I have installed BOE Server on windows 64 bit OS (2003 Server SP1)
It is installed successfully.
But issue is when I am trying to make connection with oracle client 11g, its giving error as in snapshot attached.
Possibly, the reason is that oracle 11g client is 64 bit application.
Please help me finding solution to it. Whether, issue would be resolved by installing oracle 32 bit client (with oracle database 64 bit only) on BOE server. I think would need to repair the BO installation after that.
Waiting for your valuable replies.
NOTE: Please donot lock the request as this is for reporting server and other topic is for ETL data store, both are completely different requests. Kindly read the error issues before locking the topics.
We experienced the same problem with Oracle 10g - it turns out to be a problem with the version of Oracle middleware. BusinessObjects will be installed by default in a directory like “Program Files (x86)” where all 32-bit applications are installed. Depending on your version of Oracler middleware, it cannot parse through the parens in the directory path.
Try re-installing Business Objects in another directory without parens.
I thinks we are at right track of resolution to issue…
because… in my case also… BusinessObjects have been installed in a directory having “(x86)”…
Its giving error while making connection “Cannot resolve TNS Service name”… even after I have installed 32 bit oracle client 9i for accessing 11g oracle database…
Do share your views on this… Thanks a lot in advance…
To my knowledge XI 3.0 is not supported on 64 bit Windows. The strange thing is that this is not explicitly mentioned on BO website, maybe its in Platforms.txt or Readme.txt but I havent looked at them yet.
Yes, I was able to install and work on windows 64 bit client and oracle 11g database but used oracle 10g client… didn’t want to take risk by oracle 11g client since its not mentioned in PAR document…
