Hi Ram !
If you desire to backup Oracle 32 bits...you then need TDP and TSM API 32
bits version.
If you desire to backup Oracle 64 bits...you then need TDP and TSM API 64
bits version.
In your case, you will have to install the TDP 32 and 64 bits as well as
TSM API 32 and 64 bits.
There is no issue having both bits version on the same machine. You will
use different user
with different dsmi configuration in the user envoironment.

Best Regards, Steve

Subject:    TDP for Oracle 32-bit and 64-bit


I am in a bit of bind here and am wondering if anyone can help. Here is my
environment:



OS AIX 5.2 64-bit kernel

Oracle 9.2.0.5 64-bit

Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 32-bit (I have both versions of Oracle running and have
databases at both levels)

TDP for Oracle 5.2 64-bit



The problem I am running into is that database backups for 9i run fine.
When
it comes to running 8i backups they fail. I am guessing this is because of
32-bit oracle trying to use 64-bit TDP. My question is can I have both TDP
32-bit and 64-bit running at the same time? If so, do I need to be doing
some special configuration? What kind of problems should I expect? Is there
a work around solution to use 64-bit TDP libraries without having to
install
32-bit TDP code?

Any insights would be helpful.



Thank you,

Ram
