DataStage 8.7 Oracle Connector stage unable to load ccora11g.dll
Problem(Abstract)
DataStage 8.7 job utilizing Oracle Connector errors with error message "Error loading connector library ccora11g.dll. %1 is not a valid Win32 application."
Symptom
DataStage Oracle Connector job errors with message "Error loading connector library ccora11g.dll. %1 is not a valid Win32 application."
Cause
DataStage 8.7 on Windows is still a 32 bit application and therefore still requires the use of 32 bit 3rd party drivers. Either the 64 bit Oracle client libraries are installed or the Windows system environment variables PATH and LIB are still pointing to the Oracle 64 bit client install folders.
Environment
Window Server 64 bit installs with Information Server V8.7
Diagnosing the problem
1. Check if the Windows Server installation is 64 bit
2. If the Windows is 64 bit, check if the Oracle Client install is 64 bit
Resolving the problem
If Windows is 64 bit and the Oracle client installed on the DataStage Server is 64 bit, the 64 bit Oracle client needs to be uninstalled and the Oracle 32 bit client installed.
If Windows is 64 bit and the Oracle client installed is already 32 bit, check the System environment variables LIB and PATH to ensure that they do not include any 64 bit Oracle client folders and they do include 32 bit Oracle client folders instead.
