Problems testing a Connection to the OCI8 Driver for Oracle 8.1.7 from the Command Line

Question

Hello,
I am configuring a JDBC Connection to an Oracle 8.1.7 from WebLogic 7.0.0. I want
to use an OCI driver.
When I am testing the driver, I execute the command (From DOS console in Win 2k
Professional):
java utils.dbping ORACLE myUser myPassword myDB
But it produces the next error:
Error encountered:
java.sql.SQLException: System.loadLibrary(weblogicoci38) threw java.lang.Unsatis
fiedLinkError: C:\bea\weblogic700\server\bin\oci817_8\weblogicoci38.dll: No se

at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:517)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:146)
at utils.dbping.main(dbping.java:175)
Also, a window appears and displays the next message:
"It does not find the entry point to procedure OCILobLocatorAssign" in the dll
OCI.dll"
My environment variable PATH is defined as follows:
Path=C:\bea\weblogic700\server\bin;
C:\bea\jdk131_02\bin;C:\bea\weblogic700\server\bin\oci817_8; C:\orant\bin;C:\local\bin;c:\DMI\WIN32\BIN;H:\AURORA\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM
Can you help me !
In advance thanks !

Do you see a folder lib32 instead. Otherwise you will have to install Oracle
client on the machine to use OCI.

Sree,
In this moment I don't have an environment variable ORACLE_HOME, and Ihave two
candidate directories to be the value of this variable: The firstcandidate directory
is C:\orant, and C:\orant\bin exists but C:\orant\lib doesn't exist.
The second candidate is C:\local; and C:\local\bin exists, butC:\local\lib doesn't
exist, and C:\local\oci80\lib\borland\oci.lib & andC:\local\oci80\lib\borland\ociw32.lib
and C:\local\oci80\lib\msvc\oci.lib & andC:\local\oci80\lib\msvc\ociw32.lib

Hi Ricardo,
You need to have a environment variable ORACLE_HOME set and then make
sure
you have "%WL_HOME%\bin\oci817_8; %ORACLE_HOME%\bin;ORACLE_HOME%\lib"
in the
path .
(replace WL_HOME with what ever your path to the WLS bin folder is)
