Error Message
When using direct connect with ArcSDE on a 64-bit operating system, the following error message is encountered:
"Failed to connect the specified server. Server library could not be loaded."
"Failed to connect the specified server. Server library could not be loaded."
Cause
Because ArcGIS Desktop is a 32-bit operating system application, it cannot work with applications created with 64-bit operating system libraries.
Solution or Workaround
Uninstall the Oracle Net Client 64-bit version and install the Oracle Net Client 32-bit version on the 64-bit operating system. Also, ensure the Oracle Net Client's full version matches the Oracle database's full version (for example, 10.2.0.4).
Still it is very hard to work around the error!
