Oracle Database 11g R2 Client for Windows (32-bit)
You would also need to download Oracle Client for Windows 32 bit. If you’re wondering that why do we need to install 32 bit client on Windows 8, which itself is a 64 bit OS – the answer is that PeopleTools development tools like PeopleSoft Application Designer and Datamover are still at 32-bit and need a 32-bit Oracle client to connect to a 64-bit database.
If you try to use 64-bit client to connect to 64 bit database, you will get this error while logging “Missing or invalid version of SQL Library PSORA (200,0)“.
