Editor Mar 15 Update: There are a number of mixed platform architectures that are supported for Release 12 today, although certification of additional platforms is still pending. More details added below.
Editor Update: It turns out that our official nomenclature for these types of configurations has evolved between releases. In Release 11i, these were called "split configurations." In Release 12, these are now called "mixed platform architectures."
Here's a quick update for those of you who might be interested in "mixed platform architectures," where the E-Business Suite's database and application servers are deployed on different operating system platforms.
R12 Fully Certified Platforms
As of March 15, 2007, the following are the fully certified platforms (application and database tiers) for the E-Business Suite Release 12. See Oracle Certify for exact versions and platforms certified with E-Business Suite:
- HP-UX Itanium
- HP-UX PA-RISC
- IBM AIX
- Linux x86 and x86-64 (32-bit OS)
- Linux x86-64 (64-bit OS)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003
- Sun Solaris Operating System (SPARC)
Not Certified Yet... For Use on the Database Tier Only
Certifications for the following additional platforms are underway for
the database tier only:
- IBM System z Linux
- Linux Itanium
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Itanium
The certifications of the four database tier only platforms are underway now, and are expected to be released in conjunction with the R12 certification for the 10.2.0.3 Database. Firm schedules aren't available yet, but feel free to monitor or subscribe to this site for updates, which I'll post as soon as they're available.
Still Confused?
Don't worry -- you're not the only one. As you can infer from the changes to this article, we've been working through the nomenclature around these mixed platform architectures ourselves. If you're still struggling to get a handle on this, either log a Service Request or contact your Oracle account manager to get some help with your specific target platform architecture.

My customer choosed to implement R12.X in a mixed architecture:
Database on HP PA-RISC 11.11 ..
aplication tiers on Solaris 9.
In this article i notice that this kind of mixed architecture is supported.
Under metalink -> certify -> product ebusinessSuite -> R12
: i found that
{{
When the E-Business Suite application tier is installed on a "Certified E-Business Suite Platform," the following additional platforms may be used for the database tier
only. In previous E-Business Suite releases, this configuration was referred to as a "Split Configuration Database Tier."
* IBM Linux on POWER
* IBM System z Linux
* Linux Itanium
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Itanium
* Solaris 10 (x64)
}}
==> Since HP UX does not appear on this list, it means it is not yet supported.
Question:
mixed architecture PA-Risc and Solarisis supported or not ?
regards

Hi, Ibrahim,
Both Solaris 9 SPARC (64-bit) and HP-UX PA-RISC are fully-certified platforms for EBS 12. This means that you can run either platform on the application tier, database tier, or both.
Regards,
Steven
