Support for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms

WebSphere® Event Broker operates in 32-bit mode, or 64-bit mode, or both, on supported operating systems.

Start of changeOn operating systems where both modes are supported, 32-bit operation is the default mode. If you create an execution group for a broker in a mode that is not supported by its underlying hardware and software, it is created and operates in the supported mode, although the workbench reports the mode that you specified. For example, if you specify 64-bit mode on Windows®, an execution group is created, and you can deploy resources to it. It operates in 32-bit mode, even though it is displayed as a 64-bit execution group.End of change

If you do not specify a size when you create an execution group on platforms that support both 32-bit and 64-bit modes, a 32-bit execution group is created.

The following table shows for each supported platform whether the components can be run in 32-bit mode, 64-bit mode, or both.
