    Hello @Deactivated User , ​v12.1 is compatible with RHEL7 (and its sub-releases).

    ​Hi @Tatjana Radic.

    Just a quick heads-up regarding the several questions about compatibility.

    Currently​ when you select:

    Product: Automation Engine 12.2
    Component: Automation Engine

    you get informations for version 12.2.3 and 12.2.4.

    When you select

    Product: Automation Engine 12.1
    Component: Automation Engine

    the only available choice is version 12.3.1

    12.3.1 is not a hotfix or minor version of 12.1, I think the data feeding into the tool is currently broken as far as 12.1 is concerned.

    This might partially serve to explain some of the questions regarding 12.1.

    Best regards,

    Hi @Carsten Schmitz This happens because compatibility matrix gathers the data based on the highest released component version in the bundle.
    Due to security bug in Service Manager (for which we sent proactive notifications), we have decided to provide Service Manager 12.3 in 12.1.6 bundle. This unfortunately does not play well with compatibility matrix.
    If you need 12.1 compatibility information, it is best to chose Component Version and keep 'All Components' in Product.

    ​Hi Tatiana,

    thanks for clearing that up!

    As for that workarround though, unless people already know about this specific issue, this is very confusing. I think it would be much more clear if Broadcom were to either revise how that works to make it clear (e.g. by disconnecting the version of the bundle from the component versions), or by backporting fixes into the respective version of the component.

    Cheers,
    Carsten
