BEA Weblogic Interview Question:

Why do I get an error while trying to retrieve the text for ORA-12705?

Submitted by: Administrator

This error occurs when you have not set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable properly - a common mistake. In order to use WebLogic jDriver for Oracle, the Oracle client software needs to be installed and ORACLE_HOME must be set.
You may also see this error message if you try to use WebLogic jDriver for Oracle's internationalization capabilities with a language/codeset combination that is not installed on your system. If you get the ORA-12705 error with the correct error text, then either you have set NLS_LANG improperly, or you do not have the right codesets installed on your system.
