SP1 lang

Hello all,
I've find this explanation about how could put the Sqlplus in linux to work:
But someone could give me more detailed explanations abiut how I must set this?
Thanks in advance, Eduardo
Sometimes when SQL*Plus is run, you see the error:
Message file sp1<Lang>.msb not found
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
This occurs when SQL*Plus was unable to find a message file during program initialization. The most common cause is that ORACLE_HOME has not been set. This prevents the message files being found and SQL*Plus would be unable to display error messages or text required for normal operation. Other causes are when the message file is corrupt or cannot be read.
Make sure that all the environment variables or registry entries needed to run SQL*Plus are set. The variables are platform specific but may include ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, NLS_LANG, ORA_NLS33, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Also check that the file sp1XX.msb is present in the $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/mesg or %ORACLE_HOME%\sqlplus\mesg directory. The "XX" stands for the country prefix associated with your NLS_LANG environment variable. SQL*Plus reads only one of the sp1XX.msb files. For example sp1ja.msb is read if NLS_LANG is JAPANESE_JAPAN.JA16EUC. If NLS_LANG is not set, then the default (English language) sp1us.msb is used. Check that the appropriate file is of non-zero size and that the file permissions allow you to read it. Note the ".msb" files are binary. The contents may be meaningless when viewed or printed. If you are unsure which language file is being used, try unsetting NLS_LANG and run SQL*Plus to verify it can read the sp1us.msb file
"

See http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/connect.html#sp1_lang
for background info. I'm sorry I don't have any specific
things to try.
Only the "client" version of the 8.1.7.3 server bundle
has been certified with XP. The client version is tools
like SQL*Plus, SQL*Loader and Export/Import.
However I have seen reports of people installing an 8i
database on XP. Check the comp.oracle.* groups on Usenet
for the collected wisdom.

After install of instant client 10.2, error Message file sp1 lang .msb not

Greeting.
I installed Oracle 10G. Was working great.
then installed PHP5. working great.
then TYPO3 (a web content manager) Still ok.
then I wanted TYPO3 to user my oracle 10g server.
One of the step was to install instant client (which I did)
Then I needed to reboot: My oracle 10G doesn't start anymore.

Well, what I ended up doing is the following:
Unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Backed-up my sqlplus in ORACLE_HOME/bin.
Backed-up my libraried in ORACLE_HOME/lib
Renamed instantclient to instantclient_bck
copied all libraries from instantclient_bck to ORACLE_HOME/lib
copied sqlplus from instantclient_bck to ORACLE_HOME/bin
dbshut
dbstart
Everything came back as it used to be :)

Hi gurus!!
We are trying to install a SRM system (EBP4.0) into existing database (oracle 9.2) - MCOD mode - but when we run the installation the process terminates with the next error in sapinst.log

Need a security expert to help on this one...

Hi
I have recently deployed a 3-tier **proprietary** application that:
- has a thick-client installed on a Windows Vista client machine
- Oracle 10g Enterprise edition version 10.2.0.1.0 installed on a server running Red Hat enterprise Linux. This is a very
cut-down version of Linux, only accessible through SSH (or by directly plugging in a keyboard+monitor into the linux box). It
does not have any GUI/windowing mechanism installed on it at all (so for example there is no 'xclock' installed in this
linux). Also the oracle server software installed here does NOT have Oracle Enterprise Manager installed.
I have complete access to the server and can log in as sysdba via SSH (simply login to a SSH terminal and then type in
'sqlplus "/ as sysdba" - that lets me in as the SYSDBA.
Problem: I want to use a graphical tool like Oracle Ent. Manager to look 'inside' the DB. But I cannot install anything or
play around much with the linux box, but I can do whatever I want to the client vista machine.
Attempts so far:
Looking around inside the installation on vista client machine I discovered a folder:
"<xxx>\3rdParty\Oracle10g" which contained files:
- tnsnames.ora
- sqlnet.ora
- sqlplus.exe
When I ran this sqlplus.exe on a CMD prompt it said:
Error 6 Initialising Sql*Plus
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to yourr oracle software directorySo I installed Oracle 10g Client (10.2.0.1.0) on the Vista client machine, hoping that I will then be able to use OEM on
this vista machine and connect to the oracle running on the linux box.
On the vista box I also did:set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1
Now I ran the sqlplus.exe (on the vista box) again and it came up with a login prompt. Problem is I dont have a
login/password; what I plan to do is to create a user by logging in as sysdba on the server, and grant all access to him, and
then log into Oracle Ent Manager as this user from the windows machine.
However, here is another problem: if I do 'tnsping <my_db_name>' it says:
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
I suspect this is because of some security setting in this application OOTB.
The entry in tnsnames.ora setting is correct, as it was done by the client install program (not manually). It contains:
PROTOCOL=TCPS, and PORT=2484.
There is also a 'wallet' folder on the client machine under 'Oracle10g' folder.
Finally the sqlnet.ora on client machine contains:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
SSL_VERSION=0
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
SSL_SERVER_DN_MATCH = FALSE
SSL_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION = TRUE
WALLET_LOCATION=
(SOURCE=
(METHOD=FILE)
(METHOD_DATA =
(DIRECTORY= C:\<xxxxxxxxxx>\Oracle10g\wallet)
SSL_CIPHER_SUITES=(SSL_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40MD5)
All I would like to do is to be able to connect to the oracle server with tools I am familiar with (like OEM, TOAD etc.).
This stuff is quite outside of my understanding, so if you can provide any insight it'll be much appreciated.
Thanks

You could try syncing the contacts with yahoo or google contacts, then sync them to the iPhone. Or, export the contacts and then import them into one of the aforementioned servicse, or iCloud, then sync to the phone.

Hi,
1. Check if $ORACLE_HOME of both users is exactly the same
2. Check if sqlplus that you are executing is the same too (which sqlplus)
3. If that doesn't work, try executing directly ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/.... sqlplus "/as sysdba"

How to solve ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error?

I'm trying to use sqlplus on Windows 2008 R2 which is installed on VirtualBox to access an Oracle 11gR2 database on Red Hat Linux.
I'm sure that the database on Red Hat Linux is up and tnsnames.ora is a copy from another machine which is used by another application to connect to the same Oracle database.
When I run sqlplus, I got the ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
Both sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora are located in c:\app\administrator\product\11.2.0\client64\network\admin folder.
The registry ORACL_HOME has c:\app\administrator\product\11.2.0\client64.
echo %ORACLE_HOME% incommand window returns %ORACLE_HOME%
echo %ORACL_SID% in command window returns %ORACLE_SID%
If I set ORACLE_HOME to another folder, I will get the following error:
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
SP2-0667: Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
So, I believe the ORACLE_HOME in registry has the correct value.
I have also tried set ORACLE_SID to the service name listed in tnsnames.ora but sqlplus still returns the ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error.
For unknown reason, the value of ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID I set by using set command will not persist after I close the command window that I set the values.

It make NO sense do to as above when attempting to connect to Oracle DB on *NIX
which knows NOTHING about NTS Authentication.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)
or just remove the line or whole file.
Also need to be sure that ipchains is disabled on *NIX system

You will find String value with name as the newly defined printer
Same goes to:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-...............\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts
You will find String value with name as the newly defined printer
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-...............\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
You will find String value with name "Device" and has value including the printer name as defined
All the above string values should also be set under the following paths for the valid printer to be seen by all users
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Now what does step 3 means?
Thanks

Installing oracle xe on centos ci environment

Hi,
I have a CI environment that run automated tests on my application every time a commit is pushed to github, the tests are run on a matrix of environments to check if the application is able to run with different databases.
I currently have tests running with sqlite, mysql and postgres and would like to add oracle to the matrix.
The application is in python, (for those curious it is here: https://github.com/treeio/treeio) so on top of the oracle xe database itself I need to install the appropriate driver (cx_oracle)
The current CI I'm using is travis (https://travis-ci.org/), the tests run in a debian (or maybe ubuntu, I'm not sure) environment, they already have mysql and postgres installed
Installing oracle xe on debian proved to be a headache, I've found https://oss.oracle.com/debian/ unstable main non-free which contains only and old 32 bits version, while this wouldn't be a problem for me it generate conflicts when I tried to install cx_oracle dependencies
In any case I've found another CI (snap-ci.com) which uses centos, I've managed to install oracle-xe from the rpm and pip install cx_oracle finally works, but when I try to run anything that uses sqlplus it fails:
echo "CREATE USER treeio IDENTIFIED BY treeio;" | sqlplus -S -L sys/admin AS SYSDBA
sqlplus: command not found
it seems it was not added to the path or maybe I should have installed yet another rpm.
Ideally I would like to run the tests with oracle DB on both services (so I can test my application runs fine on debian and centos the same) but I can settle on running it on just one of them if you tell me it is not possible
by the way, does anyone runs oracle or any of its tools on debian? they seems to provide only RPMs. do everyone that works with oracle uses read hat only?
thanks
Avraham

echo "CREATE USER treeio IDENTIFIED BY treeio;" | sudo sqlplus -S -L sys/admin AS SYSDBA
It gives me
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
SP2-0667: Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
I also noticed that I was insalling oracle xe 11.2 and client libraries 12.1, I'm not sure if that would cause problems but I'm installing libraries and clients with the same version (11.2.x)

Sqlplus is not working in oracle client machine.

In one of the application server on which Oracle client is installed, While login thru unix shell script im getting below error.
"Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus

Oracle 9i, 10g, 11g on same machine...11g not working....

Hello All,
I have a dilemma.
I have a server that originally had 9i client installed.
We installed 10g and ODP .Net to gain use of some new funcionality used in .Net and batch processing.
Halfway through testing we realized that 10g's version of ODP.Net has a memory leak issue.
11g was found to correct this issue so we installed it on the server as well and it solved the problem.
Life was good.
9i, 10g, 11g, and ODP.net were all working well.
However, this was a test server. We now needed to go through the same installs for the production server.
On the night of the software install someone made a mistake and installed 10g on the test server again for the second time, after 11g was already installed.
So at this point the test server has:
9i
10g
11g
10g
And now many of the applications on the server are not working correctly and no amount of config changes seemed to fix it.
So we decided to uninstall 11g and then 10g and start over.
At this point we have 9i and 10g installed and the applications are working correctly.
We have tried to reinstall 11g and configure multiple times and 11g will simply not work.
I am stumped at this point. The application that actually does use 11g and ODP.Net simply stops executing at the point it attempts to open a connection with NO ERRORS.
An Exception does occur but there are no contents or error messages in the exception. I have never had this happen before. How do you fix an error you dont have?
So at this point I am just reaching out to see if anyone might have a suggestion. The next step might be to perform a system restore to the point where life was good (before 10g was installed a 2nd time after 11g).
Anyone?

Thanks gdarling.
I was hoping to just start the thread and go from there as sometimes information overload makes people pass on reading the whole post. I am glad you still read it:)
To start off with here are the entries (unedited in my PATH variable):
E:\oracle11\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin;E:\oracle102\product\10.2.0\client_1\bin;E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1;E:\Orant9i\bin;
I recently moved the 9i path back to the front in order to get the other applications on the server working again as some were erroring out with this when 11.2 was first:
*"OCIEnvCreate failed with return code -1 but error message text was not available"*
I searched for a long time as to the cause of this error but did not turn up much. Most of the posts just mention that the client was installed incorrectly.
Policy files:
I compared the assembly of the "working" server to the "bad" server and they appear identical as far as I can see.
Directories
-9i has one directory
-As you can probably see from the path, it still looks like there are 2 installations of 10g on the server. As well as remnants of three directories that resemble 10g install directories.
-11g has one directory
Couple observed behaviors:
1.
running sqlplus from the 9i and 10g directories works.
running sqlplus from the 11g directory results in the following error:
E:\oracle11\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin>sqlplus.exe
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
SP2-0667: Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
2.
Running tnsping works from the 9i and 10g directories
Running tnsping from 11g results in this:
TNS Ping Utility for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production on 13-MAY-2
010 09:32:32

Message 3511 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNSTNS-035
05: Message 3505 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS
*(NOTE: THIS ERROR ALSO OCCURS ON THE "GOOD" SERVER)*
Registry:
There is a difference in the registry.
The "good" server has this entry in the ORACLE area:
KEY_OraClient10g_home1
KEY_OraClient11g_home1
where as the "bad" just has
KEY_OraClient10g_home1
Both servers have ODP.Net folder containing:
2.112.1.0
There are also other entires in this registry area but they are the same.
It wasn't our original intention to have all three clients on the same machine. Halfway through our system testing of a new process we realized the 10g has a memory leak which was corrected in 11g.
So we just installed 11g. These are supposed to be able to coexist right?
It sounds like we could have just installed 11g...
I am going to look into your suggestions.
As far as sysinternals I am a novice. And I am assuming it would need to be loaded on the server...is that correct? Or should I be using it on my local machine with the application in question running?
Getting more software (sysinternals) installed on the server might be a hurdle...
Thanks again

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%
