5L is the designation for "Linux affinity". The output of 'oslevel -r' will tell you your release and maintenance level. For example, 5100-02 means you're running AIX 5L 5.1 maint level 02.

The reason there are two different downloads is that 64-bit code is OS dependant; 64-bit 4.3.x code is NOT binary compatible with the 5.x 64-bit operating environment. All 32-bit code is compatible.

Hello to everyone

I see two options for 9i download at "technet" site - "AIX" and "AIX based 5L systems".

What does that difference mean?

How do I find out whether server is one or the other?

Thanks,

Vladimir Barac
