Qlik Replicate 2023.5 (May 2023) no longer supports Linux 7

[Bill_Steinagle]

As of the Qlik Replicate version 2023.5 and forward, CentOS 7.x is no longer supported. Upgrade to CentOS 8.x.

See System Requirements.

To perform a successful upgrade from previous versions of Qlik Replicate (such as 2022.11 SP05) while also upgrading your CentOS, follow these steps:

1. Gracefully stop all tasks from the Qlik Replicate console
   
   
   
   
2. Take a backup of your data folder
3. Install Qlik Replicate with your current (older) version, such as 2022.11 SP05, on CentOS 8
4. Override the data folder of your fresh install with your previous backup
5. Stop Replicate 2022.11 SP05 on CentOS 8
6. Upgrade Replicate to 2023.5 GA on CentOS 8
7. Resume all tasks and verify that they are running as intended and capturing changes

That's kind of strange since CentOS 8 has been out of support for 2 years (I don't think you can download it easily now - see Convert to CentOS Stream 8) but CentOS 7 still has a year to go in line with RHEL 7... CentOS Project shifts focus to CentOS Stream – Blog.CentOS.org / https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/eol/centos-eol-guidance 

Unless you mean CentOS Stream 8? (Confusing!)
