Error description
WebSphere MQ v 8.0 knowledge center states the following about configuring Oracle client: ****** If you run queue managers on Windows 64 bit systems, then both 64 bit and 32 bit Oracle clients must be installed. You must install both clients because the queue manager runs as 32 bit processes that use a 32 bit switch load file, which must in turn start a 32 bit Oracle client dll. The switch load file, loaded by 64 bit queue managers, must access the Oracle 64 bit client libraries. 32 bit queue managers must access the 32 bit Oracle client when WebSphere MQ is running on a Windows 64 bit system. ***** For MQ 8.0 on Windows, the queue manager only runs in 64 bit mode. Accordingly, there is no need for 32 bit oracle client to be installed.
Local fix
Problem summary

The switch load file, loaded by 64 bit queue managers, must access the Oracle 64 bit client libraries.
