OpenEdge components that rely on Java have 64-bit JVM support. This enhances support for stored procedures and triggers on 64-bit platforms by enabling the OpenEdge SQL server to load the 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM). As a result, stored procedures and triggers can be created, compiled, and executed by the 64-bit JVM loaded by the OpenEdge SQL Server.

The distribution of 64-bit Java in JDK/JRE differs from platform to platform. For example, AIX64 and Linux64 have separate 64-bit JDK/JRE packages.
