    Spectrum 10.4.1 and PM 3.7.12 work fine together.  Both work with CABI 7.1.1 also.  Note: CABI 7.1.1 is only available for Linux now.
    Either 9.3.x or 10.x NFA and PM 3.7.12 work fine together.

    I do not know about the other products.

    Hi Jeffrey,

    These servers are running on Linux RedHat  7.3 is CABI supporting this version of Linux?

    Thanks,
    Uchira.

    Seems to indicate RHEL 7.1, 7.4, and 7.7.  But usually that's the OS we have validated software on.  It should run on 7.3 also.

    Note: you may see Windows in the list, docs team is working on removing them.  They should not have been there for 7.1.1.

    Hi Uchira

    The Spectrum docs say that 10.4.1 integrates with  19.4.1, 3.7 or 3.7.8

    https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/spectrum/10-4-1/release-information/integration-compatibility.html

    it looks like 3.7.1.2 has not been tested but Jeffrey already confirmed that Spectrum 10.4.1 and PM 3.7.12 should work fine together.

    Hi Shane/ Jeffrey

    we are going to upgrade PM version .7.3.5 to 7.3.13 

    And currently, the CABI server version is 6.3  Spectrum version 10.4.0, please let me know if I only upgrade PM version, is there any impact on these product integrations?

    Thanks,
    Uchira.

    Hi Urchira

    if you follow the same link as previous, it shows that 10.4.0 integrates with CAPM 3.6 and 3.7.   Spectrum 10.4.0 and 10.4.1 are more different than the name might suggest, so I cannot say if the same recommendation as previous applies.  Perhaps Jeffery can confirm if he has seen 10.4.0 and PM 3.7.12 integrated.

    Spectrum 10.4.x should work fine with all PM 3.7.x service packs.

    As far as CABI, 3.7.12+ works with CABI 7.1.1 on Linux, and I believe Spectrum works with CABI 7.1.1.  If you are running windows CABI, then you should use 6.4.2/6.4.3 windows, I believe.  Which should work with Spectrum and PM.

    Using 6.3 with 3.7+ sounds like it may not work, untested.

    Please follow our DataSource compatibility matrix:
