Platform - linux RHEL 3.5 on intel x86 platforms. MQ 6.0.2.1
I am puzzled as to a simple way to determine if we have 32 or 64 bit installed.
rpm -qa output (e.g. MQSeriesServer-U808001-6.0.2-1) does not seem to indicate the architecture and the U number does not seem to reference a unique 32 or 64 bit version.
Clearly if the processor type is 32 bit then the install can only be 32. But for those machines with 64-bit processors it is not so easy. The best suggestion I have heard is to look in an .fdc file for Addressing mode. However, and not sure if this is ever possible, what if you don't have any FDC files?

ls -l /opt/mqm
OR
rpm -ql MQSeriesServer
If these commands list a directory called lib64 in /opt/mqm then you have the 64-bit product. |

Thanks. Just to be sure, to be sure, if I have the /lib64 directory I am running 64bit? |

If you have lib64 then you have a 64-bit MQ installation. Your queue manager and channel programs will be 64-bit. Your apps might not be 64-bit; they are only 64-bit if your app owner has recompiled for 64-bit. Hope this answers the question |

| And, how we will check the same in windows whether the MQ installation is 32-bit or 64 bit? |

Took Mr. Google microseconds to find THIS! Search first, search second, then if all else fails post

well , thanks for pointing me in right direction.
the link posted by you says that whether windows is 32-bit or 64-bit, whereas I was looking for whether the MQ installed is 32-bit or 64-bit.
what I understood from your answer is that if a windows is running on 64-bit, then we dont have to worry about MQ installation it will automatically will install the MQ as 64-bit. as both will be in sync, correct? |

I found on MQ documentation that for 64-bit MQ, the default installation directory would be C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere MQ .
I think that answers my questions, if you found the MQ is installed in (x86) it means it is 64-bit.
Thanks for your help. |
