The solution to this problem is described in MetaLink note #211920.1. But this note is published with LIMITED access as it involves using a hidden parameter.
You can get access to the note through Oracle Support only.
The problem itself is solved generically, if the source database is at least 10.1.0.3 and the target database is 10.2

Problem with character set UTF-16 LE

Hello.
There were difficulties with character set change, using function convert ()
The matter is that in the list v$nls_valid_values the character set AL16UTF16LE does not appear, during too time the inquiry is successfully carried out
convert ([some-national-characters], ' CL8MSWIN1251 ', ' AL16UTF16LE ').
But at giving on an input of the data stored in CLOB, there is an error "a character set is not supported"
What are possible ways of the decision of a problem?

You can try to use DBMS_LOB. SUBSTR to access LOB data like in the following example:
SQL> select * from v$version;

Problem with character set - Reports 11.1.1.4

Hi!
I have a problem with Oracle Reports 11g regarding character set configuration. The default character set WE8ISO8859P1 works, so PDF reports have a regular display except for Eastern European (EE) letters which are replaced by "¿" sign.
So, when I set any other character set in reports.sh, which would be a normal step to get EE letters, I'm always getting Greek Alphabet in PDF reports. Why Greek Alphabet?
The character sets I tried to use are: EE8ISO8859P2, UTF8 and AL32UTF8.
I changed uifont.ali and included PDF Subset with all four Arial font variants and, of course, I placed all fonts in fonts folder which is pointed by REPORTS_FONT_DIRECTORY.
In Reports Builder everything works fine, but when I have to deploy the report to the Reports Services, the problem occurs.
Also, when I've tried to execute PDF report using In-Process Reports Server (rep_wls_reports_hostnameasinst1) instead of AS Instance Reports Server (RptSvr_hostnameasinst1, which is a regular server), I'm getting Greek Alphabet in PDF reports even if the default character set is WE8ISO8859P1 in reports.sh. What is wrong with it? Where is Greek Alphabet configured?
The production environment is 64-bit Oracle Linux 5.6 with Weblogic 10.3.4 and Forms&Reports 11.1.1.4. Forms works fine with character set EE8ISO8859P2 defined in default.env file.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Dejan

Thank you, Denis!
Doc 300416.1 was very useful but Note 356221.1 - A Practical Methodology on Porting Reports from Windows to Unix with Different Font is actually crucial for configuring Reports on Linux.
Also, there is a bug in 11.1.1.3 and 11.1.1.4, which can be fixed using the patch ( Note 1138405.1 - PDF Reports With Font Subsetting Raises Error "Bad /Bbox" on 64-Bit Linux ).
Kind regards!

Yes, the network connection could not be established. Like the error said.
What you're asking about is the exact reason, but that could be any number of things and not at all related to code. You could have the wrong host, the wrong port. A firewall could be blocking the outgoing connection, a firewall could be blocking the incoming connection. Etc. etc.

Converting Unicode to UTF-8 character set through Oracle forms(10g)

Hi,
I am working on oracle forms (10g) where i need to load files containing unicode character set (multilingual characters) to database.
but while loading the file , junk characters are getting inserted into the database tables.
while reading the file through forms , i am using utl_file.fopen_nchar,utl_file.get_line_nchar functions to read the unicode characters ...
the application server , and database server characterset are set to american utf8 characteset.
In fact , when i change the text file characterset to utf8 through an editor(notepad ++,etc) , in that case , data is getting inserted into database properly,(at least working for english characters) , but not with unicode ...
Any guidance in this regard are highly appreciated
Thank you in advance

I am facing some problems with Oracle character sets.
I have set the database character set as UTF8.
I have set the environment variable NLS_CHAR to Portuguese_Portugal.UTF8.
I insert a Portuguese text for varchar and clob columns in a table.
However when I select the text from that table, I get some junk values for the clob.
Any help is appriciated. Thanx in advance.

Problem with character set (ubuntu linux)

hello everyone.
I 'have already installed oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386 in ubuntu.
The problem is that greek characters from the db appear like ??????.
How can i set the right nls_lang character set to solve the problem in ubuntu linux?
Thank you in advance!

Character code point translation is in the realm of the client, try setting NLS_LANG environment variable.
If your client programs handle UTF8, as do many linux utilities, that is the best choice, set your <language>_<locale>.<characterset>, i.e.
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
Or french_france, or german_germany ... depends on the locale you want to use. Try a `putty` session to the host, the terminal can be set for many different character sets, i.e. ISO8859-<n> a.k.a. the WE8<n> or Western European, UTF, etc. under Window/Translation.
Try a few select ... from dual; statements in sqlplus with a literal, and different unicode values- the unistr() and dump() functions can come in quite handy.
select unistr('\ac20 euro' ) from dual;
... € euro ...
select dump( unistr('\ac20 euro' ) ) from dual;
... <ascii codes for the character values> ...
select dump( unistr('\ac20 euro' ),16 ) from dual; -- this one for hex dump

Problem with Character Set after upgrade

Hello,
I have a probelm and was wondering if anyone has seen this before.
I have been running Java 1.4.2_13 for a while now on some Windows servers. About a month ago we upgraded to Java 1.6.0_12.
We are reading input files that are in the character set Big5 HKSCS. After the upgrade our application started to report certain characters as invalid. Some of the characters are 0xD843, 0xD844.
These should be valid characters and were in the previous version of Java (1.4.2_13).
Has anyone seen this?
Thanks in advance,
Jerry

The [Supported Encodings|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html] page for the Java 6 release describes that charset as
Big5 with Hong Kong extensions, Traditional Chinese (incorporating 2001 revision)You would know more than I do about that 2001 revision (or at least, not less than I do, since I know nothing about it). Perhaps that's the source of your problem?
Edit: especially since the [Supported Encodings|http://www.j2ee.me/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html] page for Java 1.4 doesn't mention the 2001 revision.

Problem with character set with servlets and Oracle 9i AS

I am deploying a servlet with Jserv on a Sun machine.
My servlet is working but some special characters in text fields like "i", "h", "`" (French language) are replaced by "?" when refreshing the HTML pages.
Is that a Jserv or Oracle 9i AS settings problem or machine settings problem ?
Thanks for you help

A Problem with accessing to a Oracle Database

When i try to obtain data from the a database in an Oracle Server, i cannot obtain the data fromthe server, I made the same using the example with LoanBean using the derby client, but I cannot do the same with Oracle.
The result of this is:
java.lang.NullPointerException
and the code:
if (rightName.equals(user.getText() && (rightPass.equals(pass.getText()))
Please, help me.

Hi Ivan,
Are you sure that is't Oracle problem? How code you specified is related to Oracle?
Find out which of variables is null. It cab be easily done with operators like
info("rightName="+rightName);
before operator you specify.
Another way is to use debugger.
Thanks, Misha

Unable to work with ODAC, VS2008 and Oracle Database 10g XE

I have downloaded and installed ODAC 11.1.0.6.21. I have followed the instructions in the 2 Day + .Net Developer's Guide (Chapter 3 - Building a Simple .NET Application Using ODP.NET) until I got to adding reference: when I added the Oracle.DataAccess 2.111.6.20, I observed that the new Refererence did not appear in Solution Explorer as described in the Guide.
However I continued with the steps until I got to the testing phase, ran the form and entered Hr for User Id, Hr for Password and XE for data Source as I am running Oracle 10g XE. I got this error with every attempt: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
From Server Explorer however, I can connect and see Schema Objects but when I right click Packages for eg, to create a procedure that uses a Ref Cursor I see only Refresh and Properties in the corresponding context menu, no New Package link!
What could be the cause of all these?
1. Is XE my correct Data Source?
2. Why is the new Reference not visible in my solution explorer?
3. Is my VS2008 or ODAC not configured/Installed Correctly?

The tnsnames.ora file seem to be auto configured. However I tried updating it with Notepad when I changed my computer name to no avail. I had to revert back to my old computer name.
This is the content of my tnsnames.ora:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = obinna)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = CLRExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
Please if there is any clause that need to be changed point it out for me.
Thanks for your reply.

Hello,
We've got the same problem.
It comes from the National Character Set of Oracle Database.
With WE8ISO8859P1, no problem with using this parameters.
But with WE8ISO8859P9, we have some hexadecimal return.
I don't know if it's works with another Character set, but with this, It doesn't work.
We're trying to find a solution. Because change the character set is not one.
Good luck.
