ASA (TAI) Support for WebSphere 9

[Jim Lundell]

Hi,

 

I'm not finding a 'validated' ASA for WAS 9 on RHEL -- is this correct?  If I recall, WebSphere 9 was released back in 2016.  We are currently using R12.52 SP2.

 

At one time I was told that since the TAI is pure Java and it's functionality is very trivial, we should be able to use an older/current version of the ASA as this hasn't changed much. 

 

Is this statement still true?  I don't like that we'd not be running a validated ASA, but we have critical applications that are looking to move to WebSphere 9 today. 

 

Any insights/wisdom would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!  Jim

Hi Jim,

 

• The latest version of ASA is 12.0 SP2.
• ASA 12.0 SP2 is NOT certified for WebSphere 9.0 on RHEL.
• ASA 12.0 SP2 IS certified for WebSphere 9.0 on Windows 2012R2
• PSM 12.0SSP2 ASA 

 

I just created an enhancement request to certifiy Websphere 9.0 on RHEL 6/7 also :

Certify Websphere 9.x 64-bit ASA on RHEL 6 & RHEL 7 

Please do vote. If this is urgent please engage your account team to help prioritize this request.

 

Let me know if any questions.
