64-bit support for RQM

Does RQM v2.0.0.1 iFix02 support 64-bit OS (web server) and also 64-bit SQL Server? I don't see a separate download for 64-bit in the download site. If not, what is plan to certify RQM on 64 bit?

Yes. See "Detailed System Requirements for Rational Quality Manager 2.0.x": http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27015932. Per this document RQM server can be run on both x86-32 (aka 32-bit) and x86-64 (aka 64-bit) servers for the following OSes: RHEL, SUSE Enterprise, W2K3, and W2K8.

Regarding the database server (SQL), there was previously a restriction preventing this but I believe that was added in 2.0.0.1 -- can someone from dev confirm?

In the RQM download page, I don't see separate download bits for 64-bit. Are the bits the same regardless if you are installing on 64-bit OS web server? It appears on the RTC 2.0.0.2 page (featured downloads tab), I can select x86 vs x86-64. Please advise.

Also, what are some specific user benefits (functional or performance) of running RQM on 64-bit Windows? As I don't see a separate download bits for RQM (other than that Rational has certified RQM on 64-bit Windows) and therefore wondering whether the existing RQM bits are taking advantage of the 64-bit Windows architecture.

I've installed the latest version of RQM on 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 and for the most part, things worked fine. The only thing I had to do was replace the apache tomcat exe with it's equivalent 64-bit version in order to run RQM as a Windows service.

The benefit I can think of is being able to run Tomcat with more memory than you would be on a 32-bit machine, and thus be able to handle more users.
