Query regarding softwares for upgrade
Hi,
Our applications are going to be migrated to following platforms on our internal cloud.
EM Application 1. IBM WebSphere Liberty v21.0.0.6 2. JAVA 8.0_6.31 3. Oracle 19 CBID CBID Application 1. IBM WebSphere Liberty v21.0.0.6 2. JAVA 8.0_6.31 3. PostgreSQL 11
Could you let me know which version of Pega we can use 8.5 or 8.6?
Platform support guide does not mention anything about IBM WebSphere Liberty v21.0.0.6. So we wanted to get clarity about which Pega version we can use for upgrade.
Also, please confirm if there will be any issue with above combination. And as per my understanding, we need to go with WAR deployment (and not EAR deployment). Please provide confirmation on the same as well.

@SandipP9 As per the platform guide, IBM WebSphere Liberty v20.0.0.x (using IBM Java 8) is supported for Pega 8.6 and it is supported for WAR installations only.

So could you confirm if we can not go ahead with IBM WebSphere Liberty v21.0.0.6 2. JAVA 8.0_6.31 with Pega 8.5/8.6? As per my understanding, Pega supports upgrading to higher version softwares

IBM WebSphere Liberty v20.0.0.x (using IBM Java 8) is supported for Pega 8.6 and would suggest going with the same version as this is tested and certified.
Thank you

Could you confirm if we go with higher version of liberty, will Pega provide support in case of any issues? As far as i know Pega always recommends to go with upgraded version of softwares and to help customers in case of any issues.

Hi Sandip,
IBM WebSphere Liberty v20.0.0.x (using IBM Java 8) is supported for Pega 8.6 and would suggest going with the same version as this is tested and certified. Any deviation from upgrade guide is not supported but you can submit the INC ticket to confirm on the same from Pega support team.
Once you raise an INC, please update the thread here so that we can track here also.
Thank you.
