Run ATG on MAC

[Aazim Lakhani]

Hi Everyone,
                   I intend to buy a Mac Book. But i don't know which one to buy. I want it to be able to run all major ATG modules, such as Commerce, Merchandizing, Service & Search. Also, i don't know whether ATG works on 32 bit or 64 bit machine ... I'm looking out for a MAC in medium range (in terms of budget).

Would appreciate any extra comments, coz i have to ensure i'm able to run ATG on it.

Need urgent help guys ...

Hi

ATG search does not run on mac. As far as I know most others do (not sure about reporting). Further depending on your ATG version you may need to install Java 1.5, which is no longer supported in OS X 1.7 (Lion)

After working with ATG / mac for 4 years already I'm happy with the combination... using eclipse, DBVisualizer (Toad replacement :-), java, ATG, Oxygen (XML editing) and several other tools

Note: one other tool you cannot run (simply) is Oracle, but we always used shared remote DB until now, or MySQL for development

Hey Wilco , thank you for your prompt reply & for sharing your expertise. I also wanted to know, whether i could do iPhone app development in eclipse or do I need to use Mac X-Code for it.

Also, should I buy a 32 or 64 bit MAC ?

[Wilco Boumans]

The new OS (and chipsets) are all 64 bit. You can run 32-bit or 64-bit java with a -d32 or -d64 flag

Hi,

If you are buying new MacBook Pro then it will support only support latest jdk (Ver: 1.6+).

I hava MacBook Pro & ACC of ATG 2007.1 is not working in my Mac because ATG 2007.1 required JDK 5 version to start ACC.

However you can have Window also using VMWare & their you have JDK 5 & 2007.1 ACC also.

Regards,

Reetesh

Luckily, ATG10 does not require Java 5 any more.

I have had good results with running the portions of ATG environment
that do not work on OS-X inside VMWare Fusion Linux VM. As long as
your Mac has enough RAM (4 GB min, 8 GB recommended) and decent CPU
(i5 or better), works great.

ATG is not officially supported on MAC. For dev purposes you can make commerce work . Atg search doesnt run on mac.

As for oracle, I have used this to run it on Snow Leopard.
Unfortunately, it (as well as sqlplus client) are now broken in 10.7
Lion.

Hopefully he will have an update soon. For now using CentOS Parallels
VM for Oracle.

A neat trick is to mount your VM's file structure to the same point on
your mac. So if you install ATG & Jobss under /opt, you can build &
deploy using eclipse and run jboss either right in OS X or on the VM.

You could also just set your search env up so you are connecting to a
remote search engine and point it at the IP of your VM, so you can do
most everything on your mac & just connect to the VM for queries &
indexing.

A VM with Oracle, plus Jboss (especially if running multiple
instances) plus running eclipse really wants all 8 GB of RAM if you
can swing it - well worth the money. An SSD helps make builds go much
faster as well.
