Can a 32 bit OpenEdge client connect to a 64 bit OpenEdge server

[philippoommen1]

Hi,

OS: - R2 WIN 2008 Server 64-bit.
Progress installed :- OE Enterprise RDBMS 10.2B 64-bit

I started the Database in the above Server.

Now I am trying to esablish a client connection from another PC, where I installed the open edge studio 10.2B 32-bit.

Is it possible to connect to that database? I am getting connect error 1432. What could be the reason? (I am able to start a local client with in Database Server)

TIA
Philip

Yes you can ...

But you need to make a connection via TCP. A shared memory connection will fail. Usually the error 1432 indicates that your connection parameters are not correct ( invalid host name or ip port, usually ).

You would need to reveal the exact error message you get ...

Heavy Regards, RealHeavyDude.

AFAIR, there is no 64 bit client, so it is the only way to connect!

There is no 64 bit gui client (prowin32). The character client (_progres) of a 64-bit installation is 64-bit.

Still obviously no problem with 32 bit client and 64 bit server.
