Compatibility with 2E and IBM i 7.6.

[HIFUMI ONISHI]

Hello,

When is 2E test in IBM i 7.6 scheduled to be held?
(When does 2E r8.7.4 certify IBM i 7.6?)
Will this test also be done on 2E r8.7.3?

Our customer examines the purchase of IBM i 7.6.

A business impact is big,so we would like you to carry out that test in the earliest period as possible.

Regards,
Hifumi

Good day.

CA 2E 8.7.4 is already certified with IBMi 7.6.  This is the only version of CA 2E that is officially supported and certified with IBMi 7.6

Please refer to the 2E compatibility matrix for further details:

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your comment.
We are glad to hear that IBM i 7.6 has been certified on CA 2E 8.7.4.

However, we often find it difficult to locate the latest compatibility matrix, even when searching the Support Portal or the 2E product pages.
As a result, we cannot quickly access information such as the certification of IBM i 7.6 on 2E 8.7.4.

Would it be possible to upload the latest compatibility matrix to the Support Portal or the 2E product pages?

It would also be greatly appreciated if future announcements could include when the latest IBM i OS versions are certified.

Both we and our customers want to obtain the most up-to-date information as quickly as possible.

Regards,
Hifumi

Hello Hifumi,

 

The 2E Compatibility Matrix has been moved to a permanent location in the 2E Technical Documentation site itself. It can be accessed via the below path:

Additional Resources page on 2E TechDocs site

-> Product Support (section)

-> Compatibility Matrix

Thank you for your valuable feedback regarding the announcement of future IBM i OS certifications on the community. We will make sure to announce the details of any new IBM i OS version/Power Hardware certifications directly on the community as soon as they are completed.

 

Best Regards,

Hello Raghu,

Thank you for uploading the compatibility matrix to the 2E product page.
It has made it much easier for us to provide information to our customers.

We will also make sure to check periodically for any updates to the compatibility matrix.

Have a great day.
