Issue/Introduction

Is Easytrieve v11.6 compatible with Linux 7.7 or higher?

Where is this documented?

 

 

Environment

EASYTRIEVE REPORT GENERATOR FOR FOR LINUX PC, release 11.6

Resolution

Please see this link for the following information regarding Redhat Enterprise Linux releases which are supported:

https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/release-announcements/CA-Easytrieve-and-CA-Pan-SQL-Release-and-Support-Lifecycle-Dates/4359

 

So,  Redhat Linux 6, 7, and 8 are fine with Easytrieve release 11.6, the latest release.

6, 7, 8 are major versions of Redhat Enterprise Linux distribution. The distribution is a collection of "Linux" kernel and 3rd party libraries and utilities, which allow one to run the system.  Linux versions 6, 7, 8 (including the minor releases such as 7.7) are supported by Easytrieve for Linux. 

The "linux" itself is just the system kernel (aka z/OS nucleus), which has its own version, that is not related to the distribution version.

 

Easytrieve doesn't have dependency on specific linux kernel version, nor linux distribution, it just needs 32-bit support and glibc >= 2.12.  GlibC is a C runtime library and provides 32-bit support.  

 

Easytrieve officially supports RHEL distribution family, but it works on virtually every Linux distribution.
