32bit client on same box as 64 bit RDBMS - Windows

I tried doing this on a 64bit box, but couldn't get the 32 bit client to connect to the 64bit listener. I need the 32bit client for 32bit ODBC and another 32 bit app. Can these coexist on the same box? I used different Oracle Homes. I think all I need to do is get the network config tool to link up to it properly, but I don't know how.
Any thoughts? Worst case would be database reinstall with 32bits.
Thx
Jeff

Hopefully you installed in separate ORACLE_HOMEs.
How is your firewall configured? Try turning that off totally while testing.
Each client (and the database install includes a client) has it's own networking configuration. That configuration is in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora ... I'm guessing you never bothered to configure the TNSNAMES.ORA in the 32 bit directories.
By the way, it is only polite to provide real detailed operating system information and Oracle software version information when asking technical questions. For some silly reason I can not see your screen and therefore can only guess whether your problem is in configuration or possibly some incompatibility.

Timesten 32 & 64 on a same box (Windows, 64bit)

Hello !
I need to setup TimesTen configuration on Intel 64bit Windows which should consists of 32bit client ( java application is strongly 32 bit) and 64bit TT server.
It's everything OK when installing 32bit OR 64bit version of TT. But if i tries to istall 32 bit AFTER 64 bit, installer complains on existing 64bit installation.
Could you give any suggestions to accomplish this task ?

Most TimesTen functionality is identical on Unix/Linux and Windows. Unfortunately, this one aspect is significantly different. If this is something you'd like to see changed then you should contact your Oracle sales/technical account representative and ask them to file an Enhancement Request.

Oracle 11g 32bit Client

TNS:protocol adapter error (32bit client/64 bit 11g server on same machine)

I have Oracle 11g Server (x64) installed on my Windows 7 system and it was working fine. I could connect through SQL*Plus and perform all my database needs. I have since installed software that requires a 32 bit client and have installed both 11g and 10g clients into their own home directories. (Long story short, I found out that one software suite was not compatible with the 11g client and so had to install 10g.) I find that if I force the use of the SQL*Plus in the server directory (opening a CMD prompt directly at the BIN directory) that I can connect fine without the need of a TNS alias. However, if I use the default (10g due to its placement in the PATH environment variable) it requires me to use the TNS alias to connect to my local database. This is also true if I force the use of the 11G client.
I have checked my tnsnames.ora and my sqlnet.ora files and they match up to what is being used in the server home. I'm missing something though. Anyone have a suggestion for me?

Not entirely correct.
If TWO_TASK is not set, this connection is an IPC (direct client process to server process) connection.
The client needs a dedicated server process to service it. As it does not connect via a Listener, there is no Listener that can create that server process to service the client.
So for an IPC connection, the client needs to start its own dedicated server process for servicing it. It uses ORACLE_HOME in order to find +./bin/oracle+ to start as a dedicated server process. On Linux/Windows, a kernel call (like <i>execv</i>) is used by the client driver to start a dedicated server process. I think in Windows the CreateRemoteThread() call is used by the Windows OCI driver to start a dedicated server process to service it.
This dedicated server process uses ORACLE_SID to determine the SGA to attach to and database instance to join.
This cannot happen across 32bit and 64bit boundaries in Linux/Unix. And I would be very surprised if this is possible in Windows as kernel IPC is not possible to my knowledge between 32bit process VMs and 64bit process VMs in the NT kernel.
To make a "local" connection work from a 32bit client to a 64bit instance on the same platform, set TWO_TASK to a TNS alias that defines a localhost/local IP TCP connection, in the 32bit environment. A sqlplus user/password (IPC) will now in fact be a sqlplus user/password@<TWO_TASK> (TCP) connection.
A shared server connection by the way has the client being serviced by a dispatcher process. A dispatcher process is only able to service (communicate with) clients via TCP. Thus shared server connections are only possible via the Listener. A local (IPC) connection is always a dedicated server connection.

32bit client on windows 2003 server R2 64bit running oracle 10g release 2

Hello,
could you please help me ?
I have a windows 2003 r2 sp2 64 bit server on witch oracle 10g release 2 64 bit is installed.
So far no issue.
I need to have a 32bit client installed on the same server to be able to run some applications on the server, but my applications won't start telling me that TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
my tnsnames.ora seem correct both in the db_1\network\admin directory and in client_1db_1\network\admin directory.
both Sqlplus(client_1 10.2.0.1 and db_1 10.2.0.3) return a connection.
I don't know where the problem could be coming from
Thanks a lot

X64 Server and x32 Client on Same Machine

I have a 32-bit application I need to run on 64-bit machine (Windows). The application crashes as it can't load the 64-bit oci.dll.
Would I be able to install the 32-bit Oracle client on this machine to get this application to work?
Note that the client will be on the same machine as the server.

According to certification matrix (metalink) 32bit clients (9.2 and higher) are supported on 64bit servers. Of course in their own ORACLE_HOME.

Discoverer 10g installed with Ora Apps 11i on same box

I've worked through the "coexistence restrictions" for Discoverer 10g (9.0.4) and 9iR1 (1.0.2.2.x) which states:
"The following instances of Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) and Oracle9i Application Server Release 1 (1.0.2.2.x) can coexist on the same computer only after Oracle9iAS Discoverer has been shutdown in the Oracle9iAS Release 1 (1.0.2.2.x) Oracle home:
1.0.2.2.x Standard Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms
1.0.2.2.x Enterprise Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms
1.0.2.2.x Standard Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms without OracleAS Infrastructure 10g
1.0.2.2.x Enterprise Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms without OracleAS Infrastructure 10g"
Does this imply that I can install 11i on a box, permanently shut down Discoverer and then ON THE SAME BOX install 10g Infrastructure and Midtier including Discoverer 10g?
Has anyone worked through this installation and made it work?
Thanks

This IS possible and have now done it with assist from Oracle tech support.
1. Install 64-bit 10.2.0.1 Databse into OraDb_home.
2. Install 32-bit 10.2.0.1 Client (needs Windows ODBC extensions) into OraClient_home.
3. Apply patch 5500954 for 64-bit - this is a Critical Bug patch 8 for 64-bit.
4. Apply patch 5337014 for 32-bit - this is a patchset to upgrade the Client to 10.0.2.0.3.
5. Contrary to what Oracle note 334528.1 says (which is to patch the 64-bit Server, you must patch/upgrade the 32-bit client as well (otherwise, it still fails).
Also, DataDirect's Connect Ver 5.2 ODBC Oracle "wire-driver" (32-bit version) will work without installing the OraClient at all.

Attempting to install Forms 6.0.5.0.2 (or 6.0.8.8.0) run-time and 8.1.6 client on sam

Attempting to install Forms 6.0.5.0.2 (or 6.0.8.8.0) run-time and 8.1.6 client on same NT box.
1) I attempted to install 8.1.6 client first in c:\oracle\ora81, then Forms 6 in c:\oracle\forms6. The installer (3.3.1.2.4) errors, saying forms 6 does not support a multi-home installation.
2) Attmpted to install Forms 6 first in c:\orant. Then installed 8.1.6 client in c:\oracle\ora81. After beginning installation (application user) the following Dependency message displays and the installation is canceled: "Installation cannot continue for the follwoing reason(s). [Oracle ODBC Driver is a single Oracle home product. It is already installed in location c:\oracle\ora81. Oracle provider for OLE DB is a single oracle home product.

You can either de-install these products or install the products in the same location as the single home products."
Click ok and the installation cancels.
How do I install these two products on the same box?

We had to upgrade from 7.3.2 to 7.3.4 when we moved over to Forms
6.0.5.0.2 and it's working fine.
We are using Net 8 as well.

Multiple Portals on same box???

Hello,
Just looking for thoughts, SAP reccomendations on putting multiple EP7 portals on the same box. I think this is supported by SAP. Would this be done on seperate java instances?
Basicly we want to map our portal environment to R3 Clients.
Would something like this work?
QA R3 Client 110 - Testing Client
Portal: http://portalqa110testing.company.com:50000/irj/portal
QA R3 Client 310 - Training Client
Portal: http://portalqa310training.company.com:50010/irj/portal
All on same box. Any suggestions, warnings, etc are appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug

Hi,
Do you mean that you want to install multiple EP servers on same OS?
If so please dont do that, I have seen problems with windows services and also with SAP MMC.
But if you can do server provisioning on the machine ( VMWare), then that should be fine.

Can E-RECRUITING share the same box of ECC?

I always install E-RECRUITING on a dedicated server as an ABAP application. Then connect to its backend ECC.
Just curious, can I install E-RECRUITING on the same box where its backend ECC system is installed? ECC and E-RECRUITING will have
different SIDs but co-exist in one Oracle MCOD DB.
Further more, can E-RECRUITING and its backend ECC belong to the same SID but on different clients?
Thanks for help.

Yes and yes. The first scenario is comparable to I2-A and the second one to I2-B. See the application help for details.

Installation of Oracle Client 32 bit on Windows 64 bit

Hi ,
I'm trying to install the 32 bit Oracle client (release 11.2.0) on a Windows server with 64 bit (Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Service Pack 1).
It's my understanding that this is supported and should work. However, the 64 bit Oracle client (release 11.2.0) is already installed on the server.
We need the 32 bit client since an older application requires this.
The GUI for the install of the client starts fine - but when the step "Finish installation" the GUI suddenly disappeares. The logfile of the installation ends
with
INFO: Setting the value for INSTALL_TYPE variable
INFO: Variable "INSTALL_TYPE" wird auf "InstantClient" festgelegt. Der Wert wurde von der Befehlszeile empfangen.

I'm executing the installation as a local admin - I've tried the installation with setting the compatibility mode to Windows 2000. No success at all :-(
Did I get it wrong that ths 32 bit client is certified with this windows version? Does anybody have experience with the same situation?
Any help will be appreciated!

Install Oracle 11.2.0.3 32Bit Client on Window 7 x64

Good morning,
I just tried to install the new Oracle 11.2.0.3 32Bit Client on Windows 7 x64, most of it
works - just the OLEDB drivers are not registered ... does anyone know
how to register them manually ? the 11.2.0.2 Client works fine ....
And please don't answer "use the 64 Bit client". This is not the solution - since I have
a lot of programs that still need the 32 Bit Client ...
By the way the update from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3 does not work ... the installer fails ....
Thanks for any info.

Standby Database Creation in the same Box Oracle 9.2.0.1

Box - Sun Solaris 64 bit
Oracle Version - 9.2.0.1
I have a database called 'sales' in the above box. I want to create a standby database in the same box (in different mount point). This is what I did:
1. took cold backup of all datafiles
2. created standby controlfile
3. updated init file.
-when I tried to start the stabdby db, it is throwing error because the controlfile is confusing with the same db name as the primary ('sales').
My question is: Can I create a standby db in the same box?

Hello,
For keeping the standby database on same HOST....it does seems to be great...i must be on separate box....may be on different network...i believe you would be using it for some failiover purpose...Isn't it.
For Unix it is quite easy..you may implement like this...The Issue which you are referring may be because of wrong Oracle Home or SID....(i'm not very much sure..) You may try following steps:
1. Create a separate Unix A/c and set ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID relevant to your StandBy Database. I believe the Home would be same whereas SID would be your standby databse.
2. Take a Cold Backup of All your database files from Production.
3. Copy these files on separate mount points for standby Db. Put them all to relevant directory and be sure to set the Group of all these files as "SYSDBA" This is Must.
4. And then modify your INIT.ORA file i.e. InitSID.ora file accordingly and put the file in ORACLE_HOME
5. Login to Newly created Unix A/c. Check whether ORACLE_SID is set ot not to your standby database instance.
6. Login to sys as sysdba and start up the database. It will by default would try to check & do for your relevant Oracle SID for this profile...

2 clients of 1 apo system connecting to 2 clients in same ECC system

Hi
We have a requirement at our end as below-
1)We have 2 clients in our APO Developement system and they are using BW functionality of APO
2)These 2 clients need to talk to 2 different client in our ECC System for ex:- APD has 2 clients(100 & 200) and ECC has two clients(101 and 201).
We need APD 100 to talk to ECC client 101 and APD client 200 talking to ECC client 201.
The query is - Is this possible to do the same .
If yes,can anyone guide me with some required documents

Hi sunny
One more query :-
The scenario is we want to connect 2 APO systems to 2 different clients of same ECC box
For Ex:-
ECC 100 ---> APD100
ECC 200 ---> APT200
There is only 1 ECC box with 2 clients.
I am not sure if we have some restrictions with regards to BW of APO connecting to 1 ECC box.
Do you have any idea if there are some issues while doing it as we will have 2 APO-BW client talking to 2 clients in ECC
Thanksbasisadmin
