Uniface 8.4.05.01 and 32-bit Oracle 11G2 Client on 64-bit Windows Server 2008

Author: dwesolowski@hotmail.com (dwesol)

We are migrating our citrix environment from 32-bit windows server 2003 to 64-bit windows server 2008, but we have an application that needs uniface 8.4.  I have installed the 32-bit Oracle 11G R2 Client, but the uniface install will not start.  I have also tried compatibility mode with no success.  Is there a way to get this configuration to work?  Upgrading uniface at this time is not an option. The exact build of uniface we are running is 8.4.05.01 (D506 0914_1) Date: September 14, 2007 I understand this has been out of support for quite some time, I would just like to know if there is a way to get it to run on a 64-bit server.   Thank you!

Can you clarify please? Does Uniface really not start or does it not want to connect to Oracle? What do your Uniface log files say?

Hi, upgrading Uniface to latest version is always the best choice but if you really can't you can always make use of client - server compatibility within your database engine. Oracle is known having a generic policy to support with its client at least the previous and the next server version but sometimes limitations apply... Oracle call this functionality "Client/Server interoperability" with a matrix defining possible choices. You can find latest matrix at: https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=207303.1 (an Oracle login is required). A free to access snapshot of the matrix (dec 2013) can be found at: http://www.rocky-miko.com/?p=469 Good luck!
