Win64 32bit ODBC conundrum

I have some 32bit apps that I need to run on my Vista 64 machine. installed the 10g client in hopes of getting a 32bit ODBC driver. It sorta worked. I see the driver with the ?64bit DS manager?, however the driver DLL name is SQORA32.DLL. The version is 10.02.00.04. The driver does not show up using the 32 bit DS manager!? Anyone have any idea what is going on.

Hi,
If you see the driver in the 64 bit administrator, you installed the 64 bit driver.
To use 32 bit apps, you need to install the 32 bit client/driver.
And, btw, the ODBC forum is at ODBC .
Hope it helps,
Greg

How to use VBScript to access a 32bit ODBC System DSN (Excel) on a Windows 7 64bit system?

What is the correct way to connect to a 32bit System DSN (Excel) on a Windows 7 64bit system?
I've recently switched from Windows XP Pro x32 to Windows 7 x64. Now, one of my scripts that uses an ODBC connection will no longer work. After a bit of searching, I discovered that Windows 7 x64 does not currently have 64bit Excel drivers. However, you can set up 32-bit connections by running "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe". Unfortunately, my script still won't work even though I set up the System DSN exactly like I did on my old computer.  When I run my script, I get the following error:
Quote:
Script:  X\XML_Check.vbs
Line:  212
Char:  3
Error:  [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application.
Code:  80004005
Source:  Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Line 212 contains:
objConnection.Open "DSN=charge_codes_XLS;"
It seemed to me that wscript.exe will only communicate properly with an identical environment (x32 to x32 or x64 to x64, but not x64 to x32 or x32 to x64). With that in mind, I found a way around the error by running my script via the 32bit version of Windows Script Host. I changed the shortcut path from "X:\XML_CHECK.vbs" to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wscript.exe X:\XML_CHECK.vbs" and the script appears to function ok.
What I really want to know is if there is a way to run my script via the 64bit version of wscript.exe yet have it connect to the 32bit ODBC subsystem? Is there a specific connection string I can use or am I just out of luck until Microsoft puts out 64bit Excel drivers?

I faced the same issue recently. There was a 32bit MSOffice installed on the 64bit server and the same visual basic code worked from MS Office script debugger, and did not in the cscript/wscript.
It seems that
- the cscript/wscript used 64bit ODBC driver
- the office used 32bit ODBC driver
Excel drivers are installed for 32bit ODBC (because of 32 bit office the ODBC manager 32bit was a full hand of drivers).
Excel drivers are NOT installed for 64bit ODBC manager (because of 32 bit OFFICE) and can not be installed while the 32bit MS OFFICE is installed.
The SQL drivers are installed for 64bit ODBC (so that is why the SQL connection was established well)
The solution would be to run .js .vbs scripts in 32 bit environment:
\windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe or \windows\SysWOW64\wscript.exe

How to set 32bit ODBC connection to the application in 64 bit OS

hi,
I have BO installed in 64 Bit windows OS and the mysql data server in 32bit windows OS. i created DNS on the server for the data server. when i click on test connection, I'm getting a message
DBD:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
i think this error is due to Os .
so how do i resolve this issue?

32bit Oracle ODBC Driver on 64bit RHEL 5.9 system

I am using unixODBC as my driver manager and 32 bit Oracle Client/Driver on Linux RHEL 5.9 64bit OS. I cannot seem to get a successful test with isql with 32bit ODBC Driver, i get success with 64bit ODBC Driver.

It is possible to get 32bit drivers to work on 64bit OS as long as the application you're using is 32bit.
Did you make sure that your unxiODBC driver manager is 32bit, that you have specified the 32bit libraries (also the 32bit Oracle client) in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and that you're also using the 32bit isql?
What's the error message you're getting?

Cannot see ODBC driver as a data source

Hi
I've installed both the Win32 and Win64 11.2g clients on our Win2008R2sp1 server.
I can get my connection to test fine from c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe (the 32bit ODBC Admin panel), and from sqlplus and sqldeveloper (all on the "client_2" x32bit product).
I've set ORACLE_HOME to the 32bit product.
D:\>echo %ORACLE_HOME%
D:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_2
I have Strawberry Perl x32 installed and a x32bit VB Application. Neither will connect.
Perl...
D:\>perl -MDBI -le "my $h = DBI->connect('dbi:ODBC:dbase02',rouser,rouser); $h->disconnect()"DBI connect('dbase02','rouser',...) failed: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (SQL-IM002) at -e line 1
On my App I get
S1000: [oracle]p[ODBC][Ora]ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
As I've said, the System DSN is on the 32bit ODBC Panel and is 'test's fine from there.
Oddly enough I have a few identical servers where I'd set up connections that work fine, using the same setup. Could be we've had a patch that messed things up? Any ideas on how to get roud the SQL-IM002 or ORA-12560 error would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: on servers where we have a working System DSN, if I simply clone it (open existing, change TNS Name and Identified and Save) the cloned 'new' System DSN works fine. However if I create it from scratch it does not! So something is prohibiting me from creating new System DSN entries that are accepted/read by the ODBC Driver???
Many Thanks
Kieran

Visual Studio 2010 64bit cann't connect Oracle database through 64bit ODBC Driver

Hi,
I am developing an 64bit And-In software. My OS is windows7 64bit Ultimate. Developer tool is
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate 64bit any-CUP.
Server is SUN server and Oracle database 10.2.0.5 64bit enterprise edition.
I have installed instantclient-odbc-win64-10.2.0.5 on my computer.
I am able to connect through the command line sqlplus user/pass@server.
In date source(c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe), ODBC Driver connection successful.
But in VS2010 C#, use Tools -> Connect Database,I get an error 193 (Oracle in
instantclient10_2,c:\ora10_64\SQORA32.dll) cann't be loaded.
SQORA32.dll is 32bit ODBC Driver or 64bit ODBC Driver?
How can I connect database with vs2010 64bit?
Regards

There is no Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate 64bit as far as I know. It's a 32 bit app. Generally you'd need to install a 32 bit client to use the 32 bit tools.
Hope it helps,

ODAC - 32bit only?

I am trying to download ODAC for a Win64 bit web server from Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) for Windows Downloads
I can only find 32 bit for the following: ODAC 11.2 Release 5 and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (11.2.0.3.20)
Is there a 64 bit out there? Or do I have to install this and use 32bit ODBC??
Thanks!

Select the 64-bit download from the main page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/downloads/index.html
Also, the ODP.NET forum is located over this way:
https://forums.oracle.com/community/developer/english/oracle_database/windows_and_.net/odp.net/content
Probably a better forum for ODAC questions rather than Database/General.

MS Visual Studio 2005 + Oracle 10g = Cannot connect to ODBC error: 12154

Hi there!
I've read so many threads of same kind of problems but always some key elements seems to be missing so I cannot solve my problem with the solutions in those threads. So, I'll do my own.
Our environment is...
We have Oracle 8 database with all the data that we have. Now we have our new server, SQL Server 2005 installed and I am trying to transfer data from Oracle to SQL using MS Visual Studio 2005 using available ODBC drivers. System is Windows 2003 64Bit on intel based hardware.
Current installations and settings
I have installed Oracle 10g 32bit and 64bit to separate foldes. Then I made tnsnames and sqlnet files with right settings to specified folders and tested connection with tnsping <servername> command.
Both, 64bit and 32bit connections are working. (Used 32bit CMD for 32bit connection test)
ODBC
I added Microsoft ODBC for Oracle as 32bit driver and Oracle 10g driver for 64bit environment as ODBC driver.
Both environments uses same ODBC names: Myserver and Mytestserver
Debug
First, when I only had 64bit version of ODBC, I had a warning which said that I am using incompatible version of ODBC driver. Then I read from here that I can install 32bit client also and use drivers from that on 32bit ODBC environment and get rid of that message.
Tried to connect Oracle DB with SQL-Plus and it works.
Visual studio 2005 SP2
I have tried to use .Net Providers/Oracle Client dataprovider and .Net Providers for OleDB/Microsoft Old DB for Oracle and also .Net Providers for OldDB/Oracle provider for OldDB
Frist two gives me an error: ORA-12154 TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Last one says that OraOldDB.oracle.1 is not registered on local machine
I have absolutily no idea what I can try next?
Anyone who has more ideas? Suggest anything. I might have tried that already, but give a shot anyway. :)

Access 2007 ODBC connect to Oracle 10g

I have configured MSAccess 2007 on my laptop with a ODBC data source to my Oracle Database and I can link to tables in the Oracle database and everything works.
I have placed the Access Database on a 64 bit server running Window 2003 r2 Enterprise x64 edition.
I have both the 32 bit Oracle 10g client and the 64 bit client installed on the machine.
I have configured a 32bit ODBC data source using the 32 bit Oracle ODBC driver.
When I click on the test connection button while setting up the data source it reports "Connection Successful"
I have configured the registry entires (for 32 bit and 64bit) with TNS_ADMIN =the location where we have our sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files.
These files were configured to support the applications which run on this same server and they all function properly.
When I attempt to create a link table in Access, I select the datasource and I enter the password I receive an ORA-12154 error.
Any suggestions ?
Thank You

Thank YouProbably looking at the wrong tnsnames.ora.
Or your sqlnet.ora doesn't match the other with regard to DEFAULT_DOMAIN
Or your password has an "@" in it.

64bit CR-Enterprise wont talk with 32bit data source, 32bit IDT wont use 64bit connection for universe. How do I connect them.

Hi.
I installed the full suite of tools as I am involved with a company intended to become a partner and reseller so we are trying to get everything working.
SAP Crystal Server 2013 SP1
BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform
SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
SAP HANA
SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP1
SAP BusinessObjects Explorer
SAP Crystal Dashboard Design 2013 SP1
Crystal Server 2013 SP1 Client Tools
SAP BusinessObjects Live Office 4.1 SP1
.NET SDK
I found out that BI was needed only after I installed all the others but I installed it without problem.
My issue is that the Information Design Tool (IDT) which creates my universes successfully, and even lets me open and see the dada no problem. Is using a 32bit (ODBC connected to SQL Server 2008) data source.
However, I am unable to load the .UNX in crystal reports (CR) 2011, so I used CR Enterprise (CRE) to connect to my universe. Now when I try to open the universe I start getting the following error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
When I do searches online I get very generic information relating to setting up data sources. While I believe the problem is indeed with the data source, I don't believe it is setup wrong.
When I access the universe using the IDT (which uses the 32bit version of the data source to build its connection, it wont let me use a 64bit) I can load a table under the "result objects for query #1" press refresh, I get a list of data.
When I access the same universe using CRE (which "Seems" to use a 64bit data source, but I am not sure), and follow the same process as above. I get the above error.
If I cancel the process, when CRE lists the fields for the report I can later manually map these fields to an ODBC connection. But if I have to do this what is the point of using the universes at all as the end user has full access to all the various DB's available in the data source.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

On the server where Crystal Reports Server is installed, create a 64-bit ODBC connection with the same name as the 32-bit connection. CRS will then automatically use the 64-bit version of the connection.

Can't create ODBC connection in Windows Server 2012R2

I just finished installing the instant client & odbc connection on Windows Server 2008R2. I then attempted to perform the same installation on a new Windows Server 2012R2 instance and encountered the following issue.
After extracting the contents of the 64bit instant client & odbc files into c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1, adding this to the path statement, and adding a TNS_ADMIN environmental variable, I successfully ran odbc_install.exe from an admin cmd window. I then opened the 64bit ODBC Data Source Administrator, clicked add, selected the Oracle in instantclient_12_1, and clicked finish. As soon as I did so, I received the following error: "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient_12_1 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126: The specified module could not be found. (c:\oracle\instantclient_12_1\SQORAS32.dll)"
I uninstalled the odbc client (odbc_uninstall.exe) and attempted again with the 32bit version & 32bit odbc configuration screen. I get the exact same result with 32bit as I do with 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently I needed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package for the correct DLLs

Hi,
I am running Netweaver 7 and ERP2005.
J2EE support pack is 9. The sap note that you mentioned is for NW2004 and our system is running on NW2004s.
Now I am trying to reconfigure the sld. In case if you can suggest me another solution, I will be very happy to try that out...

WIS: 10901 Data source name not found and no default driver specified(ODBC)

Hi, gurus.
We've created a universe based on Excel spredsheet or MS Access which is using ODBC connection. Then, I try to create query (which is using these universe) in QAAWS or in InfoView, and when I add a filter object to the query, the error occurs:
"GetDatasourceObject LOV exception (error WIS: 10901)".
If I don't choose any filter options and want to create query, I'm getting the error: ' [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (error WIS: 10901)'.
We tried to do this in different operations systems - Windows 7 (32 bit) and XP (32 bit).
Anymore, we can use this universes at web intelligence rich client with or without filters.
Need to solve this problem. Please help us.

Dear all,
I got the same problem, I have installed BOE 4.0 at Win XP 64 bits, and also installed Sybase IQ 15.2 (32bit) ODBC, and has create the odbc entry "shkdemo" at the System Tab. However, I still got the same error when using the the "Interactive Analysis" thru "BI Launch pad".
For BOE 4.0, I found that I could only use the BOE Client tools (Universal Design Tool) to create the connection, this client tool I installed it at another 32 bit XP laptop, and I also installed the Sybase IQ 15.2 (32bit) ODBC with the same odbc entry "shkdemo", and using the "Interactive Analysis Desktop, I could be able to create report with data from IQ 15.2.
Kindly advise, why I still got the error of "10901 Data source name not found and no default driver specified(ODBC)" when I use the "Interactive Analysis" thru "BI Launch pad".

Remember the client tools are 32 bit, BOE 4.0 is 64 bit. Thus a document using a 32 bit client will connect to 32 bit ODBC datasource. A 64 bit application (BOE 4.0) will be looking for 64 bit ODBC datasource. You mention you installed Sybase IQ 15.2 (32bit) ODBC which is great for the 32 bit client tools, but 64 bit BOE will not be able to use this.

Sudden failure of 32-bit Oracle 11g ODBC driver in 64-Bit Win7 box

I had a working ODBC connection to an Oracle DB using the 32-bit 11g ODBC driver. Suddenly I was unable to connect, getting the error:

For a strange twist, the connection works perfectly with the workstation in Safe Mode. I've tried disabling Symantec Endpoint Protection, and adjusting the Firewall, but so far no dice. Any advice I can get will be appreciated!

How do you get the 32bit client to communicate with the 64bit Oracle instance on the same windows box? After installing the 64 bit db and client (on a developer desktop), I installed the 32 bit client to a different oracle home. I could not get it to connect to the listener - what am I doing wrong? Should I reinstall it to the 64bit home - I'm afraid that'll kill everything though.
Also, I think I'm correct in this, but not sure: any 32bit app must use the 32bit client on the 64bit box. MS Access needs 32bit ODBC, which needs 32bit client, etc.
Thx,
Jeff

MySQL ODBC driver (32 bit) linked server, architecture mismatch

Hello,
I am trying to create a linked server in SQL 2012 Management Studio with a MySQL external server. I have used the 32bit ODBC driver as instructed by the developer, following this rule:
To manage a data source that connects to a 32-bit driver under 64-bit platform, use c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe.
My connection is fine using the ODBC connector, but when I try to create the linked server I get an architecture mismatch error: The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application Error 7303.
Can someone help?
Best regards

Hello,
What's the bit verison of the SQL Server ?
Based on your description, you create a DSN connect to MySQL database with 32 bit MySQL ODBC driver under 32bit ODBC Administrator tool (sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe).
When you create linked server on SQL Server instance, it will use 64 bit Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers if the bit version of SQL Server is 64 bit. That may cause the error you received. In that case, please download 64bit MySQL ODBC driver and
create a DSN with 64 bit ODBC Administrator tool.

If I have any misunderstanding, please correct me.
