Will QLIK V6.6 be a Show Stopper for our z/OS V2.5 UPGRADE

[Inayathullah_Abidullah]

Hi Team,

We (Client A for Example) want to carry on an Upgrade for z/OS V2.5 in coming Weeks and QLIK V6.6 is in our System and we are aware that this version is not Compatible with z/OS V2.5.

Now, we would like to know if QLIK V6.6 will be a Show Stopper if we skip this Product's upgrade and perform our z/OS V2.5 Upgrade.

Please Clarify.

Hello @Inayathullah_Abidullah 

Thanks for your question.  Yes, there is a potential for an issue as Replicate 6.6  has not been tested on z/OS 2.5  nor does it run supported on z/OS 2.5.  All newer levels above 6.6  will run and are supported on z/OS 2.5. 

Please see the documentation for this:

From Replicate 6.6 User Guide:

IBM DB2 for z/OS DB2:  10, 11 and 12      IBM z/OS:  2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4

As you already know Version 6.6 is not a supported release, Please consider installing the May 2024 release. 

Bottom Line: yes,  there could be an issue with using it on z/OS 2.5.

Thank you!
