Hi John,

We are building on that platform but have not deployed to production yet.

64-Bit RHEL 6
VMWare
140+ users

The issue I had was that I was wanting to deploy the Microsoft ODBC Driver 
Manager and driver for Linux which is only 64-bit, and so while I got it 
working in isolation on the Linux box well, I could not link it to Universe as 
like you say it is only 32-bit. You could use another 32 bit Manager and driver.

Cheers

Phil

Subject: [U2] Any advantages to UV on 64-bit OS?

Hi all,

 

I'm planning to upgrade our UV installation later this year primarily
due to the age of the hardware (it's just over 5 years old).   We aren't
having any serious performance problems.  We're currently running UV
10.2.7 on RedHat EL 5.1 32-bit and typically max out around 100 concurrent 
users.  Since I probably won't upgrade again for another 5 years, I'd like to 
make the upgrade as future-proof as possible.
Because UV is still a 32-bit app, though, I'm wondering if there is any 
real-world benefit to switching to 64-bit RedHat when I upgrade.  I know the 
64-bit kernel will remove the 4GB memory ceiling, but AFAIK, there is also a 
special 32-bit kernel for that.  We also link UV to MS SQL via a 3rd party ODBC 
driver and accept JDBC and UOJ connections.  I have to make sure that 
functionality isn't broken, and I recall someone recently posting that a 64-bit 
OS broke ODBC for them.  Is anyone else successfully using ODBC, JDBC, and UOJ 
with 64-bit linux?  Can anyone point out any advantages to running UV on a 
64-bit OS?

 

Thanks,

John
