I don't understand how ISVs don't support a newer release.

It's super simple (well, once you find the "new" website) to set up a free
hosted partition using Virtual Loaner at any OS level with IBM.

Too many dependencies on "ported" products maybe? Most "native" stuff like
C, RPG, even Java don't seem to have issues with newer releases unless it's
a bug.

I just asked my manager for an update on our major 3rd party product, if
they are certified on V7R2.
We asked originally 2/4/15, still testing.
Now we got an answer back they don't have the hardware/resources for a
V7R2 LPAR.
So in other words, they haven't even started their V7R2 upgrade to certify
their product.
Not sure if I should mention their product, (probably did on some other
threads) , but someone needs to give them a KIA.

Clearly the ISVs should support 7.2 some still don't (boneheads!) However
many MANY won't be supporting i 7.3, er iNext, quite yet so that would mean
only i 7.2 for many customers if i 7.1 isn't available at least as a guest.

I honestly wouldn't expect that TR11 has 8+ support. Given testing cycles
that would have to mean POWER8+ is in the can for months already.

Given that i 7.3, um I mean iNext, has not been announced yet it's not
very reasonable for IBM to have only one widely supported release
available for it's newest generation of hardware. Clearly iNext won't
be supported by all ISVs yet (though it SHOULD BE) and it should be
pretty close to iNext announce for POWER8+ </snip>

If they announce iNext first, or same time, then there will be two
versions supported for Power 8+ And, if it's really that close, then
it is possible that TR11 of 7.1 has Power 8+ support.

And, while many ISV's can only be dragged kicking and screaming to go
to a new release, 7.2 has been out long enough that they should support
that.

If you think IBM plays software releases close to their chest that's
nothing compared to hardware. The last thing they want is someone not
buying new hardware this quarter on the belief that something new is
imminent.
