Issue/Introduction

Can we deploy EAR developed in a 32bit stack on a machine using 64bit stack or vice-versa. -Yes

Resolution

EAR (Enterprise Archive)  file is nothing but a package of runtime entities of your developed application. This  package/ EAR created on 32 bit stack can be successfully deployed on a machine using 64 bit architecture. 
EAR file has no dependency over machine architecture or OS used. 

[NOTE: The only thing you need consider is the version of product on which EAR is developed and is being deployed on to. If there is version upgrade then TIBCO SUPPORT recommends to validate your application at design-time first with new version and then build a EAR out of it and deploy it.]
