The 64 bit Enigma

The reason that this paper came about is fairly simple, my co-author had an issue with

connecting a server to an Oracle database located on another server. She has an application that

needed to be migrated from one server to another in order to get it out of the development

environment and into production. Usually this is not a huge task however the system she was migrating

to is running Windows 2008 server 64 bit edition. Initially looking at it I thought that perhaps there was

an issue within Visual Studio or the Oracle installation on the server itself. In the past it been as simple

as either changing the TNSNames file to included the path to the correct database or installing some

missing component within either Visual Studio or Oracle. However, neither of these were the case it

actually turned out that both installations were correct and since this server housed some other

applications that were working correctly. It appeared that there was an different culprit to catch in the

this strange case.

The Fog lifted

After doing some research we discovered that there is an issue with BIDS (Business Intelligence

Development Studio) and connecting to an Oracle database from a 64 bit server. BIDS is a 32 bit

application based on Visual Studio 32 bit modules on either a 32 bit or 64 bit workstation or server.

Since it is 32 bit it is unable to see the 64 bit driver installed on the system. Due to this issue you can

never get BIDS to connect to Oracle on a 64 bit system with just the 64 bit version of Oracle installed!

Now we are only using the “Oracle provider for OLE DB” connecter for Oracle and not the “Microsoft

Provider for Oracle”. This, according to Jorg Klein, will lead to an even bigger mess as Microsoft has no

intention of upgrading the connector they supplied to 64 bit. Also he stated that there are a lot of

problems with running the 10g version of the Oracle client as the 10g driver cannot handle the “(x86)” in

the SQL path.

As we continued to look around the internet we came across a growing consensus as to what the

solution to this issue actually is. You needed to install both the 32 bit and the 64 bit version of Oracle on

the 64 bit workstation or server that you needed to connect from. Since the desktop we used to test

this theory with is running Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise we needed to go to the next version of Oracle

which is 11g. The examples in this document follow the installation methods used to install Oracle 11g

R1 on the workstation we tested with.

Oracle 11g R1 (32 bit Installation)

During the course of this section we will go over the

installation procedure that was used to install the Oracle client for

both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the software. We will also

discuss what steps need to be taken once both installations have

been completed. Once you have completed all of the necessary

steps you should be able to connect to any Oracle database using

the SSIS feature with in Visual Studio. We’ll start off with the 32 bit

version of Oracle since that is the first piece we need to install.

Step 1

When you start the Oracle installation you’ll need to select Advanced Installation then click “Next” (see

example 1).

Example 1

Since Oracle 11g R1 was used to

prove this solution the following

examples will show screen shots of

this version of Oracle.

Step 3

You will need to change the default directory for the Oracle Base

installation to C:\Oracle. Then feel free to keep the Oracle home

name the same for this portion of the installation. You will need

to change the Path however, for this example I have changed it to

C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\Client_32. (see example 3)

Example 3

We need to change the directory

path so we can ensure that the 32

bit installation of Oracle 11g. Is not

installed over with the 64 bit client

installation we will perform later on

in the document.

click “Next” just click “Ok” to move

on towards the next step.

Step 6

At this point you should be at the Available Product Components screen and will see a listing of the

software components that will be installed onto the workstation or server. Make sure you select

“Oracle Windows Interfaces” then you can click “Next” after selecting any other components you need

(see example 6).

Oracle 11g R1 (64 bit Installation)

Now we will cover the 64 bit portion of the installation. There are going to be some slight changes that

will need to be made so you will need to pay close attention. Once we have covered this section we will

move on to the changes that will be made in the Registry.

Step 1

The installation process is fairly close in how we are going to install this version of Oracle. The screen

captures are presented here more so to re-enforce that fact and to show what slight differences I made

when installing the 64 bit client (see example 1). Just like with the 32 bit version select the “Advanced

Installation” option.

Step 3

For this portion of the installation we need to make a few different changes. Below is a screen shot of

what we did for the 32 bit installation (see example 3).

22

Step 3a

Now for the 64 bit installation we need to keep the “Oracle Base” directory the same as the with the 32

bit install. What we are going to change are the “Name” and “Path” values under Software Location.

Change the “Name” for the Oracle home to “OraDb11g_home2” (see example 3a)”.

Example 3a

)

23

Step 3b

Then change the “Path” to “C:\Oracle\products\11.1.0\Client_64” (see example 3b). We need to keep

the 32 bit installation and the 64 bit installation separate from one another.

Example 3b

Just like we did with the 32 bit installation use your work email address for this part then click “Next”

(see example 4).

25

Step 5

At this point things return to the norm as we proceed further with our 64 bit installation. Just as we did

with the 32 bit Oracle installation you will see an “Error” under the “Status” column for “Checking

operating system requirements” (see example 5a).

Step 7

At the Create Database screen you can select “Install database Software only” unless you have a need

to create a database. Once you have made your selection you can click “Next” to proceed on with this

portion of the 64 bit install (see example 7).

default unless you have a reason to change it (see example 8). So at this point just click “Next” to move

past this screen.

with the rest of the installation (see example 10b). (Park, 2010)

Example 12b

Now that we have installed both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Oracle 11g R1. We can now move onto

the editing of the system registry on the workstation or server.

Editing the Registry

At this portion of the installation we will not need to spend too

much time on this. It will just be a few changes that need to

be made and then your workstation or server should be good

to go. I’ve also embedded within this document the registry

keys you need to change. However for reference sake and also

in case your copy of this document is slightly corrupted. You

can just make the changes manually.

Registry Keys:

Oracle32bitKey.reg

Oracle64bitKey.reg

Please keep in mind that these keys, as they should be universal, were exported from a 64 bit Windows

7 workstation. Running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit which at the time of the export was fully patched. I

personally would be skeptical importing these keys on an actual server. To do the changes manually

really isn’t that difficult to accomplish especially since you are making the same changes to both keys.

Its only the location of the keys that really makes the difference.

The 32 bit Registry Change

For the 32 bit registry key change we need to open up the registry editor. At either the “Run” or if you

are using Windows 7 or Server 2008 you can type this directly in the search field. You’ll need to type

“Regedit” to bring up the registry editor, also make sure you are an administrator on the system you are

working on. Otherwise you will be unable to make any of these changes. First we are going to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSDTC\MTxOCI and then edit the two of the registry

keys. When you are finished your 32 bit registry key should look like this:

If you feel uncomfortable with

editing the system registry. Then

you will need to contact your local

helpdesk technician or server

administrator to perform this

portion of the installation. If you

are the local support technician

then maybe you should look at

another type of work instead or

learn fast. Just Kidding!

32 Bit Registry Change Step 7

The next key we needed to change was “OracleXaLib” and the Value data needed to be modified to

“oraclient11.dll” (see step 7 example).

Step 7 example

Giving us the final result of:

The 64 Bit Registry Change

At this point we can now make our changes to the 64 bit registry key. With the above crash course you

should be able to change the next key with great success. The registry path we are changing is

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MSDTC\MTxOCI. Notice that the path

is very similar to 32 bit registry path with the exception of the “Wow6432Node” being added. Make

sure you include this as you drill down to make your changes. Once you arrive at the “MTxOCI” key the

changes you are going to make are identical to the 32 bit registry changes. At this point you can now

add in your TNSNames file and then reboot the server or workstation. Once the system is back up you

can then have a software developer or Oracle DBA test the system for connectivity via SSIS. Unless you

know how to test the connection out yourself.
