ORA-09241 Connecting from Windows

An ORA-09241 is optained when a front-end tool is unable to find the message files needed by the tool or SQL*NET

Solution:

---

1. Type SET at the DOS prompt an check to see that an environment variable called CONFIG has been set on your DOS client
2. If it has been set: Locate a copy of either a file called CONFIG.ORA or a file called ORACLE.INI (look in the %ORACLE_HOME% or Windows home directory for these files). Add the environment variable CONFIG to your DOS environment with: SET CONFIG=<path>\CONFIG.ORA or SET CONFIG=<path>\ORACLE.ini This should fix the problem. Be sure to EXIT Windows COMPLETELY before setting the CONFIG environment variable.
3. If the variable CONFIG has already been set and is pointing to ORACLE.INI and you are still getting an ORA-09241: Copy ORACLE.INI to another file named CONFIG.ORA (or anthing you wish) Add the environment variable CONFIG to your DOS environment with: SET CONFIG=<path>\CONFIG.ORA Be sure ti EXIT Windows completely before setting the CONFIG environment variable.
4. If steps 2 or 3 fix the problem, add the statement SET CONFIG to your AUTOEXEC.BAT

      NOTE: If you set CONFIG to point to ORACLE.INI, you may have some
            trouble installing things at a later date with the Oracle Installer.
            You will need to remove the SET CONFIG line from your autoexec.bat
            and reboot before starting the install.

5. If your problem persists, call Oracle Support.
