Running a 32 bit app on a 64 bit server issue

Please help! I have been trying all of the fixes on the internet and nothing seems to work. I am trying to use the Oracle OLE DB Provider to run a 32 bit application on a 64 bit server - tried on a 2008 R2 and a 2003 SP2, both fail. I have tried with Oracle 11g 11.1.0.6.0 client and the 10.2.0.4.0 client - both fail.
It keeps installing the bin and inventory directories into the Program Files (x86) folder and I am assuming it is trying to run the 64 bit dll's instead of the 32 bit Oracle OLE DB provider DLL's. I have made a new installation and had it install into C:\ProgramFilesx86 but it still installs the bin and inventory files into C:\Program Files (x86). I have tried moving the contents and editing the registry, all I can find is that the inst_loc is pointing to C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Inventory so I change it to the file I created and restart the computer, still get an error when trying to test using a udl file.
Error shows: "Provider is no longer available. Ensure that the provider is installed properly."
I have also tried unregistering the OLE DB dll's located inside C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB for oledb32.dll and oledb32r.dll. It only lets me unregister the oledb32.dll. For oledb32r.dll it says the entry point for dllregisterserver was not found. I then register the oledb32.dll file inside of C:\program files (x86)\common files\system\ole db and then restart the server. Still get the UDL error and when i try to connect the application it just say DNS is not reachable. In the tnsnames.ora file there is no reference to the Program Files (x86) directory.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get a 32 bit application using Oracle OLE DB provider to run on a 64 bit server?
Thank you!

And then upgrading to RUP3(12.1.3). Opting for Fresh installation as there are no process customizations mainly.
Now my doubt is.. for 15 Concurrent user.. just having one Apps Tier is sufficient with 4 GB RAM(cannot be extended as it is windows standard 32 bit and max is 4 GB RAM), DB Tier with 8 GB RAM on windows 2008 R2(64 bit)?
Please suggest me any other approaches if any applicable for Windows. I am a Newbie in implementation.

Getting 16 bit app communicating with 32 bit Labwindows app

Hello,
I am working with a 16 bit application written in Turbo Pascal. I want to upgrade this code so that it communicates over a USB port rather than through an interrupt driven DMA process involving a card that sits on an ISA slot. I'm interested in using a winsocket to allow the 16 bit application to communicate with a 32 bit Labwindows app. Does anyone have more information on this topic and/or examples of how I can do this using LabWindows/CVI?
Thanks,
JLahens

Hello JLahens,
I haven't specifically done this myself, but I did a few Google
searches and found some MSDN documentation that might be helpful to you
even though it's ODBC related.
What is "Thunking" and What Role Does it Play in CVI's 32-bit Environment, or in General?

Hope that helps, and if anyone else has additional info, please feel free to post.

Error RC-10203 while running adcfgclone.pl on apps tier

Hi,
Hoping someone can help - I am new to Oracle Apps and cloning.
background:
-I have been tasked with completing the cloning steps for a development environment. I was provided source apps tier binaries (EBS 11i, 11.5.10.2) and source database binaries (10gR2, 10.2.0.5) created from a production multi-tier instance.
-The target is a two tier system (apps tier is one instance, db is other instance)
-Both instances of the target are running Red Hat 5.9 (db is 64 bit, apps tier is 32-bit)
-I have successfully restored the database
-I have successfully configured the env and tnsnames.ora on the target apps tier and connect to the database using the APPS credentials
-I do not have access to the production system nor can I ask anyone from the production side for assistance.
problem:

64 bit noob wants a 32 bit app... [SOLVED...for now!]

I got the following when trying to install Google Earth:
Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 5.1.3533.1731...............................................................
./setup.sh: line 216: setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk2: No such file or directory
./setup.sh: line 216: setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk: No such file or directory
The setup program seems to have failed on amd64
Fatal error, installer failed to run at all!
Is this just a question of trying to run a 32 bit app on a 64 bit OS? And, if it is, how do I solve it? Can I just install 32 bit libs (and which ones?) or must I do a 32 bit chroot for this...that seems rather a drag! I've read the 64 fit FAQ, and can manage the chroot if I must...but it just seems like a lot of trouble.
thanks,
dave

I'm guessing you're not yet familiar with the AUR? Read up about it, then install this.
Thanks, tomk,
I'm almost there. Have read up on AUR, installed all the dependencies (I thought...at least, I installed all those on the page you sent me to, I was still missing
Targets (2): lib32-libxfixes-4.0.4-1 lib32-libxdamage-1.1.2-1
) downloaded the tarball, unzipped it, ran makepkg...and exit with "no permission to create directory src in bin32-google-earth...etc."
this was makepkg -s, with my password for sudo to work...no luck.
so I checked up on fakeroot...and found that it appeared to be enabled in makepkg.conf...so ran makepkg without "-s" and got the same error....
Thought I would be smart and just go ahead and make the directory /bin32-google.../src myself...and obviously didn't give it the right permissions, since when I ran makepkg again...still no luck, though the error has changed from can't create directory to can't download files into this directory...I can change that, too, but why is the fakeroot trick (or sudo, for that matter...) not working. (It occurs to me that I may not be in sudoers...but I can fix that...and fakeroot ought to work anyway, shouldn't it?)
many thanks, we're almost there and I'll be a little smarter for next time.

27" i7 64-bit Apps?

I get 64 bit hardware. I get 64 bit OS Snow Leopard. What I don't yet get is what kind of work and what kind of apps benefit from 64 bitness.
I do iMovie 09 and Final Cut Express 4 on video downloads and my own video production. How are those two apps helped by SL's 64 bit hardware/OS?
I've got a Windows CS3 Master Collection setup. Can it benefit from a Windows 64 bitness OS on a Mac 64 bit hardware/software setup using bootcamp?
No sense paying for 64 bit i7 hyper threading if apps aren't thread aware.

There are quite a few Apps that can take advantage of 64-bit. If you run the Activity Monitor it will tell you what apps your running in 64-bit.
You can install a 64-bit version of Windows if you like, but unlike OS X you'll have trouble running a lot of Apps as many 32-bit ones are not supported, in OS X you can run 32 and 64-bit apps side by side.

Safari is running as a PowerPC app instead of an Intel 32-bit app

Exactly as the title says, my Activity Monitor says that Safari is running as a PowerPC app. There is some web content that seems to lag compared to other MacBooks. Any solutions?

HI Zack,
*"There is some web content that seems to lag compared to other MacBooks. Any solutions? "*
Depends on the MacBook's configurations. Not all are the same. You are running Leopard.. others Tiger or Snow Leopard.
Safari should run in 32-bit mode.
Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.

Does ds 52 run as 64 bit app under linux?

Under 64 bit RH 3 AMD64 V20Z?
Under 64 bit RH 3 on Dell or other x86 64 bit hardware?

No. 32 bit on Linux.

Opening CDR file - Extremely Fatal to CS6 64-bit apps

I'm trying to get down the bottom of what's causing an extremely serious error in the 64-bit version of Adobe Illustrator CS6.
Adobe Illustrator can open CorelDRAW .CDR files, to a certain extent. The .CDR files need to be saved down to version 9 or 10 compatibility. One of my coworkers just ran into a really bad Illustrator CS6 crash caused when opening a .CDR file. This is a crash I had to endure on my own new system a couple months ago.
After Illustrator CS6 64-bit crashes it simply refuses to launch again. It crashes and closes. Rebooting doesn't help. Deleting the AI prefs file doesn't help. Worse yet, the crash basically hoses all of the CS6 64-bit apps that are installed. The 64-bit version of Photoshop CS6 crashes when opening a file.
The last time this happened my only recourse was to do a "factory reset" on my computer, basically wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Windows 8 Professional in a clean state and then going through the very long, slow process of downloading and installing the CS6 apps from the Creative Cloud.
Does anyone in this forum have any experience with this particular kind of crash? Are there any possible alternatives that might fix this error besides wiping the hard drive and starting over? This bug is pretty badly timed. Gonna have to go through all the download/install process stuff again when the new CC apps are released.

The bug is unpredictable. Once the bug has occurred Adobe Illustrator CS6 64-bit will no longer launch. Rebooting and deleting the aiprefs file doesn't work. Additionally the bug also permanently affects other CS6 64-bit applications. Photoshop CS6 64-bit will launch, but it crashes when opening any file. After Effects and Premiere Pro crash at launch. No third party plug-ins were installed on this computer.
Affected computer's hardware:
Dell XPS 8500 Desktop
• Core i7 3770 Quad Core 3.4GHz
• 16GB RAM - Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 4 DIMMs
• nVidia GeForce GT640 1GB GDDR5 SDRAM
• 2TB 7200rpm SATA 6 Gb/s Hard Disc
• DVD-R/W Drive
• 19 in 1 media card reader
• Windows 8 Professional 64-bit
When this bug affected my own workstation a couple months ago, I tried to uninstall Adobe Illustrator CS6, download it again and then reinstall. Illustrator CS6 64-bit still refused to launch. The other 64-bit apps wouldn't launch either. So I ended up wiping the hard disc, reinstalling Win 8 Pro clean and downloading/reinstalling everything and just being careful to not open any .CDR files after that. My workstation is a little better equipped (Core i7 3770, 24GB of RAM, BD-RW drive, nVidia GeForce 660GTX, Intel SRT solid state drive with SATA 6gb/s 2TB HDD).
Previously I did run into problems when opening CorelDRAW .CDR artwork that was larger than a standard letter sized page. I would get hit with a dialog box saying "the file appears to be corrupt." I'd end up making CorelDRAW save the artwork into Adobe Illustrator CS5 format and then opening it Illustrator. Once my Adobe apps got hosed by a certain .CDR file I simply stopped trying to open any CorelDRAW files directly in Illustrator at all. Didn't want to go through the long process of reinstalling everything from scratch again. Unfortunately my coworker didn't remember the details of my experience. So now we're dealing with it on her new machine.
My coworker said she thinks she remembers which .CDR file caused Illustrator CS6 64-bit to crash. Here's a Dropbox link to it:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86940762/V130520-1%20CC%20expo%20center%20billingsley% 20ford%20FS.cdr
Warning: I do not recommend other users to try opening this CorelDRAW file within Adobe Illustrator CS6. I'm sure not trying it on my installation!
This particular .CDR file doesn't have any active type in it. But it does feature some strange clipped gradient effects. I think some of this artwork was originally created in Illustrator and then saved in CorelDRAW. I'm wondering if there is some sort of way Corel tried to reinterpret the artwork that caused Illustrator to lose its mind when reopening it. If memory serves correctly I was opening some similar Illustrator-generated and then Corel-saved art in my own copy of AI CS6 64-bit when it crashed.

Do I have to run the OS (10.6.3) in 64 bit in order to get full 64 bit benefits of PS CS5?

I keep reading about the benefits of running PS in 64 bit, especially for very large files (which is most of my work). I was under the impression that applications can only use more than ~ 3GB of memory if the operating system is running in 64 bit mode. However I still run mine (Mac OS 10.6.3) in 32 bit (the default mode) and still, in the "Performance" preference panel of PS I can allocate my entire amount of RAM (14GB) for Memory Usage.
Am I getting the full benefits of 64 bit or do I have to run my OS in 64 bit?
Thanks for any bit of advice...

By default Photoshop runs in 64 bit mode. If you want to switch between 32 and 64 bit then you would need to select Applications\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Adobe Photoshop CS5.app and then press Cmd + I, or click "Get-Info" from File menu.
In the Info panel, there would be a checkbox Open in 32 bit mode. Click that and Relaunch Photoshop. It will then run in 32 bit mode. Do reverse(Uncheck that) to run Photoshop in 64 bit mode.

Update both CS6 and CS6 64-bit apps?

Adobe Application Manager is showing updates for both regular CS6 and CS6 64-bit versions of Creative Suites apps like Illustrator, Photoshop and Dreamweaver. These were both automatically installed on my system when I downloaded from the cloud. Do i need to update both? Do I even need to have both on my system?
Thanks.

The Cloud installer installs both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of some apps on 64 bit systems because we're in a transition between 32 bit and 64 bit computing.
Soon 64 bit will be everywhere. Until then some people with 64 bit systems still need occasional access to 32 bit plugins (TWAIN for scanning comes to mind http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/twain-plug-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html) which have not yet been upgraded to 64 bit by the plugin vendor. So they open 32 bit Photoshop, run their filter then close it and launch 64 bit Photoshop.

Problems with installing 32 bit app in 64 bit environment

I have 64 bit ArchLinux installation and I'm trying to install IBM SPSS Statistics v20, but I get an error:
Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported
The installer cannot run in this UI mode. To specify the interface mode, use the -i command-line option, followed by the UI mode identifier. The valid UI modes identifiers are GUI, Console, and Silent.
What can I do about it? Ubuntu solution on forums suggest that installing ia64-libs should solve the problem, but we don't have such package. Also, doing everything in the wiki for 32 bit apps doesn't help either.

Did you try specifying the interface mode?
If you don't tell people what you did...
Of course I did. By using "-i Console", i. e., right? Then I tried all of the UIs.

32-bit apps on x86_64

Hello, im a new to Arch
I have a very newbish question and I guess it has been discussed many times already, but i was not able to find answer, so here i go
I installed the 64-bit Arch linux (x86_64). It seems to run well except for that i have trouble running 32-bit apps.
At first i tried a simple 32-bit app that only uses glibc. It said "no such file or directory" or something similar.
After a bit digging i installed a 32-bit glibc. Fortunately the 32-bit glibc did not produce any file name clashes with the 64-bit glibc.
The whole system continued to work and the simple 32-bit application now worked too.
Then i tried some more complex 32-bit app, which uses other 32-bit libs (lile libX11).
This time it did not say "no such file or directory" but complained about wrong ELF type or something like that.
From that i comclude that now it finds a library with the wanted name, but it is 64-bit instead of 32-bit.
So maybe if i try to install 32-bit variant there will be file name clashes.
Is there a way to run _any_ 32-bit apps on x86_64 Arch linux? Maybe some compatibility package?
If you suggest that i recompile my 32-bit apps to 64-bit, that is not that easy and sometimes it is impossible.
For example i have some binary-only apps that are not open-source. Like, say, the game doom3.

Xyne wrote:What system can run 64-bit and 32-bit apps natively at the same time? If you think another system is doing that for you then it's probably because it hides the 32-bit libs from you.
If no distro can do what i want, then i guess i will have to stick to 32-bit linux for now. I'd hate the thought that half of my CPU stays unused tho
Ranguvar wrote:Arch'll work fine. If you don't want a chroot, then just run the 32-bit app you want, look for its error message, and install that lib32 from the AUR. If there isn't one, make one - it's very simple.
I think the problem with this is that both the 64- and 32-bit variants of some libs use the same name.
Maybe if i put the 32-bits in a different dir (like /lib32 and /usr/lib32) and somehow explain to the 32-bit dynamic loader where to look for them (or patch it)?
It would be best if it was possible to build the libs in a way to permit both 32-bit and 64-bit apps to link with them at the same time. Maybe provide 2 entry points for each exported function - one for 32-bit apps and another for 64-bit.

Redundant 32-bit apps installed by CC

Like most professionals I'm running a 64-bit OS. But Creative Cloud installed both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign on my HDD, wasting much needed space. Windows' list of installed programs does not show both versions -- so how can I unstall the redundant 32-bit apps I'll never use?
Added new tags

Hi,
You can uninstall only the version 32Bits.
Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features,select the product and click uninstall ,youw will have the choice between
32 and 64 Bits version.

How to protect an application running on Apache Tomcat app server with OAM 11gR2

Gurus,
We have an Apache Tomcat based application named "ABCD" here at client site that we want OAM 11gR2 PS1 to integrate with for SSO purposes. I have successfully configured OHS to reverse proxy requests to Apache Tomcat server whenever somebody tries to access the application URL but still, I am getting the application login page once I have successfully authenticated on OAM SSO login page. The Tomcat based application is authenticating users against a "UserDatabase realm".
I know in terms of weblogic application, there is an OAM identity asserter provider which then populates the User Principal for the java environment with the authenticated OAM user. But there is no such OAM identity provider for Tomcat.
So my question is, is there an provider (or Tomcat equivalent) which will entrust authentication to a header, that could be used to populate the Java User Principal from the OAM_REMOTE_USER header? Is the weblogic equivalent of authentication providers present in tomcat as well? Are those called valves?
Please advise to the earliest.
Thanks !!

Aakash,
I did follow the 4 steps that you mentioned to me. Out of the 4 that you had mentioned, I already had the webgate in place on OHS server and I was already passing the remote_user http header in oam policy as action.
As part of Step #2: Install mod_jk plugin on OHS server that you mentioned
1.) I downloaded the tomcat connector - tomcat-connectors-1.2.37-src
2.) I had to run ./configure,make, make install on my OHS server which runs on RHEL 6. It created the mod_jk.so file. I pasted it in the needed folder.
3.) I then created the httpd.conf file and workers.properties file as said in the connector docs.
4.) Restarted OHS.
As part of Step #3: Configure tomcat's ajp connector that you mentioned and I went through all the links pasted below but didn't find actually what needs to be in place to configure tomcat's ajp connector. I do see in the server.xml of tomcat app server that the ajp 1.3 protocol is supported:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/ajp.html
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-3.3-doc/mod_jk-howto.html#s8
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/ajp.html
http://www.mulesoft.com/understanding-tomcat-connectors

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" />

    <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />
Do we need to disable the HTTP protocol in Tomcat and keep only AJP connector enabled? If yes, how to do that?
I am trying to connect to the application from OHS server like so I am using the http protocal right? How should I use the ajp protocol to connect to tomcat application?
