Installing a 32-bit Database Client

PORTTEST will fail if the Enterprise Server does not have an appropriate 32-bit database client installed. This database client is required in order for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to communicate with any database (local or remote). Regardless of whether your Enterprise Server is 32-bit or 64-bit, it is important that the database client be 32-bit so that it works properly with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, which is a 32-bit application.

For Oracle databases, the installation of the database client is the same as that for the Deployment Server, which is described in the chapter of this guide entitled: Working with the Deployment Server in the section entitled: Installing a 32-Bit Oracle Database Client. For other-than-Oracle databases, the concept is the same and you will need to obtain the appropriate client from your database vendor.
