Licensing costs 32bit vs 64bit

Hi,
we are evaluating the pros and cons of designing a system based on 64bit vs. 32bit processors. Can anyone comment, based on their experience, is there a (substantial) difference in licensing costs for Oracle 10g depending on the processor type? Also, are there any other considerations to be taken into account between both versions of Oracle (Installation, stability of the product, etc)
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
the basic drawback of 64bits, it is more expensive in general terms (HW and possibly COTS products) than 32bit. We are not sure if the advantages are worth the effort, specially taking into cosideration that many of the applications we need to integrate in the system are COTS products which run on 32 bits. These apps wont be able to take full advantage of the 64bit architecture.
Thanks
JP.You shouldn't be running the apps on the same box as the db anyway, and a 64-bit db will happily serve 32-bit clients.

Does iTunes come with 32bit and 64bit install?

I have Windows 7 and it's a 32bit and 64bit Gaming Laptop G73SW.
I've done all the troubleshoot tips, which has just made my computer worse.eg all icons changed, things now missing, so probably have to do a System Retore to get it all back.
Every time i speak to Apple, they're suggestions just make my computer stuffed, iTunes takes over all my programs etc.
Simply put: Does iTunes come with a 32bit and 64bit Install??? If not i won't be using that program.
Which makes it hard for my line of work atm as an Alpha and Beta Games Tester for many Private Platforms i play on.

Well genius, it's either a 32bit or 64bit system, it cannot be both.

Install jre 32bit on 64bit system with error

Hello,
i try to install "jre-7u51-windows-i586.exe" (32bit) via CA IT Client Manager (Version 12.5) on serveral machines (64bit), OS MS Vista.
Error: .... cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
manually installation works without errors.
i need jre 32bit on 64bit!
thx in advance for your friendly suggestions!

Hello gimbal2,
i agreed with my CA-Support to ask for help here, after many trys to fix the issue.
we thought it would be a nice idea to ask oracle community - perhabs somebody know how to fix this prob.
The error was reportet by "Wow64 Emulation Layer"
this behavior we face since jre-7u45.
if that diskussion rings a bell, i would be happy to get rid of my installation prob.

Licensing cost: For SAP R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0 Upgrade

Hello,
I am planning to upgrade my SAP R/3 4.7 System to ECC 6.0.
I would like to know whether any additional Licensing cost is involved for this SAP software upgrade.
Also, I have three system landscape. Can you give me some pointers to SAP Upgrade Roadmap and Upgrade strategies for 3 system landscape upgrade?
Thanks.

Hi Nirav,
the maintenace cost will be the same as before.
the maintanance cost include the possibility
that if you pay the maintenace fee regularly you can always get the
newest software releadse and the support packages and kernel for it.

Distribution kit calling 32Bit or 64Bit executable

Hello,
my CVI app distribution calls an executable that installs a hardware driver. Unfortunately, that executable (DPInst.exe) has separate versions for 32bit and 64bit OSs.
Question:
can the distribution kit (CVI 2009) be configured to call e.g.
"DPInst32.exe" when my app gets installed on a32bBit system, and
"DPInst64.exe" on a 64bit system?
or
What would be an other solution for that kind of problem?
Thanks,
Greg

Hello Eren,
thanks for you feedback. I don't want to distribute and maintain different versions for 32bit and 64 bit OS of my CVI application, just because a small USB driver of an accessory has two versions. In the meantime, I came up with a different idea.
The distribution calls an executable that
a) checks wether it runs on a 32bit or 64bit OS
b) then calls the correct DPInst.exe version
This is quite easy:
I'm using this example code to check the OS version.
with that I call this code at the end of the installation:
void main()
char path[512];
int status;
status = GetDir (path);
   if(IsWow64()) strcat(path,"\\64bit\\");
   else strcat(path,"\\32bit\\");
status = SetDir(path);
LaunchExecutable ("DPInst.exe");
void main()
char path[512];
int status;
status = GetDir (path);
if(IsWow64()) strcat(path,"\\64bit\\");
   else strcat(path,"\\32bit\\");
status = SetDir(path);
LaunchExecutable ("DPInst.exe");
This should do the trick.
Best Regards,
Greg

Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit?

Which is better for my new mac book pro, Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit Ultimate? All I care about is all of my programs and games working properly. And what does 86x mean? Will one version of the bits work faster than the other?

Hi Konnexion,
There is another more important limit with 32-bit versions of Windows, and that is the limit of 2 GBS of RAM per process. Unless some tricks and tweaks are used (which can result in reduced stability), no matter how much physical RAM is installed, a single application can't use more than 2 GBs. This is important for applications that can use large amounts of RAM like video and picture rendering apps, and even some games these days (particularly in Vista).
On the other hand, the 64-bit version of Vista has a number of additional security enhancements over the 32-bit version, such as address-space layout randomization, mandatory driver signing. If you have the RAM (at least 4GBs) and games are not a priority, I would actually recommend using the 64-bit version. Of course, why would you be using Boot Camp, if it weren't for games LOL?

Oracle 10g XE migrate from 32bit to 64bit becomes slower

Oracle 10g XE migrate from 32bit to 64bit becomes slower
Currently we have a database using Oracle 10g XE R2
(Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0)
on a linux 32bit server.
And recently we did migrate it to another 64bit linux server.
But found after migration is it running slower at 64bit server (~ 25% slower)
1. We would wonder any tuning is required on 64bit server?
Besides, as I know Oracle XE only using single core CPU for processing.
On 32bit linux the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31235 @ 3.20GHz
On 64bit linux the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2470 v2 @ 2.40GHz
2. Would the CPU clock speed on a single core also made the 64bit Oracle slower?
Thanks a lot.

32 or 64 bit normally won't cause much performance difference as long as you can't use > 4GB RAM
Please note that XE can use only 1 core and 1GB memory.
According to benchmarks, Single Thread Rating of the 2 CPU really differ by around 25%. Quite consistent with your observation.
Of course, IO (i.e., disk) speed is also an important factor.

Oracle 9i 32bit to 64bit

Dear all,
I have a question about oracle 9i change from 32bit to 64bit:
We want to change our SAP server from 32bit to 64bit (LINUX). In this case, we also want change the SAP from 32bit to 64bit (but no SAP release changed), and oracle 9i from 32bit to 64bit. Is this possible? How to do it? How much time need based on your estimate?
Because the system can not shut down more than 12 hours, we intend to use a old oracle export for new system installation and use the redolog rollforward to the lastest status. The new system is running on 64bit (oracle and SAP), but the redolog is 32bit, is it OK?
Thanks
Michael

steps are
Verify there are no invalid objects.
Verify all components in the DB are Valid
Install Oracle 64bit
Copy the Database files from the 32bit machine, to the 64bit machine.
(Datafiles, Logfiles, Controlfiles, init.ora, tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, etc..)
Run all the post scripts
When this was all done, there should be zero invalid objects.
export/import. advantage being that the old database will remain usable in case the migration fails
Good Luck

SQL Developer Data Modeler: free of licensing costs like SQL Developer?

Sue and SQL Developer Team,
At what release did Data Modeler become free? And by "free" does this mean free for development only? Or free of cost for any and all production use? From what I recall, early releases of Data Modeler were "free" to download but required for-pay licensing to use.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/overview/index.html
"SQL Developer Data Modeler is a free data modeling and design tool..."
If there is a license fee for Data Modeler, then the above statement would be as misleading as one like the following:
"Oracle Enterprise 11g is a free database..."
Free to download, yes. Not free for production usage.

Evidently the answer is "yes" this time. Free as in free of licensing costs:

SAP GRC Access Control - Compliance Calibrator - License Cost

Dear all,
I have some questions on Compliance Calibrator implementation.
1. Do we have to pay additional cost for the license to implement Compliance Calibrator?
2. Since SAP GRC 5.3 is just released, which one do you recommend? SAP GRC 5.2 or 5.3?
3. What would be the major difference between Compliance Calibrator in GRC 5.2 and 5.3?
Best regards,
Rolando

Hi Rolando-
1. Yes, there lies some license cost and the amount should not as much as taking SAP R/3 license. I am not sure of exact amount but its nominal as compared to other SAP products.
2. SAP always recommend for the latest version available and why not one would go for latest version if you are paying something for that.
Also, it depends on your existing R/3 version and its compatibility. In short run, you can choose per your existing versions but in long run everyone has to move to latest version. Say for example whoever is using SAP R/3 technology with whatever version, they all need to upgrade to ECC6.0 by 2011 with extension upto 2013. I am not sure of any such information about GRC AC though.
3. Some enhancement have been done with CC 5.3. Those features include-
1. Risk analysis for SAP Enterprise Portal and UME
2. BI integration for custom reporting
3. Reporting enhancement features include additional auditor, business manager and IT reports
4. SOD management by exception. Can be integrated with workflow.
5. Import/Export of configuration data
6. Migration scripts
7. Download and print capability on every report.
Some performance improvements-
1. Concurrent risk analysis.
2. batch mode risk analysis
3. Improved memory mgmnt etc.
Hope it gives you now some more visibility.
Cheers!

E Recruitment Usage (License costs)

We are planning to   set up E recruitment services ?     But the management would like to have an idea of the license costs associated with this .   So I would like to know the following in the case of production environment:
Is there a cost associated for activating and using this functionality ? I understand the E recruitment can be activated through SWF5 swiches.
Are there any other license fees to be borne , like say based on the number of users or employees...?
In the Development environment , I would like to know the following:
Is the company liable to pay license fees even in the case of testing and checking the functionality in TEst environment?
Regards,
Srivatsan

Hi Srs,
1/ There can be two approaches for installing SAP E-Recruitment:
     A: SAP E-Recruiting and SAP ERP run on same instance
     B: SAP E-Recruiting and SAP ERP run on different systems- preferred approach. However, includes additional cost of maintaining a server
In the Approach B- the master data is integrated using standard ALE.The info you came across must be referring to this approach.
2/ I haven't come across a scenario where licensing is done based on number of candidates/applicants. Please refer to SAP Buyer License Guide for further details..
Regards,
Rahul

How to identify the installed Weblogic Server and JDK are 32bit or 64bit?

Hi everyone,
I have a question ~
Both Weblogic Server and JAVA JDK are installed on the server already, but I only know the Weblogic Server is 10.3.4.0 and JAVA JDK version is 1.6.0_25.
I know the 64bit Weblogic Server installation file is a wlsXXXX_generic.jar package and 64bit JAVA JDK needed also.
But, since the Weblogic installed already, there are no such installation files on the Linux Server now.
I have tried the "java -version" for java version and check the Weblogic version from Weblogic console.
How to identify the installed Weblogic Server and JDK are 32bit or 64bit with Linux command? Or is there any way to check it?

What you can try to do is use WLST (or an MBean browser, such as JConsole or JRockit Mission Control) and connect to the adminserver.
For example when using WLST:
# set the environment by using setWLSEnv.sh (located in the ${WL_HOME}/server/bin directory).
# start WLST by using: java weblogic.WLST
# connect to the adminserver
connect('adminusername','adminpassword');
# change to the serverruntime environment
serverRuntime();
# show the attributes
ls();
# Here an attribute is shown called WebLogicVersion that shows the version of WebLogic
-r-- WeblogicVersion WebLogic Server 10.3.5.0 Fri Apr 1 20:20:06 PDT 2011 1398638
# Note that this does not show if is 32 bits or 64 bits to retrieve this information you have obtain the JVM version
# change the directory
cd('JVMRuntime/AdminServer');
# show the attributes
ls();
-r-- Version R28.0.1-21-133393-1.6.0_20-20100512-2126-linux-x86_64
# when you have something like x86 at the you are running a 32 bit version, if you have something like x86_64 you are running a 64 bits versionAs mentioned above you can also retrieve this information by using a MBean browser.

Since I changed the operating system Windows 7 32bit to 64bit I can not use Firefox browser unless change the browser to safe mode.

Satellite A660 - How to change from 32bit too 64bit system

Howdy!
I bought a New Toshiba Satellite A660 i7-2630QM with windows 7 home premium.
My problem is Toshiba includes instructions for the first start up and it says i can choose between 32 bit operating system and 64 bit operation system, but when i turned it on the first time it did not give me any option/choice.
Now ive got 6GB memory and can only use 4GB because its set too 32 bit system is there any easy way to change it as I dont have a windows disc, all the software is preloaded?

Hi
I think this info is mentioned in user manual.
First of all you can create a Recover Disk with the Toshiba image.
You should create such disk using the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recover Disk creator (or Toshiba Recovery Creator).
Furthermore there should be a possibility to recover the notebook using the HDD recover.
During the HDD recovery, the setup should provide an option which would allow you to choose between the 32bit and 64bit.
But just one question: what A660-xxx do you have exactly?
