Hi Erwin,
First, there is a new fixpack 8, which shipped for Optim Distributed (TDM, Data Privacy, Archive, App Retirement) in December 2019.
Second, that new fixpack 8 also does NOT support Db2 AESE 11.5.
Third, Optim development has started on the development work for support of Db2 AESE 11.5. Support will be what you'd expect: for Db2 AESE 11.5 to be both an Optim natively supported data source, and also to place the Optim Directory there. And implicitly this also means support for federation of other Db2 - supported data sources.
Exact details of the shipment of support for Db2 AESE 11.5 are to be determined. It may be via a new release of Optim, or an iFix to 11.3.0.8, or in a new fixpack 9 to 11.3.0. That's from most to least likely as of today.

Subject: Optim support for Db2 v11.5 : When ?
Optim Test Data Management v11.3 (Optim v11.3.0.7) does NOT support Db2 v11.5
It's even worse: also the latest Fix Pack 8 (released December 2019) does NOT support Db2 11.5
Come on IBM and Optim developers .....
