A follow on question was whether this changes the support timeframe for AIX.
In the announcement Longer support for webMethods 10.15 they said
“Due to the unavailability of support from IBM for the JVM after 2025, we cannot support customers running webMethods products on AIX and z/Linux for the extended period”
That statement is no longer accurate. IBM Java 17 has a long support timeline.
Unfortunately, Software Ag confirmed AIX support will not be extended. Perhaps IBM will have a different take, since they have more of a stake in AIX.
