64 bit vs 32 bit question

Say on a Windows 7 operating system does one have to have a 32 bit client and odac on a 32 bit system and on a 64 bit system have a 64 bit client and odac?
Thanks in advance

On 32bit Windows 7 you need the 32bit Oracle client and ODAC. On 64bit Windows, since you can run both 32bit and 64bit programs, you can run either or both of the 32bit and 64bit Oracle clients. It depends on the client program. If your program is 32bit, it needs the 32bit Oracle client. If it's 64bit it needs the 64bit client.

  • Bit of a strange question regarding security and internet connection

    This is a bit of an odd question so bear with me for a moment.
    I sold my old G4 to someone I didn't know yesterday. While he was looking at it to make sure it was working I allowed him to plug my ethernet cable in (connected to both a netgear router and a cable modem) and go online to install an application on the computer he was buying. It did't take long and I didn't actually see what he installed but after he left and I plugged back in to my mac pro, my internet connection started suffering. It started by being very slow and then timing out with servers. I reset the modem and even bypassed the router but the connection did not improve and eventually I could only get a self assigned IP address with no internet, although the modem appeared to be fine.
    Aside from finding my I.P. address at my location, is there anything else he could have compomised security wise, either in the name of harvesting some kind of info or just creating a problem in the cable network when I let him use my connection on the g4?
    I think that most likely I'm being a little paranoid but the timing of this is a bit strange. It literally went down hill just after he left.
    Today the cable company is reporting a wider internet outage than just me but I just though I'd throw it out there to see if there are any security wholes exploitable when someone uses your internet connection (I would think and hope that there are not).
    thanks a bunch

    Well, in the closing the stable door approach it is a good idea to do a complete erase and install when selling any computer. There's lots of references to this and even one about removing a certain file so when they start up they get the brand new Mac greeting window. If you do not erase the drive using the secure erase feature in Disk Utility then with an $80 investment plus an empty spare drive the purchaser can likely recover any files you had on the computer recently if they consider it worth the effort.
    I suspect the internet issue is not related to this, especially since your ISP commented about problems.

  • Bit Of An Odd Question.

    Hi Everyone, I have a bit of an odd question but my friend gave me his old version of photoshop cs5 with the product key i was wondering if i could register it under my name at all?

    If that copy has been used in any upgrade path, then it is no longer valid.
    Also, Adobe has paperwork, that must be filled out, to transfer ownership of valid licenses. I would have your friend complete that paperwork for the gifted copy. Adobe Customer Support can get them the necessary paperwork. Once, that transfer could be done via FAX, but not sure what the process might be now.
    Good luck,

  • 16-bit and 12-bit audio question during editing

    This will sound more like a camera question, but I didn't know if it will be part of editing video with Pre7. I read this on a web blog and was wondering if there is any truth to it. “Mini-DV amateur video cameras can record sound in 12-bit or 16-bit audio. 12-bit audio is used when you want to lay down another track on the video tape. But 12-bit audio can start to drift out of sync with some editing software. 16-bit audio is a stable setting.” Also, what is meant by laying down another track on the video tape?

    Paul,
    Yes, to the intended purpose of the 12-bit. Now, if one is going to do any editing, I'd strongly recommend not adding that soundtrack/musictrack to the tape. It will cause all sorts of problems in the edit, and is designed for one, who wishes to just show the tape on a TV.
    That's two votes against 12-bit Audio.

  • Creation of Add-on package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One Client

    Please help me creating package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One. If Add-on executable is compiled with x86 option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 32 bit SAP Business one and if Add-on executable is compiled with Any CPU option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 64 bit SAP Business one. Problems are mentioned as below
    1. My Add-on uses MS ACCESS connection and the connection is read using Jet OLEDB 4.0 provider. It works fine for x86 compile mode but not when compile mode is Any CPU. I searched for the issue on Google and found a solution to change MS ACCESS connection provider to ACE.OLEDB.12.0 but again ACE provider is installed according to the Office version i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit office suite. If I install 32 bit ACE provider then Add-on executable compiled with x86 version is working fine but with Any CPU option throws error as provider is not registered on current machine.
    2. Secodly, our license validation activex dll is build using vb 6.0 and therefore when Add-on executable is compiled using Any CPU option, Add-on EXE cannot read from license dll. Any suggestion, how the activeX dll can be compiled whose component can be created from for X86 compiled exe and any cpu compiled exe.
    Please help because we are stuck in this issue and cannot move forward.
    Thanks.

    Hi Alejandro,
    That is one solution but did your add on used ms access connection? if you used Jet oledb to connection string or ace oledb connection string? what if 32 bit office is installed and what if 64 office is installed? how did you found the office version in install script? after determining the office version how did you installed Microsoft redistributable for ace oledb (32 bit or 64 bi )?
    I am sorry that I asked many questions but these are the problems where I am stuck with the addon installer?
    Thanks

  • OWB 10g Release 2 from 32 bit to 64 bit on Linux

    Hi guys,
    I have a client who is planning to migrate their Linux server from 32 bit to 64 bit and migrate their Oracle database from 10.2.0.3 from 32 bit server to 10.2.0.3 from 64 bit server.
    We have OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) installed in the 32 bit server.
    Our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories.
    My question is,
    Will the following work?
    1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
    2. Remove all the OWB repository user schemas & roles from the database where OWB is installed
    3. Install the OWB repository in the new 64 bit server
    4. Import the .mdl backup of the project from existing OWB 32 bit to the new OWB 64 bit server
    5. Configure the project with the new server
    OR
    Since our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories
    1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
    Will I be able to access my repository that is migrated from the 32 bit server (avoiding the installation of OWB repository and importing the project and configuring the whole project in the new server) ?
    Please someone shed some light on this. Your help is appreciated
    Thanks in advance....

    Does this mean, ... we have to install the OWB 64 bit and install a new repository in the 64 bit server?In my opinion you don't need to create new repository.
    After migrating database to 64bit perform steps from Metalink note 434272.1 "How To Update Warehouse Builder 10.2 After A Database Cloning".
    It is better to save the same path for new OWB 64bit software. If you install OWB into different path you need to update OWBRTPS table with new path to OWB software (look at metalink note 550271.1).

  • Windows 7 activation key is working on 32-bit and 64-bit?

    Hello, I purchased a Ideapad U350 which came with a preinstalled copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit. Because I upgraded the RAM memory to 4GB but my 32-bit OS architecture use only 2,84GB, so I want to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium but 64-bit version. The question is (to avoid buying a whole new Win 7 license) will the product key that came with my copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit also work on a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit? Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You're right! I did not use a OEM version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit instead and this may be the reason why my OEM key for Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit was not accepted. Anyway, I reinstalled the 32-bit version which came on the hidden partition because few days ago I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit instead of Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit and RAM usable memory is the same: 2,84GB!!! I did a clean install formatting C: but I did not format and delete the hidden OEM partition which came with Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit. After installation usable RAM was 3,84GB. I installed critical & recommended windows updates + the software I'm using the most, restarted my PC and surprise: usable RAM was 2,84GB!!! So it's no use to install 64-bit version...my usable RAM is still 2,84. That's why I switched back to 32-bit version.

  • Upgrading Solaris 10 from 32-bit to 64-bit in a VirtualBox VM

    Hello,
    I am running 32-bit Sol 10 u5 x86 as a guest in a Sun VirtualBox (Vbox) virtual machine on a 32-bit WinXP host with 64-bit VT-capable Xeon processors, and am considering upgrading Solaris 10 to 64-bit using the latest version of Vbox (2.0.0). After installing WinXP Professional x64 and the 64-bit version of Vbox, will I have to completely re-install Sol 10 to get it to run in 64-bit, or is there some way to get it to 64-bit without a re-install? The Vbox forums suggested that I post this question on a Solaris forum, as they don't know the answer.
    They apparently also do not know if Windows XP x64 is a compatible host OS on which to run 64-bit guests. They list only Vista, Linux, and OpenSolaris as supported 64-bit host OSs. Has anyone used WinXP x64 as a host for Vbox 64-bit guests? Due to policy, Vista is not available to me on my system/network.
    Thank you...

    The x86 installer will place both 32-bit and 64-bit code on the disk.
    The loader fired by GRUB will attempt to detect the proper hardware and launch the correct kernel.
    Other portions of the upgrade could conceivably cause a problem, but having the CPUs go from 32-bit only to 64-bit capable shouldn't be an issue. You don't have to make any changes.

    how to check which version of hyperic is installed , hyperic 32 bit or 64 bit version on solaris

    If you have only a single home, the quickest/easiest way is probably just to check the properties of %ORACLE_HOME%\odp.net\bin\2.x\oracle.dataacess.dll
    Or are you asking how to check it at runtime?

  • Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit on Oracle 9.2.0.5

    Hi guys.
    I have two question for migration 32 bit to 64 (x86_64) bits on Oracle 9.2.0.5 for SAP 4.7 Enterprise?
    1.- When i migrated 32 bits to 64 (x86_64) bits is necesary migrated to Oracle 10 ?
    In the note SAP Note 960769 - Windows: Migration from 32-bit to 64-bit (x86_64), say that, pag 4:
    " Oracle:
    =====================================
    On Windows Server 2003 X86_64 (64-bit), you may only use Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2) software for X86_64 (64-bit) as a database. Note 949116 describes the installation (homogenous system copy) of old products that were not originally released on Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2). If you want to make the copy using the backup/restore procedure, for which the source database was not yet upgraded to Oracle 10.2, see Note 932722"
    But, in the pam matrix say that support for 9.2.
    I confused for the information.
    2.- In the case that is not necessary to migrate to oracle 10, i can execute the migration to 64 bits the SAP 4.7 with the procedure Backup/Restore?
    I don´t have the new server, the server for the migration is the same. The procedure you want to follow is:
    1.- Backup Offline all server.
    2.- Delete the server, i install the server on Windows 2003 64 bits.
    3.- Install SAP 4.7 on kernel 64 bits.
    4.- Restore de backup offline (only data): datafiles, archive log, redo log.
    Aprecciated for the help.
    Best regards,
    Desiré

    Hi,
    According to Note:814834
    #Note that there is currently no 64-bit support for the x86_64 platform
    for Oracle 9.2 because Oracle does not provide a 64-bit DB client for this purpose,
    and, in addition, 64-bit operation of the DB server is not supported.
    This means that this DB version can only be used in conjunction with SAP components on
    Windows 32-bit on x86_64 hardware in 32-bit mode.
    For more information, refer to the "Oracle" section in the note.
    Furthermore, it states 32bit SAP instance can connect ot a 32 bit Oracle 9.2 or 10.2 database instance.
    So for your case, its better to upgrade your current database to Oracle 10.2 and then proceed with migration.

  • Can I switch from Win7 32-bit to 64-bit by clean installing from hidden recovery partition?

    Hi all,
    I'm posting from Australia.
    Two weeks ago I purchased a new Toshiba laptop (http://tinyurl.com/ye6jkuq) with the following specifications:
    Model: Satellite L550
    Part number: PSLW8A-01101F
    BIOS:  V1.60
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU  P7450  @ 2.13GHz
    RAM: 4GB
    HDD: 500GB
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (pre-installed)
    My question is this:
    If I use the HDD Recovery Utility (the hidden recovery partition) to do a clean re-install of Win7 Pro, will I be given the choice during the re-installation process of installing either the 32-bit or 64-bit version? Or will I not get the choice and simply be restricted to the 32-bit version that came pre-installed?
    Any assistance or advice would be appreciated.
    Nick

    Satellite L550/011
    I can't say for certain, Nick, but it would be a real surprise if Toshiba packaged the restore procedure so that you have a choice of versions.
    If it matters, you should inquire at local Sales Support.

  • 32 bit vs 64 bit 11.1.1.3

    Need to install Essbase, Planning, FDM, maybe ODI. Since I will be needing FDM, I obviously need to stick to a Windows Server. My question is, from reading the documentation I am coming to the conclusion that sticking to a 32 bit Server is probably the most convenient solution given the fact that FDM, Financial Reporting,Shared Services binaries are all 32 bit, plus FDM cannot be on the same computer as EPMA 64 bit. Is this a valid conclusion? Does anybody have any input as to which is a safer route for 11.1.1.3 - 32 bit or 64 bit? (Safer meaning one which has the least possibility of errors occuring due to 32/64 bit concerns, and also most convenient to install and configure).
    Thanks.

    Yes, at this point it looks like Essbase, Planning, FDM will all go one one server for development purposes.
    Actually John on the oracle e-delivery site I just saw this morning a 64 bit edition of Planning. It's under EPMS 11.1.1.3.0 Media Pack for MS Windows x64. I know they didn't have it before, I guess they just came out with it. This is also why I was asking this question. So if Planning, Essbase are 64 bit on a 64 bit Server, will FDM work with them smoothly on the same machine, FDM being available only in 32 bit for now? (Well FDM wont work on the same machine if EPMA 64 bit is also installed, so thats one complication right there. That's officially stated by Oracle in their Platform Matrix, but my concern is who knows if another issue pops up down the line).
    Also, there is another complicated issue, which if you don't mind I posted on another thread under FDM, but I could really do with some input from someone like you:

    Summary : A security tool which provides authentication for applications
    Description :
    PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is a system security tool that
    allows system administrators to set authentication policy without
    having to recompile programs that handle authentication.
    Now customer is installing other oracle monitoring application which is looking/requesting for 32 bit version of pam-0.99.6.2.6.el5_4.1 (i386), i.e this library
    Question:
    So, is there any way we can install the 32 bit version of this ?  While 64 bit is still there ?
    Concern with installing the 32 bit library, is that something picks it up mistakenly when it expects the 64 bit version.

    You can run 32-bit software under a x86-64 OS provided you install the necessary x86 (32-bit) libraries.
    The x86_64 CPU is fully backwards compatible with Intel x86 16-bit and 32-bit code. Because the full x86 16-bit and 32-bit instruction sets remains implemented in hardware without any intervening emulation, existing x86 executables run with no compatibility or performance penalties (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64)
    An application that is 32-bit or 64-bit will have to be linked or share the appropriate library. 32-bit and 64-bit libraries won't be confused because they use different names.
