Hi Hananto,
Actually, for AIX, only 64 bit is certified for the database. AIX 5.3MLcan be
installed so that you can run the 32 bit apps, and the 64 bit
database on a single node. Take a look at the certification matrix in
metalink. Here is some of the information that it contains – please take
note of the RDBMS information stating 64 bit *ONLY* – and review all of
those notes. They will help you set up your AIX environment appropriately.

Hello,
I would like to know : what about AIX 5.3 ML04 64 bit (committed), is it
certified to run apps tier also ?
Please advice.
Regards,
Hananto.

yes 32 bit applications can run on 64 bit platforms but not all of them
supported by oracle. if it is x86_64 or EMD64 and applications running on
this platform it is not supported, so if you want to use 64 bit oracle
database, you have to set up split configuration, oracle dabatase on 64 bit
platform and applications on 32 bit platform then it is supported by
oracle...

Hello Jurijs,
I beg to differ with you on this one. 32-bit applications can run of
64-bit platforms. Correct me if I am wrong. Concurrent Manager is just a
binary sir, not a database.

Hi,
Then the answer would be that it doesn't metter. It rather depends on
how many memory you have got on you Linux box. Does it support 64bits
and if there will some other 32bit processes running on DB server.
If you have got brand new 64bit Intel/ADM server with 8-16-32GB memory.
If Concurrent Managers are runing on others servers (as those can't be
run on 64 platform).
then go with split DB Apps configuration and use 64 bit Linux for
running DB part.
Apps still have to be running on 32 bits platform.
