Re: Reasons to upgrade from V7R1 to V7R2, V7R3

Technically, some might argue that IBM has already dropped support for
7.1. With the lack of acceptable ciphers. That's a huge thing to a lot
of people. Heck, I was told it was quite a discussion at LUG but IBM
didn't budge.

So, even though you're looking to "create a document", it seems to me that
the ultimatum is that your boss tells your vendors that you're upgrading
to
v7r3 on such-and-such a date and if they don't certify their products to
run on v7r3 at least 60 days prior to your upgrade date, that your company
will find someone who does.

Amen brother! 7.3. Burn the boats! If you settle for 7.2 then those
<expletive deleted> vendors will continue to use JDK 6.
