Configuring NLS_LANG as an Environment Variable (Windows)
Configuring NLS_LANG as an Environment Variable (Windows)
You can set NLS_LANG as a system or user environment variable in the system properties, although Informatica does not recommend this approach. All Oracle Homes use the configured setting.
To check and modify system or user environment variables, perform the following steps:
Right-click
My Computer
, and then select
Properties
.
On the
Advanced
tab, click
Environment Variables
.
The User variables list contains the settings for the currently logged-in Windows user.
The System variables list contains system-wide variables for all users.
Change settings as needed.
Because these environment variables take precedence over the parameters specified in the Windows Registry, avoid setting Oracle parameters at this location unless you have a good reason. In particular, note that the ORACLE_HOME parameter is set on UNIX but not on Windows.
