Support for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms
WebSphere® Message Broker operates in 32-bit mode or 64-bit mode, on supported operating systems.
The following table shows support for 32-bit and 64-bit mode. Changes since Version 6.1 are summarized beneath the table. If support on your platform has changed, you might need to make additional changes to your configuration. See Migrating the Version 6.1 WebSphere Message Broker component and Configuring brokers for test and production environments for further details.

Changes since Version 6.1:
- On this platform, you can no longer create or run with 32-bit execution groups. Execution groups can be only 64-bit mode.
- On the Windows 64-bit and Linux on x86-64 platforms, you can install either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of WebSphere Message Broker.
Execution groups
You can create an execution
group by using one of the following:
- WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit
- WebSphere Message Broker Explorer
- mqsicreateexecutiongroup command
- CMP
If you do not specify the size of execution group that you require, the size that is created depends on how you create it, and the version of the target broker to which you deploy it. The following default values apply:
- If the target broker is Version 7.0 or later, the execution group is 64-bit except on those platforms that support 32-bit only (Linux on x86, and Windows).
Workbench | Command | CMP API | 32-bit only platforms | 32-bit and 64-bit platforms | 64-bit only platforms |
