Currently running eformz on IBMi V7.2, but will be upgrading OS to 7.3 or 7.4 in near future. Would we need to upgrade our EFORMZ software if we upgrade the OS ? Your system requirements doc says 7.1 or later. Just want to confirm we don’t need to upgrade your software as well.
Thanks
Hi Jeff,
eFORMz Version 11 requires Java 8. To run eFORMz Version 11, you must run an OS version that supports Java 8. Based on the information at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/support-java-development-kit-jdk-80-ibm-i-os, it appears that IBM i Version 7.1 and higher will work. There is not a specific requirement to upgrade eFORMz, but you will need to get a new license. We are happy to help.
