Well BEA recommends 8.1 SP4 WEblogic for 64 Bit to run with JRockit 1.4.2_05 JDK for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 (32-bit). And as per OTM Administration guide JDK required is 1.4.2.
So would it be advisable to run Weblogic 8.1 SP4 for 64 Bit with a 64 Bit JRE i.e. JRockit 5.0 R27.4 JDK, which is not recommended by OTM till now.
What would be your opinion on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Suresh | Suresh, The metalink quote is a bit misleading. Yes you can run OTM and the database on a 64-bit operating system as it mentions. What you cannot do however is run OTM/Weblogic and the JDK in 64-bit mode. You have to run it as 32-bit mode on the 64-bit OS. What I have suggested is a hack that it is possible to run it but should not be attempted unless you are testing for the heck of it. I know for one that if you tried running the 64-bit hack, you won’t be able to get the DASH licensing to work as it needs 64-bit files. I don’t know what else will break either as I only tested it out for a day. Nick  |
