This note describes the hardware, software, prerequisites and released versions in the SAP/Oracle

topic Oracle Linux and SAP.
You can access current information about Oracle Linux using the following URLs:
http://otn.oracle.com/linux
https://linux.oracle.com

Supported Oracle Linux distributions:

¡ The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) and the Red Hat-compatible kernel are supported.

SAP software supported for Oracle Linux 5 and 6:

use older versions for the installation of the IBM Java JDK (see Note 1172419). You can use "SAP
Java Switch Tool" to change to SAP JVM after the installation (see Notes 1495160 and 1555341).

l As a database, the Oracle database is supported as of Version 11g Release 2. For a listing of
SAP products based on Netweaver 7.0x that are supported with this Oracle database, see Note
1398634.

l SAP application servers on Oracle Linux can be operated in connection with an Oracle database
only.

l In the SAP environment, Oracle Linux is not released as operating system software for virtual
machines that are based on VMware.

In general, only the 64-bit x86_64 (Intel and AMD) architecture of Oracle Linux is supported for SAP
software.
