32–Bit/64–Bit Microsoft IIS 6.0/7.0 Support

Microsoft IIS 6.0 can be configured to support 32-bit application runtimes or 64-bit application runtimes on 64-bit operating systems. Microsoft IIS 6.0 cannot be configured to support both simultaneously. Therefore, in general, when installing and configuring EPM System products with Microsoft IIS 6.0, install 32-bit runtimes and 64-bit runtimes for EPM System Web tier components on different computers.

Specifically, FDM (32-bit) and Strategic Finance (32-bit) cannot be deployed on the same computer where Financial Management (64-bit) and Performance Management Architect (64-bit) are deployed. On 32-bit platforms, all EPM System products can coexist.

Note:

For IIS 7 (the default on Windows 2008 systems), 32-bit and 64-bit components can coexist. However, for FDM and Strategic Finance, you need to install IIS 6.0 compatibility mode when running IIS 7.0.
