Support for Websphere TX

Post by Sreenivasulu »

Hi All,

I heard that IBM is withdrawing support to TX ?

OR

Is it just renaming the product ?

Is it true ?

Sounds pretty shocking to me. I don't know for sure, but WebSphere TX is a significant part of WebSphere Message Broker.... I'd be awfully surprised, and besides, end-of-life needs a lot of time, and TX is still actively selling........ sounds like an error in naming.

I, on the other hand, "have heard" that someone in Nigeria wants to deposit $40M into my bank account.

Please don't just go with "I have heard" - cite sources so you and we can check.

And if you keep reading the link you provided, you'd see that support was withdrawn for DataStage TX 8.0 and replaced with the equivalent WebSphere TX 8.1, 8.2 product. Nothing to see here, move along.
