Supported Operating System Platforms

Software GmbH generally provides support for the operating system platform versions supported by their respective manufacturers; when an operating system platform provider stops supporting a version of an operating system, Software GmbH will stop supporting that version.

For information regarding Software GmbH product compatibility with IBM platforms and any IBM requirements for Software GmbH products, please review the Product Compatibility for IBM Platforms web page.

Before attempting to install this product, ensure that your host operating system is at the minimum required level. For information on the operating system platform versions supported by Software GmbH products, complete the following steps.

  1. Access Software GmbH's Empower web site at https://empower.softwareag.com.

  2. Log in to Empower. Once you have logged in, expand Products & Documentation in the left menu of the web page and select Product Version Availability to access the Product Version Availability screen.

  3. Use the fields on the top of this screen to filter its results for your Software GmbH product. When you click the Search button, the supported Software GmbH products that meet the filter criteria are listed in the table below the filter criteria.

    This list provides the following information for the supported operating systems:

    • the general availability (GA) date of the product;

    • the date the operating system platform is scheduled for retirement (OS Retirement);

    • the end-of-maintenance (EOM) date for the product; and

    • the end-of-sustained-support (EOSS) date for the product.

Note
Although it may be technically possible to run a new version of your Software GmbH product on an older operating system, Software GmbH cannot continue to support operating system versions that are no longer supported by the system’s provider. If you have questions about support, or if you plan to install this product on a release, version, or type of operating system other than one listed on the Product Version Availability screen described above, consult technical support to determine whether support is possible, and under what circumstances.

The Event Replicator Target Adapter Administration and the Event Replicator Target Adapter Data Mapping Tool are not supported in AIX, HP-UX, Solaris or zLinux environments because the Eclipse RCP port is not available in those environments. You will need to have a Windows or Linux installation of the Administration Tool and Mapping Tool to use them. The Administration Tool can remotely manage Event Replicator Target Adapter installations on those platforms where the Eclipse RCP is not supported.
