NLS_CSMIG_SCHEMA_VERSION

What is the NLS parameter NLS_CSMIG_SCHEMA_VERSION. I am unable to find any kind of documentation for it.
Currently we have its value configured to 2 (Two).
Does it have any impact on the behavior of NLS_CHARACTERSET, NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
or NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS

NLS_CSMIG_SCHEMA_VERSION identifies the current installed version of the Character set scanner (csscan)
For more information about csscan see MetaLink Note:179843.1 Availability & versioning of the Character Set Scanner

When we are trying to view the Japanese characters (windows 7) in SQLdeveloper, toad or sqlPlus, we are getting data like '????'.
Can anybody please explain us the setups required to view the Japanese characters from the local machine and database.
Thanks in advance.

[Note: If I insert the Japanese characters from Sql Developer or Toad, I am unable to see proper results.]For JDBC connections in Oracle SQL Developer, I believe a different parameter setting is required.
Try running Sql Dveloper with jvm option: -Doracle.jdbc.convertNcharLiterals=true.
I need to use this data in Oracle 6i Reports now.
When I am creating reports using the table where I have Japanese characters stored in NVARCHAR2 column, the value is not displaying correctly in Report Regardless of Reports support for nchar columns, 6i is very very old and based on equally ancient database client libraries (8.0.x if memory serves me). Earliest version of Oracle database software that support the N literal replacement feature is 10.2. So, obviously not available for Reports 6i.
I'm guessing only way to fully support Japanese language symbols is to move to a UTF8 database (if not migrating to a current version of Report Services).
Please help to provide a workaround for this. Or do I need to post this question in any other forums?There is a Reports forum around here somewhere. Look in the dev tools section or maybe Middleware categories.

ORA-12705

Hello
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
OS - Solaris
I am facing the following error when trying to connect from PHP script to the Oracle database:
"ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified"
This is how PHP connects to the db:
$this->handle = OCILogon($user, $pass, $name, 'AL32UTF8');Please, pay attention to the last parameter.
This is the output from SELECT * FROM nls_instance_parameters:
1     NLS_LANGUAGE     AMERICAN
2     NLS_TERRITORY     AMERICA
3     NLS_SORT
4     NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE
5     NLS_DATE_FORMAT

12     NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT
13     NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT
14     NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY
15     NLS_COMP
16     NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS     BYTE
17     NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP     FALSEMost of the parameters as you can see are not set.
I have no access to the machine where oracle is installed which means I cannot see environment variables there such as NLS_LANG, etc.
Please, does anyone have an idea or a guess where I can look at and what to experiment with in order to find where the problem is?
I read in Oracle Metalink also and I must say that error sometimes occurs and sometimes does not ...
Thanks!

I'm sorry .. so here is the output from nls_database_parameters:

hi llturro,
Thanks for answering my question. I have tried out what you suggested, but I still can't fix my problem. The following are the messages that display when I try to run my servlet. It seems that the DataSource, Connection and Statement are ok, however when it comes to the ResultSet the error message appear. What's wrong with my ResultSet coding ?
ResultSet rs = stat.executeQuery("SELECT ISBN FROM BOOKSINFO WHERE ISBN='"+primarykey+"'");
setEntityContext Method
Find by primary key
DataSource OK
Connection OK
Primary Key = 013-00-675721-9
Statement OK
java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is:
