RE: Die 7.1 Die! Was: FW: gsk rc =415, GSK_ERROR_BAD_PEER woes

Is 7.1 the last OS to support JDK 6?

We have one app that still runs on JDK 6. The app supposedly supports non-IBM JDK's 7 or 8, but no IBM JDK newer than 6.

JDK 6 is definitely something you should be migrating from. It's very old. There are vendors who had to be dragged kicking and screaming from that in order to get versions of their software to run on anything higher than IBM i 7.1. We had some lpars running older versions of Domino (due to Sametime concerns). When we finally got off of that version of Sametime we could upgrade them to 7.2. Took us so long that we actually then upgraded them to 7.3 the next quarter.
The reason it took so long was that IBM could not find one public reference for us with the latest version of Sametime running on IBM i. We waited over a year. We migrated it to Windows. For meetings we moved to their cloud Connections Community. We've just inked the deal to migrate from that to Citrix.

I suggest you do as Scott suggested and open a ticket with IBM on this and try to find that PTF.
