Oracle Application running on Itanium Server

Hi all,

As confirmed from oracle, Oracle does not support any 32bit product (including
the application tier of Oracle Applications) on Itanium because of
potential performance and compatibility issues.

I would like to ask you that If Oracle Application 64bit can run on Itanium.

I am very confused. Pls help

Re: Oracle Application running on Itanium Server

Shalom Veron,

For complete information and support matrixes:

http://metalink.oracle.com Contract required
http://technet.oracle.com Registration required for download

It is my belief that certain versions of the Oracle Application servers ARE supported on Itanium.

I'm almost certain of that, since my former employer is reportedly taking a 10g databas/application server complex and planning a migration to Itanium from PA-RISC.

Re: Oracle Application running on Itanium Server

Hi,

I think you got an misunderstand here.

As your file, App. tier just run on HP-UX PA-RISC platform only And Only Database run on Itanium platform.

My question is that I could install and run Oracle Application on Itanium?

As present in www.oracle.com, Just only oracle database can run on Itanium and but Application just run on other platform and link to database itanium platform.

Thanks

Re: Oracle Application running on Itanium Server

hi,

sorry for the misunderstanding. You are right!

according to metalink note Doc ID: 312470.1
Subject: Oracle's Platform Strategy Advisory,

the 'Oracle Applications Release 11i Application tier' is supported by Oracle ONLY on the following platforms:
Windows (32-bit)
Linux x86
IBM AIX 5L (64-bit)
HP-UX PA-RISC (64-bit)
HP Tru64 UNIX
Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-bit)


this does not include the Itanium-based servers

I guess we have to wait some more time. You may wish to contact Oracle Support for an update on that since the document source is about 6 months old!

bad luck...

kind regards

Re: Oracle Application running on Itanium Server

hi again,

below an anology to what Rick Jones said:

even if it happened to "work" on an Integrity server, it would not be "supported"

Supported, known to work -> warm fuzzies all around
Supported, not known to not work -> an HPite may be in trouble
Supported, known to not work -> an HPite is in trouble
Unsupported, known to work -> lucky today, unlucky tomorrow?
Unsupported, not known to not work -> there but for the grace of Turing
Unsupported, known to not work -> no, it was not deliberate ;-)
