IBM z/OS: 2.5 Support

randy_tongue — Mon, 24 Jan 2022 17:03:20 GMT

The support matrix indicates that Replicate supports IBM z/OS: 2.3 and 2.4.

Supported source endpoints ‒ Qlik Replicate

When will support for 2.5 be available as 2.3 will be deprecated later this year?

Is this a VSAM (arc based) source?

It is my understanding that Qlik stopped formal support for several legacy ARC and AIS databases per 1-jan-2022.

If that's the case It may well just continue to work under later version, but would not be formally supported by Qlik.

I'll be happily proven wrong for the your IBM source.

This EOL for sure happened for the OpenVMS RMS source. For that source vmssoftware.com is now willing to offer L1 and L2 support contracts (no bug fixes, just operational help when needed) and they are considering other platforms as well.

hth,

This is for a Relational Database. We are asking Qlik to confirm compatibility with 2.5. and need something more definitive than it may work.

>> and need something more definitive than it may work.

Of course you do. I expect no less. But you posted the question in a best-effort community forum.

For a formal answer you need to ask a formal channel, typically a support case to get started, sometime your Qlik (sales) representative.

Please be sure to provide the exact DB and its version as that's more critical than the OS version in general.

I am not sure I get the point of this forum if you can’t get actual answers. I also pursued through other channels but thought other clients may be able to benefit from the question and response.

To point of the forum is to share experiences and provide general help.

For the problem on hand, another user in a similar situation might have already researched this.
