Compatibility with Plex and IBM i 7.6.

[HIFUMI ONISHI]

Hello,

When is Plex test in IBM i 7.6 scheduled to be held?
(When does Plex r7.3 certify IBM i 7.6?)
Will this test also be done on Plex r7.2.1?

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

Hifumi.........

Good day.

Unfortunately at the present time, CA Plex 7.3 is not officially certified/supported with IBMi 7.6

This certification is a top priority for Plex Engineering and they will begin this activity soon.

There is no ETA at this moment since these certifications must pass rigorous compliance and stability testing.

We will keep everyone posted regarding the progress via this Community.

Hope that this information helps.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your comment.
We understand that IBM i 7.6 has not yet been certified on CA Plex.

Will the IBM i 7.6 testing be conducted only on CA Plex 7.3, or is there also a plan to test it on CA Plex 7.2.1?

Our customers are currently using CA Plex 7.2.1, and they are very concerned about whether a Plex upgrade will be required if they move to IBM i 7.6.
If an upgrade is necessary, they will need to secure both the budget and the timeline for it.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could provide clarification on this matter.

Regards,
Hifumi

We will start with Plex 7.3 certification first, followed by Plex 7.2.1. 

We will post progress on the certification efforts via this Community.

Hope that this information helps.
