Requesting update/guidance from IBM LMT team, regarding compatibility of DB2 Version 11.5 Mod 4 Fix Pack 0 with BigFix 9.5 and ILMT 9.2.

DB2 update addresses High severity vulnerabilities.

For reference:

After applying DB2 Version 11.5 Mod 4 Fix Pack 0, BESRootServer no longer starts or functions, with little indication as to why. Unable to locate any relevant log messages, etc.

A forum post on on bigfix.com indicates:

"While BigFix team works to guarantee compatibility with the newest IBM DB2 version, all BigFix users are strongly advised not to upgrade their IBM DB2 to version 11.5.4, for the time being."

Please confirm and/or offer additional guidance.

Thanks.

BigFix Server on Linux (v9.5.14+ and v10.0.0+) supports IBM DB2 up to 11.5 GA version. It has not yet been certified on IBM DB2 11.5.4 (DB2 Version 11.5 Mod 4 Fix Pack 0) version.

A problem has been reported that prevents BigFix from functioning when running on IBM DB2 11.5.4 version.

While BigFix team works to guarantee compatibility with the newest IBM DB2 version, all BigFix users are strongly advised not to upgrade their IBM DB2 to version 11.5.4, for the time being.

Additional information on this matter will be communicated as soon as it is available.

As this text matches the forum post on the bigfix.com site, I'll interpret this Answer as IBM LMT Support's official update/guidance. Thank you.
