posted the following on the Citrix support forum:<br><br>Re: x64 with Oracle database \
<br>Posted: Feb 6, 2006 9:33 PM <br><br>I've done a bunch of testing on this before \
reading that little footnote in the readme (I feel dumb). What I found is basically, \
nothing Oracle works for a datastore using MPS x64. Here are my results: \
<br><br>Note: Existing farm, other servers with mps 4 are connecting using Oracle \
10.1 client just fine to the same datastore database. This server is being configured \
identically.<br><br>Oracle 10.2 64 bit client: MPS 4 x64 install does not see the \
Oracle client as an option (because the IMA services in MPS x64 are actually 32 bit, \
and hence talk to 32 bit ODBC, so it can't see a 64 bit client). "DSMAINT config \
/user:blah /pwd:blah /dsn:blah" gives an error: "cannot connect to \
datastore". I had to manually create the DSN since the install didn't see \
Oracle. <br><br>Oracle 10.2 32 bit client: MPS 4 x64 install allows you to configure \
for an Oracle datastore, but when starting the IMA service at the end of the install, \
you receive the error: "cannot connect to datastore".. \
<br><br>"DSMAINT config /user:blah /pwd:blah /dsn:blah" gives an error: \
"cannot connect to datastore".<br><br>Oracle 10.1 32 bit client: Same as \
"Oracle 10.2 32 bit client".<br>Oracle 9.2 32 bit client: Same as \
"Oracle 10.2 32 bit client".<br><br>So it appears that it indeed does not \
work. If I find a way to get around this, I'll post a reply. My guess is that Citrix \
will probably have a patch soon that enables this, since there are many customers \
using Oracle for a datastore. <br><br>regards,<br><br>Rick<br><br>Ulrich \

Oracle. <br><br><br><br>Jeff<br><br><br><br>On 2/25/06, Andy <<a onclick="return \
