" does not launch Firefox and clicking "Yes" reboots the computer, but nothing changes after restart and the same series of events keeps re-occurring. When clicking on the safe mode file, Firefox was launched. I went to "Add/Remove Programs" and found Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3. When attempting to remove the program, the same reboot "Setup" pop up appears, and the same non-results as previously described, persisted. I deleted all Firefox files and deleted the update set up .exe files. I again tried to remove the Firefox 3.6.3 program, with the same outcome as the previous attempt(s). I went to the Firefox website and downloaded the updated Firefox 7.0.1 set up .exe file, saved and ran it. When I reached the Setup Wizard page that prompts a "Standard" or "Custom" installation, I clicked on Standard and the same reboot pop up window appeared, again with no change after the reboot. So I have a Program installed (Firefox 3.6.3) with no files, and which can not be removed, an executed update/download .exe for Firefox 7.0.1 that can not be completely installed due to the failure to update by reboot problem. I'm out of ideas on how to try to resolve these problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

    Try a clean reinstall.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • How to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page

    how to setup word docs, converted to PDF on local drive with links to a second file at a page
    Need to setup a set of word documents, converted to PDF that has links from one file to a second file at a given page.
    I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.
    Is there a way to setup a link in word and the conversion to pdf that will result in a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type  you get when you add a link of the type Go to a page in another document?
    Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
    Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
    Open second document and go to page
    Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
    Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
    Go to a page in another document
    File: C:\My Documents\second file.pdf
    Page: 43
    Zoom level: Custom
    I got close but did not solve the problem:
    I have a version that uses links to a website, using #page=43 at the end of the hyperlink.
    That works but will only open to the page if is through the web browser, opening the acrobat reader plugin.
    I need to open from a folder on the local harddisk (with relative links), in acrobat pro to the given page of the pdf, on a PC or a Mac.
    I could bookmark each page “pagenumberxxx” and jump to the bookmark/page if that would get around some problem
    Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
    Windows XP SP3
    Word 2003 SP3
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
    Or just to view them:
    Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
    (note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)
    John

    No.  There seems to be no automated way to do it.  You can of course go into the PDF and manually add links after you have converted to PDF, but that is what we want to avoid having to do.  We want it to be automatic from the Word doc.

  • How to setup my airport for music streaming

    Hi all
    I would like to use my iPhone and or iPad to stream music from Pandora and Spotify to my 5.1 (Wired) Speakers.
    This question is similiar to this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4153687 however i wanted some clarity and thought best to start a new discussion before pulling my hair out doing this the wrong way.
    I have an unused Airport Express basestation (A1408) My current home setup is as follows:
    Modem Router: (Netgear DGND3700) N600 Wireless ADSL2+ Dual band Gigabit
    Home Theatre Computer: Windows 7 (Cat6 LAN Ethernet connection) NO LAN port
    AV Reciever: (Onkyo TX-SR309)
    5.1 Speakers: Wired connection to AV Receiver (NOT Airplay capable)
    Laptop: Windows 7 (Cat6 LAN Ethernet connection)
    My question is how to setup the airport, i understand it can be used to enable airplay streaming of music over the existing WiFi network, as these music streaming apps download and play music concurrently i would not want to have to switch between to two seperate WiFi networks. Should i plug the airport into the HTPC? I would need to purchase a LAN Splitter as the only LAN socket is already taken up with my cat6 connection. OR would i plug it directly into the modem/router? This second option is prefereable.
    I have attached an image of my setup below. Any advice would be great, Regards Steve
    [URL=http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/steve7677/media/homesetup_zps63eaf61c.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b599/steve7677/homesetup_zps63eaf61c.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Still slightly confused, with the link you provided i chose scenario 2. All the other secanrios instructed i connect the airport express to my home stereo or powered speakers. As i dont have an aiport express only an airport extreme there is no audio jack and cannot connect it to the stereo/speakers.
    option 2: Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network as part of a roaming network
    Ensure that the AirPort base station Ethernet cables are connected as above
    I have done this and conected it via ethernet cat6 to the modem/router
    Launch AirPort Utility 6.1. The Assistant will automatically configure the Roaming network
    Im using windows 7 and cannot find this version of aiport utility, only 5.6.1 - The message comes up: Aiport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device. I am running this utility on my win7 HTPC (which is connected to my modem/router via cat6 LAN) The airport light is blinkng amber.
    would you reccommend a hard reset of the airport? or can you provide a link for AirPort Utility 6.1.?
    Regards
