NLS_LANG Character set Problem

[Former Member]

we have an app server that is not talking to CI+db(both on one machine) server. When i issued R3trans -d, the out put showed

4 ETW000 [dev trc ,00000] got NLS_LANG='AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8DEC' from environment

4 ETW000 50 0.091779

4 ETW000 [dev trc ,00000] Client NLS settings: AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII 8097 0.099876

4 ETW000 [dev trc ,00000] Logon as OPS$-user to get SAPR3's password 50 0.099926

I am unsure where Client NLS settings is getting picked up from despite the env variable for NLS_LANG for both oraSId and SIDadm set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8DEC

R/3 4.7 with oracle 9.2.0.6.0 on Sun Solaris 5.9

Any ideas

Regards

Hi..

check your env variable, it should be--

ORA_NLS33=/oracle/EWP/920_64/ocommon/nls/admin/data

if using 64 bit oracle.

I faced the same problem and it resolved.

Do step as follows--

1. Reboot the system.

2. check for above env variable.

3. now try to start SAP.

Hi,

Please check your oracle client settings. Please also refer these two threads.

Please also paste the env variables for <SID>ADM and <ORA>SID, if the problem persists.

Hi,

Please refer to following SAP note.

Note 592657 - ORA-12701/ORA-12705/ORA-12709

If still your problem persists, please provide complete trans.log

thanks

when i issued ldd dbsoraslib* in kernel directory..there is no output.

we are on oracle 9.2

and our LD_LIBRARY_PATH has no double reference..it has been set correctly.

I am think more in the lines of why is the client NLS_LANG showing US7ASCII when the parameter has been set to use NLS_LANG='AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8DEC'

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
