Environment

Release : 8.6

Component : Gen Build Tool

Resolution

The problem is the result of switching between OPT.BITS 32 and 64 without cleaning out the <model>.ief\c folder where remnants of the previous build still exist.  Please try the following.

1. Set OPT.BITS=64

2. Clean the <model>.ief\c folder by deleting all the files or doing a Build Tool Clean.

3. Generate and install.

Since the Oracle Client 64 bit is being used, the generation and installation of the application and modules should all now match their bitness.
