1. Planning for Appx 4.3

2.  You will need the following minimum O/S levels to run 4.3: IBM RS/6000: 5.2 or newer IBM RS/6000: 5.2 or newer HP 9000 & Itanium: 11.x HP 9000 & Itanium: 11.x SUN: SunOS 5.8 or Solaris 8 SUN: SunOS 5.8 or Solaris 8 Windows: XP or better Windows: XP or better Linux: Red Hat 7.2 or equivalent Linux: Red Hat 7.2 or equivalent

3. Planning for Appx 4.3  4.3 also requires current levels for RDBMS: Oracle: 10.x Oracle: 10.x MS SQL Server: SQL Server 2005 MS SQL Server: SQL Server 2005 DB2: 9.x DB2: 9.x Postgres 8.2/8.3 Postgres 8.2/8.3 MySQL 5 MySQL 5

4. Planning for Appx 4.3  RDBMS may force O/S upgrade  SSL encryption may force O/S Upgrade (linked Open SSL library)‏

5. Planning for Appx 4.3  Only the current Release and the Release prior are supported.  Once 4.3 is released, the ‘supported’ releases of Appx will be 4.2 and 4.3.  All prior releases will be ‘unsupported’.  If you have a problem with an unsupported release, the first recommendation will likely be ‘upgrade’.
