Markt posted this link in the thread we have here talking about MQ 8.0. I'm posting it again inder its own heading so it has a better chance of being seen. So far its a bit of a secret - the software support life cycle page still shows no EOL for MQ 7.0.0 and 7.0.1.

September 2015 is EOS for MQ 7.0.*

And WMB 7.0 as well - JHC! - we've only just got people onto that version!

We are only just over halfway through on ours - hundreds of production queue managers. We only do Unix/Linux but our mainframe colleagues seem to zoom up in no time - well yeah, they've only got 20 or so production beasts to worry about.

But frankly this is ridiculous. I am working almost full-time to migrate from ageing Solaris and 6.0 to Linux and MQ7 and hope to have it sorted by the end of summer this year - when we have a grand total of one year of service before we are unsupported (aqain).

This isn't so much as a Forth Road Bridge job more the Red Queens race - running constantly to stay where you are.

And of course my favourite group of people the IBM Marketeers are responsible. So what wonderful new features are now available that are missing in V7, that justifies a new release? Er, diddly squat it seems - a couple of tweaks and that's it

I don't understand this policy (IBM's policy)

We are also doing nothing but updating the "base" products and regression testing them (with our own components)

On the server software usually has much longer timespans than on the client: 5 years, 10 years
