Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: OS/Hardware choice for Oracle Apps system
We are considering the move for the following reasons:
With Linux could have multiple non-production versions of the Oracle
Apps running. I believe you can do it on windows but concerned about
the path settings, etc. Already running with /3gb and MTS since had hit
2G limit. Currently, we are running with 1.5G Priv Peak. Our SGA is
undersized based on the 11i recommended parameters.

Hi Jeffrey,
first of all what would be the justification to move platform? Is it a resource issue on Windows or a move to have everything on the same platform as other systems? What is the usage of your apps install and the user base?
Unless you have a very large user population and need to run a very large SGA I would only consider a platform migration to 64-bit when your current hardware is at the end of its life. Going to a Linux/UNIX infrastructure will possibly make things like remote administration far easier and you would not need to run the MKS Toolkit for patching however there would be a significant time cost in the migration to do the export/import etc.
Like anything large change with apps a platform migration is a significant undertaking and would require alot of time and effort, particularly on the testing side and development side should you have a large number of interfaces into the system.
Regards,
Mark
