Irfan & ALL, Just let me put in as simple as that: - Have you seen or heard about any 11i instance which is running successfully on any Linux 64 platform? I haven't. Knowing how big is EBS technology layer and how complex it is I will not even try to consider to install EBS on 64bit Linux unless I will receive positive answer o the question above or official statement from Oracle. I have asked on of my colleagues to raise a SR recently (working on one EBS TA) in order to ask official Oracle statement. And it was NO ! Oracle doesn't support EBS 11i on 64bit platform unless you are running split cfg (then DB can be on 64 bits). BTW: I will be more then happy to get a positive answer :) As this limits significantly usage of the Linux platform for big EBS installations in some cases. PS R12 i believe this problem is overcome or at least I expect Oracle to overcome it within next few months. Just my 0.02$ Jurijs On 6/20/07, Irfan Momin <irfanwiz@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hello Kenan, May be you are right. But, once I raised an iTAR with ORACLE asking the same question. They replied back saying that all Oracle applications are 32 bit irrespective of the platforms (32 bit or 64 bit) they are put on. But, I strongly agree with you on Processing Architecture i.e x86_64 and EMD64 are different even if I have with same OS like Linux or SUN. Each Architecture in itself can have 32 bit as well as 64 bit env's. I say, 32 bit or 64 bit all depends on the OS. For example, lets say I have an X86 Architecture machine that is 64 bit complaint. But, I install an OS that only supports 32 bit for example Windows, than I will have to install all binaries on that system that are 32 bits (Ofcourse Windows). However, if I install an OS that supports 64 bit for example Linux, than it does not make any difference if I use binaries that are 32 bit or 64 bit (Ofcourse Linux binaries), as we all know backward compatibility is always there. Whatever written above are my views/ideas and I say that I can be wrong. If so, please guide me properly.

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.
