Is there any information yet when v8.4.x is going End of Support?
General availability was 12/2011 + 5 years (enhanced lifecycle policy) would mean it reaches EOS next year.
That would mean it is a poor choice for upgrading at the moment.

On the other hand the v8.4.x Launcher Hypervisor Edition for AIX was released 06/2013, but I am not sure how that works out with EOS date...

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, that is the location where I found the information I posted above.
Also here for all Websphere TX products:
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/support/lifecycleapp/PLCSearch.wss?q=WebSphere+Transformation+Extender

The EOS for 8.4.x is missing/ not yet announced. If it is next year an upgrade to that version would be pointless.

Thank you.

Hi ,

They will maybe  make a distiction  ( not sure about that )   between 8.4.0.x and 8.4.1.x. ( 2 différents versions to me )

In all case if you have upgrade plan today the version to go is definitly the last one : V9.0 .

Hi,

My personal experience would suggest not to go with an unpatched  x.0.0 version.

But I will try to get some more information from my IBM software contact.

Thank you very much.

I just now knew this new release of ITX 9.0 replacing WTX 8.4.

I read all the link included in this thread but am still unsure of when I should use this new ITX 9.0?  I don't see when the EOS for 8.4 yet.

Please advise.

Best regards,
