OWB11gR2 and 64bit

Hi all,
planning to buy a new multi-purpose notebook with Win7, I'm considering to choose the 64bit version. I read recommendations in favor of the 64bit database in order to have a more efficient use of the memory (4 GB RAM). But a collegue had some strange experiences with this configuration:
When trying to start OWB Design Center which came with the 64bit database, he failed with a cryptic OS message.
Ok, OTN states the following on the download page for the standalone Design Client:
To run OWB 11.2 Design Center client when using a database hosted on a platform other than 32-bit Linux x86 or Microsoft Windows 32-bit client platforms.
This may be an explanation, although I would expect to get a more precise message from Oracle ...
But then we installed the 32bit standalone Design client in the 64bit OS - and got the same OS message.
What does this mean for me? Am I better off to forget about 64bit to avoid troubles of this kind? Is there a way to make it work?
What are your experiences with Win7 64bit and DB 11gR2 in general and OWB in particular? Is this a Java issue?
best regards
Thomas

OWB is not yet supported for 64 bit OS.

  • 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.
    Please learn to clearly describe the situation or it is unlikely that appropriate and relevant assistance will be provided.

  • Installing PS CS5.1 32bit and 64bit

    I accepted the defaults while installing photoshop and it seems 2 versions installed?  Do I need both the 32bit and 64bit versions on Windows 7 64bit ?  Also, when I look at installed programs it only indicates Photoshop CS5 without any 32bit or 64bit designation.  What is necessary here.  Are there bugs with the 64bit version like MS Office so the 32 bit version installs also? 
    thanks
    Milton

    Both 32 and 64 bit variants are provided in case you have plug-ins or drivers that only work with one.  For example, older plug-ins are generally 32 bit only, and there are no 64 bit TWAIN drivers.
    64 bit Photoshop will allow you access to your entire memory space, in excess of 2 GB, while 32 bit Photoshop will be limited.
    Advice:  Keep 'em both, use 64 bit primarily, and use the 32 bit version if/when you have to.

  • Install Photoshop 32bit AND 64bit

    hi,
    is it possible to install Photoshop 32bit and 64bit on one system?
    im currently running 64 bit, but it doesnt recognize my 32bit filters...
    if not, is there much difference in performance between the 64 and 32bit version? [btw: i am running Windows Vista 64bit Home Premium SP2]

    oh....
    lol
    sorry XD
    i see now, i have both
    and is there much difference in performance between 64 and 32 bit?

  • Regarding 32bit and 64bit libraries

    Hi,
    Can any one please clarify my quries below.
    1) What is the difference between 32bit and 64bit library.
    2) How to identify the 32bit and 64bit library? Is there any naming convention fallowed?
    3) From which version onwards of Sun Studio, 64 bit libraries are supported?
    Regards,
    Vignesh

    The platforms suppported by Sun compilers have both 32-bit and 64-bit modes of operation. The two modes cannot be mixed in a single program. A 64-bit platform can run 32-bit code, but not the other way around.
    On the supported platforms, 32-bit mode is known a ILP32, meaning that types int, long, and pointer are all 32 bits. 64-bit mode is known as LP64, meaning that type int is still 32 bits, but types long and pointer are 64 bits. (Other systems, not supported by Sun compilers, can have different definitions.)
    The 64-bit mode of the processors supports different instruction sets. The amd64 processor also has different register sets. The layout of objects is different in the two modes, and the way functions are called is different. (There are other differences as well.)
    A program compiled in 32-bit mode must link to 32-bit libraries, not 64-bit libraries, for reasons which I hope are now obvious. A program compiled in 64-bit mode must link to 64-bit libraries.
    The Sun compilers automatically link to the right library version of system libraries, as long as you use consistent options when compiling and linking. For example, you could build a 64-bit sparc program this way:   CC -xarch=v9 -c f1.cc
      CC -xarch=v9 -c f2.cc
      CC -xarch=v9 f1.o f2.o -o myprog The 64-bit version of the various system runtime libraries will be linked automatically, given the -xarch=v9 option on each command line.
    If you create both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of a library of your own, you must arrange to name them differently or put them in different subdirectories. If you give them the same name and put them in differrent subdirectories (which is the convention for system libraries on Solaris), you can use different -L options at link time to point to the right directory.
    You can use the Solaris "file" command to find out whether a program or library is 32-bit or 64-bit.`
    Example, this time on a Solaris Opteron system:
    % file /usr/lib/libCrun.so.1
    /usr/lib/libCrun.so.1: ELF 32-bit LSB dynamic lib 80386 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped, no debugging information available
    78% file /usr/lib/amd64/libCrun.so.1
    /usr/lib/amd64/libCrun.so.1: ELF 64-bit LSB dynamic lib AMD64 Version 1 [CMOV], dynamically linked, not stripped, no debugging information available

  • What's different between 32bit and 64bit ?

    Hi all,
    What's different between 32bit and 64bit for Oracle Database 10g Release 1 ?
    such as "Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)"
    and "Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2) for Microsoft Windows (64-bit Itanium)"
    Thanks

    What's different between 32bit and 64bit ? oooh, about 32 bits ;)
    what is different between (x64) and (64-bit Itanium)This really is the short of question google could answer better but in a nutshell Itanium is the Intel 64bit chip (AKA the Itanic, due to its troubled history). Whereas x64 is the appelation given to AMD's 64bit Opteron chips; I believe x64 was coined by Microsoft but Sun use it as well.
    Cheers, APC.

  • Can 32bit and 64bit clients coexist?

    Hello folks,
    I have a Windows Server 2003 64bit machine running Websphere 6.0 Express (32bit). Additionally it's running a custom 64bit application. Both apps need to connect to separate 10g databases. Can the 32bit and 64bit Oracle client installs coexist on this machine?
    Thanks for any advice!
    -Sangamon

    To clarify, Websphere needs a 32bit JDBC driver, our custom application needs a 64bit ODBC driver. I've got Websphere working, but I'm having trouble getting the ODBC driver to work. I'm wondering if there's a problem with having 2 clients installed.

  • 32bit native dll and 64bit jdk

    is it possible to use 32bit native dll with 64bit jdk5 and 64bit win2003?
    i am trying to use mlib_jai.dll and i think i copied it ot the right place, still i get message that it isn't available. my only gues is that it is related to 32/64 bit isuses, as mlib_jai.dll is comppiled with 32bit compiler. it works on 32bit windows and jdk1.4.
    any ideas?
    dario

    Hi,
    Yes you can run your 32 and 64-bit applications side by side. You will need to install both the 32 and 64-bit oracle client as well as the required data access driver for each application in separate oracle homes. The only gotcha is if these applications are running as a hosted applications within IIS, you will need to be sure you are on a version of IIS that allows you to configure separate application pools for 32 and 64-bit worker processes. i.e IIS 7.0. IIS 6.0 allows you to configure worker processes for 32-bit on x64, but it has to be one or the other. You cannot use both at the same time. See the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435. If you are running IIS 7 then you can configure separate application pools for the 32 and 64-bit apps. If you are running IIS 7 then its easy to configure the application pool for your 32-bit hosted app to enable 32-bit support by setting a property of the app pool.

  • Firefox on linux gets confused when both 32bit and 64bit plugins are found

    On a CentOS6 machines, 32bit plugins get installed to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and 64bit plugins get installed /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins. If both locations have the same plugin installed, such as libflashplayer.so, then 64bit firefox seems to randomly find one first and fail when it sees the 32bit version first. This results in Flash working for some users and not for others .
    I can run "strings -a ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/pluginreg.dat | grep usr.lib" and see which users will have it fail because the 32bit path to libflashplayer.so is listed first for them. For the users where it works the 64bit version in /usr/ilb64 is listed first.
    I see no way to make 64bit firefox ignore what is in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins as this seems hardcoded into the binary. I also see no way to make the /usr/lib64 path take precedence as I have MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped
    The output I see on the stderr is:
    LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so [/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32]
    [8941] WARNING: pipe error (60): Connection reset by peer: file /builds/slave/rel-m-rel-l64_bld-000000000000/build/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 450
    repeated many times
    It seems to me at least that plugins in a user set MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH should always take precedence over those in a hard coded path like /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins

  • Configuring 32bit and 64bit extproc

    Hi All

    You can configure as below in listener.ora file.

  • TNS Timeout Error with both 32bit and 64bit drivers installed

    I have a server running WIndows 2008 64bit and SQL Server 2012 64bit. I have both the 32bit and 64bit Oracle ODBC drivers installed. 32bit is for SSIS and SSRS uses 64bit. I have an ODBC connection setup for both the 32bit and 64bit. I have the datasources setup for the 64bit and when I test it it works. When I go to run a query I get TNS timeout errors. Any ideas?

    Thank you very much, Curt!
    It's right: When the 64bit version is running, then the PSDs will be opened by this.
    But the configuration under "Bridge Edit/preferences/file type assoiciatons" has the same result as under the "Windows/Systemcontrol/Standardprograms": Never they show the name "Adobe Photoshop.exe (64bit)" - only "Adobe Photoshop.exe" In both cases (Bridge and systemcontrol) I have the possibility to choose the "right" Photoshop.exe by going to the right file (32bit OR 64bit), but the name of the .exe is ever the same: Only "Adobe Photoshop.exe". There is no difference.
    And so even if the 64bit version is preferred (in Bridge), the PSD-files will be opened in the 32bit-version, when no one of both versions is running.
    But - so or so - you have given me a way to solve my basic-problem!
    And when I find the time for experiments, I will show what happens, when I rename the 64bit-exe to "Adobe Photoshop64.exe" to get two different filenames for Photoshop in the Windows-System. (I'm not shure if this will function: When in the Photoshop-System are intrinsic lnks/references to "Photoshop.exe", then I will have no success! Therefore I have to make a HDD-Clone with the whole Windows-System, all Apps and my Working-data before I try to rename. Perhaps there is "no way back to the activation" after renaming the .exe ...
    Thank you and kind regards,
    Oh-Mann

  • Problem with installing both 32 and 64bit Java7u45

    Hi all.
    For some reson we need to install Java7u45 because of an inhouse made application only runs on java7u45 32bit,
    Now to my issue, we hava about 200 windows7 x64 machines who need both 32 and 64 bit java7u45.
    If i install the 32bit the inhouse appliction works, but then other third party application will not run (SoapUI, Eclipse).
    If i install both 64 and 32 bit the inhouse application will not run, i get this error message "NativeSwing[1]: Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM"
    In the Java Control Panel only the 64bit java shows up, and if i try to add javaw.exe from C:\program files (x86)\java\bin it will add the correct line, and i looks ok until i close the java control panel and open it, it will still only show the 64bit java.
    So is there anyway to change the default 64bit java to 32bit and make it stick?
    Thank you.

  • Install CS2 on Windows 7 32bit and 64bit, please help!

    I own a legitmate CS2 Creative Suite and my old Windows XP computer must be retired. Is there any way for a non-technical person like me to install CS2 on Windows 7 64bit? I saw some instructions but they seem geared to very computer knowledgable people and I got lost just reading them. Also, I saw new that CS2 was or is being offered fro FREE from Adobe? Is that true?
    OR, will CS2 as a 32bit application be more easily installed on Windows 7 32bit without any special install instructions?
    Thank to alll who can help this pathetically technically challenged person! I can NOT afford to upgrade CS2.

    Option 2 here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4715553 seems to work:
    Copy the installer to your local drive. Right click Setup.exe, Properties > Compatibility tab > Run this in compatibility mode. Choose XP SP2. Click OK. Run Setup.exe
    And yes, you can download and install them, see:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4976177
    There is still ongoing discussion whether anyone is entitled to install it, or only users with a valid license, but it seems Adobe does not care.

  • Windows 7 64-bit and need to install both 32bit and 64bit Oracle 11g client

    Hello
    First I am sorry for asking what is probably a common knowledge answer from most in the forum. I just cannot find a straight forward answer searching these forums or via google.
    We have Windows 7 64-bit planned as our next desktop upgrade. We have several Oracle databases, and all of the client software in our environment is 32 bit.
    I want to try and be ahead of the curve so I want to deploy the latest 64-bit 11g client instead of our current client (10g 32bit).
    The simple question is this: Can we actually do that with our 32bit application suite or do I need to install the 32bit client for 32bit applications side-by-side with the 64bit 11g Oracle client for future 64-bit clients?
    For a follow up to that, if I do, then does anyone have good instructions on that? I found one article on this but it seemed custom and made use of the mklink command, so I have my doubts this is correct.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the tip. What I wonder though is should I do that or does the 64-bit client have a 32-bit layer that works with 32-bit applications or, am I forced to still deploy a 32-bit client because of my 32-bit software?
    Thanks
