Oracle Client version (32 or 64 bit) to install on a Windows 2008 64-bit m/

Hi guys,
I am installing BOXI 3.1 SP2 on a Windows 2008 64-bit server.
Which Oracle 10g client (32 or 64 bit) should I install on a 64-bit software. I know BO is native 32 bit, so ODBCs should be 32 bit incase CMS repositories are on SQL server.
Is there a standard for Business Objects for the versions of database client tools to be installed on server?
Also can we install database clients tools after the Business Objects 3.1 SP2 install on the server, provided I am using SQL server dbs for CMS and Audit databases?
Thanks,
G Bala

@Duncan
You recommend using 32 bit Oracle client. Is there any official documents from SAP BO stating this? I have difficulties finding anything. I'm in the same situation:
OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit
BO : 32bit
Oracle Client : 32bit OR 64bit?????
Is BO 32bit compatible with Oracle Client 64bit, at the level of using Infoview/Desktop Intelligence?

32 Bit Oracle Client Libraries on a 64 Bit Machine

Hello,
I own a 32 bit application that is running on a 64 bit linux machine currently only installed with 64 bit oracle client libraries. I requested the administrator install the 32 bit client libraries so that my application can function and they tell me that it is not possible. They cited a Meta-Link article that I do not seem to have access to, but this doesn't seem right. Has anyone else ever installed 32 bit compatible client libraries on a 64 bit machine. Thanks

On Linux (and this is only on Linux, not on Solaris and AIX !) if the OS is 64bit, only 64 bit Oracle is supported.
Check the Certify pages for Linux x86-64. This is in the critical notes :
"Linux x86-64, support on AMD64/EM64T and Intel Processor Chips that adhere to the x86-64 architecture with supported Linux releases. *Running Oracle 32-bit on AMD64/EM64T (64-bit OS) is not supported .*
Oracle 32-bit running on AMD64/EM64T with a 32-bit OS is supported, refer to platform Linux x86 for more information on product availability. "

How to run different Oracle client versions on the same PC

I have developped an application (.Net 2.0, ODP v. 10). I must run it on PC where Oracle client version 8 is installed. The PC cannot be upgraded because of a client software running under this version.
I tried to install ODP v. 10 on this PC in different home, but the software using version 8 stops running.
Can Oracle Instant Client help ? But which version, 11 ? My application is based on ODP 10. Can ODP 10 access database via Instant Client 11 ?
Thanks for your help

The problem on Windows is: The 10g installation changed the default ORACLE_HOME,now it points to 10g and makes the 8.0.5 application invalid,because it runs now in a much higher environment. What I did in a similar situation, I created a batch file, which sets temporarily the old environment (in my case PATH,ORACLE_SID,ORACLE_HOME) and then invokes the application.
I don't know whether such a solution will work for you (8.0.5 is very old,desupported since a long time), my old version was 8.1.7.4.

Query Oracle client version

Is there a way to tell the Oracle client version (9i or 10g) that is being used by SQL Developer from within SQL Developer? Our Citirx admin installed 10g client on the server and I am trying to verify that the 10g client is indeed being used by the SQL Developer.
In Toad there is a "Support Bundle" menu option to list the environment information (including the SQL client version) used by Toad. Is there something similar within SQL Developer?

I am trying to verify that the 10g client is indeed being used by the SQL DeveloperSQL Developer uses whatever client you're connected to.
You don't believe your admin really installed 10g? C'mon!
Is there something similar within SQL Developer?Reports - Data Dictionary Reports - About your Database - Version Banner
Have fun with 10g,

Oracle Client Version

Hi,
We are on PT 8.46.04 and FSCM 8.8 and planning to upgrade the Batch NT server Hardware running on Windows Server 2000 SP4 to WIndows Server 2003.
We are also upgrading the Oracle database from 9.0.2.1.0 to 10g.
My question is, do we need to upgrade the Oracle Client on the APP and BATCH servers to match the Database Version or still keep the old Oracle client version which is 9.0.2.1.0?
can we have different database and client versions?
And also does Oracle support client 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows server 2003 .
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

can we have different database and client versions?The official and recommanded way by Peoplesoft is to meet the same version between client (what ever client machine, application server and batch server) and the database server.
And also does Oracle support client 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows server 2003 Yes, Oracle 9.2 is certified on Windows 2003 (however, 9.2.0.3 or higher patchset was required).
No, it is not supported because Oracle 9.2 is is not supported anymore.
Nicolas.

Oracle Client Version requirements

We've built a program using VS2005 and ODT 10.2.0.2. The database it is accessing is 9i. In order for the program to establish connectivity with the server, we had to load Oracle Client 10.2.0.2, with the installing user having administrative priviledges. No problem. Things work fine.
However, users access the computer with the program installed via terminal services over their network. If a user who does not have administrative priviledges via Active Directory, a error is generated stating “The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client”.
If the user is given administrative priviledges, this error does not occur. As I ponder this, I wonder if terminal services uses the priviledges assigned to the user to determine the Oracle Client to use on the host computer.
Could this be the case, or am I missing something?
Allen
[email protected]

does the computer with the program installed has multiple ORACLE_HOME (i.e home for 9i client and home for ODP.NET)? I suspect, only administrators can access ODP.NET home.

How do I check the oracle client version?

Hi All,
     How do I check the oracle client version installed from the OS level. I do know my database version I need to check which client is being used. Is there a table where this information is stored.
Thanks
Shabna

disp+work.exe -V will tell you which OCI version was used during compiling and linking.
Oracle uses release independent DLL Names (Unix people would say Shared Libraries) and therefore the SAP Kernel will dynamically load any Oracle Client Version found in the standard DLL Load Path during startup.
If you have more versions installed on your computer and you are not shure which one is loaded you can use Process Explorer (freeware, see www.sysinternals.com) to find out which one is loaded. If they belong to an Oracle_home (up to release 9.2) refere to Oracle Universal Installers Inventory information in order to find out which exact version is used.
If an Oracle10 Instant Client is used, there is no corresponding Oracle_Home. In this case you can use Windows Explorer (right click on the DLL -for example oci.dll), select properties, the Version Tab and File Version).
But unfortunately Oracle is not updating the File Version every time they are patching something.
An SAP ABAP Server Integrated Resource is the version information disp+work.exe -V is listing (evquivalent to SM51 - Release Information).
<b>Datenbank Client Library : OCI_10201_SHARE (10.2.0.2.0)</b>
OCI_10201_SHARE is telling us the compile/link environment, the number in brackets (only available starting with Oracle10) tells us the the result of an Oracle Client GetVersion call. Unfortunately this one does also not reflect the installed Minipatch version up to now.
Here are some results on 10.2.0.2 Windows X86_64:
SM51: Datenbank Client Library : OCI_10201_SHARE (10.2.0.2.0)
Explorer (OCI.DLL located in the same directory as disp+work.exe):
   10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
Explorer (oraociicus10.dll - the instant client implementation, this version is the one actual since mini patch 10.2.0.2.5 and it was definitely changed in 10.2.0.2.5):
   OraOCIICUS10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0
   oracore10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oranls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   orasnls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraunls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oravsn10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oracommon10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Patch1
   orageneric10.dll - 10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
   oraclient10.dll - 10.2.0.2.0 Patch2
   orapls10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Patch1
   orasql10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraxml10.dll - 10.1.0.2.0
   orahasgen10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraocrutl10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraocr10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oraocrb10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   oranbeq10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
   orantcp10.dll - 10.2.0.1.0 Production
oracommon10.dll from the rdbms server does report 10.2.0.2.0 Patch5 at the same time. compare it with the version information of oracommon10.dll included in oraociicus10.dll. Both patches are included in the same patchset (10.2.0.2.5).
there are two possible conclusions about this:
1. the version infomation is not very reliable.
2. the Oracle Patch and Build environment is not very reliable

Find Oracle client version

hi guys,
How can you find which Oracle client version does SAP 4.6D is using to connect with Oracle.
is there any file or Parameter setting available for this.
Thanks.
Chandra

Hello,
I'm afraid that the answer given by Samrat Dangeti is incorrect.
V$VERSION tells you the version of the RDBMS ( Oracle Database ) not the version of the client used by SAP.
Please, check the following thread on the Oracle Forum where this is being clarified.

ORACLE CLIENT VERSION INFO

Hi Oracle Guru`s
I`m going to update Oracle databases to 11.2.0.3 from 9i,10G and 11.10.7.0. May I know the Oracle Client versions that supports 11.2.0.3?

I am sure any 11.2 client will be supported for sure.So why not 11.2.0.3? 11.1 and 10.2 are only being supported with extended support. 7,8,9 client are not oficially supported.

I have Garageband version 4.1.2 (248.7) installed on my early 2008 IMAC Version 10.5.8. I have never upgraded but have a LOT of projects. If I upgrade my operating system to the next level (10.6?), will my GB version still work? Do I need to upgrade GB?

I have a LOT of projects involved and hope they will transfer. Can I (and should I) upgrade GB at the same time and how far should I go with that without causing a problem with my projects? What would I gain if I upgrade GB? Thanks!

my copy of 4.1.2 appears to work under 10.6.8, though i have not done extensive tests

v4 is pretty lonh in the tooth now, and GB only costs $15, so I'd think it's a good idea

the only version you can buy new is v6,a nd it should open older projects without issue ... however you could keep 4 around:
