    Hi,

    How does this affect products with WAS v7 embedded in them  (e.g. Tivoli Integrated Portal / Netcool GUI v7.4 / Netcool Impact v6.1 ) ?

    I haven't seen an end-of-support details announced for them.

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    Regards,
    Martyn

    The bundled IBM products has its own software life cycle/End of Service (EOS) date.  You should reach out to its Product Suppor team to confimr the EOS date. 

    I hope this helps...
