Ha ha ha ha! It seems the IBM docucenter was hacked.
"Exploit mode" refers to security vulnerability testing. Entering exploit mode means disabling the security safeguards to allow a successful exploit to compromise the system.

No.
The words "64-Exploit" are used to describe a product edition which is a 64-bit program and exploits the 64-bit processor architecture. |

I find the dynamic docucenter extremely illiterate. The sparse comments are useless. Posting a link to the edition's readme that explains things would be much more helpful.

I agree that the documentation needs to be updated.
My understanding is that it is in process of being updated.
I have provided the information I have available. |

So is that note saying RHEL 6 on x86-64 is only supported if the *WMB 8.0* software is installed / configured in this 64 bit exploit mode? Or is it referring to some O/S level setting that needs to be enabled?

Again, "64-bit exploit" means that the software is 64-bit software that is written to run on a 64-bit platform and EXPLOIT the features of 64bit OSes and 64-bit hardware.
It's not a "mode" or a 'setting" or a 'configuration'.
It means, basically, that the 64-bit edition is not 32-bit software that does not take advantage of 64-bit processing.
It's a bad choice of word in the documentation. |

WMB 8.0.0.0 for Linux 86-64 is ready for 64 bit, the Linux x86-64 server is 64 bit (duh), so the two work together just fine, and this exploit comment is pointless?
What the contact admin?!

No.
It means that you can't use the WMB 8.0.0.0 for Linux-x86 32-bit edition on Linux x86-64 server and be supported.
It means you have to use the 64-bit version of the product on the 64-bit OS. |

"you have to use the 64-bit version of the product on the 64-bit OS" makes sense.
"Only support in 64-Exploit mode” does not.
And the verb conjugation in that sentence is wrong.
