Issue/Introduction

In DX UIM 23.4 CU4 Robot and hub support was dropped for RHEL 7.x versions. 

I'm still running RHEL 7.x robots and I'm upgrading to DX UIM 23.4.4 (CU4) and upgrading the robots to 23.4.4.

Can I upgrade the robots with RHEL 7.x to 23.4.4 even though they will not be supported by Broadcom? Will they work?  

Environment

DX UIM 23.4.4 (CU4)

Cause

Supportability question

Resolution

For RHEL 7.* server, 23.4.4 robot_update can be used.

Broadcom dropped official support, but it should work as is, but with one condition:
java_jre running on the server must be 2.22 or lower.

(Java_jre 2.22 is delivered with CU3), CU4 has a higher version.
So for RHEL 7, you can use 23.4.4 but you should keep java_jre 2.22.
