Thread: SalesLogix OLEDB Provider 7.01 for 64 bit machine

SalesLogix OLEDB Provider 7.01 for 64 bit machine Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have installed SLX OLEDB Proveider on a 64 bit machine. I get the following error when I try to access it through DataLink:

"Provider is no longer available. Ensure that the provider is installed properly."

The solution vehiculated on the net is to compile the application which is accessing the OLEDB provider for a 32 bit machine(Platform target = x86). So I did, but still it is not working. The application is a .NET 2.0 assembly.

What else can I do?

BTW, I have tested the application on a 32 bit machine and it is working correctly.

When speaking with SLX support recently it was mentioned that the 64-bit OS is not supported by the provider.

I don't know much about SalesLogix. However, a quick google search suggests that it is ODBC Compliant. If this is the case, can you use a 64bit OLE DB Bridge Provider with your original 64bit application? My company makes 64bit OLE DB bridge providers for AMD and Itanium platforms, so I know they exist. Originally, Microsoft did not have its own 64bit provider, but I know it is scheduled to be released. In fact, some feedback suggests its already out in some form. This may be worth looking into.

It *used* to be compliant - but is no longer. You *must* use the SLX OLE DB Provider. I suggest that Veronka upgrades to 7.2 rather than 7.01 - you shouldn't need to do anything else. Beware, however, that the provider is still 32bit (and there's no way in hell Veronka recompiled it !) so will only utilise 32bit calls.

That is not a solution right now. We will upgrade to 7.2 most likely next quarter.... BUT maybe my initial solution can be solved in a different way.

This is what I am trying to do:

We will have our Sales data in SalesForce and we need to move some of this data for Customer Support which is still using SLX.

Integration/Sync between the 2 systems is done by a third party tool which is using SQLServer2005 as an endpoint. Our SQLServer2005 is a 64 bit machine.

When inserting a new record through this tool I need to return a valid ID ....

So my solution was:

1) Create a .NET 2.0 assembly whih will connect through SLX provider and it will return a correct ID
2) Create a CLR stored procedure which will reference the assembly.... return the SLX nice ID ...and voila .... my headich is gone.

Not entirely true.... IN fact this was brought up at a recient BPAC Product committee meeting by me (yep.. I'm a member)...

All SalesLogix components are 32 bit.. but they are supposed to install on and behave "properly" in 64 bit systems. If they do not.. it's a BUG.. plain and simple no matter what you are hearing from Tech Support.

.. and yes.. there IS consideration going on about making a 64 bit version of the SalesLogix "Server" (provider back end)... but don't hold your breath.. however do PUSH to get it done!
