Hi All,
In our BW production SAP standard job DBA:update_stats is failing . In Job log we found that the info like

we still using 9.x client shall we add that path to the above varaible.

Ora-12705 can not access nls data files or invalid environment specified

platform: win2000,
dev tool: VC++2003
the client machine:only install oracle instant client and XDK
env variable:
NLS_LANG=SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK
ORA_NLS10=%XDK_HOME%/nls/data
the exception was thrown out when open oracle connection:
env->createConnection (user, password, service);
I will appreciate if anyone can tell me what was going on
Regard

I recently encountered this error (12705 with same text) after installing, de-installing and again installing the Oracle 10.2.01 client. The initial install saved to a path ending in ... /Client1, but hung on the last screen (due to a conflict in my response to a prompt from Semantic to allow "javaw" to run). The second install saved to a path ending in .../Client2.
The error was resolved by removing the path for .../Client1 in the "Path" Environment Variable.

Statement s = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);

Permissions for nls data folder

are :

And as long as you rely on being spoon-fed everything, you will never be confident about your result.
Try the following:

>try calling this code: Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH);
    before you open a database connection.
> The NLS_LANG must be unset in the Windows registry (re-named is best). Look for the NLS_LANG subkey in the registry at \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE, and rename it.
And where did you find that solution?

ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid enviroment specified

Hi, I am using Oracle 11g R2 and using the client Navicat.
I can connect through command promt and SqlPlus absolutely fine but when I try to connect with Navicat, it wont allow me to and gives me the error in the topic. I have changed the NLS_LANG to NLS_LANG1 and double checked the ORACLE_HOME which is fine. Im not sure on how to connect with Navicat so could someone try and assist me on getting this to work?
Thanks in advance.

What is wrong?

It is most likely that the NLS files are missing from the server/pc.
Also look at the apachectl file.
Find the following line:
NLS_LANG=${NLS_LANG=""}; export NLS_LANG
Modify this line to look like the following:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.CL8MSWIN1251; export NLS_LANG

Error: 12705 Cannot access NLS data

I have just downloaded and installed 11.2 Express Edition + Oracle SQL developer on Windows 7 but when I tried to connect it returned me an error: 12705 Cannot access NLS data.
I tried to change NLS_LANG param in registry & skipped NLS settings bit it did not helped.
How to resolve this?

The previous locale was set to Russia
I have Win 7 32xAccording to Installation guide section 9, about supported language configurations, not many language message files are included.
But I suspect something else is going on here. You could try changing Windows OS back to Russian locale and do:
set nls_lang=russian_russia.cl8mswin1251
sqlplus / as sysdba
Fortunately, there are many people who are able to install successfully by simply adhering to the steps in this GuideAs indicated above, with Oracle at the very minimum you need to read and follow the Installation guide for the product.
Oracle Database is an extremely capable development and deployment platform for database centric applications. It is also vast and complex, so don't be suprised if you need to spend a couple of years to get well oriented with it. One of the first things a new user should do is to get familiar with the relevant Documentation library.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.

But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

Mac OS X : ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file

I have followed the instuctions on Oracle's site:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/macos/index.html
specifically the Blog pages by Sergio and Anthony and have encountered a couple problems:
1) I got this error when running the db config assitant (dbca) as per Anthony's steps:
ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file
I was running this from a shell while logged onto the gui as my admin id (mtaylor) then running
sudo -u oracle sh
then running the ./bash_profile commands, altho I had to
cd /Users/oracle
cat .bash_profile
and then copy and paste the commands since running
./.bash_profile
and then testing by running
echo $ORACLE_HOME
gave me a blank line.
I thought that logging onto the gui as mtaylor might be the problem since I was getting 2 errors in the shell as the java initialized:
ATSFontGetFileSpecification failed: error -5000 (twice),
2) so I decided to log onto the gui as the user oracle and then open a shell. Doing this, I get to step 12 of 12, press finish and nothing happens at all. It doesn't freeze tho because I can cancel and exit with no problem.
I went back to mtaylor and tried again and now I get the same result. I may have done something else to fix my first problem meanwhile as I have been working on this for a few hours.
I have confirmed that I am specifying the correct directories in the dbca, the .bash_profile and the files below, and that the owner:group is oracle:oinstall with r/w access:
ORACLE_BASE=/Volumes/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME="$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.1.0.3/db_1"
PATH="$PATH:~bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin"
ORACLE_SID=orcl
My tnsnames.ora is (after default entry):
orcl.world =
(DESCRIPTION =

(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=orcl)))

(SID_DESC=

I am specifying /Volumes/u02/oradata as the datafiles location (this exists with the same permissions as above)and specifying include the example schemas.
Any ideas anyone?

Hi,
Since 2-3 days the data refresh is failing on our PowerBI site. I checked below:

2. Data source is also in ready status and test connection worked fine too.
3. Below is the error in System Health -

4. Below is the error in Event Viewer.

Any idea what could have went wrong suddenly, everything was working fine from last 1 month.

Never mind, figured out there was a lock on SQL table which caused all the problems. Once I released the lock it PowerPivot refresh started working fine.

Access a data file within a jar package

hello, everyone
I got a problem in locating a data file packaged in jar file.
For example, in foo.jar there is a data file with the directory path "d1/d2/data.log". In the command line, I want to access that data file by making it as an input to the Main class which will load data.log at runtime. However, it reported exception of "no such file or directory". In the command line, I input:
java -classpath foo.jar d1.d2.Main d1/d2/data.log
any suggestion?
Thanks
Chinyi

I don't understand what you're trying to do by including d1/d2/data.log in the commandline? It appears to be extraneous and invalid.
Assuming:
that the class you want to execute is Main.class in foo.jar, and that its path in the jar is di/d2, and
that Main uses d1.d2.data.log when it access this file, it should work.
