32 bit to 64 bit upgrade in Windows x86_64 on Oracle

Please suggest an approach for 32 bit to 64 bit migration on Windows/Oracle combination 9i.
PAM indicates that, Oracle runs in 64bit mode only in 10g version
This would require an oracle upgrade.
Please suggest an approach when your database size is huge.

Hi Markus,
Let me cleary explain the sceanrio,
I have a Sandbox 4.6C , Oracle 9.2.0.8 with Windows 2003 Server on 32 bit with over  1 TB of data.
Now i have a brand new x86_64 bit hardware with Windows 2003 Server 64 bit OS install.
I have to use this to make a System Copy of the current Sandbox and upgrade it ECC 6.0.
How do i plan this, it is quite confusing???
There are two things here
a) 32 bit to 64 bit migration
b) Oracle 10g upgrade
Plan a)
Make an Export of the current 9i 32 bit database , fresh install of Oracle 10g  64 bit on the new 64 bit server and import the whole data
But the only problem is huge data to export.
Plan b)
  Make a homogeneous sytem copy since it is Windows 32 bit to Windows 64 bit and then upgrade to Oracle 10g. This requires me to install Oracle 32 bit 9i on a 64 bit hardware, is it SAP recommended??
How do i do this??

  • Hi, I am running CC in 32 bits and planning to upgrade to Windows 8.1. Will I be able to upgrade CC to 64bit within my current membership ?

    Dear all
    I read that LR 6 will not work on my current Windows 7 32 bits installation. So I am thinking about upgrading to Windows 8.1 (64 bits). I guess it will also be very beneficial for PS.
    My question is: am I entitled to upgrade my CC to 64 bits with my current membership ?
    Thank you very much
    Michel

    CC doesn't care for "bit-ness" as a licensing criteria. Users who already run 64 bit systems have access to all versions, including native 64bit as well as 32bit. thus you will simply install the programs just like on your current system with no extra hocuspocus and they will default to the 64bit versions where available. That being so, the bigger concern should be to have compatible versions of your plug-ins or any device drivers e.g. for printers.

  • I have a sony laptop with windows 7 (64 bit) which I upgraded to windows 8 64 bit. But the machine had to be formatted and this time loaded windows 8 32 bit. Now I have tried itunes for 32bit win 8 as well as for 64bit win 8 but none is getting installed

    I have a sony laptop with window 7 64 bit initially which I upgraded to windows 8 64 bit. But due to formatting later, I had to reinstall the windows and this time I installed windows 8 32 bit. Now I have tried installing iTunes for 64 bit windows 8 as well as 32 bit Windows 8 but none of them is getting installed. The message I get is, "this programme is not compatible for your pc" (or words to that affect since I dont remember the exact words but this is the meaning).
    Can some body send me the link to the right file please. I need iTunes to transfer files from my iPod and iPhone to my laptop.

  • HP Deskjet F2120 all in one printer driver not installing after upgrading to Windows 7

    I have a HP Deskjet F2120 all in one printer. I was working fine in Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    Once I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit the driver is failing to install.
    I have tried all the solutions provided on the HP website but none of them worked.
    I also wrote a mail to HP support but they replied that its out of warranty hence they will not be able to help.
    If some genius can help me I will pray for him/her that all his/her wishes come true.
    Thanks you in advance.

    I just got my HP Deskjet F2120 working in Windows 7.  Here's how:
    Insert the setup disk in your CD/DVD drive.  Choose to view the files in Explorer.  Scroll down to the file "Setup," which is identified as an application.
    Right-click the file and select "Properties." Click the "Compatibility" tab at the top of the resulting window.
    Check off "Run this program in compatability mode for:" and choose "Windows Vista" from the pop-up menu.
    ALSO check "Run this program as administrator" at the bottom of the window.
    Press "Apply," then "OK."
    Now you can double-click the "Setup" file and run the software installer.
    It will 100% work inshallah...

  • I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

    I ended up putting it in DFU mode.  It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
    Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
    So I used redsn0w.  I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
    Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

    Hi there,
    Specs: as per Qosmio X 300. SSD 110GB, pentium core 4 extreme, 4 Gb RAM, plenty free storage on SSD (29GB), NVidia drivers with primary being GE Force 9800 M GTS, Direct X10.  there is also a note down the bottom saying that if i have linked graphic cards (whihc i do i believe there are three), that i can expect better perfomrance with some software.
    Ok I aplogise from the outset, i am a layman and not that techie. K.  So the issue that I upgraded recently (last week) from vista ultimate 64 bit to windows 7 64 bit. ultimate.  For the main, I am reasonably happy with the outcome in most areas - except gaming that is. I have increased speed and agility and the processor is now rated at 7.2. WEI. overall the laptop is rated at 5.8. however, getting back to teh reason for writing, I have nothing negative to say about windows 7 (as compared to its predecessor) apart from wishing to resolve my game crash issue. which usually occurs about 15 mins - 20 mins into a game and comes in the form of a shutdown ? BSOD from whence the laptop reboots when prompted at on/off and wants to know if to start normally or in various safe modes. I have noticed that the laptop does become very hot at the back (around the fans) prior to teh shutdown, and i am wondering if this is an overheating issue, and how to resolve if this is the case. the only other thing i have noticed that seems untoward is that i have apparently lost a wireless jump start driver from the upgrading process which i cannot find anywherre, and may be totally unrelated to this issue anyway.
    All i want to do is play the games i could play on windows vista ultimate 64 bit. these include: Sims 3, sims 3 world adventures, sims 3 ambitions, highloft end stuff, and Bioshock. Oddly enough, i have played sid meyers civillisations revolutions IV (the latest one) with no crashes, and i havent tried ANNO 1404, but fear a similar fate may await this game as some of the others.
    Addditional information:
    everything is as i described it above, however the screen does not go blue but black,and the laptop shuts itself down,  laptop acts as if hibernating mode? (these are guesses) or some mechanism geared at preventing over heating - the back becomes very hot.  the machine can be rebooted from normal mode but comes up firstly with a screen suggesting that the laptop was incorrectly shutdown, and offers options as to safe mode, normal etc. i have been starting normally with no adverse effects.   This is scenario one.
    scenario two ends up similarly at teh reboot stage, but gets there differently. i play the game and the screen freezes, unable to move touchpad curser, unalbe to use ctrl alt del to get up task manager. end up having to crash to reboot.
    I am quite frustrated and very reluctant to mess around with things that i dont understand (dont want to make the problem worse!). I am happy to attemtpt to follow your good explicit advice.
    the only other negative thing i am expereinceing is screen flicker on internet. I have changed my power mode from high performance to balanced to try to nullify the overheating issue but i now am noticing this screen flicker which is irriating and appears on keystroke, or cursor movement.
    Please note well:  I am a layman, not a technician! Please explain in easy to (dummy) terms! Thanks!
    kind regards

  • Premiere Pro CS3: Many Problems Fixed By Upgrading to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I recently installed an SSD drive and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
    Installing the Adobe Master Collection CS3 went smoothly and only took a few minutes instead of an hour, as in the past.
    Premiere, for the first time in the years I've used it, runs STABLE. Not only that, but I can have AfterEffects open at the same time. And Maya 2008. And everything chugs along smoothly.
    Case in point tonight: Multicam Editor: Under XP, it worked, but the quality of the video displays would be badly pixellated when video was playing. Under Windows 7, all the four viewports plus the 'online' viewport are sharp and clear and I can see if a camera is slightly out of focus, which was impossible to detect in the past until I watched the finished result.
    The audio dropouts everyone complained about for years are a thing of the past.
    And here's the biggie: I can render, render, render and keep rendering h.264 files and Premiere keeps ticking. Under XP, 2 to 3 files and that's it. Unknown Error would be the next render result. Under W7-64, I rendered all night and day without shutting or restarting Premiere, and I even had Maya and AE going and was working in them at the same time, something I could never do in XP because it would run out of RAM. And I can do this in 4GB ram! With 8GB, AE renders 3.5X faster, but most other programs remain about the same. I figure in the case of AE, it has EXCLUSIVE use of 4GB ram all to itself on an 8GB system. At any rate, die-hard CS3 users, don't be afraid to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit.
    The only thing you need to do differently is put the Postscript fonts in Adobe's fonts folder, as it won't see the Windows\Fonts-located PS fonts.
    My 2008-vintage editing workstation breaths new life, like a major hardware upgrade was done. The "$139 system performance upgrade" I call it. (Sure, adding the Intel 320 SSD helps, but mainly with launching programs--once they're running, the main improvement comes from Windows 7 64-bit.)

    2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033 (both on the mac/windows partitions (actually using a parallel to run Windows)), error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Windows
    So the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I just try and install windows 8 through my windows 7 partition and see if I can use the bootcamp 5.05033. Or do I solely have to use the bootcamp to install Windows 8? I'm not too familiar with bootcamp and how it runs.

    if you're using parallels and full bootcamp then you're making it 100% more troublesome for youself then it needs to be
    bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware this give full memory and cpu and 3d video game power
    running windows in parallels is running a virtual machine where one can't run powerful games and the like but one can have it in a window and change fast between osx and windows
    parallels as the only virutal machine (as far as I know) support not have the operating system as a file on the osx harddisk but can access a bootcamp parition as virtual machine but without the benefits bootcamps provides
    it's a service parallels provide for those who want both to play games in normal bootcamp and sometimes use windows in a virutal machine
    just install it like a normal virtual machine and you need not worry about bootcamp drivers and the likes
    plus it would mean that the windows part would be a part of the timemachine bacup of osx
    which it is not when it's in bootcamp

    Hey everyone, 
    I want to install windows 8 32bit on my mac pro (mid 2012). I upgraded the windows 7 I already had, but now I dont have drivers at all...

    Thanks a lot.
    Sincerely,
    Chiponn

    There's been an update for OSX ML which addresses the issue for installing Windows 8 on bootcamp.
    It's NOT recommended that you Upgrade.. However, the way to get the drivers is:
    You'll need an external USB drive formatted as FAT for this.
    1) In OSX, start the Bootcamp Assistant
    2) Press Next
    3) UNTICK 'Remove WIndows 7 or Later Version'
    4) TICK Download the Latest Windows Support Software from Apple
    5) Insert USB drive
    6) Press CONTINUE
    The drivers should download, and copy a WIndowsSupport folder onto the USB drive.
    I did notice that Windows 8 still requires beta drivers for some aspects such as VGA (the Radio HD Card), which you can get on the AMD website.
    Futhermore, why are you using Windows 8 "32" bit when you blatently have a powerful 64bit?
    Anyway, hope this post helps ;-)

  • Upgrading from Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 8.1 64 bit

    I have Windows 7 32 bit. Recognizing I can't upgrade to 64 bit and over write the 32 bit system my question
    I have multiple SSD. My existing winn7 occupies C:\
    Can I install the new windows 8.1 64 bit on a separate drive and then rename it to the C:\ drive
    or
    Should I disable the existing win 7 root drive. Go through the boot process of starting Win8.1 in the CD, having it designate C:\ etc and continue the install. Then re-connect (if I need too) the other SSD for the data files
    Or, should I shut up and let you advise me the best way to convert to Windows 8.1 64 bit with an existing Windows 7 32 bit :)

  • Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit upgrade

    I will be getting a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5983 Laptop, and it has only 3gb's of DDR2 RAM, so it comes with Windows 7 32-bit, but I want more RAM, and I was going to add 2gb's more, so i could run 64-bit. Does anyone know any way I could upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit? And if not, will the computer recognize the two extra gig's of RAM and use them, and still run 32-bit ok? Because I heard that the computer needed 3gb's of ram for 32-bit, and even if you added more RAM to it the computer wouldn't recognize it and would just run on the 3gb's already installed. I would really like an answer!

    Hi BlargeMan,
    As Mark said, if you would like to install Windows 7 x64 bit over x32 version, you need perform a clean installation.
    Regarding the recommended System Requirements for Windows 7, please refer to this thread: Windows 7 min. system requirements.
    As to the RAM in x32 bit version operating systems, if you have more than 4GB RAM, it will only recognized a portion of the physical 4GB of RAM (ranges from 2.75GB to 3.5GB depending on the devices installed, motherboard's chipset & BIOS). If you would like to know more information about this, please refer to this website.
    Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
    In addition, before you install Windows 7, it is recommended running Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to check the potential issues.
