Re: Upgrade from V7R1 to V7R3 - compelling reasons?

There are also a multitude of features (SQL in particular) that are not available on V7.1.

For me, by far the biggest carrot was full support of the new
RPM-based open source packages. (You could get much of these to work
on 7.1 if you applied the right PTFs, but everything was built,
tested, and confirmed to work starting with 7.2.)

But if my memory serves the big problem I recall people reporting is that 7.1 does not support the encryption levels now required by many companies and IBM is not going to provide them.

Yes, this is without a doubt the biggest stick for any shop where the
i needs to communicate with the outside world.
