When Cognos BI 7.3 extended support going to expire?
========================================
Please can anyone provide me the info that when IBM/Cognos stop supporting the Cognos BI 7.3 extended support?
Currently we are in the planning process to move to Cognos BI 8.4 in the future but due to budget issue we may have to delay for some time.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I haven't heard of a cutoff date for generic Series 7 support, except for Cognos Query and Architect, which stop being supported products at the end of the 7.4 support window.
The link to the Series 7 committment statement can be found here (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3635&uid=swg27014893)
You may need to upgrade to 7.5 (once it is released) in order to retain a supported environment, but the basic message from IBM is that they will continue to support and enhance the Series 7 product line as long as customers demand it and it makes business sense.
Regards,
MF.
