Need to upgrade XCOM for Linux 11.0 SP00 to be able to support TLS 1.2 ciphers.
What XCOM for Linux version supports TLS 1.2 and please provide the link to download it?
Release : 11.6
Component : XCOM Data Transport for Linux PC
1. Support for TLS 1.2 with XCOM for Linux started with release 11.6 SP01: XCOM Data Transport for UNIX/Linux 11.6.1 > Release Notes> Enhanced Features > Service Pack 11.6.01
2. To download the 11.6 SP01 software please follow these steps:
===
a. After portal login and reach dashboard page (https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/my-dashboard), make sure "Mainframe Software" is selected in the drop down on the top right hand side (next to "logged in" name).
b. Use "My Downloads" and in "Search by Product Name" search for XCOM to get to this page: https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productdownloads?subfamily=XCOM.
c. In "Search by Product Name" search for Linux and select "XCOM Data Transport for Linux (PC)" which when expanded shows hyperlink for Release=11.6 (Service Pack=SP01).

3. The upgrade steps to 11.6 SP01 are located here: XCOM Data Transport for UNIX/Linux 11.6.1 > Installing > Install Using ISO Conventional Method > Upgrade Using ISO Conventional Method
NOTE: For this particular scenario i.e. an upgrade from 11.0 SP00, a direct automatic upgrade to 11.6 SP01 is not supported and the manual upgrade steps are documented under: XCOM Data Transport for UNIX/Linux 11.6.1 > Installing > Install Using ISO Conventional Method > Upgrade from Release 11.0
4. After doing the upgrade install the latest SP01 patch to ensure avoiding any known problems. Only the latest patch needs to be installed because XCOM patches are cumulative i.e. contain all fixes created since the previous service pack they are built on.
Please follow these steps:
===
a. From above page https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productdownloads?subfamily=XCOM, select the Solutions tab to get to page: https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/productdownloads?subfamily=XCOM&tab=Solutions
b. In "Search by Product Name" search for Linux and select "XCOM Data Transport for Linux (PC) LINUX -ALL" which when expanded shows hyperlink for 11.6 that opens this page: https://support.broadcom.com/group/ecx/solutionfiles?sellable=XCOMLP555&os=LINUX%20-ALL&release=11.6&solution=XCOM%20Data%20Transport%20for%20Linux%20(PC)%20LINUX%20-ALL&subfamily=XCOM
Only need to download and install the latest SP01 patch because XCOM patches are cumulative.

To access the 12.0 software follow the same steps in #2 above.
