NLS_LANG Settings in Oracle Client.

I am having below values in Server DB
In Database server
NLS_CHARCTERset : utf8
NLS_nchar_CHARCTERset : utf8
nls_language American
What i have to change in Client m/c
In Regedit Orahome as AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252 ? or AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 for display japanese characters
Because few rows are displayed as box characters and others are ¿¿¿¿¿¿(¿) .
Thanks

Dear Shivasha,
I also try the same thing but my character which is storing in the Database is in UNICODE which already it stores. i am storing the in URDU and in database it show in UNICODE but when i see the result in the Form developer or Report Builder the result is showing in the URDU Language. becasue you have to set the Language or install it (in the Windows Control panel there is Regional Settings and the language tab click on the Supplement Language support and it will automatically install the fonts and other files Window need and also may be need the Windows XP Cd then its automatically complete the process and the language can be select in the Task Bar and the language you select the same language written in the Form level but save in the databse in UNICODE CHARACTERSET...
Take care...

How to determine correct NLS_LANG settings

Hi everyone,
My Database server is RHEL 5.8 32bit with Oracle 11gR2, nls_characterset is AL32UTF8
My client machine is Windows XP SP2 32bit, Chinese Simplified
What should be the correct NLS_LANG settings for my client machine?
When I am not setting the NLS_LANG value, the sqlplus seemed to work, but when I set NLS_LANG=AL32UTF8, the sqlplus gives me below error:
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly

Pl post your Oracle client version. Pl document how exactly you are setting NLS_LANG on the client.

NLS_LANG setting for a client with multiple Oracle servers

Hello!
We have a web application which has to connect to one of the Oracle servers with different charactersets. When the NLS_LANG on the client is a single byte encoding and the server has a single byte encoding there are no problems. We have now a server with NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8 and all special (hungarian accented) character are replaced.
When we set the client to UTF8 the rest of servers does not work.
What is the solution for one client and multiple servers with different encoding?
Is there a special key in connection string?
I tried to change the nls_lang with an alter session statement but without success.
Regards,
emeriqus

NLS_LANG is not depending on the database side, it's a CLIENT setting to "let Oracle know what encoding is used on the CLIENT" so that Oracle can do the conversion from the client encoding to the database (NLS_CHARACTERSET) encoding.
for ONE application/client the is only ONE correct NLS_LANG value, regardless of the database NLS_CHARACTERSET
If you web application is really an UTF8 application (check with your vendor) then you can perfectly use a UTF8 client setting and a 8 bit database
Of course, you will be limited to the database side in this case seen the 8 bit characterset does not know all the characters in UTF8
The fact that setting the NLS_LANG to UTF8 "does not work" with your web application is simply the fact your application is not a UTF8 env.
Setting nls_lang to UTF8 will not "magically" make your application UTF8, NLS_LANG is depending on the encoding used in the web server.
But the first thing to ask yourself is if CURRENT data is correctly in the Oracle database.
use SQLdeveloper to check the data, this is a "know good client" that needs no NLS configuration.
You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/
If the data is displayed correctly in SQLdeveloper then you are sure it's correct in the database.
If data is WRONG in the database then that needs to be corrected first, "trying" different client side configurations will only make matter worse (even if they make the data "look good" )

How to insert arabic&english from oracle clients like TOAD,SQL*PLUS

Hi
iam trying to insert arabic&english data from TOAD&SQLPLUS.
if i try to insert arabic by copy and paste iam getting ???? and
if i try to insert through my keyboard (after updating my system with regional
settings) iam able to type some junk characters.
I have installed Oracle 8.1.6 with characterset set to UTF8 and
in my client NLS_LANG settings i have tried with different settings like:-
AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSAWIN
ARABIC_UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.UTF8
ARABIC_UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.AR8MSWIN1256
i have also updated INIT.ORA nls_language ='ARABIC'.
but still iam getting same problem.
any help in this appriciated.
Thanks
Srinivas

Are you able to use Arabic with your Java VM in general? Or are you having problems specific to your database interactions? Sun provides an internationalized version of the JDK and also an "English only" version. Perhaps you have the English only version? I would recommend trying a simple Hello World app with your JVM first... I would also check your JDBC driver documentation and make sure there are no limitations there, and that your database is also setup for internationalization.
It is certainly possible to use TopLink in internationalized environments as we have lots of customers doing this, so hopefully we can figure out what is wrong with your setup.

Changing culture of Oracle client

Hi,
We recently had to re-install our production oracle-client (due to harddrive failure). We installed a new Oracle client (10g) and everything went right back up quite fast.
but...
I belive the new client was installed with a diffrent culture/globalization-settings than the orignal one. Can I some how change this setting? For instance; a query used to result in a value like (in sweden we use commas, not periods for decimal values) :
7,2%
now comes out
7,2.0%
Using that perticular query on the machine where the oracle server is installed still result in the correct(first) result.
Can anyone help me with this?
/D

Hi,
Try this
Environment level This way will effect only client that uses this environment
Terminal session
(Multi-user environment such as telnet)
In UNIX environment, set the environment variable as follows:
In born, korn shell
$NLS_LANG=THAI_THAILAND.TH8TISASCII; export NLS_LANG
Win95/NT/2000 client
1. Run regedit, Registry window will appears
2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. Select SOFTWARE
4. Select ORACLE
5. Select NLS_LANG
Type the NLS_LANG and then enter the value THAI_THAILAND.TH8TISASCII
Use your appropriate "NLS_LANG" the above one for example.

Have you also restored / re-installed the oracle client libs on your windows system? It seems like the oracle client libs are missing.

And also i am not able to start the SAP . it states that Oracle is down. But oracle is running and also Oracle listner..
Please Guide me ..
Thanks,
Mahesh

Provider not compatible version of Oracle client after upgrade 4.112.1.2

I had an ASP.NET 3.5 website running
on intranet small business server as production with:
OS Win2008 Standard 32-bit
Oracle Database 11g107 32-bit
Oracle DataAccess 2.111.60 32-bit
On a development laptop,
I upgraded the website to ASP.NET 4.0.
The development laptop had
OS Windows 7 32-bit
VS 2010
Oracle Database 11g201 32-bit
Oracle DataAccess 4.112.12
Application was running without errors.
On the production server,
I uninstalled Oracle Database 11g107,
to include removing Oracle home and install folders,
and in HKLM > Software > Oracle registry folder.
I installed Oracle Database 11g201
and installed the ODP.NET upgrade to 4.112.12.
(except for VS components).
In the website web.config,
I changed the referenced assembly to:
<assemblies>
<add assembly="Oracle.DataAccess, Version=4.112.1.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
I changed IIS70 Application pool advanced settings to ASP.NET 4.0,
restarting application pool and website.
Rebooted system.
On starting the application when it accesses the Oracle connection,
I get the dreaded: Provider not compatible.
Exception Details: Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client
Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

It is not the VB.NET Oracle connection code,
as it runs fine on the development laptop.
So I look into the GAC.
GACUTIL /l shows 2.111.60 is still in the .NET

Is there a command I need to run to remove the old 111.6.0 Oracle client references from GAC?
Eventhough Oracle ODP.NET installer put a policy to refer the older version to the new?

In
C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0
and in
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
There is only SYSTEM.DATA.ORACLECLIENT
I suspect that we would not see Oracle.DataAccess.dll in these locations anyway.
++++++++
In
C:\Windows\assembly
There is:
Oracle.DataAccess 2.112.1.2
Oracle.Database.Extensions 2.112.1.2
Oracle.Web 2.112.1.2
This is the GAC for ASP.NET 2.0-3.5,
so this appears to be correct
++++++++
In
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32\Oracle.Web\v4.0_4.112.1.2__89b483f429c47342
with the appropriate 4.112.1.2 dlls in these folders
This is the GAC for ASP.NET 4.0,
so this appears to be correct.

Removed Oracle Providers references, I just need ODAC to update and insert data into schema data tables,

Should I need ASP.NET Oracle Providers schema, I can always add references in the application web.config.

So... why would I get provider not compatible version of Oracle Client...
there are no other versions of ODAC hanging around,
unless there are other locations I am not aware of.
The application works fine in development laptop.
The application works fine on production server when I use SYSTEM.DATA.ORACLECLIENT.
But we need to migrate away from SYSTEM.DATA.ORACLECLIENT according to Microsoft,
and I am sure Oracle would rather have me use Oracle.DataAccess client anyway.

I even tried a trick from another post to move what appears to be Oracle Instant Client components,
oci.dll, et al, from an installation into a new home of the Oracle 11g201 Cllent 32 along with Oracle.DataAccess.dll into the website BIN folder
and set references for Oracle.DataAccess.dll to LOCAL TRUE.

So I remain stuck.

How to determine the location of Oracle Client

Hi folks,
how can I determine the location on a given machine where the Oracle Client was installed ?
My java-application, which has used the 9i-Client until now, has to run with a 10g-client in future. The problem is: for a transition period, it has to use both clients optionally. So when the application starts running it doesn't know which client is installed on the machine.
There are never installed both clients, so before starting the jvm I have to decide which one has to be used, since I have to set the right classpath for accessing the jdbc14.jar.
Are there any settings (e.g. ORACLE_HOME or something like that) which are used in the same way in both clients (and on different platforms) ?
Thanks
Jens

Hi Amit,
If you are not able to check the note 118823 or you can't able to find the solution. Just start client copy in test mode, there you can get the size of the client then you can cancel the client copy(which is in test mode).
Hope it will resolve your doubt.
Thanks
Kishore

Running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client installed

I have seen many postings on this issue but none of the suggested solutions have helped me.
I am running visual studio 2010 professional with SP1 on windows 7 64 bit machine. When I try to run a web service locally and call it with SoapUI, I get the following error message during OracleConnection.Open().
Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.
I have tried setting up the build configuration and the project settings to target 32 bit but that has not helped. I have also tried removing the reference to System.Data.OracleClient that shows being under Program Files (x86) and add a new reference to the dll under GAC_64. That too did not work.
I only have the 64 bit client installed on my machine.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

1. Visual Studio any version is 32 bit ONLY irrespective of hardware or OS bits. So to DEVELOP with Oracle Client you MUST install 32 bit Oracle ODAC components. Task manager will show devenv.exe *32 (to confirm 32 bit Visual Studio application).
2. You can run your web application inside IIS/IIS Express in your PC which independently can be either 32bit or 64bit. If it is 64 bit, you MUST also install 64 bit Oracle ODAC components which means you'll have to install both 32bit and 64bit in your 64 bit Win7 running on 64bit hardware.
3. In Visual Studio if you compile with "AnyCPU" as target, the resultant binaries (Web/NonWeb) can be both 32bit or 64bit. So if target PC is "AnyCPU" or "x64", you MUST install Oracle ODAC 64 bit in the target OS if that target OS is 64bit. You don't have to install 32bit ODAC in the target PC.
4. One more catch to above scenario is the target OS could be 64bit simulated OS on a 32bit hardware. In such case you MUST install both 32bit and 64bit ODAC components.
So while you ask your network team to download ODP.NET/ODAC Components make sure you ask them to download both 32bit and 64bit. Total nearly 600MB.
Hope this helps many people out there.

Error while using oracle client

I agree to all what you have written .But as you said we often have client server co-existing on the same hardware platform and also i have additionally installed an oracle client .I agree that the TCP connections is via Net8 (Sql*Net) /ODBC etc. But my question is i want to connect to both my XE server and my other database servers (Production) using a single client (since m having 2 clients , one that came along with the XE database and the other which i have explicitly installed) ,I get the following error
SP2-0667: Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory .Despite setting the path and ORACLE_HOME environment variables , the error persists.

Windows host? Which version, xp? Which "2nd client" version, instant client?
Double check the environment variables and %PATH%. Try changing directory to the particular client .../bin directory and run sqlplus from there, the client program you want may not be the client program you're getting.
%ORACLE_HOME% also needs to be pre-pended to %PATH%, with that second client it might be helpful to set up a .bat file with proper settings. Saves having to retype stuff which will also be typo-prone, i.e. in ct2.bat:
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\ora\<folder\path>
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%;%PATH%

How to make Oracle Developer Suite use different Oracle client version

Hello,
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g (9.0.4) on Win7 32bit
When I run Oracle Forms or Oracle Reports or any DB tool (like SQL Navigator or PL/SQL Developer) and trying to connect to remote Oracle DB 10g (10.2.0.5.0) I get an error ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION.
Then I've installed Oracle Instant Client 10.1.0.4.0 and made DB tools use this client and error was gone, but I still get that error using Forms and Reports.
So my qustion is, can I make Oracle Forms and Reports use any other Oracle Client but that was installed with Oracle Developer Suite? Or any other suggestions are welcome how to fix connection issue in Forms and Reports?
I have read many threads and some suggested to set NLS_LANG. Done that, but it didn't help :(

The better question is why are you trying to use an obsolete Oracle product on such a new OS and expecting it to work properly? Are you also using MS Office 95 on this machine? Attempting to hack a solution is fine if you are just learning to use a product or just playing around. However, I would never recommend attempting to do what you are doing.
Oracle Forms 9.x was desupported years ago, long before Windows 7 was released. Trying to use it in this manner is risky at best and not something that should be done in a professional environment. If you are a student or just home user trying to learn on your own, I would recommend that you use a virtualization product like Oracle Virtual Box and create a vm of an older OS. For example XP, then install on that platform. If you are a licensed user of Win 7 Pro or higher, I believe Microsoft is still giving away (for free) "XP Mode". Details here:

We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help

Greetings all -
We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help.
If, for example, I execute the query "select (all) from dba_objects", trace output reports 90% of the elapsed time spent under "SQLNet message from client".
Here are OS details for the clients: Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
Running "uname -a" from the client gives:
(SunOS bmc-ste-app 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220)
Here are OS details for the dataserver: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2
Running "uname -a" from the dataserver gives:
(2.6.18-92.1.6.0.2.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 17:44:55 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
The RDBMS is 10.2.0.4
Again, please note, there is no application in the picture here. We are just running a simple catalog query (select * from dba_objects) from sqlplus. Why the wait on something like this? The wait also occurs when a different query is used (select (all) from SYS.COL$ where rownum < 50000). And it doesn't matter if I used the full client or the instant client. I still get the same high-wait.
We had thought - maybe this is a network thing - so we put a test client on the same subnet as the dataserver. This helped - but not enough. The wait is still way too high even with firewalls taken out of the equation.
We've also looked at arraysize, SDU, kernel settings. And we've spent time going over tkprof, truss and sqlnet-tracing.
Has anyone ever had to solve this HIGH WAIT ON CLIENT issue? Is there a work around or some tweak I'm missing.
Is anyone configured like we are (linux dataserver, solaris clients)? If so - did you see anything like this?

Hello,
We have the exact same issue. Did you ever solve this issue? We have a t5220 and have just upgraded our 11.5.10.2 11i system on it from 9.2.0.8 32-bit sparc to 11.2.0.1 64-bit sparc. Things should be faster but arent, and our consultant has tracked it down to high wait times when the apps tier using forms connects to the database tier on the same box. So even though the t5220 is both server and client, there is something about the client sql connection.through TNS that his having trouble. Thanks for any information. We've also created an S/R with Oracle.
Note: I am well aware of the other issues with the CMT server series but this particular issue seems independent of the regular / known issues and remains a mystery to us. Other known issues with the CMT servers for SPARC:

Oracle Client 11g R2 on windows 7

Hello All,
I installed Oracle 11g R2 Client on windows 7.
My OS is windows 7 professional 64 bit.
I installed Oracle Client 32 bit, so i will be able to use my 32 bit applications (TOAD, PL/SQL Developer ...)
every thing is good. but recently i discovered that in the regedit under : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE there is no oracle key name. so i am not able to change my NLS_LANG .....
Your Help pls.
Regards,

I'm not familiar with the structures under Windows 7, but simply do a registry search for NLS_LANG. If it is set it must be found.

Oracle Client 9.2.0.7 + forms60

Hi People,
At my work we have Oracle client 9.2.0.7 on the workstations,
About a week ago we got a new app and its build/made in Oracle Forms 6i
Heres the thing i need to install the forms 60 client and make it work with the currently installed 9.2.0.7 client..
But no ....my windows environments changed when i goto CMD - SET , ive got 2 diffirent oracle home etc...Registry´s messed up my Oracle 9 settings..
Now i get all kinds of spectacular ORA-Uname it errors..
My question is this. is it possible to install the forms 60 client with the currently installed 9.2.0.7. clients ??
Can they coexist on one machine, if so can someone plz explain ?
Mny thx ,
Loz

Hey Travis !!
It worked i installed Forms 6I first and then i used the Oracle 9I client and now they coexist on one machine !!
But heres the thing now i got the Oracle 6I forms to work and now all my other DB apps are not working anymore lolz.....
Ive contacted the company in question to take a look at it ;-)
Why ? cause their using custom installers ... its not really forms 6I & Oracle 9I
They have modified the setup's, dll's environment variables + registry entries lolz...
So if u use the Oracle "Oracle" Forms 6I + Oracle 9I it will work perfectly
Got 2 homes, 2 install folders etc. completly seperated from one another i can remove one and the other will work perfectly ;-)
So Travis thx for the help and ill post another message as soon the company gets back to me ...

I recently encountered the same problem at a client
site where the desktop PC (running Windows XP Pro)
had the Oracle 9.2 Client installed. We then came
alone and installed Oracle Forms and Reports 6i on
the desktop. Everything related to Oracle stopped
working on the PC. Forms and Reports builder would
give us some kind of strange TNS Adapter error and
the 9i Client SQLPLUS command couldn't even connect
to the database anymore. Yeah, we had to Oracle
Homes but it didn't matter which one we selected.
Nothing would work.
The only way we got it to work again was basically to
start with a clean box. First, save off the
SQLNET.ORA and TNSNAMES.ORA file in the <9.2
HOME>\network\admin directory that you used with the
9.2 Client somewhere so you don't have to reinvent
it. We then stopped and disabled any Oracle services
running on the box, then we started uninstalling the
Forms and Reports 6i Product and the 9.2 Client
Software. Cleaned out all the registery entries we
could find that related to those 2 Oracle products.
Booted into safe mode and deleted the two directories
that had been created from the 2 products (i.e.
C:\orant and C:\Ora92), and deleted the C:\Program
Files\Oracle directory as well. Rebooted back into
Normal Windows mode and made sure everything was
running ok.
I was once told that Oracle likes to have the older
products installed first before newer products so
that's what we did. We first installed Forms and
Reports 6i, Applied the Patchsets we wanted. Rebooted
as needed. Copied the saved SQLNET.ORA and
TNSNAME.ORA file to the new Forms&Reports
\net80\admin directory (i.e. C:\orant\net80\admin)
and made sure we could connect to the database. So
now we had the Default Oracle Home as the
Forms&Reports home but that didn't matter to us.
Then we installed the 9.2 Client software to it's
default directory (i.e. C:\Ora92). Copied the saved
SQLNET.ORA and TNSNAMES.ORA file to the
C:\Ora92\network\admin directory. Made sure that our
selected Oracle Home was ORA92 and that the 9.2
Client could connect to the database.
Life was good after that and everthing worked.
If you haven't installed the Forms6i on the other
machines then you just probably need to uninstall the
9.2 client first and then reinstall it after you've
installed Forms6i.
Hope this helps.
