Hi,
The title says it all, is datastage a 32 or 64 bit application.
Thanks

Both. Either. Depends on the platform.

Hi,
I wasn't precise enough, I meant when you install it on a 64 bit platform, does it run like a 64 bit process (more than 2gb of ram allocated) or does it run like a 32 bit process (less than 2gb or ram)?
Thanks

Still not precise enough I think. Google "system requirements for ibm infosphere information server" and you can find your answer.

Again, depends. A 64bit O/S can run either and the application's behavior would be appropriate to its level of 'bitness'.
Let's cut to the chase - is there a specific platform you are wondering about?

Hi,
I'm running DataStage 8.5 on red hat 6 64bits.
Does the processes of datastage all run as 64 bits process (with more than 2gb of ram) or do some of them run like 32 bits processes.
thanks

So your operating system is 64-bit.
Did you install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of DataStage? Both were available at version 8.5 and either of them will run on a 64-bit OS.

As noted, once again... depends.

Hi,
I installed the 64 bits version
/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/PXEngine/bin/osh: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, stripped
thanks
