sap version is 4.7ee

database is 9i

os is windows 2003

now how to know my system is 32 bit or 64 bit.

The easy way from within SAP is to use OS06 then select 'OS Collector' push button at the top of the screen.

You will get something list this

Tue Apr 17 13:04:52 2007 interval 10 sec.

AIX ussapd03 2 5 000D783A4C00

Collector Version: COLL 20.79 03/08/22 46D - AIX v4.85 5L-64 bit 050406

From windows,

If you goto the kernel directory

<drive>:\usr\sap\<instance>\sys\exe\run

Right click, select properties on disp+work.exe

select the version tab - x86 means 32bit

For the CPU

From within SAP goto OS06 again, Select 'detail analysis' menu push button, Select 'HW info' push button

expand the CPU line and you should get something like

Number of cpus: 2

proc0

Processor Speed 752010000

Processor state enable

Processor type PowerPC_RS64-IV

proc1

Processor Speed 752010000

Processor state enable

Processor type PowerPC_RS64-IV

Hi

It depends on with OS you are using.The system status in Abap stack and disp+work in java stack can show you the patch level of the kernals.

If you want know about whether it is 32 or 64 bit you have to go to the file system level to find.

For Example

32 bit:

\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\uc\NTI386,here NT1386 represents 32 bit

64 bit

\usr\sap\X74\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64, here NTAMD64 represents 64 bit.

Othere method is to UNSCAR the kernal files that is SAR files and look for its properties.But i have not used this method.

Hope this explanation answers your querry.

Reward points if usefull

Thanks

<u>32/64 bit:</u>

transaction sm50 -> choose a work process -> STRGSHIFTF8

<u>CPU:</u>

how about START -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> then you should see your CPU architecture...or via Desktop -> right click: My Computer -> manage -> Device Manager -> Processors

kiran,

32bit or 64bit refers to the OS running the SAP solution. The SAP solution will match it. So for starters which OS are you running? That should tell you which version of SAP you have. If you do not know, you can check by right clicking on your computer on the desk top and observing the OS type there.

Windows 2003 can be 32bit, x64 or IA64. 32bit is for running on Opteron, Xeon, Core or other HW. x64 if for running on Opteron and Xeon only. IA64 is exclusively for use on servers running Intel's Itanium chip. You will most likely be looking at a 32bit or x64 install.
