  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 6 (64-bit)

This is a ‘database tier only’ or ‘split tier configuration’ certification where the application tier must be on a fully certified E-Business Suite platform (see My Oracle Support Certifications for more information). IBM’s z systems fully support a mixed platform architecture with distributed Unix and Linux certified application tier servers for customers looking to run Oracle E-Business Suite on System z.
