Hi all, So, we're getting ready to install AR 7.5 on Linux based on the understanding I had gotten from other posts on the list stating that it was 64-bit. I'm starting to question that understanding based on what I'm readying in the installation guide. First, the installation guide indicates that only the UNIX servers are 64-bit (and they don't group Linux with UNIX - it's considered separately). Then on page 50 under "Installing AR System 64-bit servers", it says the following:
On Linux and Windows, AR System is compiled on 32-bit platforms with compatible 32-bit database connectivity libraries. Consult your operating system and database vendors for information about compatibility support for 32-bit clients on 64-bit operating systems and how those 32-bit clients communicate to a local or remote 64-bit database. I saw the Linux: Expected 64-bit roadmap and interoperability with AR System PDF document that David Easter sent a link to, but that was from July 08, so I don't know if it still reflects reality. Can anyone confirm that the Linux AR Server (arserverd) actually is a 64-bit binary, or is it a 32-bit binary but BMC is only supporting it on 64-bit Linux servers for some reason?
