Mixed Windows Environment x32 / x64 allowed

Hi everybody,
Do anyone know that these mixed environment is supported from SAP ?
Central instance: Windows 2003 Ent. x32 / Oracle 9.2.0.7 / SAP 4.6c SR2
1st Dialoginstance: Windows 2003 Ent. x32
2nd Dialoginstance: Windows 2003 Ent. x32
3th Dialoginstance: Windows 2003 Ent. x64
I'am plan a roll upgrade of the Windows 2003 system from x32 to x64 and I'am unsure if supported from SAP. Some OSS hints tell that it is, but most of them are only for database and not for application nodes.
Every hint will be welcome.
Regards,
Oliver

> 814834 was helpful but I've seen before and it's for me not clear enought to have the "allowed" way from SAP. When I interpret correctly then I can use a x64 bit operating system, a oracle x32 9.2.0 client and a SAP 4.6c SR2 kernel, right ? Do you also know a hint where SAP give the mixed environment as a possible configuration ?
Yes - you can run the 32bit kernel on a 64bit Windows:
<...>
For product versions based on kernel 4.6D, only 32-bit operation on Windows 2003 SP1 64-bit is supported. Information concerning the support of MS Cluster Server is available in Note 955785.
Operating SAP components on Windows 32-bit on x86_64 hardware is fully supported.
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.
<...>
The "supported mixture" is limited by the availability of database clients and kernels. For your combination this is working and supported.

Mixed sap environment linux and windows

Hello,
I have a question regarding a mixed SAP environment. At the moment we are running win 2003 and sql server 2000. 1 central instance and two dialog. Now somebody suggested to migrate the central instance to linux and maxdb and keep the windows dialog instances! I've never heard about an os mixed sap environment!
Is this common or do you know such environments? Please send your feedback and pro and cons to this suggestion!
Thank you in advance!
Does anyone knows how much the SAP migration service is?
Best regards,
Frank

Why migrate off of Windows O/S? I serve 1500 concurrent users along with 90,000 users on web services on commodity hardware ($20,000 per server), all running on Windows 2003 SP2 x64 with uptime of 99.9% per month.
Just wondering.
edit: To answer your question, SAP is an application level program which deals with different O/S via different kernels. However, from an SAP app to SAP app level, everything is done via TCP/IP pipes. Doesn't matter if that pipe is provided by Linux, Unix, or Windows.

I can register an OCX file in Windows 7 x64 without incident but with Windows 7 x32 I get a p-up that says "DllRegisterServer failed with error code: 0x80004005. What gives???

Hey yeah. not much else to say. The title says it all.
I'm trying to register an OCX file that my video editing application requires to work properly.
I'm using a Registry (Regsvr32 and Regsvr64) tool to Register DLL/OCX files. Both bit Registry tools work fine. I can Register any DLL or OCX file with Windows 7 x64 and everything goes smoothly.
But, when in Windows 7 x32, again, no problem with merging the Regsvr32 tool, but when I go to register the OCX file message says it was loaded but the DllRegisterServer failed with error: 0x80004005.

Epson LX-300, Epson FX-890 printers in Windows Server 2008 x 64 and Windows 7 (x32 and x64)

I have the following problema working with RDP connections to Windows 2008 Server (x64) SP2 and Windows 7 Professional (x32 & x64).
I have setup correctly an Epson LX-300, LX-300+, LX-300+II and FX-890 printers in separate computers in Windows 7 (all working under Windows 7 Professional x64 and x32) and they work correctly.
I need to RDP to a Windows 2008 Server SP 2(x64) and once I log in, the Server Operating System recognizes my printer with no problem at all (Redirected Printer), but when I print, the characters and not understandable, since the printed information is blurry.
When I do excatly the same procedure but with a Client with Windows XP installed the printed information is totally clear, so we can determine at least that the printers are working fine.
I understand this should be a driver issue, but i simply can't make it work correctly.
Can anybody help.

Hi,
Since the printer can print the test page, there is no need to collect the Event log. I notice there is no specify driver for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. It seems the default Easy Printer driver doesn’t work properly for these printers.
I suggest you install the Windows Vista driver version on the Server for testing.
LX-300 Impact Printer
LX-300+ Impact Printer
LX-300+ II Impact Printer
If the issue persists, let’s disable Easy Printer for a test.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Printer Redirection ->
Disabled
Also test the following KB.

Unable to add network printers from Windows Server 2012 R2 to client running Windows 7 Pro x64

New Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard in the environment. Added print services to it and added five HP printers to it and shared them. Also deployed the printers via group policy.
Clients are running Windows 7 Pro x64. The group policy fails to install the printers (error 0x00000002). We get the same error when trying to manually add the printer from the client side.
From Event Viewer: Group Policy was unable to add per computer connection <<printer share>>. Error code 0x2. This can occur if the name of the printer connection is incorrect, or if the print spooler cannot contact the print server.
Any ideas on troubleshooting this?
Thanks.
-John

John,
You might try playing with the HP universal driver, that might help you. Try installing a new shared printer on the server using the universal print driver, then try and connect to it to see if it is any better.
Check these GPO settings to ensure local machines can install the drivers.
1. Configure the following two Group Policy settings:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Driver Installation\Allow non-administrators to install drivers for these devices setup classesEnabled
2. Device class GUID of printers: {4d36e979-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Computer Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/Printers/Point and Print RestrictionsEnabled
Security Prompts: When Installing Drivers for a new connection = Do not show warning or elevation prompt

Cannot print to PDF Printer in Windows server 2003 x64 (Adobe 9 STD)

Hi everyone,
I'm running into a very odd issue. We are using Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 in our environment. Recently, I install the x64 bit version of Citrix on top of Windows Server 2003 x64.
The problem that we are experience right now is that when user open a WORD or EXCEL document and try to print to PDF. The SAVE AS windows shows up to allow users to save, but nothing happens afterward. In another word, no PDF file is created.
However, if I ask the user to right click on the file (in windows explorer) and choose Convert to PDF, then the conversion go through.
Do you know a fix for this?

You might read the EULA and confirm the issue I have mentioned. I might not be correct in my estimate, but just gave a sounds like opinion. If it is a violation, then removing it is wise. Typically, Acrobat must be installed on each individual machine. There are multiple license options and server options, but you would need to contact Adobe for more information on those areas. Hope you can get them to talk to you in such a case.

Windows 7 SP1 x64 network printer offline

I've got a interesting problem within my newly installed windows server 2008 r2 domain. the environment is like this:
all the servers were installed as windows server 2008 r2 with sp1 already integrated and got patched up to date. after the domain was running just fine and the best practice analyzers got peased i turned towards the clients. all of the clients got installed
as windows 7 professional x64 with sp1 already integrated.
one of the servers has the file and print roles with the latest whql compatible drivers for various models of hp and canon printers.
everything works fust fine but every two to three days a random windows 7 client insists that the printers on the print server were offline - which is not true, in fact they work just fine. anfter i restart the spooler service on that client it takes some
seconds and then - oh wonder! - recognizes that the printers are not offline. until now there were never more than one client at once which had this problem but there were various client in total which had the problem.
please spare me advices like "update the printer driver" or "install the latest windwos updates" or "make a system restore" because as already stated i have
the latest x64 windows server os only recently installed with up to date service pack and updates
the latest x64 windows client os only recently installed with up to date service pack and updates
the latest whql printer drivers i could get from the vendors
on a last note: i'm not inclined to disable snmp on the printers to avoid false positives - i'm on the search for the cause so i can fix that problem instead of hiding it.
thanks in advance

Hi,
Please run the printer troubleshooter first and check if it helps.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-the-Printer-troubleshooter
I suggest to perform these tests you can try:
1 Temporally disable firewall on Windows 7
2 The problem may be caused by the printer change its IP address itself. Please set the IP address of the printer to a static address. If you add the printer
again by browsing the network, the Standard TCP/IP port will only work as long as the printer retains the same IP. If the print device support DNS or WNS name registration you can add a Standard TCP/IP Port using the hostname rather than a
transient IP address for DHCP enabled print devices.
3 If the printer changed IP address, go to Devices & Printers --> Printer Properties --> Ports --> Standard TCP/IP Port for your printer --> Configure
Port. Then change the IP address where it says “Printer name or IP address” to the new IP address that you found.
In addition, sometimes disable SNMP could fix the issue. You can make a try to check if it will avoid the same issue occurs.
Furthermore, this link may helpful to you:

Oracle XE 11g x64 does not run. No *DBF files inside of the XE folder. Windows 7 Pro x64.

Hello everyone!
I hope you are doing well all. In my case I have some troubles by installing Oracle XE 11g on my PC. My OS is Windows 7 Pro x64.
1. I activated the Administrator mode on my PC (net user Administrator /active:yes)
2. Started the setup as Administrator. The setup process was finished successfully with no errors showed.
3. Started the Database, OracleServiceXE, OracleXETNListener and other services.
4. Tried to connect using sqlplus-> connect system ->password, what in result gave me ORA-01034 Oracle not available and ORA-27101 Shared memory realm does not exist errors.
5. Then I recognized that my C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XE folder is empty when it should be usually full with 6 DBF file.
6. I opened the cloneDBCreation.log and it contains these data:

I spent around 2 days to come to this reason and now I do not know what to do next.
My actions to resolve this problem:
1. Checked if my user has administrative rights and belongs to ora_dba. It does!
2. Turned Microsoft UAC off.
3. Set the system and local variables of ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, PATH, TNS-ADMIN to the appropriate values in Enivornment Variables:
     - ORACLE_BASE -> C:\oraclexe
     - ORACLE_HOME -> %ORACLE_BASE%\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server
     - ORACLE_SID -> XE
     - Added to PATH -> C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin;
     - TNS_ADMIN -> %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin
4. Removed Oracle XE 11g and reinstalled to another drive. No sense!
Some more errors:
1. C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\config\log\XE.bat.log

I understand that I need to logon as batch job. I added me to this policy in User Rights Assignments, but still I get these "DIM-00019: create service error" and "O/S-Error: (OS 1387)". And I guess just therefore my database is not starting well.

I have tried to install both of them lots of times but in each case I receive the same in my XE.bat file:
Instance created.
DIM-00019: create service error
O/S-Error: (OS 1387) Unable to add or remove a member from the local group because this member does not exist.
Have checked OS 1387 error at Microsoft Support and as possible cause of the problem they give as follows:
This issue can occur if the environment has a disjointed namespace (i.e. the domain has different NetBIOS and DNS names). For example, assume that the domain has a NetBIOS name of "domain.com" and a DNS name of "domain-old.com." When users are added in the Windows UI, they are displayed in the format of domain\ComputerName. However, you notice in the error log that there was an attempt to add a computer account in the format of domain-old\ComputerName. (System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager install fails and generates ID: 4323: "A member could not be added")
Tried to find out my DNS name, but it is impossible because I don't have any domain installed and my machine is not connected to it. Some other blog (Install Oracle 11gR2 on Windows) advices to work with adding my computer account to some non-real windows domain (just for the purpose of resolving the network) as well and reinstall the database then. If I undestand it right I need minimum 2 machines for this. But I own just one, where the server is based and thought that is enough to run the database... no idea ..

Can't connect to shared printer on Windows 7 Pro x64

I have a print server on Windows 2008 Standard and I have drivers installed for both x86 and x64 archs. The ricoh printer seems to work fine on windows 7 pro x64 but the hp printer will not work correctly. It seems to download/install the drivers but when actually connecting to the printer it errors out.
It says cannot connect to printer.
I can add the printer manually if I use tcp/ip printing instead of connecting to the shared printer. I can't figure out why its not working. Has anyone else seen an error like this? I'm not really sure what is causing this issue.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please also let us know the exact model of this HP printer.
If possible, please reproduce this issue on the Windows7 client and collect the relevant information for further research.
Step 1: Download Process Monitor
======================
1. Please download the Process Monitor at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
2. Extract the zip file to Desktop.
Step 2: Clean Boot
=============
Let's disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading program or service. Please perform the following steps:
1. Click "Start", go to "Run", and type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the open box to start the System Configuration Utility.
2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
4. Click "OK" to restart your computer to Selective Startup environment.
5. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
6. Check whether or not the issue still appears in this environment.
Note: Temporarily disabling the Startup Group only prevents the startup programs from loading at startup. This shouldn't affect the system or other programs. We may still manually run these programs later.

Windows XP Pro x64 problem with hardware aud

I just upgraded my computer and with this upgrade I installed Windows XP Pro x64. I am having the following symptoms and I am wondering if they aren't part of a larger problem.
When I run DXDiag (either the 32 or 64bit version) I get the following error message during the tests on the Sound tab: "Your sound card does not support hardware buffering. Sounds will only play back from software buffers.". Is this normal for Windows XP Pro x64. I've used this OS before (with my older system) and never saw that message and used 2 different X-Fi cards during that time!
I also have this problem...While running Thief Deadly Shadows, when I enable "Audio Hardware Mixing" I loose all sound. And I am unable to enable "EAX Advanced HD" and "EAX Multiple Environments".
It seems like I can't enable hardware audio. But I also have Lord of The Rings Online installed and it appears to be using it's hardware audio ok, but when I change from hardware to software it crashes if I don't disable EAX first, so it's not perfect. Is this card faulty or is this typical of WXPx64 or what?
Thanks...
My system specs are: Intel E6850, Asus P5K Deluxe (0404 BIOS), Corsair Twin2X4096-6400DHX, EVGA e-Geforce 8800 GTX, Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, Intel PRO/000 PT Server Adapter, Enermax Galaxy 000W Gamers Edition. I think that's all that's relevant.Message Edited by Zapper_Weisman on 07-27-20070:2 AM

I disabled the Memory Remap Feature in the BIOS and my DXDiag and Thief problems went away. I had a hunch it was related to this. But now my question is, am I just out of luck, in terms of having to sacrifice some of my RAM (3.25GBs instead of 4GBs) to get my sound card working properly? It seems to me that this is a driver issue, as I've read others say that Creative never really supported x64 fully.
Does anyone have anything to offer on this? Thanks...Message Edited by Zapper_Weisman on 07-27-20070:22 AM

Adobe AIR won't install - Windows 7 Ultimate x64

"Sorry, an error has occurred.
An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
Well, I asked myself and verified that I am allowed to install any programs I wish to at will.
I even toyed with adding extra permissions for the .exe and shortcut [see below], to no avail.
I also checked your Adobe AIR installation troubleshooter section before posting. Unfortunately, none of the solutions 100% applied to my circumstances or OS, yet I tried a few anyway and had it confirmed by a Windows dialogue that I need not have bothered as it assured me that they weren't applicable in my case.
I found another thread like mine where somebody suggested creating a shortcut with an additional -uninstall parameter added to the .exe path. It didn't work.
I used Microsoft's Installation Cleanup Utility and that didn't work to "un-confuse" the installer either.
Do you have any more suggestions?
Adobe AIR came with the HTC Sync program for my phone, which appears to have dependencies on it where it won't completely work without it.
Thanks in advance for any input.
ps. I created a new thread because I couldn't find the "reply" button on a similarly unresolved thread regarding Adobe AIR installation issues on Windows 7.

I would like to say thanks to artrose54 and to playswithtech for their thoughtful responses to my problem. I finally figured out which number I was to delete, and then, having made a copy of the number in notepad, deleted it. Upon a restart to my computer I then was able to download adobe air 2.7. I found that I still could not download the shutterfly express uploader, however; so I applied the same approach. I went looking for the number in the registry that corresponded to the uploader. I deleted it; restarted the computer; returned to shutterfly; and then was able to download the express uploader. I am sure I will find other uses for Adobe Air in the future.

Hi everyone,
Here is the fix that worked for me,
You need to go to start run and type in regedit
now press ctrl+f for find and type in "adobe air" without the quotes then click find next
the first entry it finds is the one I deleted, it is a long number on left side of screen that is greyed just right click and delete it
I then rebooted the computer and ran adobe air installation
and it worked with out a problem
The adobe air log file really doesn't tell u anything but where it tried to find the setup.msi file
but it doesn't exist because of the registry entry that needs to be deleted which is what causes the error
If u r not sure of editing the registry then maybe you know someone that can help you
I hope this helps you out it worked for me
