Product documentation

Abstract
This document contains system requirements for IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.0 on IBM AIX.

Content

Back to all V7.0 detailed system requirements

This document describes the minimum product levels that need to be installed before opening a problem report with the WebSphere Application Server Support team. Because other products
frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, testing every configuration is not possible. In general, you can install and run with updates to supported products if those updates are forward
compatible. For additional information about available support for configurations that are not included in the following list, refer to support article, WebSphere Application Server has grown and so
have your requirements.

The following list identifies the products that are supported when WebSphere Application Server runs on the AIX operating system. It is not necessary to run these products on the same machine or
operating system as WebSphere Application Server.
