32-bit and 64-Bit Application Servers

CA Identity Manager r12.5 SP17 supports the following 64-bit application server versions:

• JBoss 5.0 and 5.1 Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
• JBoss 5.1 Open Source
• Oracle WebLogic 11g (10.3.5)
• IBM WebSphere 7.0

CA Identity Manager r12.5 SP17 supports the following 32-bit application servers:

• JBoss 5.0 and 5.1 Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
• JBoss 5.1 Open Source
• Oracle WebLogic 10.3
• IBM WebSphere 6.1 and 7.0

If you intend to remain on a 32-bit application server, you can upgrade to r12.5 SP17 by running the installer. To upgrade to r12.5 SP17 and move to a 64-bit application server, you first install the new application server. Then, you migrate data from the previous CA Identity Manager installation. See the Upgrade Guide for full details.

Note: Although we support installation of CA Identity Manager on 32-bit platforms, we strongly recommend a 64-bit platform. It has benefits for performance, operation, and future upgrades. The next major release of CA Identity Manager, r12.6, supports only 64-bit platforms.
