Ok, but the installer is 64bit so is there a way to install just the mid-tier on a 32bit Linux OS?

Should help searching results...) This is covered in the SoD for 64-bit that can be found here: 16-Jul-2008 (Statement of Direction) BMC Atrium CMDB on UNIX and Linux: Expected 64-bit roadmap and interoperability with AR System PDF <http://www.bmc.com/products/documents/34/60/93460/93460.pdf> * Will the BMC AR System Mid-Tier be 64-bit as well? o No. The Mid-Tier will continue to be 32-bit. So the Mid-Tier is not a 64-bit binary - your assumption is, unfortunately, incorrect. Only the AR System server became 64-bit native in this release. The requirements for the Mid-Tier did not change from 7.1.00 for the most part - so whatever you had before will continue to work properly. Note that while not 64-bit itself, the Mid-Tier will run within a 32-bit JVM on a 64-bit Operating System - just like it did in AR System 7.1.00. BMC is considering support for 64-bit JVMs in a future release. -David J. Easter Sr. Product Manager, Solution Strategy and Development BMC Software, Inc.

Shyman Sent: Tue 1/20/2009 8:34 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ARS 7.5 & Office 2007 David, I'm looking at the 7.5 compatibility matrix and have a question. It is stated that there are only native 64-bit binaries for Linux. I am assuming this includes the mid-tier binaries as well. Yet, the matrix also states that 64-bit application servers (Tomcat, for example) are not supported. Does this mean a 7.5 Mid-Tier would be best served as a 64bit box running Mid-Tier and a 32bit box running the applet server? Or am I misreading this? --- J.T.

You'll note that sections that don't apply the "or higher" clause don't have the "or higher" phrase in that section and don't use the table header of "minimum". Full Text Search and Screen Readers fall into the category of not applying to the "or higher" clause as well, for example. Thanks, -David J.

No specific testing was done with Office 2007, so it was not included in the matrix. While it may or may not operate correctly, it would be considered "unconfirmed" at best.
