Team Concert and 64 Bit OS Support?

Bal,

Are you requesting this for the Team Concert server, Team Concert
Client, or both? Also, what hardware architecture are you seeing the
requests for on UNIX? Just trying to get a better understanding of this
request.

Hi,

Need to highlight that Team Concert needs to support the major 64 Bit
Operating Systems (Linux - RHEL, SLES, Windows, UNIX)

Could someone clarify if there will be 64 bit platform support and
which ones?

Clients are moving to these environments. So I want to request we
support them.

Please add to this thread if you also require support for 64 bit
platforms and state which ones.

Thanks,

Bal

FWIW, I'm running the server right now on 64-bit AIX and it seems to be working fine.

Hi,

David I am requesting support for the Team Concert server to support 64 bit OS's.

I have a large Rational client who uses HP UX but is starting to use SLES 64. So these are on my list but Windows server is also another one.

Shawn mentions he is running it on AIX 64 bit - thanks for the update

What I really want to make sure is that we offer official SUPPORT for popular 64 bit operating systems (AIX, HP UX, Solaris, RHEL, SLES and Windows Server) when Team Concert is officially released.

Thanks,

Bal

Bal,

I was in way disputing the business value nor the need for official
support but rather just trying to get a better understanding of what you
are requesting. I would think that some of this support will be limited
by the support provided by the underlying stack being used - commercial
(WebSphere, DB2, SameTime, etc...) or open source (Tomcat, Derby,
Jabber, etc...) - as well as Java support. Do you know what hardware
architecture this client is using SLES on for 64 bit computing and/or
which version of SLES? I might be able to provide some insights on the
commercial stack because of prior experience in the WebSphere world :)

I should also state that I do not have a role which allows for me to
make any decisions about which platforms will be formally supported...
