SQLLDR & host = ORA-12705 invalid NLS

I'm trying to load some data from txt file into database.
I have a batch file and it looks like this:
set ORACLE_HOME=D:\Oracle
set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.EE8MSWIN1250
set PATH=D:\Oracle\bin;%PATH%
sqlldr usr/pass@db control=d:\file.ctl log=d:\file.log data=d:\data.txt
If I run this batch from command prompt it works OK, If I run this from FORM I get ORA-12705.
It looks like my NLS_LANG variable is not getting through.
..., any ideas?

set it in the form account's profile. since your login account may not be the same as form access the db.

Hello, I'm so worried because I can't resolve the following problem with my oracle clients on my desktop.

Oracle clients: Oracle 8i
Issue: I can get connection and access to the DB successfully
Middle state:

ORA-12705 Invalid or unknown NLS_LANG parameter value specified

Hi,
I am trying to connect to a remote Oracle 8i database using TOAD.I have Oracle 8i and 9i installed on Windows XP Professional.I am able to connect via SQL*PlUS and OEM.Initially I was able to connect with TOAD.Then I changed the environment variable NLS_LANG to the server setting and afterwards unset it.I haven't been able to connect to remote db via TOAD since and get the following error:
ORA-12705:Invalid or unknown NLS_LANG parameter value specified
I have unset the value of NLS_LANG in the registery settings of both the Oracle homes.it is not set in environment also.I have exhausted the resources but haven't been able to come up with an explanation and solution.please help.

When I connect TOAD with 9i as ORACLE_HOME, it connects fine but when I try to connect with 8i as ORACLE_HOME, I get the ORA-12705 error.does this mean there is some wrong setting in 8i Home? I have removed NLS_LANG setting from the 8i Home registry setting. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

ORA-12705 (Invalid or Unknown NLS parameter) connecting to 9.2.0.5 database

I installed OracleXE on my laptop and it seems like after that, I was not able to connect to my pre-existing "remote" databases anymore via Forms, Reports, Discoverer, or SQL*Plus.
I was able to add these "remote" databases to the tnsnames in my XE Oracle_home instance to allow me to connect to these databases via TOAD. But, I still cannot connect to them from the above named applications.
I've read through so much NLS_LANG and ORA-12705 documentation, and i still can't figure out why it won't let me connect. I've tried setting the NLS_LANG in my registry to just about every possible value. The database they are trying to connect to has it set to AMERICA_AMERICAN.UTF8. I'm starting to think re-installing all of my Oracle client apps is my only option. Any ideas?

I'll check on that. But, I made sure to sync up the tnsnames.ora files in each of my ORACLE_HOMEs so that I could take that out of the equation.
Is there a way to turn on some logging when I try to connect to these "remote" databases to give me more of an idea exactly whats going wrong? Or, to track the Oracle Home each particular exe is pointing to?
When i was playing around with the NLS_LANG environment variable (not sure exactly which value caused it), I also got ORA-3106 (fatal two-task protocol) errors a couple of times when I was trying to log in.

Sqldeveloper ORA-12705 NLS parameter problem

Hi,
I just have installed sqldeveloper 1.2.1.
I´m using Oracle 9i with american_america character set.
My Win XP regional settings: Español (Ecuador) = Spanish (Ecuador)
I configured sqldevloper with Language=American, Territory=Ecuador, Sort=Spanish, Comp=Binary and Date Language=American. However, I get connected to the db succesfully, but I got an annoying message (2 times):
An error was encountered performing the following operation:
ORA-12705: Invalid or unknown NLS parameter value especifed.........
It could be great if someone could help me to get rid of this messages...
Regards,
Santiago

Fixed ORA-12705 with sqldeveloper Version 1.5.1 Build MAIN-5440 on Windows XP
I also had ORA-12705 Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified on connect to DBMS instance and was able to track it down to the environemnt variable ORACLE_HOME which I had set in the dos command box as below:
ORACLE_HOME=C:\programs\oracle\product\10.2
That pointed to an Oracle Client ORACLE_HOME.
I realized that the error goes away if:
a) I remove ORACLE_HOME from the environment, i.e. "set ORACLE_HOME=" in the does box or
b) I set ORACLE_HOME=C:\programs\oracle\product\11.1, where this is an 11.1 SERVER ORACLE_HOME
Using regmon I saw that sqldeveloper does not access the Windows registry. Unfortunately I was unable to determine the root cause why the error occured when ORACLE_HOME pointed to the 10.2 client ORACLE_HOME. All I can say is it was not due to file access permissions.
I was also unable to determine why sqldeveloper kept using C:\programs\oracle\product\10.2\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar even when ORACLE_HOME did not point to C:\programs\oracle\product\10.2.
With ORACLE_HOME=C:\programs\oracle\product\11.1 the following jar file was used for JDBC:
C:\programs\oracle\product\11.1\jdbc\lib\ojdbc5.jar
When I'm setting "set ORACLE_HOME=C:\programs\sqldeveloper", which is the installation directory of sqldeveloper, then it works fine and filemon utility shows that it uses this JDBC jar file:
C:\programs\sqldeveloper\jdbc\lib\ojdbc5.jar
Unfortunately neither Oracle® Database SQL Developer Installation Guide Release 1.5 E12153-02 nor Oracle® Database
SQL Developer User’s Guide Release 1.5 E12152-05 (the latest editions as of Dec 08) say anything about ORACLE_HOME that applies.
However this info in the "User's Guide" is noteworthy: "_Note that SQL Developer does not use default values from the current system for globalization support parameters_;"
This seems to indicate that any NLS_* parameters in the registry and environment (DOS box) are ignored. Go to Tools > Preferences > Database > NLS in sqldeveloper to set them. But there is no way to set the character set!

ORA-12705 when running application what was linked statically

I am trying to link our application statically, which is ProC and Oci application, compiled with oracle 9.2.0.6.
I am compiling on HP-UX 11.00.
I used the static linkage of oracle's sample1.pc, to see which libraries are taken by oracle, and I got the following:
-lclntst9 -lnbeq9 -lnhost9 -lnus9 -lnldap9 -lldapclnt9 -lnsslb9 -lnoname9 -lntcp9 -lntcps9 -l:libcl.sl -l:librt.sl -lpthread -l:libnss_dns.1 -l:libdld.sl -lm -lpthread -lpthread
After linking my application with the following libraries, I try to run it. I didnt supply my application ORA_NLS33. NLS_CHARACTERSET of the database I am trying to connect is WE8ISO8859P1.
When I tried running it, I got:
ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
Therefore I tried to add the nls libraries, -lnls9 -lsnls9 -lunls9, to the static compilation, but when I try to rerun my application, I still got the same error.
Only after applying my application ORA_NLS33, it worked fine.
The question is:
When I am linking statically, does my application must have a client, in order to work properly, or am I missing other libraries that I need to link with?

Well, given that, I think getting a sqlnet trace would be a good idea. Have you done that before by chance? It's not terribly difficult, but maybe a bit messy to do through a forum posting (not impossible mind)... If you have a support contract you can open an SR to help with that.
As an example, here's my sqlnet.ora file from an 11.2 ODAC install with all the tracing enabled (need to change path as appropriate, of course):
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
DIAG_ADR_ENABLED=OFF
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=16
TRACE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT=C:\oracle\11.2\odac\Network\Admin\TraceWhen I deliberately place an invalid host name in my tnsnames.ora file as a simple test, the section of the resulting trace file of interest looks like this:
(5840) [11-MAY-2010 11:10:08:581] nttbnd2addr: entry
(5840) [11-MAY-2010 11:10:08:581] snlinGetAddrInfo: entry

(5840) [11-MAY-2010 11:10:10:834] nsc2addr: error exitSo, you can clearly see the 12545 in this trace and the file will have lots of other information such as the tnsnames.ora file used, etc.

Hi,
i don't have a solution for your problem but i want to share with you my research in using Database Links with XE/Apex.
I have done it a in a lot of projects and in most of all cases it shows a strange behavior when using Database Links via Apex. As far as i know SQL-Request in Apex are executed via the DBMS_SQL-Package. And that seems to be source for all errors and strange behaviors you get.
If you post a SQL-Request directly from your XE, everything's fine. If you do the same from APEX, sometimes it is very slow and sometimes it fails.
So, my approach to this issue is to work with Materialized Views. Your can create MV's on your XE to reference your remote tables and even schedule refreshes. In Apex, you only work with these MV's instead of the remote tables. And everything's going to be fine!
Hope this helps!

ORA-12705 Error Message while trying to connect to the DB

A colleague of mine has been trying to connect to the DB through PL/SQL Developer. The error message returned is :
ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
Checked the registry for NLS_LANG which is set to NA. I did that because the ORA message references the NLS_LANG parameter. However, I doubt that is the problem. Went about to create a new TNS Name entry through Oracle NET Manager and get the same Error Message while performing the TEST function.
Any clues ? I am clueless at this point.

This can occur with any NLS_ environment variable of registry value.
Your assertion ' the ORA message references the NLS_LANG parameter' is incorrect.
You can set NLS_TERRITORY, NLS_DATE_FORMAT etc, etc, etc.
The order of precedence is environment variable, registry, Oracle provided default.
To find out what is going on set every NLS related environment variable to the empty string.
In sqlplus
select * from v$nls_valid_values
will show you what can be set,
This error will also occur when you installed the software with English as the only language.
SQL developer doesn't use tnsnames.ora
The new tnsname entry has nothing to do with it.
You have an incorrect environment variable or registry value somewhere

First, when I tried to create a connection, I got the errors:

Then, I add this lines to my jdev.conf:

It seems like I got the same errors that I got at first time when I was trying to create a connection.....
I also downloaded the ojdbc14.jar for my oracle database version, and replace it with the one in ..../jdbc/lib. However nothing works, I can create the connection, I could browse any database object in the Jdeveloper enviroment, but when I run the application, no thing works....
Asking for help please

Hi user538543 , i've had the same situation and solved

ORA-12705 in Oracle AS (10.1.3) Creating DataSource OEM.

Hi,
I Upgraded oracle Application Server to Oracle AS 10g (10.1.3) without changing on oracle DB version and can´t create a native datasource using Oracle Enterprise Manager. The error when test conexion is:
Exception occurred testing connection. Exception: java.sql.SQLException:

I introduce the same data what in AS 9.0.4 (work fine).

sql*plus work fine.
I tried change NLS_LANG, locale, user.language ... but can´t solve the problem.
Would you please tell me what these errors can be related to?
Regards,

Which platform did this happen on?
It might be related to a JDBC bug. First, try setting this option when starting OC4J:
-Duser.region=US
If it doesn't help, also check your ORACLE_HOME, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LANG, NLS_LANG settings to make sure they reflect the OracleAS 10.1.3 install and the correct locale.
If you use non-US locale, you might also need orai18n.jar in your classpath.

Embed test throwing ORA-00604 and ORA- 12705 errors

Hi,
I've setup a JEE application and when tried to make a connection the IDE was throwing errors
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA- 12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
That I fixed adding two entrances in the jdev.conf file
AddVMOption -Duser.region=us

how can I fix this in a jdev 10.1.3.4?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
First, a question. How do I file a bug with customer support?
Then, back to the problem.
I have installed on a Windows Vista system the database. The windows system is set in Spanish and the database is an express edition 10.2.1015
The JDeveloper's version where I have setup the project is 10.1.3.4.0
The original value for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_XE/NLS_LANG entrance was LATIN AMERICAN SPANISH_ECUADOR.WE8MSWIN1252, and now I have changed it to the result from querying from dual AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8, with SELECT USERENV('LANGUAGE') FROM DUAL;
I did this, because so I understood from the [error description|http://ora-12705.ora-code.com/]
I also looked for a key like ORA_NLSxx in the registry, but not found
Also checked the ORACLE_HOME and the path does lead me to the oracle installation and there is the nls folder
But still showing the same error
Please let me know if more info is needed.
Thanks in advance.

SQL*Plus Installation Problem (Ora-12705)

Hi,
I bought a guide to sql featuring Oracle by phillip J.Pratt published by course Technology include Oracale8i Personal Edition realease 8.1.5 for Microsoft Window 98 and Oracle Developer 6.0. I follow the documentation to install. I think i got right configuration (i have the tnslsnr window display and Oracle8i database started) but when I login (user:system and password:manager)it doen't work and it give me the error Ora-12705: invalid or unknow NLS parameter value specified. What can i do with this? I appreciate for yours help.

I got this error message too when I install the 9i client in my pc. You can find the NLS_LANG in the registry under \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE. If you have multiple oracle home, you might need to check each of the entry.
I found that the value for NLS_LANG is NA and I changed it to
9i: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
oracle form 6i : AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
This fixed my sqlplus problem, and I hope it helps.

I found that the value for NLS_LANG is NA and I changed it to
9i: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
oracle form 6i : AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
This fixed my sqlplus problem, and I hope it helps.

SQLLDR & host = ORA-12705 invalid NLS
