Everyone play nice: BOLT, OLEDB, Oracle, 64-bit Windows

May 27, 2011 With 64-bit machines becoming more and more prevalent, we’ve seen some confusion popup around installing and using applications. Is the app 32-bit? 64-bit? which database provider do I use? Is my web app 32 or 64 bit? etc. It’s confusing. No doubt. tl; dr Short answer:  If you’re on a 64-bit machine, and using Oracle, use the 64-bit Oracle provider for OLE DB for BOLT. 64-bit Windows explained There’s a great post from last year that “explains 64 bit”: Programs are still in the same place, in %ProgramFiles%, unless you need the 32 bit version, which is in %ProgramFiles(x86)%, except on a 32 bit machine, where it’s still %ProgramFiles%. All those dll’s are still in %SystemRoot%System32, just now they’re 64 bit. The 32 bit ones, they’re in %SystemRoot%SysWOW64. You’re with me so far, right? Oh, and the 16 bit ones…

Check the Clarify Routing Service & Restart

July 10, 2007 A script for Windows that uses the native WMI interface and Windows Scripting Host to check the routing server and restart it if necessary. This script does not require MKS, and it will run on Windows 2000 and .NET servers by default, and NT 4.0 if the add on for WMI has been installed.The script loops thru installed services, and when it locates the Clarify Routing Service, it checks to see if the service is running. If not, then the script attempts to start the service, otherwise it simply exits.The script should be scheduled to run as a Scheduled Task with a high frequency.It writes entries to the event log when it attempts to start the service and when the service fails to start. http://www.dovetailsoftware.com/download/user_contributed/check_service.zipThanks to Christopher Bennage for sharing this code!
