Re: WAS Upgrade 6.1 or 7.0?

When we moved from 64-bit classic to 32-bit J9, it was like getting out of a dump truck and into a sports car. It was one of the few times a promised performance boost lived up to its billing. :-)

Already moving to the 32bit version. This application did not need the 64bit version anyway.

If you can't go to WAS 8, I would definitely go to WAS 7. WAS 6.x is

based on Java EE 1.4 which is quite awful. Also WAS 6.1 uses Java

I agree. And don't forget to remember to switch to the j9 jvms (32 or 64bit) before the upgrade to i os 7.
I've been in trouble when going from v5r4 to i7 while still on 64 bit classic jvms.
Took some time in telephone with a gentleman from Rochester to sort things out afterwards.
