Oracle 64 bit

Hi,
Can I install and test Oracle 10.2.0.3 64 bit on windows 2003 32 bit?
Thanks

> As per my best knowledge you can not install 64 bit over 32bit OS, and its all about how much
memory you want to put over server.
Not really. It is about the CPU and about the o/s. A 32bit CPU only has 32bit registers... so how on earth will it be able to handle machine code using 64bit registers?
Assuming 64bit CPU and 32bit o/s, the next issue is about the "services" that the o/s kernel provides. And one of the most important of these is memory management. A 32bit o/s uses a 32bits to address memory. Again, how on earth can it use a 64bit address to address memory when it only has 32bit addressing capability?
Which brings to mind that Vista is 64-bit wannabe with a 32-bit graphics interface for 16-bit extensions to a 8-bit patch on a 4-bit operating system designed to run on a 2-bit processor by a company that can't stand 1-bit of competition.

Migration of Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit on same Windows host.

Hi,
Title: Migration of Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit on same Windows host.
We have windows host x64 bit. Oracle is 10g 32 bit and we want to migrate it to 10g 64 bit. I would like to know the steps. Note 940811 is not clear enough.
Please help.
Many thanks,
Mohan.

Hi,
I think SAP Note 940811 is not relevant to your case as far as I understand your case in your previous thread because you are already on oracle 10.2 and there is no upgrade required.
Please check SAP note 192822 and please check below extract from this note:
      5. Can I switch to 64-bit, even though I already run the same oracle release on 32-bit?
      Yes. The only thing that needs to be done is
run del_ora.csh to delete the 32-bit software
install the 64-bit software
start the database.
As the wordsize changes with 64-bit, all pl-sql-predures should be recompiled.
      Therefore please run the following two scipts on db-level:
      @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlip.sql -invalidates all plsql-procedures
      @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql -recreates the plsql-procedures with the new word size
Thanks

Migration from Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit on Windows

Hi,
Currently we have Oracle 32bit 10.2.0.2 on Windows 64-bit.
We want to convert oracle to 10.2.0.2 64 Bits on the same machine.
The procedure is quite simple but if we want to keep the same Oracle home it become complicated.
The Oracle 32 bit is installed on /oracle/SID/102 if we want to keep the home directory after the migration we have to install the oracle 64-bit software on /oracle/SID/102.
1. Can we install 64-bit binaries over 32-bit binaries on the same directory.
2. Do we have to deinstall first 32-bit binaries
3. Can we simply empty the /oracle/SID/102 and install 64-bit binaries and start the DB and run the conversion script ?
Thank you for you help.
Chak

Hello Stefan.
Thank you for your quick reponse.
Note 392800 describe how to de-install old oracle version after the complete installation of the new software which will be not our case because we want to de-install the oracle software before installing the 64-bit.
Normally the steps will be as follow
1. Use OUI to deinstall Oracle 32-bit
2. Install 10g 64-bit and 10.2.0.2 64-bit
3. Open the DB and run the conversion script
Is this procedure described in an SAP note ot at least supported by SAP ?
Another question : I guess when we d-install oracle using OUI it removes only the binaries not the DB or *.ora files (init, tnsnames,...).? what about the Oracle services, are they removed too ?
Thanks,
Chak

Does extproc for Oracle 64-bit 11.1.0.7 on Win 2003 64-bit load 32 bit DLL?

Hello
Background:
We had Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 32-bit EE on Windows 2003 32-bit EE and now migrated to 64-bit (both OS and DB) and everything worked brilliantly ok except...
Problem:
We used to be able to connect to an external application (Postcode Plus from AFD) via extproc to search postcodes / addresses etc. However, after the migration getting the error:
ORA-06520: PL/SQL: Error loading external library
ORA-06522: Unable to load DLL
The listener.ora and tnsnames.ora configuration as exactly same as what we had on 32-bit machine (except the host name).
For convenience, I've attached both here:
listener.ora (on 32-bit machine):

Questions:
1. Does extproc for Oracle 64-bit 11.1.0.7 on Win 2003 64-bit load 32 bit DLL?
2. When searched got a quite of lot link about extproc32 (for all versions of UNIX), but not for Windows and found this link Extproc32 installation Does that mean it is not possible to load 32-bit DLL on 64-bit Windows installation?
3. Is there any workarounds? Or am I stumped so I should now go back and reinstate the 32-bit installation?
Any input / recommendation is appreciated!!
Regards
Kannan

Does that mean it is not possible to load 32-bit DLL on 64-bit Windows installation?Yes,it's not possible,refer to MOS/metalink:

Where is Oracle 64 bit 11gR1 11.1.0.7 clusterware on windows 2008r2?

I am confused on something. I am trying to test Oracle 64 bit 11gR1 11.1.0.7 clusterware on windows 2008r2.
I am following Reall application cluster guide for 11g Release 1.
I downloaded Oracle 64bit 11gR1 11.1.0.7.
I couldn't get the window that has options to select
Oracle database 11g

Hi,
Windows 2008 R2 is not yet certified for running clusterware 11.1.0.7. You would need windows 2008 to be certified
you can get the installer from here

Is it possible to run OBIEE on linux 64 bit mchine with oracle 64 bit

Is it possible to run OBIEE 10.1.3.4.0 on linux 64 bit machine with oracle 64 bit(10.2.0.1.0) installed
Thanks in Advance

Yes, assuming your hardware has the supported CPUs. OBIEE binaries are 32 bits and requires 32 bits OCI libraries to connect Oracle DBs. See the OBIEE [System Requirements and Supported Platforms|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf] for more information.

Can some one guide me to get the patch for 10.2.0.4 for Oracle 64 bits on Linux RH 5.2 64 bits please!!
thanks

Hi,
the patch URL you can get from:
http://www.oratoolkit.ch/download/
but the thing is that you need to be an oracle customer with a valid customer support id (CSI) to download it. Without CSI there is no chance to get the patch.

Hi,
I was setting up VMware vCenter 4.1 (probably the only well known and largely used product with this lethal mix) and needed to setup an ODBC access to Oracle on the 32 bit side of Windows to setup the Update Manager server component, which is still a 32 bit application)
The problem with Oracle configuration is that in no way I found a 32 bit ODBC registered driver after the setup (of the 32 bit client and the 64 database server). I tried some third party driver for oracle (e.g. easysoft).They registered in the 32 bit ODBC manager but they never got a successful connection.
Also if this vCenter requirement is questionable (more questionable considering that the setup of this 32 component is not allowed on a 32 separate OS, not because it is separate but because is a 32 bit OS) I would get it working.
Could suggest a way to get this working?
Thanks
Fabio D'AlfonsoWhen you install the Oracle client software on Windows (which is necessary to support ODBC, as the Oracle ODBC driver sits on top of the native client software) the ODBC driver is NOT installed by default. You have to go back and do a "custom" install and select the "Windows components".

Oracle 32 bit client to connect to a 64 bit database

Hello Folks,
My problems start with installing Informatica and Oracle in my 64 bit machine, both are 64 bit software.
When I open Informatica to connect to Oracle, it opens with a 32 bit ODBC connector.
So, essentially I want to connect to a 64 bit database.
I was told it is possible using a 32 bit Oracle client.
So, now I downloaded the Oracle 11g 32 bit client.
My question is how to connect to use it to connect to a 64 bit database.
Much obliged

Hi,
configure tnsnames.ora at client side....
example: oracle 11g client 32bit
go to oracle home where you have installed oracle 32 bit clinet and then /network/admin directory and then create tnsnames.ora file...
ex:
PROD1_db1=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db1.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = prod1)
and then configure sqlnet.ora file as well
create sqlnet.ora file at clinet side
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
once above files creation completion try to ping your prod db
ex: your prod database name prod1
tnsping prod1
go to cmd prompt type below

Can i do dataguard between oracle 64 bit to oracle 32 bit?

hello
can i do dataguard between oracle 64 bit to oracle 32 bit?
and i glad if you send me offical link about this
thanks

Before issuing a definite yes or no, it is important to specify the OS platform and the DB version you are currently talking about.
By design, Oracle dataguard must run on the same platform, same OS, same OS patch level, same db patchset, same bitness. However, some customers, due to investment strategies, require the dataguard to run on undersized hardware with less resources, may be more limited than the production environment, or even more, to be on different platform. Oracle recommends to run on homogeneous platforms, just for simplicity in implementation and managing, but some mixing is allowed, including the word size.
On 10g the platform restriction remains, it has to be the same platform, i.e. linux - linux, windows - windows, hpux-hpux, but not necessarily the same word size, so 32/64 bits is possible, some procedures have to be followed, though. In 11g the cross platform dataguard is an added new feature, so it is possible to have a dataguard with a linux <-> windows combination.
Either way, on a 9i Dataguard the bitness was a restriction, it was not possible to have different word size combinations in a dataguard configuration, for both the sql apply and redo apply, on 10g it is possible, just be aware that the dataguard broker doesn't support different word size with the same dataguard configuration, so the management has to be performed from sqlplus (on 11g this restriction is over) and valid for the redo apply, not for the sqlapply (logical standby db), this last configuration has to run with the same bitness.

Write data from Oracle 9i 64 bit to Oracle 32 bit through database link

Hi to All:
We are using following Oracle 64 bit application.
Operating System: Sun Solaris 5.9
Database: Oracle 9i (64 bit)
Machine: Sun Server Spark V890
Now my questin is that I want to move data from the production database running in Oracle 9i 64bit on Sun server to Oracle 9i 32 bit on Windows Server 2002 thru database link.
I heard that it is not possible to write data from oracle 64 bit to oracle 32 bit, no matter what operating system we are using.
Please confirm me that whether we can write data through database link from Oracle 9i 64 bit to Oracle 32 bit.
Please specify every possible solution or any site from where I can have the solution.
Thanks in advance.

STW00064: Installing BO XI 3.1 on Windows XP 64 bit with Oracle 64-bit

Hi all
I'm trying to install BOE XI 3.1 on a Windows XP 64-bit machine running Oracle 10g 64-bit and a SAP Netweaver System.
(The customer wants to run BO on the same machine as BI.)
After entering the Oracle connection parameters I get the Following error:
STW00226
Database access error. Reason Loading shared object failed. First tried to load library oci and failed because of error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
]. Second tried to load library oci.dll and failed because of error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
After some trying we've put the 32-bit Oracle client to a directory with the environment variable CLIENT_ORACLE_HOME pointing to it. Still the same error.
Has anyone an idea what I could do to fix this?
Thank you!

SSRS to Oracle 64 bit vs 32 bit patch

I have one server running Windows Server 2003 R2 and SQL Server 2008 x64 with Reporting Services. I am creating a report from within BIDS which uses the 32 bit (x86) directory. This report points to an Oracle 10g 10.2.0.3.0 database on another server running Server 2003 R2. The problem is that reports do not run since the Oracle client does not like the special characters x86 in the path name.
I have downloaded both 64 bit and 32 bit Oracle client which did not resolve the issue. I have copied the Visual Studio 32 bit directory to a folder with no special chacters in the name ("C:\Patch\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe") and can now run the report successfully when using the new devenv.exe. However, once uploaded to the server, I cannot run the report remotely. Researching the issue, it looks like I need to apply two patches. However, these patches say to only install them on 10.2.0.1. I am on 10.2.0.3. Can I install these patches even though I am at a higher release? If so, is this suppose to be installed on the database server? Or on the SSRS server where I am using the client?

Anyone? I was able to get the reports to temporarily work. There was one 64 bit oracle_home registry key, but there were two oracle_home registry keys in the wow6432 registry. So I deleted the 64 bit oracle_home registry key that was in the wow6432 registry. This made the reports accessible both locally and from the report server url. However, after rebooting, reports still work from within BIDS, but they no longer work from the url and fail with
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DEV'.
OCIEnvCreate failed with return code -1 but error message text was not available.
Any ideas? I have gone through just about every thread so I am not sure what the exact combination I need is.

Migration of Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit

Hi,
We have windows host x64 bit. Oracle is 10g 32 bit and we want to migrate it to 10g 64 bit.
1. We have installed the 64bit oracle software.
2. Then we uninstalled the 32bit software. With the uninstallation, the oracle services have also disappeared.
Now, there are no Oracle services seen under My Computer - Manage - Services, how to create the new Oracle services??
Please help.
Many thanks,
Mohan.

Hello Markus,
Thank you for your reply. We have managed to re-create the Oracle Services in other way as mentioned below. May be useful for other users:
1. Stop the DB, stop listener, stop other oracle processes.
2. Install the new DB software in a different home + Patch
3. Only after that, delete the old software.
4. Set the Environment variables $ORACLE_HOME and $PATH
(Nicht alle Variablen waren sauber gesetzt)
5. copy the files present under $ORACLE_HOME/database from old DB to new DB.
6. Create the Listener - Service with $ORACLE_HOME/bin/netca
7. Create the SID - Service with oradim ($ORACLE_HOME/bin)
oradim -NEW -SID FFF -STARTMODE auto -SRVCSTART system
8. start the database using sqlplus.
9. As the wordsize changes with 64-bit, all pl-sql-predures should be recompiled.
Therefore please run the following two scipts on db-level:
sqlplus sys as sysdba
sql> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlip.sql -invalidates all plsql-procedures
sql> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql -recreates the plsql-procedures with the new word size.
10. Offline - Backup with brbackup.
