How do I determine if Kernel is 32 or 64 bit, system is AIX / Informix

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm trying to determine if the kernel on an AIX machine is 32 or 64 bit, how can I determine that, using SM51 shows me the Kernel (46D_Ext) but does not ID a 32 or 64 bit version ??

Login as <sid>adm and do a

Alternatively, use System -> Status to find out the platform ID of the SAP kernel (assuming you talk about that and not the AIX kernel). There used to be a note around platform-ids in use at SAP, all I found is from help.sap.com:

Platform

32-bit 64-bit

DEC-Alpha

- 288

HP-UX

272 273

RM600 (Reliant)

322 323

AIX

320 324

SUN

369 370

We are missing a few platforms here (Linux, Solarisx64), if somebody wants to take the effort to complete with currently avvailbel IDs, fine.

Solaris X86_64/X64: 372

Linux X86_64/X64: 390

Linux IA64/Itanium: 388

Linux X86: 387

The Platform IDs are also listed in <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/146289">SAP note 146289</a> (section 11).
