Hello Experts,
I have just Installed SAP IDM 7.2 SP 10 on windows server 2008 64 bit.
Here database is Oracle 11g and 64 bit database client has been also installed on the Management Console server, Run time server and VDS server.
We have also installed 64 bit JVM
After completion of installation of Management console when I tried to add new Identity Center, I could not find "Oracle Provider for OLE DB" in the OLE DB Provider(s) list. Attached the screenshot.
As per the Installation docs (Screenshot Attached), we need to install the 32-bit version of the Oracle client if you run a 32-bit Java Virtual Machine.
Here, I am using 64-bit Java Virtual Machine so i thought to go with the 64-bit Oracle client however next sentence "The Management Console requires a 32-bit version of the database client" confused me now.
Is it mandatory to install the 32-bit Oracle client (mandatory if database is Oracle) as The Management Console requires a 32-bit version of the database client?
or,
We need to install 32-bit Oracle Client only when we want to use 32-bit JAVA Virtual Machine.
Fedya Toslev, Christopher Leonard : Please Confirm.
I have already gone through the earlier relevant SCN post Oracle Provider for OLE DB not available in list of providers, "Oracle provider for OLE DB" missing in the Data Link Properties Oracle Provider for OLE DB not available in list of providers
and found the answer by Matt Pollicove that
"If you are using Oracle as your database system, make sure to install the 32-bit version of the
Oracle client if you run a 32-bit Java Virtual Machine on Microsoft Windows. This will be the
case on the server running the Identity Center Management Console.
Oracle 11
For Oracle 11, the 32-bit client must be downloaded separately.
If you install the 32-bit and 64-bit client on the same server, remove the 32-bit client from
PATH."
This answer has been posted for older version of SAP IDM 7.2.
Wanted to know that is there any way to use Oracle Client 64 bit for SAP IDM 7.2 SP10? If yes then what steps I need to follow to get "Oracle Provider for OLE DB" in OLE DB Provider(S) list.
