Stupid question: Difference between 32bit and 64bit 10g Client?

We have an application (Informatica 8, 32bit) for which the vendors claim they only support a 32bit client. Oracle does not ship a word-size specific client for 10g. This leads me to believe that 32bit vs 64bit is really innocuous and perhaps irrelevant. For my own curiosity, is the 10g client (not Instant Client) actually 32bit or 64bit?

Hi,
Note that you can always run 32-bit apps on a 64-bit client . . . . .
There are separate clients for 32-bit and 64-bit instant clients:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
Instant Client for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
Instant Client for Microsoft Windows 64-bit Itanium
Instant Client for Microsoft Windows (x64)
Instant Client for Linux x86
Instant Client for Linux x86-64
Instant Client for Linux Itanium
Instant Client for Linux AMD64 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Instant Client for Linux on Power (32-bit)
Instant Client for Linux on Power (64-bit)
Instant Client for z/Linux (32-bit and 64-bit)
Instant Client for Mac OS X (Intel x86)
Instant Client for Mac OS X (PPC)
Instant Client for Solaris Operating System (SPARC) (64-bit)
Instant Client for Solaris Operating System (SPARC) (32-bit)
Instant Client for Solaris x86
Instant Client for Solaris x86-64
Instant Client for HP-UX PA-RISC (64-bit)
Instant Client for HP-UX PA-RISC (32-bit)
Instant Client for AIX5L (64-bit)
Instant Client for AIX5L (32-bit)
Instant Client for HP Tru64 UNIX
Instant Client for HP-UX Itanium (64-bit)
Instant Client for HP-UX Itanium (32-bit)
Hope this helps. . .

Qosmio F50-10M - Difference between 32bit and 64bit BIOS

Hello,
I use WindowsVISTA-32bit SP2, and my BIOS is up to date (2.0 32bit I suppose). What are the differences between 32 oder 64 bit version of the BIOS? What would happen if I flash fw of BIOS to 64bit altough using VISTA32 and vice versa?
I think about changing to a 64bit system (propably Win7 Ultimate OEM or LINUX), does it make sense changing?
Thank you guys in advance!
Yours,
Stamind_1

> But what would happen if I change my OS from 32 to 64bit without updating the BIOS, or if I change back from 64 to 32 after updating BIOS to 64bit? Do I have to expect difficulties/errors?
Nobody would be able to say what would happen!
Usually you should not notice any serious hardware problems but possibly the notebooks parts like cooling modules, WLan, or other functions like multimedia control buttons would not work as it should.
If there is no other BIOS then you have to use the one which is available on the Toshiba European driver page if there are more BIOS versions for different operating systems then you have to use the one which has been designed for the certain Windows OS.

Difference between 32bit and 64bit Weblogic 10.3.3 Installer

Hi,
I would like to understand what is the difference in terms of files/libraries in 32bit & 64bit installer of WLS10.3.3.
We have installed 32bit WLS10.3.3 and would like to upgrade to 64 bit version of WLS ( OS is 64bit Linux). If we just update the JDK to 64bit, will it work. Or do we need to include some more libraries WLS installation.
Would appriciate suggestions in this regard.

Since you are connecting via JDBC that shouldn't be a problem.
I have no issues connecting a Weblogic Server running in a 32bits host to a Oracle database running in a 64bits host.
Cheers,
Vlad

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.

Automatic posting question: differences between bsd and prd

Hi to everyone. Although I searched for everywhere I know (including SAP help) I couldn't find a proper answer for my question "what are the differences between transactions "BSD - inventory posting" and "PRD - Cost (price) differences" ?". it seems as if both of thhese transactions are posting in case of cost differences between goods receipt and invoice receipt (and also there must be a stock movement). I will be very thankful vor a dtailed answer.
thanks in advance.
Mehmet Akif EREK
MM module responsible

Hai,
Both BSD & PRD are the Pre defined Transaction event keys used in a SAP Std system. TO understand the BSD, firstly know the BSX ( diff bet BSX & BSD ).
 Stock posting (BSX)
This transaction is used for all postings to stock accounts. Such postings are effected, for example:
o In inventory management in the case of goods receipts to own stock and goods issues from own stock
o In invoice verification, if price differences occur in connection with incoming invoices for materials valuated at moving average price and there is adequate stock coverage
o In order settlement, if the order is assigned to a material with moving average price and the actual costs at the time of settlement vary from the actual costs at the time of goods receipt
Because this transaction is dependent on the valuation class, it is possible to manage materials with different valuation classes in separate stock accounts.
Caution
Take care to ensure that:
o A stock account is not used for any transaction other than BSX
o Postings are not made to the account manually
o The account is not changed in the productive system before all stock has been booked out of it
Otherwise differences would arise between the total stock value of the material master records and the balance on the stock account.
Account determination of valuated sales order stock and project stock
Note that for valuated sales order stock and project stock (special stock E and Q) and for the transaction/event keys BSX andGBB, you must maintain an account determination to avoid receiving warning messages when entering data (purchase order or transfer posting) for valuated stock.
During data entry, the system attempts to execute a provisional account determination for GBB for valuated stock. The system will only replace the provisional account determination for GBB with the correct account determination for the stock account (BSX), in the background, if you enter the data for valuated stock at a later point in time.
Supplementary entry for stock (BSD)
This account is posted when closing entries are made for a cumulation run. This account is a supplementary account to the stock account; that is, the stock account is added to it to determine the stock value that was calculated via the cumulation. In the process, the various valuation areas (for example, commercial, tax), that are used in the balance sheet are taxed separately.
Now the details of PRD T/E key :
Price differences arise for materials valuated at standard price in the case of all movements and invoices with a value that differs from the standard price. Examples: goods receipts against purchase orders (if the PO price differs from the standard pricedardpreis), goods issues in respect of which an external amount is entered, invoices (if the invoice price differs from the PO price and the standard price).
Price differences can also arise in the case of materials with moving average price if there is not enough stock to cover the invoiced quantity. In the case of goods movements in the negative range, the moving average price is not changed. Instead, any price differences arising are posted to a price difference account.
Depending on the settings for the posting rules for transaction/event key PRD, it is possible to work with or without account modification. If you use account modification, the following modifications are available in the standard system:
o None for goods and invoice receipts against purchase orders
o PRF for goods receipts against production orders and
order settlement
o PRA for goods issues and other movements
o PRU for transfer postings (price differences in the case
of external amounts).

Lingo question - difference between "generified" and "parameterised"?

Hi,
I have a question on the Lingo used in generics:
What is the difference between saying something is generified and saying something is parameterised?
Thanks

Funny, on Google the most relevant search result I get leads back here.
I'm not sure if anybody has a precise definition for these, but if I had to differentiate between the two I'd say:
Generification - Taking a class or method that doesn't use generics and retrofitting it to use generics. E.g.
From something like this:
public class SomeClass{
public Object getValue();
}to this:
public class SomeClass<T> {
public T getValue();
Parameterization/typing - Using a typed form of a class or method instead of the raw form. E.g.
From something like this:
private List myList; //of Stringsto this:
private List<String> myList;But I've seen each used to describe the other. It's really context that is the distinguishing factor. A generified or parameterized or typed class or method is one that is implemented with type parameters, whereas a generified or parameterized or typed reference or field or method call is one that supplies type parameters.

Export & import between 32bit and 64bit windows

I need to move a schema over from a 32-bit windows machine to a 64-bit windows machine.
both machines are network mapped,
so
I exp it out from 32 machine
copy and paste from 32 to 64 machines
then imp into 64 machine
and get this error
IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
machine oracle utilities are:
Export: Release 10.2.0.1.0
Import: Release 10.2.0.1.0
help please.

Are you using original exp/imp or data pump?
exp/imp should be able to handle 32bit to 64bit transport.
It's either your dump file got corrupted during transfer.
Or your database server is not same version as your utilities. Please verify and post your Oracle server version.

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

Difference between Legal and Managerial consolidation?

Hi,
Can you guys please share your knowledge for this question
Difference between Legal and Managerial consolidation?
Thanks,
Charly

This is quite a general question and should not be answered only in context of BPC.
Paraphrasing your question is not really a help.
In general a Legal Consolidation is one whose purpose is to meet statutory requirements [whereever/whatever they are].
For example generating data for Shareholders on an annual basis in Glossy Annual reports.
A managerial consolidation may be similiar in several ways, but focuses on internal factors and may have a different entity structure than that of the Legal structure. Management reports are typically used at the end of any given reporting cycle (actual/budget/forecast etc) and allow 'management' to guage the performance/review the data of their business.
I suggest looking this up on the various financial websites, where you will get better definitions.
Of course in BPC it is possible to do Legal consolidations without 'legal ownership cubes' and this is what many 4.2 customers have done.
In modern BPC i would check the scope of the consolidaton requirements before choosing any 'bpc consolidation methodology'
Raghu's links are also useful in context of BPC.

What is the difference between form6i and form10g

Respected Guru's,
I actually want to know the difference between form6i and form 10g.
Is it bad or good to work on form 6i as compare to form 10g.
plez help me.

The biggest difference is between 6i and 10g is that 6i is client-server and 10g is Webforms(although you can run 6i forms as web).
It's always best to use the latest version: new features, solved bugs and of course support wise.

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.

Difference between pi and 10g?????

hello expert,
as there is a difference between 9i and 10 g is
grid . G stand for grid.
how to implement grid in 10 g.
thanks
yash

How to implement grid depends on your scale. If you have one or two databases, you can function fine with dbconsole and whatever your OS provides. If you have 10,000 databases, you probably need grid. If you have 10 databases, you probably need grid, though that might be debatable depending on what already exists.
pi is 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286 208998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128481

Approximately. That is quite different than 10g, though I'm uncertain how to quantify that.

Difference between forms6i and 10g

Is there a big Difference between forms6i and 10g? Can someone with 6i experience use forms 10g without problems?
Thanks

In our company Forms applications are still developed in 6i C/S, but they run without modifications, just recompilation, on
- 6i C/S (obviously :-))
- 6i Forms server
- 9i Forms services 9.0.2
- 10g Forms services 9.0.4
- 10g Forms services 10.1.2
We have customers with all these architectures on Linux and Windows, and they have DBs from 7.3.4 to 10g.

Stupid question: Difference between 32bit and 64bit 10g Client?
