| As of April 30th 2018, IBM will discontinue support on all versions of WebSphere Application Server running on Java 6. |
| This means that WAS release v7, v8 and v8.5 - if on Java - will no longer qualify for IBM support within the next year. |
| It's recommended that you migrate to WebSphere Application Server v.8.5 or v.9.0 to avoid potential security issues that may occur on the early, unsupported versions of WebSphere and Java. |
Don't wait until you have an emergency situation!
