Re: With the dropping of a few features from IBM i are there vendor software concerns?

James you said in relation to DFU " ... but there are a number of
commercial applications (including our oldest) and at least one open source
application, that do what it does, and a lot better... " I just did a
search and am not coming up with anything other than DBU. What are some of
these products? Not looking for any recommendation just a list. My boss
asked for a list.
TIA

My comments really relate to Mark Waterbury's note that the products in the
list have no observability, so in Jim's thinking of possible major update
similar to Cisc to Risc, without ibm accommodation, would seem to be a hard
stop to using old tool functionality.
Rob, you are correct, in that my concern is not vendor software of
your original post, but the rest of the world outside of vendor software.
Lots of systems don't fit into vendor software (on any platform).

Hopefully this doesn't come as a surprise to most of you but most vendor

The original thread of this particular question is: will the lack of any

of

these cause issues with vendor supplied applications?
A classic example:
In times past IBM normally dropped a level of Java with each new release.
This played absolute havoc with Domino. It sometimes took a year to get

a

version of Domino which would work on the current release. Not that I've
heard that they will drop a release of Java again - I'm just using that

as

an example of what kind of concerns I'm looking for.

Does anyone know of any vendor supplied solution for IBM i which will

have

an issue with this statement?

IBM i 7.5 will be the last release that will deliver the following
functions from the IBM i portfolio:

Just trying to find out if I need any vendor issues resolved before

that

comes out. Based on IBM i's 3 year cycle it's likely to be next spring.
