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.

How to patch 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.5 on oracle Solaris spark 64 bit

Dear All,
DB version - 10.2.0.1 enterprise edition
os - oracle Solaris spark 64 bit
We want to patch the above mentioned DB version to 10.2.0.5 so that we can have the repository database of oracle enterprise manager 12.1.0.4
While looking for pre upgrade check we found.
SQL> @utlu102i.sql
Oracle Database 10.2 Upgrade Information Utility    09-02-2014 19:07:43
Database:
--> name:       RNDDB
--> version:    10.2.0.1.0
--> compatible: 10.2.0.1.0
Database already upgraded; to rerun upgrade use rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql.
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
So, My question is is it possible to upgrade/patch the above version to 10.2.0.5 and if yes can you please post the steps here .
Like the patch no which I can apply or any other way.
With Regards
Nimai Karmakar

Hi
You need to download 10.2.0.5 patchset via patch 8202632 and Install the 10.2.0.5.0 patchset on top of existing 10.2.0.X.0 ORACLE_HOME
And Finish the post installation steps as per the patchset README
Note: Please backup DB and oracle binary prior to activity.
Thank you

Oracle client 32/64 bit on Crystal Server 2013 and Windows Server 2012

I'm getting the error "Unknown Database Connector Error" when I run report on the server and it works OK on crystal designer 2013.
Been reading this thread 32&64 bit Oracle Client but not much help there.
Here are the details
System
Windows Server 2012
Crystal Server 2013 SP5
Crystal Server has been installed and appears to work fine. I was able to develop a brand new report locally and saved it to the server and it displays ok. Of course when I click on refresh on the report, it will error out due to database connection it looks like.
We have installed both oracle client drivers 64 and 32. 64 was installed first and then 32.The path has been modified so that the 32 shows up first.
I even ensure oracle_home and oracle_home32 are specified and restarted the server. I still get the same error.
The tns entries are also located in both installs of oracle client...
What might be the issue?

Oracle Database Client 12.1.0.2.0 (32-bit and 64-bit installed)
Installation Type: Custom
COMPONENTS INSTALLED:
SQLPLUS
ORACLE NET
We are currently not using an ODBC connection.
We installed Crystal 2013 Server SP05. This is the sole package installed (believe it's the latest version) without any extra patch package installed (believe no patch needed as it's the latest version).

Oracle Homes 32 bit or 64 bit ?

Hello All,
I am working on Sun Solaris Sparc 64 bit system, EBS R12.1.3.
When i have to apply apps patches, we are going with 32 bit patches. Even when we upgraded java we used 32 bit java.
Now, I have to apply some opatches to 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 Oracle Home respectively, so do i have to download 32 bit or 64 bit patches?
Please suggest!
Thanks,
Moor

why do we have this confusion, when we are on 64 bit OS and have installed 64 bit EBS software, why we are going with 32bit apps patches?
If you have EBS 64-bit running on 64-bit OS you should always look for the 64-bit patches. If the 64-bit patches are not available while 32-bit patches are then you can safely download and apply the latter.
Please see the solution section (Can the 64 bit version of patch 8888184 be applied to a 32 bit OS? (Doc ID 1054058.1)) for more explanation.
Thanks,
Hussein

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.
Many thanks,
Mohan.

Oracle 32 bit to 64 bit

hi
accidentally I installed oracle 10g windows 32 bit.
but it should be oracle 10g windows 64 bit.
Is it possible to change it? without installing new database and export/import....

I am considering a 32 bit -> 64 bit transition on 11G Windows.
I checked the 11G documentation and saw the following:
If you are installing 64-bit Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) software but were previously using a 32-bit Oracle Database installation, then the database is automatically converted to 64-bit during a patch release or major release upgrade to Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1).
You must increase initialization parameters affecting the system global area, such as sga_target and shared_pool_size, to support 64-bit operation.
Does this mean that all that is needed is a shutdown, change oracle home, copy init/spfile, and startup? At least in 11G... Did I read that correctly?
Thx

Is Oracle forms 6i (32-bit) certified to connect to Oracle database 64-bit

Is Oracle forms 6i (32-bit) ,patch 17 (windows XP -32bit) certified to connect to
Oracle database 10g(64-bit database) on a 64-bit Windows 2008 R2 Operating system ?

Well, in general 6i has been desupported. However, back when it was still supported, it was certified for use with a 10.1 db (10gR1).
Details about Forms 6i desupport can be found in MyOracleSupport in article 228666.1

Oracle 10gR2 32-bit vs 64-bit...really a big issue?

Quick question regarding 32 bit and 64 bit Env. (Oracle DB's)
We have a client who is running a 64-bit production env. and we, the support provider are running a 32-bit env. Now our goal is usually to mimic the prod env., but should we also be on a 64 bit platform if there are major differences? I mean even our App might behave differently on a 64 bit then a 32 bit. I am curious if this is a big playing factor or something small and can be ignored.

besides performance issues, 64 bit platforms are installed and configured in a slightly different way than 32 bit platorms. It has to do with libraries for 64 vs. libraries for 32 bits. Just take a look at the installation forum, there are plenty of issues related with installation, patches (os and db related), prerequisites on the 64 vs 32 platforms.
If you are planning to play the support role, you wouldn't be able to reproduce any OS issue on a 32 bit platform and your support service wouldn't be at customer's expectancies.

Installation issues on Windows 2003, Xeon processor and Oracle 9.2 (64 bit)

Hi all,
I am using a xeon 4 CPU machine with Windows 2003 (64 bit). I just downloaded Oracle 9.2 (64 bit) and found that it needs Itanium processor. Is this an absolute requirement? Can I still run it on xeon? What are the problems?

Re: 64 bit Oracle on Windows: which one to use?

64-bit vs 32-bit Oracle on Win2003

Background:
Ive been tasked to come up with the appropriate hardware/software solution for my company, an MMOLG (Massively Multiple On-Line Gaming) enterprise as it gets ramped up for two huge game releases. We use My SQL (4.x) for managing the Web Front-end, MS SQL 2000 Servers to manage the games, and Oracle to manage the billing application on the back-end. The billing application is also used for authentication (registration of new subscribers, credit card validations) and authorization (what games each subscriber can play, is their account up to date, etc.). We currently support our billing application using 32-bit Oracle (9.2.0.4) on 32-bit, clustered Win2k, using Failsafe (3.3.2) on MSCS (1.0). We have the first new game-to-be-released in Beta, and, to date, I have a similar setup except that the Oracle is 9.2.0.6, Failsafe is 3.3.3, and MSCS is 1.1. Originally, I was given to understand that each of the two new games were to be on separate Oracle instances, but now my management wants both games to be run from the same instance. Our Marketing team spit out the anticipated subscriber/subscription #s recently, and the size of the #s has given me pause I question whether or not our current system will be able to handle the # of logins (for authorization and authentication) during the so-called land-rush (the games 1st week/month of release) and that period of time immediately following an upgrade to the game (where huge #s of gamers rush to get back to playing). I also need to consider the peak # of logins during the heaviest play period times. The minimum # of gamer logins/hour I need to account for is 5-7k/hour, and the high end could be upwards of 30-45k/hour (for both games, post-upgrade case). To me, that number of logins/hour is asking a lot Windows 32-bit, perhaps the impossible.
What Ive done to date:
First I made sure that I understood what I can do with Windows, and then implemented a base test on the Beta environment by setting up Windows for VLM management. I have both the /PAE and /3GB switches enabled (I have 8GB of RAM, so the /3GB switch gets me the extra 1GB memory for shared_pool w/o being the hindrance it would be if I was using 16GB+), and I have the AWE tailored to 768MB (the minimum that, via trial and error, that I could bring Oracle up under). This has allowed me to have a shared_pool of 320MB, a java_pool and large_pool of 152MB (more on the large_pool later). To date, Ive sized the buffer_cache at 5000MB (just to prove that I could do it, and see the results). So SGA is 5362MB. Ive set the Aggregate PGA Target to 256MB.
Ive looked at 64-bit Oracle on 64-bit Win2003. 64-bit Oracle 9.2.0.7 is certified on Win2003 (Itanium only, no certification yet for the really spiffy EM64T chip set). If dedicated will not cut it for the max login load, I could consider Shared mode, knowing that I get some performance hit. Going to 64-bit Theres some test data out there (Larry Pedigo, of Performance Tuning Corp. had a nice white paper), but Ive found little else. This seems, at first blush, the best choice for a Windows shop, but who knows? Ive come across one gotcha to date, the Failsafe Manager is only 32-bit (while Failsafe is 64-bit, why Oracle did that, I do not know), so has to be installed on a separate home, on a separate 32-bit Windows machine. Ive gotten it from Oracle Support that 32-bit Oracle Client will connect w/o issue to the 64-bit Oracle server, so having the various 32-bit applications used (on separate 32-bit Win2k machines) connect to the database is not a problem.
Ive looked at putting 32-bit Oracle on a 64-bit Win2003, so if the initial load/stress tests fails (at 5-7k logins/hour) I could easily migrate Oracle to the 64-bit. From what Ive read, I would expect the 32-bit Oracle to be way too slow.
Ive looked at going to RAC as it would buy me twice the memory for the pools.
Im just starting to look at moving to Oracle on UNIX. I have yet to estimate the total cost for doing so (early guess-timate is $750k), and Id have to bring a Unix Sys Admin on-board. Up to now, Turbine has been 90% Windows, 10% Linux.
Questions for the group:
Has anyone out there had this problem to tackle?
Am I correct in thinking that Windows 32-bit would be swamped by the anticipated load?
Is anyone running 64-bit Oracle on 64-bit Win2003? If so, did you get what you expected with respect to performance? Any obstacles that you had to overcome?
Has anyone suggestions as to configuration/environment that would help me?
Any responses would be a God-send to this poor, beleaguered DBA. Thanks very much (in advance).

Wow, you have a big task at hand, and it looks very fun to build.
I say you should consider 10g r2, as it will soon (or maybe already released) run on the AMD Opteron and the EM64T now that windows 2003 is set up for these processors.
If you are not ready to go 10g, then I would seriously consider RAC for the 9i database.
and I wouldn't install 32 bit on 64bit machine. Its not supported and would give you less than desirable results

64 bit or 32 bit installation of oracle 9i - which one?

hi there - i have a sun solaris ultra 60 with 2gb ram and 32gb hdd and solaris 9-64bit on it. should i install oracle 9i 32 bit or 64 bit? Also after trying to install the 32 bit server version of Oracle 9i on the same machine we noticed a severe decrease in speed on the server but uptime doesnt show any processes taking over the machine. Any ideas? has it got anything to do with 32 bit 64 bit installation distributions for either oracle or solaris??
thanks in advance guys

If you have an instance running on it, you can query the v$version view. This will give your the 32/64 bit info.
SQL> select * From v$version;
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 8.1.7.4.0 - Production

Hi,
To find out wheter 32 or 63-bit mode
# /usr/bin/isainfo -kv
Now, switching between modes
32-bit mode
# eeprom boot-file=kernel/unix
64-bit mode
# eeprom boot-file=kernel/sparcv9/unix
or OK prompt,
32-bits mode
boot kernel/unix
64-bit mode
boot kernel/sparcv9/unix
or even,
32-bit mode
setenv boot-file kernel/unix

OS : Windows 2000 Server
Oracle 8i Server (32 bit)
2nd server (Web Server)
OS : Windows 2003 SP2 (64 bit)
Oracle 9i client (32 bit)
After i installed, oracle 9i client (32 bit) in Windows 2003 SP2 (64 bit), i managed to install and configure tnsnames and connects using SQL Plus. However, i CANNOT see Oracle in ODBC.
Que 1 : Why? Why i cannot see any Oracle in ODBC? Is it because of 64 bit?
Que 2: If i installed Oracle 9i client (64 bit), will it solve the problem?
Que 3: Will my .Net software gives problem when application installed in IIS interacts with DB server???
thanks
